What Shows Have You Been To Lately?

Just saw Puscifer like two weeks ago. Maynard James Keenan is still killing it, but Tool is a ton better.

Went to see David Lindley a few weeks ago with fairly lowered expectations- I knew his early solo work, and the Jackson Browne stuff but not much beyond that. The guy can play everything seemingly- from acoustic, electric to banjo, mandolin. And he played a really, really long set, almost 2 and a half hours. Spoke with him after the show, told him we were surprised he played so long and he said "well, I had to play until it sounded right, and it just didn't, so i kept going until it did"...

On Monday night I saw Girl Pusher who I thought was pretty awesome. When me and my friends were driving to the show, the full moon looked huge and orange on the horizon. They were basically a female fronted Death Grips except they were more conventionally EDM oriented musicwise. Their singer was out of her mind on acid while on stage and put on a really intense performance during the screaming vocal bits. Her clean melodies were ok.

The band that headlined was Show Me the Body who absolutely blew the place to pieces with their performance. They were a post hardcore outfit that I knew nothing about (I went to the show because my friend is the singer for Girl Pusher) made up of bass/synth player, drummer, and a singer who played the electric banjo. I didn't even realize it was a banjo until halfway through the show (too busy in the pit), I just thought he was an especially off kilter guitarist. They reminded me of a post hardcore version of This Heat when I saw them, but returning to their recorded material has me a little bit underwhelmed tbh. Definitely see them if you have the chance, they're the best punk related group I've seen perform.

After the show me and my mates were hanging with the crowd and shared a joint with Tyler the Creator and Vincent Staples. Didn't even realize who they were until one of my friends started fanboying over them. I was more interested in hanging with Show Me the Body, anyway.

Tonight I saw the Front Bottoms play in Bristol (UK). Hadn't been to one of their gigs before, so it surprised me to find out that their fans mainly consisted of 'alternative' 15 year olds. They were awesome though. Support was a guy called Kevin Devine who was also brilliant.

Only bad thing about the gig was having the view of the band constantly obscured by kids crowdsurfing their way onto stage, before security four times their age threw them off.

My sister, whose 16, loves that band.

They've been getting a huge young teen fanbase recently, probably cause of Fueled by Ramen but still think they're a decent group.
