What Shows Have You Been To Lately?

Man Man with Murder by Death and Northern Arms
Great show! I've seen Man Man before, and though they've changed a bit since last time I saw them, they're still great. The other two, who I wasn't really familiar with, were great as well. Both were sort of the dark country category, though Northern Arms leaned in more of a dirge-like direction.

Hey Janszoon, how often do you go to see artists? Do you regularly go to gigs? I noticed your large list of bands seen in another thread and am impressed!

I don't go super often, maybe once every month or two on average. That list you're talking about really isn't that long when you consider that the timeframe it covers is over 25 years.

Yes I see what you mean! I wish I could go to more shows, there are some amazing bands that come to Auckland. I missed out on the Hollies, I'm going to miss Tool, all because I have no money!

I saw Paul McCartney not too long ago. Worst crowd ever though, seemed like no one knew that they were even at a concert.

Kodō
Just got back from seeing these guys, who are a large percussion ensemble from Japan. Freaking amazing show. Honestly, I got choked up a few times during the show, overwhelmed by the raw power of what they were playing. If you ever have a chance, I highly recommend seeing them.

Pallbearer in Hot Springs, OOOOO BOY. I threw my neck out. It was massive.

I also caught some Peelander-Z after the former band. Oooo boy? I didn't have the energy for the whole show unfortunately :( video later.

Red Baraat with Vandana Jain and Parijat Desai Dance Company
I can't even begin to express how incredible Red Baraat were live. My wife and I had these really great seats literally on a couch up in a balcony area but neither of us could stay seated because the music was just so high energy that we couldn't keep from dancing. At one point this tiny older lady came over and started dancing with us and it turned out she was the drummer's mom. She was so proud of her son. It was pretty adorable. Anyway, great show. If you get a chance, see these guys live.

The openers were decent too. The Parijat Desai Dance Company were great; it was kind of neat to see a dance group as an opening act at a concert. And Vandana Jain was a little rough around edges, but still played some worthwhile Berlin-esque retro 80s electronic music.

Here's some Red Baraat if you're unfamiliar:

I saw Neon Trees with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin.

Both bands put on a great show. The sound was atrocious though. The bass player/sound man ruined it for everyone.

I also saw French Horn Rebellion with about 30 other people in a tiny little club here. One of the best shows I've ever been to in my life. I was literally 3 feet away from the band.
