Oh snap, cool. Wonder if I have that Monday off then? Would make the Tycho show more likely.Quote:

Holy shit. I skipped PiL at Coachella because...whatever. Now I can see him. W00t.
Quick, somebody notify Tom. Had to miss PiL at Coachella because they conflicted with Fever Ray (which was by far the right decision to make). So glad to see a Phoenix date to make up for that.
I think PiL was playing as I left the festival because I remember hearing some familiar song on my way out....
THIS IS NOT A LOVE SONG
This might not appeal to anyone, but Nick Lowe Monday 10/01/12 at the musical instrument museum. And so it goes..
Don't know who Nick Lowe is.
PiL tickets purchased. 2 come out to $67 after fees.
Well he's not as exciting as PIL. Similar in style to Elvis Costello, but his last album has a retro 50s feel. He also did an album with a band called Rockpile.
I got my Presets tickets for the Pomona show yesterday! It's just a few days before PIL so that should be a great week.
Who wants my ID fest tickets???! Cash or sexual favors only please
yes you do.Quote:

Japandroids - 11-07 - Scottsdale, AZ - Martini Ranch
How is this venue?
It's fine. Saw an unplugged Metric show there a couple years back and it was packed, then Marnie Stern last February and it was considerably less crowded.
Bleached is the opener for that Japandroids show. Really good if you're into the three chord grungy stuff. I'm not a big fan of Martini, but it's ok. My recollection is the floor space is somewhat small and then there are some tables in the back. Some of the tables are on a raised level near the soundbooth. But 100 or so people and the floor would be packed, but with the stage sitting about waist high it's easy to get a good view. At least there are taxis in that area to drive me home.
Surge to Japandroids or STRFKR? STRFKR has a huge advantage right now since they are playing the Crescent Ballroom. Torn.Quote:

Matthew Dear and Light Asylum at RR Oct 29th. I really dig both of these artists. The Light Asylum singer reminds me of Alison Moyet, especially on A Certain Somone and Shallow Tears.
I've seen a bunch of local shows at Martini Ranch, and I have enjoyed it every time. I went to a sold out Temper Trap show there and it wasn't too bad. Sound is decent, stage is high up so you can see pretty well, and there is a ton of patio space so you have room to hang out beween bands.Quote:
