Upcoming Shows

[ThomThom]

Postal Service in ANY venue bigger than the Wiltern seems redic to me. They had ONE album a decade ago and is mellow as hell. Sleep inducing even. How the fuck people gonna go into an arena chill in the nosebleeds and enjoy that show at all?!?!? This and Passion Pit at MSG just makes no sense to me.

Almost as redic as Swedish House Mafia at LA Historic Park?

Almost as redic

It cracks me up when people type "redic." There's no "e" in "ridiculous."

They're not already booked, but Keith works with FYF and has for years. And Chuck said in an interview that Dez Cadena has joined on as well, so it should be a two guitar assault, with two of the four vocalists from Black Flag.

Keith and Chuck both hate Ginn, and Ginn forced Chuck out of the band because he didn't like how he played. He said the same about Stevenson for some reason, but I think his biggest reason is that he has said he doesn't want to just be a nostalgia act and those guys all want to do their own thing and work in their own ways. Ginn is very particular about how he writes, records and plays, so he's gotta have control. I mean, he quit Black Flag because Rollins was getting too big and he couldn't get a new singer without people thinking that whatever Rollins did afterwards was the real heir to Black Flag.

I'm excited to see both for very different reasons. Flag will be fun to see them perform from all eras of the catalog, and to finally hear the My War, Slip It In and Loose Nut stuff with two guitars, but Black Flag is and always has been Greg Ginn's band. I'm more excited to see one of my favorite bands existing again.

And expect horrible reviews for the new albums, only to have that opinion change in 20 years, like they have with the post-Damaged work.

I kinda figured he was a control freak after watching this interview couple years ago...

Lol @ old people doing stage dives and smelling like potato chips/ couch/ tooth decay. No wonder Rollins decided to save his voice.

Nah. SHM soldout Milton Keynes Bowl which holds 65K and every single arena in the world for the last year. Postal Service hasn't toured in a decade and milking the same one album. With SHM at least you know you'll get ur money's worth in the massive amount of lazerz and fist pumps alone. A postal service concert is gonna consist of Ben standing on stage in a basketball arena looking miserable and singing sad songs for an hour inducing massive amounts of hipsters to cry into their pbr and/or fall asleep. #notthesame

Good For You is Greg Ginn and Mike Vallely, the pro skateboarder. The tracks they've released so far are pretty damn hard and pretty damn good.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Damn, it would have been an awesome excuse to do an April Vegas trip if How To Destroy Angels and Postal Service were there the same weekend.

“It’s roughly a discotheque with a wooden floor and air conditioning that’s meant to cater to the lost of art of DJing and mixing records,” he says, adding that it’s in contrast to the big lights and bombastic sounds of the Sahara Tent. “There’s a place for that, but part of what we’re responding to as Metropolis relaunches is that there are adults and other generations who want to listen to this music presented in a thoughtful way.”

yes i know there is a thread about the new stage but i cant find it

[bmack86]

That sounds great. Hopefully that's where they'll put Richie Hawtin.

[stinkbutt]

If Black Flag is playing Des Moines they better play here. I don't wanna make that shitty drive

[SoulDischarge]

That sounds great. Hopefully that's where they'll put Richie Hawtin.

DJ Harvey plz. Hawtin is a big name, I can't imagine he'd be anywhere but Sahara.

[tmac]

Harvey for sure. Jamie xx, seth, jamie jones, joris voorn as well i would imagine

[moviebruin]

DJ Harvey plz. Hawtin is a big name, I can't imagine he'd be anywhere but Sahara.

Yah Hawtin is way too big for that and will be in the Sahara.

I can see all the Resident Advisor darlings at this stage like Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Maya Jane Coles, and perhaps Julio Bashmore. Disclosure might be too big for this by April. Either way I think this is gonna be real nice.

[SlowMotionApocalypse]

Black Flag should headline Punk Rock Picnic.
