[Somewhat Damaged]

Twin Shadow

9/04 Phoenix AZ The Crescent Ballroom

This makes me very happy. Can't wait for his next album! Did anybody else see him at Coachella last year?

[captncrzy]

oooohhhhhh YES!

[Mr. Dylanja]

Nicki Minaj is coming to Comerica Theater.

I'd rather stab my ears out with an ice pick

[Mr. Dylanja]

With lyrics like, "kiss my ass and my anus, cuz it's finally famous" I thought you might've been a fan, cap'ncray.

how do you know this??? And can I get this on rock band?

I kind of like Nicky Minaj, but I haven't dedicated time to listening to her music. SNL appearances were fun. I love her makeup and wigs. And she seems comfortable in her skin. Not that it matters.

[SeantheJeweler]

Not sure if this has been posted but I got tickets for $25 and I think it's a steal for the talent they have coming! It's full of Coachella 2012 repeats but I missed a few of these including Madeon who I heard was pretty good. Wolfgang Gartner puts on a great show too last 2 times I saw him. For all you EDM heads out there ;-)

Thanks for posting. I haven't gotten around to getting a ticket yet, but I think I want to go. Is anyone else interested?

[nyarlathotoats]

I'm 90% certain I'll go

I love her.

No fuckin' way. If it weren't at that venue in August, starting in the middle of the day, then I'd maybe consider, but then I'd think about how it's basically the Sahara tent and I'd settle on saving my money.

[amyzzz]

Bah.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I know the cheesy chipped feline is going to be there.

I'm not too familiar with most of the names, but isn't it primarily trance? I wouldn't mind seeing Prydzzz set up.

[insbordnat]

Some trance, progressive house and dubstep. Sad thing is they've neutered the lineup for Phoenix. Sadder thing is the full lineup isn't much better.

And what SomewhatDamaged said.

[NachoCat]

I was a definite in for this but I decided that Pretty lights at Red Rocks is a little more important.

[captncrzy]

2pm outside in August? Only Depeche could get me out in that.

[amyzzz]

I wish we had a big indoors place for festivals like this. WHY CAN'T THEY BOOK IT INDOORS?

[Timestretch]

Minal reminds me of a fraggle.

Any meetup for Waters on Tuesday or Spiritualized on Sat? Also, I'm going to Jeff the Brotherhood at the RR on Thursday and maybe I Break for Horses on that Monday at Crescent. I have a big group going to Waters, but I'll probably be solo for Spiritualized and the other shows if anyone wants to meet up. BTW, Jeff TBH is awesome. It's like a blend of 70s classic rock with 90s Nirvana-ish rock so some big open jam moments followed by three chord jams. Rock the fuck out music.

[insbordnat]

I'll be at Spiritualized.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Jen & I will be at Spiritualized as well. I'm figuring they'll go on around 9:30 since there's just the one opener and the Crescent website says the show starts at 8:30. On the fence about getting there close to 9:30 and having dinner/drinks at the Crescent beforehand.

[captncrzy]

Let's go to Carly's for food/drinks beforehand. It's cheaper than the Crescent.

[Timestretch]

hmmm can't decide if I want to just sit on the back of the bleachers for this show and space out or what. It would be a shame to not drink for a Sat show where I can take the light rail home.

[amyzzz]

I'll be there too. Yay meet-up.

[Alligator Bogaloo]

I'll be taking my gf to Spiritualized. Can't wait to them again. Looking forward to seeing a few boardies, its been awhile.

Just got floor tickets for Black Keys! Sweetness.

[faxman75]

I'll be at Spiritualized as well. Tonight I will be at The Wall!

[Somewhat Damaged]

In the midst of all this Spiritualized talk, I took a look at the Stateside Presents page today & feel like sharing some of the notable shows coming up that I'm interested in attending (if only for recordkeeping purposes):

6/14 - YACHT (Crescent Ballroom; $12 - $14)
7/13 - Shearwater (Crescent Ballroom; $11 - $12)
8/15 - Sharon Van Etten/Tennis (Crescent Ballroom; $15 - $17)
9/4 - Twin Shadow (Crescent Ballroom; $14 - $15)
10/15 - Bombay Bicycle Club (Crescent Ballroom; $15 - $17)

Micah: how much were Black Keys tickets after fees? With a starting cost of $40.25, I'm probably going to avoid it since those'll be nosebleeds by the time I'm able to afford them.

[amyzzz]

8/15 - Sharon Van Etten/Tennis (Crescent Ballroom; $15 - $17)

I was just checking these two out due to Outside Lands. I would definitely be up for this show.
