GZA and Killer Mike - 10/2 - Marquee Theater

I'm there.

[Somewhat Damaged]

FINALLY got my Tallest Man on Earth ticket for the Crescent. Besides Gribbz & me, who else is going?

[amyzzz]

Is that over Labor Day weekend?

[chairmenmeow47]

Shpongle Oct 11 at the Marquee. FINALLY. This will be the first concert Jacob will have gone to since Coachella 2010 I think. Tickets bought!

how much?

[Somewhat Damaged]

Is that over Labor Day weekend?

September 1, so I don't think so.

[chairmenmeow47]

September 1, so I don't think so.

labour day is 9/3, so yes, over labour day weekend.

FINALLY got my Tallest Man on Earth ticket for the Crescent. Besides Gribbz & me, who else is going?

I'm actually considering that whole weekend of shows at Crescent but we'll see.

Friday: Funk and Soul @ Midnight all vinyl party.
Saturday: Tallest Man on Earth
Sunday: Tycho/The Album Leaf
Monday: Yeasayer/Daedelus
Tuesday: Twin Shadow

labour day is 9/3, so yes, over labour day weekend.

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

[Timestretch]

No love for Purity Ring on that Friday? It'll probably before the Funk and Soul party.

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

Hmm, I'm eyeing that show. Fun over Labor Day weekend!

I just came in my pants.

Public Image Ltd, October 30th, Marquee Theater

[amyzzz]

Holy shit. I skipped PiL at Coachella because...whatever. Now I can see him. W00t.

[Somewhat Damaged]

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.

[amyzzz]

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

[Timestretch]

This might not appeal to anyone, but Nick Lowe Monday 10/01/12 at the musical instrument museum. And so it goes..

[Somewhat Damaged]

Don't know who Nick Lowe is.

PiL tickets purchased. 2 come out to $67 after fees.

[Timestretch]

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.

[NachoCat]

Who wants my ID fest tickets???! Cash or sexual favors only please

[TomAz]

Don't know who Nick Lowe is .

yes you do.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Listened to him for about an hour last night on Spotify -- nope, didn't know who he was before. Sorry to disappoint you, Tom.

Japandroids - 11-07 - Scottsdale, AZ - Martini Ranch

How is this venue?

[Somewhat Damaged]

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.

[Timestretch]

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.

Japandroids - 11-07 - Scottsdale, AZ - Martini Ranch

How is this venue?

Surge to Japandroids or STRFKR? STRFKR has a huge advantage right now since they are playing the Crescent Ballroom. Torn.

[Timestretch]

The Japandroids album is still one of my favorites of the year. I've only seen them once and it was a very high energy show. They also connected with the crowd really well so I'll still hit up that show despite having to go up to Scottsdale.


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.

Japandroids - 11-07 - Scottsdale, AZ - Martini Ranch

How is this venue?

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.

[TomAz]

Listened to him for about an hour last night on Spotify -- nope, didn't know who he was before. Sorry to disappoint you, Tom.

Apparently you've never listened to a single mix I've ever made and posted on here.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Apparently you've never listened to a single mix I've ever made and posted on here.

No, I don't think I've ever downloaded anybody's. Just don't hang out in those threads. Have barely downloaded a couple of Tommy's mixes that he's tagged me for on Facebook. Nothing personal.

So what about PiL, are you going?
