Northwest Music And Shows And Chitchat Thread

[Hannahrain]

[suprefan]

Youre going to make Dani make another subforum, aren't you.

[Hannahrain]

If I could make people do things you'd be wearing a dirndl right now.

[Scary Larry]

I have a ticket to the Black Keys show on 10/5, but thinking of swapping it for the Guided By Voices show. Already have my ticket for Deerhunter as well, I have yet to miss them when they come here.

Leonard Cohen I want to go to VERY badly, but I can't afford the great seats right now. I refuse to get a cheap seat for that show. That is something you pony up the money for a lifetime experience...sucks I don't have it now.

[Hannahrain]

The Doug Fir's booking person is ridiculously on point at all times. I'm consistently impressed. I bet that'll be a particularly gorgeous setting for Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan.

I have a ticket to the Black Keys show on 10/5, but thinking of swapping it for the Guided By Voices show. Already have my ticket for Deerhunter as well, I have yet to miss them when they come here.

Leonard Cohen I want to go to VERY badly, but I can't afford the great seats right now. I refuse to get a cheap seat for that show. That is something you pony up the money for a lifetime experience...sucks I don't have it now.

I have a ticket for that same Keys show, and I'm in the same boat for Leonard Cohen. I'll probably wind up getting a cheap seat unless they sell out before I have a chance to.

[MarkO]

I got a cheap seat for Leonard Cohen as it's better than not going at all which is what I would be doing if the only other option was the spendy tickets.

The Doug Fir's booking person is ridiculously on point at all times. I'm consistently impressed.

I've seen many great shows there. Always amusing to be eating dinner at the counter at the bar then look to your right and see Bob Mould sitting there eating his.

[wmgaretjax]

tonight is fennesz/oneohtrix point never/noveller at benaroya. fuck yes.

[kreutz2112]

I'll be at the arcade fire show in portland on 9/30.

[Aurgasm]

Theo, Carl and Kevin after optical 2!

[boarderwoozel3]

So there's this gathering of electronic music enthusiasts in Seattle, Decibel Festival. It's pretty goddamn awesome.

[miscorrections]

tonight is fennesz/oneohtrix point never/noveller at benaroya. fuck yes.

Yeah. I'm a little nervous, not sure if I can make it through 3 hours of everything without getting squirmy/sleepy, but should be good.

[wmgaretjax]

Yeah. I'm a little nervous, not sure if I can make it through 3 hours of everything without getting squirmy/sleepy, but should be good.

I wouldn't worry... Noveller might be a bit sleep inducing... but fennesz will sear the place and OPN will probably through in enough r&b and slow jams to keep it groovin'. Seriously, if OPN is really playing for an hour it's gonna be nuts, he was really fantastic at On Land.

[clumsy342]

yeah, who else is going to Arcade Fire? I just picked up a ticket yesterday from knowIDyuh (thanks again). And it looks like I'm going alone.

[Hannahrain]

Looks like Leonard Cohen cheap seats are sold out. There's nothing under $99.

[Pixiessp]

I need to move. Either to Portland or San Fran. Already did LA.

[Scary Larry]

Ty Segall: October 14th-Mississippi Studios

If you like garage rock, you will LOVE this.

[boarderwoozel3]

For some post Decibel Festival dancey good times; Lorn is playing Chop Suey Nov. 17th. Seeing as he as one of the Festival's standout acts I'll definitely be there.

[miscorrections]

I'd be there if it wasn't a Wednesday.

[kreutz2112]

Someone is trying to get me to go to EOTO tomorrow at wonder ballroom. Anyone heard them? They are grouped as jamband electronic. I hate sts9.

[boarderwoozel3]

Mumford and Sons in Seattle Oct. 24 got moved from the Moore to the Paramount. The extra 1,400 tickets go on sale tomorrow, 10/1/10 @ 10am.

I want to get one but really shouldn't. Perhaps a swing by the box office after class is in order. Just to look

Someone is trying to get me to go to EOTO tomorrow at wonder ballroom. Anyone heard them? They are grouped as jamband electronic. I hate sts9.

They're playing with a bunch of dubby hip-hop influenced djs. The shit that nu-hippies are into. Sort of like a poor man's Bassnectar.

I'd be there if it wasn't a Wednesday.

Whoops, I made a bad. He's playing Friday Nov. 19th.

[boarderwoozel3]

Also, lllluuuuuulllllllzzzzzzzzzz @ M.I.A. for still not having sold out Showbox Market. Arrogant bitch deserves as much charging $37.50/ticket. My how the trendy have fallen...

[rage patton]

A year or two ago MIA would have sold out the Paramount... now she can't even sell out the Market? That is hilarious.

[Hannahrain]

X feat. all original members - Jan. 1, Roseland Grill, $20 pre-fees through Ticketswest. Looks like two live sets and a movie screening.

[MarkO]

From the Jackpot Records mailing;

October 15th marks a day to be remembered. Famed Indie rock icons SUPERCHUNK are coming out to Jackpot Records Downtown to play a FREE - ALL ACOUSTIC - ALL AGES in-store! Show up at or before 3:00 and take part in this possibly once-in-a-lifetime chance!

[Hannahrain]

Oh shit. That fits pretty perfectly into my schedule, too.

[boarderwoozel3]

X feat. all original members - Jan. 1, Roseland Grill, $20 pre-fees through Ticketswest. Looks like two live sets and a movie screening.

$20?! That show is double the price in Seattle. I'll be out of town at the time but still, deals.

[MarkO]

Oh shit. That fits pretty perfectly into my schedule, too.

Well there you go then.
