Tour Dates Archives
« Page 2 of 5 »Here are some of the links that have been clogging up my inbox during my work-imposed blogging hiatus.
[mp3] The Mountain Goats | Sax Rohmer #1
New record HERETIC PRIDE out now.
[mp3] The Whigs | Right Hand on My Heart
Heard nothing but good things about this band, mostly from this guy. They start a short tour with the Spinto Band in the next few days.
[mp3] Ghostland Observatory | Dancin' On My Grave (Let There Be Vinyl remix)
At the 9:30 Club on March 29th.
[mp3] Nik Freitas | Sun Down
My friend (yes I'm a name dropper) Jim Fairchild can't say enough good things about Mr. Freitas. Instrumental Analysis concurs.
[mp3] These United States | First Sight
Local boys finally doing some good away from home. Can't recommend these guys enough, but you can see for yourself in March.
[mp3] Say Hi | Northwestern Girls
[mp3] Say Hi | Toil And Trouble
[mp3] Say Hi | Zero To Love
I am loving Say Hi's new album The Wishes And The Glitch. Droney, dream pop at its best. Playing the Black Cat on March 4th. I'll be there.
[mp3] Dead Meadow | I'm Gone
[mp3] Dead Meadow | What Needs Will Be
Unofficial favorite band of the Super Furry Animals. Bunf never shuts up about them.

Just last night I was thinking to myself, if the Furries are indeed touring in January, they need to release those dates ASAP because your boy has a lot going on that month and I need to plan accordingly.
Yes, I sit at home thinking about Super Furry Animals tour dates. I am fucking weird slightly obsessive, OK?

First reaction: w00t!
Second reaction: Fuck, I have the mother of all projects due at work on January 30th.
Third reaction: Chicago on a weekend!
Fourth reaction: Fuck, I have a trip to Florida for work that week.
Fifth reaction: Detroit on a weekend!
Sixth reaction: Fuck, it's on a Sunday.
Seventh reaction: Boston on a weekend!
Eight reaction: Fuck, the Celtics are on the road then.
Ninth reaction: Screw you guys, I'm, going to Expedia to book a flight to Beantown!
Tenth reaction: Wait...Hoboken! Maxwells! Hmmmmmm...
So as of now, my wish list would probably be Hoboken, Philly, D.C. and maybe Boston.
SFA shows at Maxwells are fucking legendary. I think I have to make that happen. Even if it's on a fucking Wednesday. I will have earned some time off by that point.
Grambo, you've been warned.
Due to the week ahead, I didn't even stay up all night celebrating Boston's second World Series win in four years. I have two monstrous projects bearing down on me at work and something going on Tuesday through Saturday. And to top it off, there are a ton of good shows this week. If we got all the shows on Tuesday spread over a week, I would be a happy camper. As it is, I have to choose and miss out on a lot of bands I want to see. Oh, and Morrissey's in town, D.C. United hosts the Chicago Fire in the MLS Playoffs and the Wizards home opener is Saturday. Whew. Here's the rundown:

I'm kind of regretting not being able to see ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead when they came through town last week. But at the same time, I'm not regretting staying home to watch glorious Game 7 of the ALCS. Still, from what I've read, ...Trail of Dead have gotten their fastball back (if I may use a baseball term). Here are some tunes from back in the day when they seemingly could do no wrong:
[MP3] ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead | A Perfect Teenhood (live)
[MP3] ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead | Baudelaire (live)
[MP3] ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead | Mark David Chapman (live)
