********balls, queens of the stone age are playing two shows in LA in April. They will be playing their self titled in its entirety and I don't think I can go. jshfogidshfkjbn,,kjdfskgdsk;jgf

I guess I'll just wait to see them when their new album comes out. They'll be back, and hopefully that'll be during summer

I've got Pendulum coming up. In August.

Could have been a bit closer I guess, but never mind. I booked really early to get cheaper tickets.

Have you ever seen them live?

Their debut kinda sucked though.....

@ s__________________________k: nope
@ james: yeah but I don't have high expectations for their upcoming album, and it's kind of a choice between the two

their debut is fantastic, I'll be going, they're playing Manchester and London but Manchester isn't doable for me which is annoying cos it's closer, so London it is

I finally get to hear If Only live <3 they never played it when I saw them and it's arguably my favourite song

Their debut is my favourite record of theirs, I don't care what anyone says. I wish I could go and see them play that but I doubt I'll be able to finance it.

My possible upcoming gigs are...

27th Feb - Mogwai w/ Twilight Sad, Konx-om-Pax.

2nd March - Maybeshewill w/ Long Distance Calling, We are Knuckle Dragger, Maps Are Fiction.

4th April - Earth w/ Sabbath Assembly.

23rd April - Bonobo.

18th May - Low.

17th June - Hellfest Open Air, France - (The Stooges, Coroner, Kreator, Melvins, Electric Wizard, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, Monster Magnet, Kyuss, Opeth, Ozzy, Down, Grave, Morbid Angel, Meshuggah, EyeHateGod, Bolt Thrower, Sodom, Destruction, Judas Priest, Karma to Burn, Anathema, Atheist, Dark Tranquility, Hawkwind, Goatsnake, Red Fang....)

I saw those guys live back in '04, and they were great. Dave Wyndorf is rock. He's also a hella funny dude, and a cool guy in general.

I'm going to see The National this Saturday. Their last concert got great reviews, so I’m really hoping that they'll so as well as last time!
In March I’m seeing Veto live - they're one of my all time favorite bands and they'll play material from their new album, so that's exciting.

and then after I graduate this summer I’m going to Roskilde Festival. They’ve announced these names so far:
Afrocubism, Autopsy, Beatsteaks , Big Boi, Anna Calvi, De Eneste To, Matthew Dear, Eyehategod, How to Dress Well, I Was a King, Iceage, Iron Maiden, Kings of Leon, Kloster, L.O.C., Lukestar, Janelle Monaé, PJ Harvey, The Tallest Man on Earth, Terror, Kurt Vile & The Violators, Weekend.
I’m unfamiliar with a lot of them, but i trust Roskilde's bookers - they always end up having a great and very diverse group of bands play the festival.

I've seen them once too, probably around the same time you did. I enjoyed them but didn't know much about them before that show so I think I would appreciate it a lot more this time around.
