What Shows Have You Been To Lately?

Man Man with Murder by Death and Northern Arms
Great show! I've seen Man Man before, and though they've changed a bit since last time I saw them, they're still great. The other two, who I wasn't really familiar with, were great as well. Both were sort of the dark country category, though Northern Arms leaned in more of a dirge-like direction.

Earth with King Dude
Earth was great, heavy and hypnotic and everything I expected them to be. They mostly played stuff from the new album but also a smattering of older stuff. It was a pretty small venue which was a great place to see them and the kind of place where the band is just hanging out with everyone afterwards. Got a chance to briefly meet Dylan Carlson because of this and he seemed like a really nice guy.

King Dude was also fantastic. They sounded amazing and had a great stage presence. I definitely need to check out some of their albums.

Hey Janszoon, how often do you go to see artists? Do you regularly go to gigs? I noticed your large list of bands seen in another thread and am impressed!

I don't go super often, maybe once every month or two on average. That list you're talking about really isn't that long when you consider that the timeframe it covers is over 25 years.

Yes I see what you mean! I wish I could go to more shows, there are some amazing bands that come to Auckland. I missed out on the Hollies, I'm going to miss Tool, all because I have no money!

I saw Paul McCartney not too long ago. Worst crowd ever though, seemed like no one knew that they were even at a concert.

Kodō
Just got back from seeing these guys, who are a large percussion ensemble from Japan. Freaking amazing show. Honestly, I got choked up a few times during the show, overwhelmed by the raw power of what they were playing. If you ever have a chance, I highly recommend seeing them.

Pallbearer in Hot Springs, OOOOO BOY. I threw my neck out. It was massive.

I also caught some Peelander-Z after the former band. Oooo boy? I didn't have the energy for the whole show unfortunately :( video later.

I saw Neon Trees with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin.

Both bands put on a great show. The sound was atrocious though. The bass player/sound man ruined it for everyone.

I also saw French Horn Rebellion with about 30 other people in a tiny little club here. One of the best shows I've ever been to in my life. I was literally 3 feet away from the band.
