"Hopefully Evan is a little more sober than the AA album release show they played earlier this year."

i saw them in silver spring last year, and he forgot the words to a song he was playing solo. OOPS.

they closed the show by playing "this land is your land", and the other guys just kept playing, and he kept singing. them and all the AA guys on stage were all cracking up. by the end, they were trying to give him water bottles, but he'd just drink more.

i think he's gonna die soon.

you'd hope he could find help before it got to that. The new tracks from this upcoming album are pretty awesome. I'm really looking forward to it.

Yeah, I bought tickets to the 10/29 show at Lincoln Theater. Just got a little too excited and typed the wrong date on tww...whoops!

I'm still a little butthurt that I missed that show. I bought tickets for the Friday show before they announced opening acts and before they announced the second show with TT. The Black Lillies were good but they're definitely no John fucking Moreland or Turnpike Troubadours.

8/10/2015 11:24:05 PM

NRR you dog

8/10/2015 11:40:58 PM

^^haha i bought tickets to the first. then as soon as they announced the second i bought tickets for it because i just knew TT were gonna play it. john moreland was just an added bonus.

8/11/2015 6:05:16 PM

John Moreland will die before anyone else, sadly.

8/12/2015 8:56:21 AM

Nah, he's just big boned.

8/12/2015 1:43:53 PM

Archers of Loaf are coming again!

8/12/2015 1:54:38 PM

has anyone caught a show at The National in Richmond, VA?

thoughts?

8/21/2015 9:36:39 AM

I've been and thought it was pretty cool. If you eat at the connected restaurant before the show you can get in 15-20 minutes early.

8/21/2015 11:04:19 AM

Just saw that Nappy Roots (and Petey Pablo) are playing at Packapalooza this weekend

8/21/2015 12:45:54 PM

^^^ Saw MBV there years ago. Kind of a weird room, outside smoking area is tiny, but not bad in general.

8/22/2015 5:32:25 PM

Out of town for work and I found out Of Montreal is playing within walking distance last night. I'm a casual fan, but really enjoyed their set.

8/22/2015 7:07:04 PM

Anyone going to Father John Misty/Mikal Cronin tonight at The Ritz?? I haven't been to that venue in over a decade has it gotten any better sound wise?

9/29/2015 1:17:24 PM

Chatham County Line recently announced a show at the Ritz...kind of a weird place for them to play, but they do sell out the smaller places.

9/29/2015 1:46:44 PM

how great is beach house going to be at haw river next week?

also, just got tix to deerhunter/atlas sound at orange peel in december. pumped for that.

9/29/2015 11:30:28 PM

2nd time in a row that I'll be doing something wedding-related when Beach House is in town

last time all I had to do was leave a bachelor party early from Myrtle Beach to see them

I'll be in Colorado this time

9/29/2015 11:51:09 PM

Mikal Cronin & FJM were both great...awesome show

10/1/2015 9:29:47 AM

really, really hated missing FJM

In November I am thinking of taking off work and bumming it in NC for a few days for my birthday and attending:

Youth Lagoon, Minus the Bear, No Joy, Copeland, and Deafheaven on continuous nights at Cats Cradle (nov 3-8th).

Anyone attending any of those? That casts a fairly broad net of styles.

[Edited on October 2, 2015 at 2:20 PM. Reason : ]

10/2/2015 2:20:03 PM

probably going to Minus the Bear for the nostalgia of it

10/2/2015 2:38:56 PM

got tix for jenny lewis "rabbit furcoat" anniversary show in new york

Ghost is performing on Colbert on Oct 30. lol. I mean I love Ghost and their new record is hella good. But what a weird pairing. It's almost an insult if they were chosen as a 'halloween' guest.

10/21/2015 11:06:02 AM

Have you been watching Colbert? He's making an effort to expose his audience to as wide a variety of art as possible. That's how you have Kendrick and Yo-Yo Ma appearing in the same performance slot weeks apart. Ghost is no different.

10/22/2015 12:16:29 PM

yeah i mean i DVRd the kendrick performance and I know he just had beach house. His music has been good so far. But I still thought Ghost was out of left field for me. It's definitely cool that they are keeping a broad reach with the musical acts though. props to them. Interested to see how Ghost performs in that kind of setting.

10/22/2015 12:52:59 PM

Ghost slayed that performance. Glad they didn't downplay any of their over-the-topness haha

11/1/2015 10:12:28 PM

Kid Cudi is playing the Ritz Dec 11th

11/7/2015 2:44:08 PM

Ratatat will be at the Ritz January 19th!

11/9/2015 7:28:44 PM

4 shows in the past 4 nights. It's a tossup between Sufjan and Deafheaven. Two opposite ends of the spectrum and two absolutely fantastic sets.

Copeland was also very, very good. Just overshadowed by two of the most enjoyable shows I've seen in the past couple years.

No Joy was a little disappointing.

11/9/2015 8:46:12 PM

finally ended my unprecedented streak of not being able to see King Khan last night

twas worth the wait

11/11/2015 2:22:08 PM

Had to miss it because i was out of town. Hate I missed it, I've seen the Shrines but haven't seen the BBQ show.

John Prine was really good at DPAC last week.

Andrew Jackson Jihad Tuesday at MotorCo.

11/12/2015 1:19:43 PM

John Moreland was really good at Cat's Cradle last week, as usual.

11/12/2015 3:45:32 PM

there only about 30 people there to see it, but Shopping and Priests put on a hell of a show at Pinhook last night

11/16/2015 1:05:27 PM

Priests are so good.

But I was so tired.

11/16/2015 1:53:35 PM

they've been added to the must-see whenever they're in town list

fell in love with both the singer and the drummer about a dozen different times for completely different reasons

11/16/2015 2:12:19 PM

Andrew Jackson Jihad at MotorCo was good. And I was turned onto a new artist that was one of the opening acts, Jeffery Lewis. Apparently he's a comic drawer too, and he had several songs that were accompanied with slide shows. One was about Sitting Bull and one was about the Vietnam War.

11/25/2015 3:27:11 PM

bought tix to a few shows last week:

beirut in charlotte (has been solid in my rotation since gulag orkestar 10 years ago but never seen live)
father john misty in charlotte (my favorite album of 2015. never seen live.)
tame impala/m83 at merriweather post pavilion (have seen both before but this is a fantastic double dip and m83 has a new album coming out this year.)

pumped for all!

1/16/2016 7:25:37 PM

i, too, copped tix to the tame impala/m83 show. tame impala alone was $40 when they played in DC last year, so this is pretty great.

1/18/2016 11:11:35 AM

Probably going to get tickets for the Weezer & Panic at the Disco! show this summer. Really wish they weren't performing at Walnut Creek though, hate that venue.

1/18/2016 12:10:55 PM

that time m83 played at kings and i couldn't go

1/18/2016 1:02:02 PM

I'm still not sure how that happened

hell of a damn booking

1/18/2016 1:05:34 PM

think i'll go see deafheaven tomorrow night in charlotte.

1/20/2016 9:15:05 PM

Will probably go see Slayer and Testament on Feb 27. Two bands my brother and I grew up listening to that we haven't seen.

1/20/2016 10:16:05 PM

damn deafheaven show cancelled due to weather

1/21/2016 7:12:05 PM

Anybody at the Pinhook tonight? Apparently Sylvan Esso + Flock of Dimes etc are playing..https://www.instagram.com/p/BBDzEpkJzbz/

Who knows the lineup for tomorrow night???

1/27/2016 7:19:25 PM

Pearl Jam tickets are pricey like $68 + fees...is it worth it to see them in PNC? I've heard from multiple people shows there are bad.

1/28/2016 10:29:41 AM

if the shitty livenation set/app ever works properly for me, im planning to see deftones in dallas in march and at the drive in in boston in june. (plus a slew of other shows I'm buying tickets to today)

I was super sad to discover I missed that show. Seems like tonight is Mandolin Orange and Mipso.
