Yeah, I think they're the ultimate marmite band, especially amongst my friends. I know people who very near deify them, and others who have to leave the room when I put on one of their records. I like 'em though.

Is this a rescheduled Sleater-Kinney show? Im sure my pal wanted me to go to one a while back but then it wasnt mentioned again.

Providence, RI I presume?

I'm in Chicago :(

Truncated:
AMT are touring, and they usually hit Chicago. Check listings for late April!

Koji Shimura on drums with them now!
Fuck yeah.

It is indeed! Its at Oran Mor, 31st May, rescheduled from earlier in the year I think. There's still tickets available as far as I know.

me too

i'm excited as shit to see radiohead, sonic youth, beck, elvis costello, and soulive. soulive played our jazz fest a couple years ago and brought the fucking house (well not house but grassy field) down!@

Yeah, I knew AMT were here in May, but I have a goddamn wedding that night.

How's the weather in RI? Maybe it's time for a road trip.

Hey Truncated, You should check out KK Rampage and other Rampage Recordings/Boron Recordings bands. Totally rad. Totally Chicago.

I'm going to AMT in Minneapolis I believe. I have the date written down I just need to find someone to go with me.

There's this alt-rock festival coming up in early april, but it's not something I'm really enthusiastic about. The line-up seems to consist of bands that are pretty unknown to me.
We're probably going to go anyway.

I'm hoping to see Dinosaur Jr in April

guitarpro: I will be seeing Dinosaur Jr. on April 7, @ The Orange Peel. If you're gonna go see Dino Jr., try & go to this show so we can meet up there, & we'll tell everyone on the board what a great fucking show it was. This is the same venue I saw SY in, I still can't believe that. Do you live close to NC.?

Gooey, I'll go with you if you buy me a soda.

i'm going to see thurston tomorrow!!!

in may going to see lightning bolt, the boredoms and hopefully sy if they play in ireland...which they better or else.......

I'm going to see the BLAST4TET in an hour or so......looks a very interesting exp.band from their website!

i'm going to see thurston tonight!!!

thanks man!!

Enjoy! Post a review...I'm sure you will.

Zebulon Pike tonight. Instrumental doom metal epicness!

i saw stereolab & animal collective & a friend was playing w/ georgie james so we went to see him. what a fucking amazing week.

now it's over & we're going back to our cultural backwater of a town. :(

luckily w/ a bit more records.

but oh man this is gonna hurt!

---

kegmama: i was thinking of coachella too but @ $85 PER DAY (plus additional costs) seems to me a ripoff... not sure if AC + cat power will do great on huge stages, cheaper to follow them around elsewhere i think...

flogging molly is an incredible live show. didn't cat power cancel her upcoming shows? i'm pretty sure she dropped out of bonnaroo

Yeah Chan cancelled her shows. Apparantly the shows were going to be pretty big and she was supposed to play with the guys that she recorded with from Stax Records. She's kind of notorious for kind of flipping out on stage and saying stuff like "This sounds so horrible" and stuff. I saw her on that Subterranean show and she didn't seem to confident about the tour (before the cancellations). I hope she gets well.

Slightly spur of the moment, I'm going to see Mogwai in Southampton on Thursday.

just coming off the Mogwai, Rhys Chatham wave of greatness.

Hoping to get down to bonnaroo (SY,Beck,Radiohead,Cat Power?,Devotchka,Stephen Malkmus,Dresden Dolls, Les claypool,Oysterhead,Seu Jorge.........)

Going to the Donaufestival as well, above all because of no-neck blues band and gang gang dance. maybe i'll be there on the day mogwai will be playing too.

Other:

April, 1st: Fennesz
April, 9th: Black Dice

symphony for a hundred guitars (hallucination city) on WEDNESDAY!

SUBHUMANS ON SUNDAY! SUB! VERT! SUB! VERT!

Lucky, Lucky man. Where are you seeing the Subhumans?

next concert
Black Dice - 10.April

hey, mr.gulasch
is fennesz playing in linz, too?
do you have any info?

ah, never mind
looked up the tour dates on the site
no linz gig (how surprising, haha);

Not the coolest admission ever, but I'm going to see Sugababes next week.

Went to see a local trad jazz band, The Tony Davis Band, again on Sunday. They play once a month at Fort Perch Rock, a Napoleonic era building that's now a museum and home to it's owner, Doug Darroch, a good friend and very nice chap indeed. This month's date was touched with sadness however, as Doug had fallen one night and died the next day. So the fort was closed to visitors except the jazz regulars, and we had a special tribute show for him.

10.april ::::: black dice
3-5 may::::: donaufestival (wolf eyes, gang gang dance,...)
28.may ::::: dinosaur jr.

I only have one planned so far and that's Low on April 4th. Looking very foward to that.

Sugababes! haha!

It's my girlfriend who's the pop fan, but I do have to confess to a bit of a fondness for disposable bubblegum pop. I go to concerts like this with her in return for her agreeing to occasionally come to less mainstream concerts with her. It's my way of educating her. So far I've gone with her to see Shania Twain, Atomic Kitten and Kylie, and they were all great, but I drew the line at Westlife. Still, I take it that no-one will want me to post a Sugababes report? Unless they do an SY cover, of course.

WOuldn't fancy going to any of the others you mention, but Sugababes are a different matter. I like them a lot. 'Angels with Dirty Faces' and 'Three' are very good albums.
