That is indeed a thing these Spotifucked days. The other day I got an email from Flock Of Dimes (Jenn Wasner) requesting spaces/hosts for shows to an audience of 40-50 people. Just to name two more artists I follow, Tommy Stinson and Diane Cluck have been doing the same. I imagine there are countless others, and attending such concerts must be great - no whooers! But I also wish these cats didn't have to resort to guerilla-shows warfare to make a flock of dimes. ;) (Of course, Bill Maher would say "you're not owed a living as a musician. This is show business. This is the make-or-miss league." FUCK YOU BILL MAHER.) |
Public Image Limited in Strasbourg
The Warlocks (Equipe de Foot opening) in Cognac Dream Wife (home) Quite a few train trips to do for this |
I'm going to see The Obsessed tonight, The Make-Up on Thursday and Marcia Bassett on Sunday
|
Friday:
Bettie Serveert 30 Years Celebration of Palomine ! |
Quote:
Mighty excellent! :) |
The Obsessed were superb, The Make Up was fun, and Marcia Bassett was a little disappointing. I'm not a massive fan of her buchla stuff (or solo analogue synth stuff generally) and that was what she was doing that night. Ignatz opened and I'd never an him before and i enjoyed his set a lot.

I saw Bridget St John tonight, it was amazing when she sang her older stuff but the newer stuff I'm not so hot on.
|
Quote:
Excellent. :) Artists like her never make it to this s-hole full of bad hombres... |
I’ve seen her a couple times, agree with T&B.
Seeing Goblin doing a live score to “Demons” tonight, followed by a rock set. It’ll be my 6th time seeing them, 4th movie soundtrack. Should be a good time. |
King Buffalo tonight, don't really know them but I got invited
FACS tomorrow I hope I'll survive, my ass and ribs and knee still hurt The Jesus & Mary Chain are one of the first announcements for next year's Roadburn festival, so I will very likely go Also Khanate will play their first show in 19 years (!), features one of the SUN 0))) guys |
I saw Brian Jonestown Massacre and that Anton guy really is such a big douchebag. Wow. Anyway they were good.

DIG! :D |

lol my friend Dannica has been chatting about this latest one on social media - it's been known for a while that his empathy is somewhat lacking. Agreed, though, they're here in a few weeks and if I had a job I'd be looking forward to it. Related, I'm running up and down High St today for a free music festival at multiple venues. |
Quote:
Frankly I wouldn’t see them again. That’s how big of a dickhead he was. But they’re my girlfriend’s favorite band, so yeah we did that. High Street where? |
Quote:
And High Street in Melbourne, Australia; there was a celebration of the 86 tram line and all of the music venues across it. Of the ones I saw: *Our Carlson at Rowdy's Records *Andrew Tuttle at the Northcote Uniting Church *Pretty In Pink at 3 Ravens Brewery *Doug Martsch (that one) at the Thornbury Theatre *the Native Cats and Katie Dey at Wesley Anne |
Wolf Eyes this Sunday. First thing seeing them since before covid (and about the 25th time overall). Should be good just wish it was another night of the week
|
had to bail out of the FACS gig at the last moment unfortunately. Earlier in the evening my downstairs neighbors discovered that I had a water leakage. So instead of going to the FACS gig, I paid a plumber 420 Euros to have it fixed on a Saturday evening.

Advice for how to find some underground gigs?
|
Quote:
or on instagram/facebook etc, which I actually don't but it might help also, subscribe to the newsletters of local venues perhaps there's some folks on your uni/school that organise concerts? |

I really want to go but can’t make it. I’m seeing Bush Tetras on Friday. |
Quote:
i just don't wanna go out in the streets anymore |
Quote:
Can't blame ya. Too many creeps! |
Have talked my parents into paying for a Mogwai ticket for my birthday next year (the show is on the 19th of February, my birthday is the 27th)
|
Quote:
That's a shame, but enjoy Bush Tetras. I found out yesterday that Mark Morgan formerly of Sightings has a new band called Rump State (with Gaute Granli, whose album from 2 or 3 years ago I liked a lot) and they played in London last week. I'm vexed that I missed it! |
|
Jenn and I have the busiest slate of shows in like 10 years, everyone had to play DC/Baltimore all at once
Mary Timony tour opener at Ottobar Sleater-Kinney at Anthem Unwound at 930 Club |
Slowdive in January in Zürich

Quote:
They were sensational here in July; not sure how the new songs come out live (they only played the lead single here and it went over my head) but even if you leave those ones aside it's a cracking show. |
William Basinski next week

Care for an appetizer? William Basinski - 2023-11-22 - The Sugar Club, Dublin, Ireland [Master] |
scored a free ticket for the Breeders on Monday night

Slowdive tonight, woop woop!

I have 3 shows lined up (Mary Timony, Sleater-Kinney and Unwound) starting Feb 28, then Kim schedules a show at the Black Cat the day before the Unwound show at the 9:30 Club (a late 10pm door as well) that bummed me out as probably will have to pass on it as it's very pricy and time consuming since it's quite a drive to and from DC (also Unwound is a cannot miss)
but now Kim is announced to be part of the Out and About Festival at Wolf Trap in June, 3rd billing behind Jenny Lewis and Brittney Howard, honestly this might be more feasible being broke and living far from DC make all the shows such a choice |

Try being broke and living 8036 kilometers (4993 miles) from DC. |

Where's this happening? I can't seem to find any information on the internet. Last time I saw them was at Limehouse Town Hall a few years ago. |
Ignore. Found out it's at Cafe Oto.
