Gigs gigs gigs

[SRN]

Dillinger pulled out for the gigs here in Denmark. Red Fang still warmed up, though. I was so sad that I missed it because Red Fang are fucking awesome.

Just realised that Mastodon are being supported by Dillinger Escape Plan in their upcoming UK tour. BOOYAH!

It's been Red Fang, then DEP, then Mastodon headlining.

Personally I thought Red Fang was better than DEP.

I've seen DEP live before. I'm a big fan, so yeah, killing two birds with one stone.

Jeff Mangum, Magnetic Fields, Joanna Newsom, Boredoms, Sebadoh, Thurston Moore, Low, Yann Tiersen, The Magic Band, Olivia Tremor Control, Robyn Hitchcock, Half Japanese, Young Marble Giants, A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Mike Watt & George Hurley playing Minutemen (!), The Fall, The Raincoats, Apples In Stereo, and Elephant 6, amongst others.

On top of this lot, Earth and Mount Eerie are now playing, Yamantaka are playing, who sound pretty cool.

Also, the American Contemporary Music Ensemble will be performing Gavin Bryars' "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet", which I adore.

Can't wait!

This reminds me that Earth are visiting Denmark in the near future. I'd love to catch that. Mount Eerie are warming as well, along with Ô Paon; never heard of them though.

My friends are supporting the Kabeedies tonight in Ipswich. It's a free gig, which I'm pretty excited for since I spent a total of something like £12 to see 'em last year in Norwich. Kabeedies that is, not my friends.

Tool Sat night was awesome

[tristy]

Did they perform the same setlist that they've been playing since 10,000 Days came out?

[METALMAN]

Going to see Dillinger Escape Plan on Tuesday night I think. I don't even know them that well. Just a couple of friends asked me along who said they're really good live.

april 1st I am going to see Odd Future.

And the day after, April 2nd, I'm going to see Cher Lloyd!

[Liam]

You'll hate DEP live.

EDIT: Looks like you are going to the Mastodon gig in glasgow. Mastodon are awesome.

what mastodon are touring with dillinger? I love Mastodon! Amazing!

[Liam]

Well I'm assuming that's the tour you are seeing. Otherwise, DEP are playing Glasgow twice in one day >_>

[METALMAN]

I didn't know this! I was just asked "Do you wanna come to Dillinger?"

and I was like "yeah ok."

[Liam]

yeah, some other band called Red Fang as well. You definitely going?

[METALMAN]

yup!

[Liam]

WOWZA

[METALMAN]

OMFG

I haven't been to a show since Kimya Dawson and Your Heart Breaks came to DC in like...sometime when it was cold. I just found out that Kimya Dawson and Your Heart Breaks are coming to Baltimore next month on a different tour! I need to go to more shows!

Also, another punk house closed down in Baltimore today. Not sure what the story is...not really sure if the people living there were legally living there...

On the train home from PostFest in Århus, a three day music festival celebrating post-rock (although I only attended two). But man, this festival came fifteen years too late. It really hit home for me that post-rock as a genre is well and truly dead. Most of the bands were boring copies of first save bands and the good ones didn't even play post-rock. Everyone should go check out Talons, though. Amazing young band.

Checking out the Punch Brothers in April. Standing-room-only venue featuring a band that doesn't necessarily coax a lot of movement from their fans. Eh, I'll just be happy if Noam Pikelny plays "Cluck Old Hen".

[MalaCloudy Black]

OMFG

How were Red Fang? I've heard a few of their songs here and there and dug it, but I'm curious as to how they are live.
