Gigs gigs gigs

saw McLusky earlier this week, supporter by JOHN. As excellent as ever.

Last night we saw Sparks at the Roundhouse - we watched the Edgar Wright movie last week, I was curious if they were touring soon, turned out they were playing London that week. Tickets were mostly going for extortionate amounts (close to £200), but I set up some alerts and kept checking back, set myself a limit of £70 as the absolute maximum I'd be prepared. Two days before the show, some face value tickets came up.

Absolutely brilliant, there's no other word for it. One of the best gigs I've seen in years, perhaps ever. What an incredible band they are. Just couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear the whole show.

McLusky would be a fun show. I haven't listened to them in a bit but I'd imagine they're great live. Actually, so would Sparks. I don't know if they still hit Detroit ever or not. 

My wife procured tickets to see Bauhaus, which I guess is the original lineup on tour. They're a band I've grown to like a lot as I get older. Should be a cool experience.

I didn't even know McLusky were still active. Jealous.

they reformed a few years back for a charity gig, and then this was the 20th anniversary of the Do Dallas album, I don't know how much else they've been properly active aside from that.

[Colly]

They're about to start a US tour where they're bizarrely playing seemingly everywhere but Dallas.

My son is really into Imagine Dragons. I check out their ticket prices here. 150$ for the nosebleeds. 

Prices have plummeted the week of the show. 70$. Getting tempted to buy...

I just listened to McLusky. Hot damn are they good.

Don't forget to drop down the Future of the Left rabbit hole when you're done.

If you follow any of the similar artists on Spotify for McLusky you'll be in good shape. 

WITH MY LIGHTSABER COCKSUCKIMH BLUES.

I'm going to Imagine Dragons tomorrow.

Saw Tool last night. Was predictably excellent. Brass Against were a very good support too.

Got tickets for Billy Bragg in October, which is a bucket list show for me so that's cool. 

Did see McClusky is coming to Detroit but on a Wednesday night which is never ideal.

Saw Paul McCartney tonight. Was fun. I guess he's not done "You Never Give Me Your Money" on a solo tour before but he did the back half of it tonight. Also "Live and Let Die" had fucking Kane pyro. No "Temporary Secretary" though

Was next to a guy who showed up late and quite drunk. At one point Paul went into "Blackbird" and in a quiet moment he shouted "BLACKBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRD" as if he was calling for someone to play "Free Bird" or something. Amazing.

Next concert I should be going to is Hatchie on May 21st. Looking forward to it!

While I was in Atlanta two week back, I was lucky enough to go see Mono in a tiny venue with about 80 other people. Truly amazing live.

Might try and see the Cavalera bros while they tour on the Beneath Arise tour. That could be a pretty fun show, it's Iggor & Max Cavalera playing mostly songs from the Beneath the Remains and Arise Sepultura albums with some encores from the Chaos AD album.

My Chemical Romance were out of this world good.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Following up Saturday's incredible My Chemical Romance gig with a double header of Alice Cooper and The Cult tonight. Creeper supporting too, who are great, but I don't know if I'll make it in time.

Then MCR again on Saturday woop woop.

[Bobfoc]

Alice Cooper and The Cult seem like a very good pair of bands to see.
