saw glassjaw, sunny day real estate & the get up kids today

[mitchables]

fucking incredible, all three of them. also saw rxbandits, taking back sunday, motion city soundtrack, reel big fish, jimmy eat world, faith no more, afi, jane's addiction, and i had to review him and enter shikari, who were both pus. had to review gj, tbs, afi and the bandits too but at least they were either bands i wanted to see or had been a fan of at some point or another.

anyway, never thought i'd see the three bands i listed in the title, so they were worth admission alone. sunny day was too tremendous for words.

[Impact!]

Someone went to Soundwave.

[mitchables]

obviously.

[thenoiboi]

jealous. i had a ticket for gj's show in l.a. a couple years ago and couldn't make it. had no money when they came through last year. same for sdre.

i do get to see them folks, along with faith no more, at coachella though, so that's some consolation.

how was the gj set?

[The Destroyer]

I'm doomed to never see Glassjaw. Canceled on me several times. :(

Wouldn't mind seeing Sunny Day Real Estate either. You're a jammy bastard Mitch.

they were awesome. only had one guitarist but they pulled it off seamlessly. had the original bass player too, such a smooth motherfucker. to top it off they played two tabs of mescaline, which i wasn't expecting <3

welcome to the forums :)

[El Fangel]

My Fiancee likes GJ, what type of music do they play?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hate you so much right now Mitch. Not just the 3 bands in the title bu 70% of the others listed too. Dammit.

[FakeLaser]

Seen Glassjaw mad times, incredible

Saw Sunny Day Real Estate sort of, when they were The Fire Theft.

Saw The Get Up Kids acoustic set and then met the band after. They were all assholes except Reggie

Seen TBS like 92374893274 times and Motion City once at Skate and Surf 2003

My Fiancee likes GJ, what type of music do they play?

early 2000s post-hardcore. discordant guitars, rolling basslines, loud/soft extremes coupled with daryl palumbo's smooth croons juxtaposed against rank wails.

youtube 'ry ry's song', 'tip your bartender' or 'cosmopolitan bloodloss' for cases in point

[Indifferent Clox]

I will probably go to big bear festival or whatever it is called in Knoxville, it has Joanna newsom, dj rupture, the clogs (feutiring sufan stevens bon iver and the national) the national, vampire weekend... a whole lot of really good other stuff to.

I also want to go to bonnaroo to see LCD soundstystem or just wait till pitchfork fest which ahs modest mouse pavement and lcd soundsystem

[FakeLaser]

I will always have a homosexual crush on Darryl Palumbo

[Downunder]

You saw Faith No More and you are dribbling on about those other bands. :nono:

[mitchables]

faith no more were amazing too; mike patton rocks my socks. but glassjaw, the get ups and sunny day all meant more on a personal level.

[Impact!]

Did you see the Gallows?

[mitchables]

did i mention that i'd seen "the" gallows?

[Impact!]

I'll take that as a no then.

[The Destroyer]

Good shout Mitch, you weren't missing much.

[mitchables]

no, i didn't see gallows. one of the other writers saw them though and said they were really disappointing. total lack of energy on stage apparently.

Pretty much the best punk band in the world right now

and just bugger all energy on stage

2:00am Mitch

sad stuff

2:00am Matthew

while Frank Carter couldn't actually replicate the vocals he laid down for the album

I did see the biggest circle pit I've ever seen, though

even if fucking hardcore losers didn't have the energy to sustain it for longer than half a song

[deathtrap]

I've missed Glassjaw twice this year so I'm gutted bout that but I saw them 2 years ago I think it was. Saw FNM last year too they were great

[thenoiboi]

to top it off they played two tabs of mescaline, which i wasn't expecting <3

welcome to the forums :)

majorly jealous. they didn't happen to play when one eight becomes two zeros, did they?

also, thanks for the welcome.

[MVP]

Ridiculous lineup there. Never thought Glassjaw, Sunny Day Real Estate, or The Get Up Kids would ever be featured on the same ticket again.

[Taft]

What is this 2005?


Awesome card no less.

[Danny Electric]

SDRE are playing London in June , supported by Saves The Day. Really want to go.

I just missed Brand New, Thrice and Glassjaw too :(
