Bands You're Seeing in 2014
 

So far

pUI (Jan 17)
Skinny Puppy (Feb 14)

Yesterday I went to three concerts that are part of the Royal Northern College of Music's The Art of Bach Festival. Pretty good.

Next month I'm going to see a flutist (flautist).

In terms of bands, I'm thinking of seeing Clutch in April, but, thus far, I'm not sure who I will be seeing this year.

Seeing the Pixies in 2 weeks.

Seen Trivium last year, but want to hear them out with their new album/sound. Killswitch is always a must go for me when they come around.

Lamb of God and DevilDriver are on my hit list

Shad (January 31)
Childish Gambino (March 22)

I have tickets for "The Pixies" without Kim on Feb 6th
Also have Arcade Fire tickets for April

I'm probably going to see Bass Drum of Death, Brainstems Black Angels, Russian Circles, Those Darlins, Diarrhea Planet, and Com Truise in the next month. Should be a good time for ROCK N ROLL...

Megadeth, Rob Zombie, Newsted, Richie Sambora, Alice In Chains, Mastodon, Pennywise, Alter Bridge, Testament, Living Colour, Stone Temple Pilots, Neil Finn

Jason Isbell
Holly Williams

Will edit as time goes by, if I remember.

Hoping to catch a Dave Matthews show in June.

Dave Matthews Band are pretty bad ass live. I had the chance to see them either in 2010 or 2011.

Probably none.

The Pixies were awesome. Great show.

got my 3 day pass to pitchfork today. so i'll get to see...whoever ends up being announced. but i've never been to a bad day there so it's all good. never done all 3 before.

Seeing Brand New in July

8 million billion bands

Few around this year I actually wanna see.

Ryuichi Sakamoto
Manchester orchestra
Anamanaguchi
Jefferson starship :'(
Prince, if the tickets are cheap.

Brand New
Alice in Chains

Those are for sure


Hoping Devil You Know comes through Indy.

Once I get my time machine working I'm gonna go see The Beatles

I'm seeing Madball numerous times this month.

Maybe gonna see Broken Bells in a couple of weeks if I can get tickets. Same for Foster the People.

Megadeth cancelled - fuck Dave Muscatine.


But on the upside I just got tickets for Queens Of The Stone Age and Nine Inch Nails

Saw Eminem live last night, absolutely incredible seeing him perform live.

My girl and I wanted to see them. Then I heard their new album,really without Kim Deal it isn't the Pixies.

Back in 98 or 99 saw Starship open for Kansas at the country fair. Starship was horrible. No idea if this is true,but someone told me only the keyboard player was an original member. Kansas was ok.

How did you like Steel Panther?

I saw them on Monday.

It was pretty fuckin' great.

Don't fall into the trap. A band like the Pixies don't(and they didn't) play new material; most shows are a celebration of near 30 years of music. A replacement may hinder newer material, but for a veteran outfit it does t matter because they play their standards live and that's exactly what stand-ins/replacements excel at.

I always like to use Metallica as an example. Since Newstead(or even Clif Burton for old school curmudgeons) moved on Metallica's material has been awful, and that's being generous. Rob Trujillo just doesn't work seemingly. But after seeing them live, the band knows better. St. Anger, Death Magnetic, Load and most of Re-Load are ignored due to the fact that fans don't like them and they are artistically and creatively inferior. They play what the fans want and Trujillo doesn't fuck it up. For another example look at RHCP.

Probably gonna check out Bayside again later this month.

Really want to go see AFI but I don't want to have to thru Linkin Park and/or 30 Seconds to Mars

Failed to snag Modest Mouse tix for the umpteenth time. Fack

I despise most music festivals but after seeing this line-up I'm about 96% certain I'm going here in June: http://www.pnrockfest2.com/en

gonna go to this May Bank Holiday. Couldn't care less about any of the bands other than Caliban but it's a fun excuse to wander around town to a bunch of different venues all day whilst on the piss. Maybe they'll add somebody else alright between now and then, Cancer Bats got added like 3 weeks before last years, :heart: Cancer Bats so who knows

Saw steel panther. Dunno if csl saw them in Wolverhampton but if so the band say we totally shat over you as a crowd, and I've never known a band to blow smoke up an audiences arse.

Srsly though, was fun. We went spontaneously and managed to buy the tickets that sold out the gig. I am a champ.

looks like sunday has most of what i'm familiar with/like. need to start checking out a lot of those other bands to see if they're worth catching. friday looks like a real stinker overall, unfortunately. but who knows. i'm sure i'll get caught up in it.

I saw the Dum Dum Girls when I was in Copenhagen and I didn't really think much of them as a live band, though I think the bassist was ridiculously attractive. They are playing in Manchester in May and I have been considering whether to give them another try.

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott.
