In every budget, you have to make room for something recreational. Rock and roll is that for Rebecca and I. And boy howdy, we have quite the calendar of events lining up for us.
South is going to be exciting. I recently heard that they had some sort of song on The O.C. some time ago, so this puts the potential turnout at the show even greater. I still have hopes that it’ll be a good show. April 20th at the Red Room on Richards.
Mates of State are coming to town on April 21st, and I picked up tickets for that last week. The Plaza Club should be an interesting place to check them out, being the last place I saw them was at Gabes back in Iowa City. Tony Pierce had an article about them on Buzznet. They will also be making an appearance at Cochella, and I’d like to be there as well. Turns out there is more to Pierce than just a crazy blogger, or at least I was impressed.
Scored tickets to Snow Patrol on June 14th at the Commodore Ballroom. It was an early bird special that we jumped on, but it’s exciting to be seeing another show there, the first and last one that I caught being Matthew Good.
Lots of rock goodness going on in this city, and this isn’t nearly half of it. I just don’t have enough time to blog about it all right now, but the point is that we have tickets to check out these shows!
Jeez. Major envy waves emmanating from Pittsburgh.
I hope Snow Patrol plays “Post-Punk Progression.” Their albums are pretty good but they rip it up live.
And Mates of State got profiles on MTVU and maybe MTV proper so the crowd could be huge and teeny-boppery.
God, I’d love to see South.
Lucky bastard.
Yes, well, obviously that should read “profiled” but, anyway. Mountain Goats at Richard’s on Richards June 8, $15. You know, if you want me to literally die with envy since your marvelous city of glass, hobos and raccoons only pushed me to the edge of stable, but critical envy.
