Other Music / Re: Shows that are coming up
Last post by Lucius - Jul 04, 2025, 05:35 PMVery last minute purchase but I'll be seeing The Black Keys for the first time next week! I was a fan from Brothers through to Turn Blue, but never got into any of their music before or beyond that. Until "No Rain, No Flowers" which I can't stop singing right now! That plus a set-list that looks like it leans much more towards the era of music where I was a fan sold me on getting tickets! Any fans here? How are they live?
8th Jul - The Black Keys (Leeds, Millenium Square)
23rd Jul - Pip Blom (Bristol, Strange Brew)
22nd Aug - The Maccabees (Manchester, O2 Victoria Warehouse)
29th Aug - Sharon Van Etten (Leeds, O2 Academy)
7th Nov - Perfume Genius (Manchester, New Century Hall)
25th Nov - English Teacher (London, Roundhouse)
26th Nov - Obongjayar (London, O2 Forum Kentish Town)
27th Nov - Nerina Pallot (Brighton, Komedia)
8th Dec - The Raveonettes (London, O2 Academy Islington)
And a couple for '26 booked already
1st Feb - White Lies (London, Roundhouse)
6th Mar - Franz Ferdinand (Birmingham, O2 Institute)

The Band / Megan Hamilton speaks with Pat...
Last post by CC - Jun 29, 2025, 09:56 AMMegan Hamilton (also longtime forum member) speaks with Patrick.
https://www.embracingenchantment.com/patrick-hallahan/?mc_cid=43788107a3
https://www.youtube.com/user/EmberCat
(00:00) Introduction to Patrick Hallahan and My Morning Jacket
(04:29) The Dynamics of Long-Term Band Relationships
(09:17) The Power of Music and Spirituality
(18:38) Profound Moments in Performance
(28:04) The Role of Art in Society
(37:20) Hope and Humanity Through Music
Some more background:
"Well hello there, If you've known me for a while, you probably know that my all-time favourite band is My Morning Jacket. You might also know that I had the great pleasure of opening for them in Toronto on their Z tour in 2005. This was because their touring opening, beloved Canadian musician Kathleen Edwards, was unable to play that particular show. Not only was this my first time playing a huge venue, it was my first time playing with a band. [Mark Vogelsang on drums and Shelby Lamb on guitar and back up vocals.] I can't prove it, though, because there are no pictures and no footage of my set. Isn't that wild?
What you might not know is that I have a podcast called Embracing Enchantment on the Women in Media network, where I explore different spiritual modalities in order to stay hopeful in this increasingly bonkers world.What you also might now know are the series of out-of-this-world synchronicities that led to my now 20+ year friendship with My Morning Jacket.
Ready for storytime?
The first time I saw My Morning Jacket was 21 years ago this past Monday at the Exit/In in Nashville.
The next time I saw them was the following year, several times in a row through a wild ride of synchronicities as my planned road trip with my best friend somehow lined up with their planned tour. The dates and cities they announced lining up eerily with our plans. I didn't realize until after it was planned that this release would fall on the anniversary of my first time seeing them. We also didn't plan that Patrick would choose the date to record this podcast episode within a day of having seen them at Bonnaroo 20 years ago, on that same road trip.
Synchronicity, again?
Their new album, "is", is a gorgeous exploration of time, love, intuition and yup, every day magic. It's filled with soft and wandering songs as well as their usual head bangers paying homage to David Bowie at times as well as referencing older albums like At Dawn and It Still Moves. [I mean, at least I think so.]
I was thrilled to hang out with Patrick Hallahan, the drummer of My Morning Jacket, about the band's journey, the dynamics of long-term relationships in music, and the spiritual essence of artistic expression. We talk about profound moments in performances, the role of music in fostering hope and humanity, and the importance of nurturing your inner child. He talks about love, empathy, and community in both music and life, emphasizing that art can serve as a powerful tool for connection and healing.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it with him."

The Shows / Re: Roll Call Fox Theatre Atla...
Last post by ericm - Jun 27, 2025, 11:14 AMQuote from: ranyart on Jun 26, 2025, 06:16 PMAnd now Nov 1 is the final Z 20th Anniversary show. How fun is that!?!?!?!?!?
But it also might be the last show for awhile since they dropped OBH for 2026. Enjoy what you can.
It's a great surprise and bonus to what was already going to be a fantastic weekend!
Can't imagine it gets much better than our guys at The Fox for Halloween night 1 and Z night 2!

The Shows / Re: Any info on OBH?
Last post by MyYinzerJacket - Jun 26, 2025, 02:14 PMQuote from: MMJTX on Jun 26, 2025, 12:23 PMWelp per the announcement there will be no OBH in 2026 but will return in 2027, no word on Mexico or elsewhere though.
Sounds like there will be a limited tour in 2026 though so that's good news!
I really appreciate their heads up on all of this; as the saying goes, 'clear is kind.' Selfishly, it also lines up nicely for what will be a very busy work year for me in 2026, where I'll be unable to attend OBH or travel to shows anyways.
Moral of the story: go see them this summer and/or fall if you can!!
