What Show Did You Just See?

Just saw the "Peter Murphy Celebrates 35 Years of Bauhaus" show.  Really great show, and very nice selection of Bauhaus songs.

Saw Clutch with the Sword last night at the State Theater in ME.  Whoa, what a show!  Mosh pits every where.   Great venue, great band and the Sword blew me away!

The Sword blew me away too! I'm mad at everyone who knew about them and didn't tell me how great they are

I'm curious how the Electric Factory will handle the pits since they have a strict no moshing rule there.... gonna be tough to enforce with this crowd!

Fiddle - The Sword is one of the main reasons I'm going to the Philly show too, they got some solid albums.  Also got a good local opener starting the show called Kingsnake, a Clutch sound with Lemmy on vocals.  Plus Lionize is worth seeing again too, those guys are tight.

Beale Street Music(Mud)Fest:

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Alice in Chains (for old time's sake)
Black Keys
The Roots
Deer Tick
Al Kapone
Phoenix
Gary Clark Jr.
The Black Crowes

Favorites were The Roots & Phoenix. The Roots were AMAZING! Al Kapone was a lot of fun also. Gary Clark was tough to get through the mud for a good view but he killed it even from a distance. Black Crowes are one of my favorites but they weren't really on fire. I really wished I had checked out the Flaming Lips instead.

I'm surprised at myself by saying that Phoenix live was one of the best shows I've seen in a while. I've only recently listened to some of their tunes.

I understand Metallica hand picked them to open the last tour, they are great!!!

Steel Panther last night in Toronto.

It was more vulgar than a Calamity Jane-centric episode of Deadwood and had better tunes than all the real '80s hair metal bands they parody.

A guy I work with went to their show in Nashville a couple of weeks ago. He was telling me about it. It sounds like a blast.

Worst best guitar solos ever!

I went to see Deniz Tek of Radio Birdman/New Race fame last night here in Hamilton, Ontario and it was pretty amazing.

If you don't know Radio Birdman, they were essentially the first Australian punk band. I guess you could argue that point between them and The Saints, but I'll stick with RB. Deniz is an emergency room surgeon by trade these days (!) and tours for his holidays. His current band is him with 2 brothers on bass and drums. They did a bunch of Radio Birdman classics as well as song off his new solo album. All were excellent.

If you've never heard of Radio Birdman, here are a few youtube links to some of their more well know tunes

Just saw Sharon Van Etten, Lee Fields, father John Misty, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Flaming Lips, and Matt & Kim at Great Googa Mooga festival.

Here's my little review from my tumblr:

Googa Mooga was a lot of fun, sad that today is cancelled.  I got to groove out to Lee Fields, See a very interesting stage show from the Flaming Lips and see my Rock 'n' Roll love forever, Karen O totally rock Prospect Park. I finally "Got" Father John Misty, and saw an over-the-top fun set from Matt & Kim and an italian version of "No Sleep Till Brooklyn"

Oh and of course I got to see one of my favorite touring acts, Sharon Van Etten and her band. They were great and if you're a Sharon fan (YOU SHOULD BE) and are curious about the setlist, she played all of Tramp except for "We Are Fine" and "Joke Or Lie" and added "Save Yourself" and "Don't Do It" and soldiered on through the set through rain and multiple wardrobe malfunctions, being over caffeinated, and poor Doug dropping his bass at the end. (And not in the super-cool Skrillexy-also-happening-in-NewYork-this-weekend-ElectricDaisyCarnival way).

It was a great time with great friends and great music! And of course, great food. I mean, right now i'm eating BOURBON BACON BBQ CARMEL POPCORN like, what that's awesome.

Saw the Futurebirds last night and they put on a phenomenal show even though there were MAYBE 30 people there at most?  I think if OSU students were still in town they might have had a bit better turnout.  But I'm not complaining as it was quite the intimate show!   

Diarrhea Planet was the opener and I would say they are a band worth checking out!  They had 4 guitar players and they could ALL shred!  Very 70's rock vibe with them!  They were YOUNG too as their lead singer looked like he just got his learner's permit... 

Met some of the band members after the show and chatted with Daniel for quite a while!  He's a real cool dude and could not have been friendlier.  We mainly talked about how this was their first real foray into the Midwest as well as their first time playing Columbus and he has been pretty happy with the fan support so far.  Got to meet their dog Dakota as well.  Great pup!

Sounds like Diarrhea Planet has improved since I saw them a couple of years ago. They play Nashville quite a lot and back then they lived up to their name.

I saw Clutch with Kingsnake, Lionize, and The Sword opening at the Electric Factory in Philly.  I will not go back to that venue if given the choice of seeing a band in a different town.  The sound was terrible!!  We stood in the 2nd level behind the sound board, should have been a sweet spot for sound, but it was muddy throughout the show.  There was nothing the sound guys could do to clean it up, the acoustics in that room suck.  And I know it wasn't the sound guys since I just saw Clutch in Bmore and the sound was great.  The bands played well, it makes me want to see The Sword at another venue.  Their kickdrum was too high and the vocals were drowned out.  I wish the Philly traffic wasn't so bad, I only caught 3 songs from the local opener Kingsnake. 

To sum it up... Unless the Electric Factory is your only resort go somewhere else!!!   

[bluesky]

thanks for posting. one of my all time favorite songs! who's the little boy? he could totally rock out on the rail at MMJ

Nawang Khechog was mesmerizing. I could listen to him play (and speak) for hours.

Great stuff!  Happy birthday again man.  I get 'em tonight at a smaller club/bar in Philly that I've never been to but heard good things about.  Should be cool.

Hey Rob, how was the Philly show?  Heard they had to cancel their show in RI last night because their van broke down.  That would have sucked...

It was a great time ILB!  The opportunity to see them one last time in a very small venue was worth the trip and the hefty tab I ran up on divey prices.  The venue was a slightly renovated and reopened former jazz club.  As such, the layout was not in the slightest bit ideal for a rock band.  The club was VERY narrow and goes far back so that there is room for maybe a row of people standing in front of the stage.  Essentially the band played in front of a sit down crowd against the far wall opposite the stage (6 ft away) and the rest of the crowd sat or stood well off to the sides.  I believe total capacity was 110-120.

Had a good time hanging with some of the band that included some pics that'll never see the light of day.  I told Tom of my love for Dig and said they haven't played it yet because it hasn't been practiced with their new drummer.  I also asked them about the possibility of playing Bradford's songs in the future and he said that was a distinct possibility.  This was great news because Aquarium Floor might be the one song I haven't heard yet off Hampton's or the s/t EP

It did suck. I am just happy I caught them in March when i was down in NC or I woulda been seriously bummed...I tried to reach them on twitter to see if they were gonna reschedule the date, no response as of yet which makes it seem unlikely at this point. Sucks too bc i was going w/ 3 friends 2 of whom were just getting into them, 1 is a fan and hadn't had a chance to catch them yet. Oh well.

I did catch Dead Confederate in Providence on Saturday. They were great, shattered my expectations. The new drummer is great. They mostly played new album which I'm loving right now
