Cymbal Monkey posted:RIP Nukespoon. Balmorhea have been in my library for a while, I really love All Is Wild, All Is Silent especially (Settler is incredible). They have a new album out soon, they're previewing some tracks all over the place. One of the members runs their webstore and he is a really cool guy. First CD I ordered from them had a handwritten thank you slipped in the case, and when my vinyl orders went MIA he replaced them free of charge with some extra stuff and another note.

Has anyone here heard of The Evpatoria Report? My friend just linked me to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7s4-GcCitA and it's got everything I love about the likes of This Will Destroy You. I haven't listened past this song yet but I think I am going to. \/\/\/ Oh  It said 2002-present on Wikipedia, that's a drat shame

Awesome to see they're doing Ashes in the Snow too, but I think my ideal setlist from Mono would involve COM(?), The Flames Beyond The Cold Mountain and Yearning.

God drat the climax in Yearning is amazing. I love how into it Taka gets, when I saw them there was one stage where his guitar was on the ground and he was just crouched over it going hog wild, was incredible to watch.

It's almost like he's got some kind of demon inside of him that he can only get out by inhumanly shredding during live performances. What a goddamn stage presence he has! Yeah, for real. Dude sits down for 80% of the show and still has more presence than any other musician I've seen live.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:That's why it's hard for me to decide on a favorite post-rock live act. It's between Mono and Caspian for sure, but they're different so I can't really pick one over the other. I have never even listened to Caspian, that is a thing which I should do I think the most intense live act I've seen besides Mono was probably *shels. They didn't have much room for moving around (because it was a tiny venue with like 7 band members or something), but you can really tell they're loving what they're playing.

I had forgotten about this since hearing about it a while back, but the collaboration between Jeff Boyle / Hamish Walker from Jakob / Kerretta (two of the finest bands to hail from NZ in my opinion), called MEAN, has now released two songs which are streaming here and I really dig the sound. Also, listening to that Caspian album: it had some really good parts, but for a lot of it I was just kind of sat there wondering how long it had to go so I could listen to other stuff v  v

I don't listen to Valtari as much anymore, but I am constantly going back to Dauđalogn and the title track. The choir in Dauđalogn is incredible.

I took my dad to a Mono show and he still regards it as one of the best things he's ever seen. The DVD isn't the best quality but it definitely showcases them at their peak.

Mean got its full release today, and it is brilliant. A bit heavier than most post rock but god drat this will more than do me until the next Jakob album comes out.

I am in the same boat, I never really liked *everything* they put out. Agaetis byrjun and Valtari are my favourites, so try Valtari. I also like the odd song off their other albums (Popplagiđ and Samskeyti are the two that come to mind straight away). Dunno about the new release, Brennisteinn is interesting though.

All my favourite concerts have been little post-rock ones without fancy stages or anything. Namely Mono, This Will Destroy You and *shels. I love the big extravagant ones too (I've seen The Wall, Muse, Coldplay, Tool, Rammsteinn, etc) but screens and fire can only do so much for me.precision posted:e: What I'm saying is, gently caress seeing any "big" band in TN because you would not believe how many redneck assholes get in free because of college promos or knowing people who work at the venue and poo poo and who have no respect or regard for anything as a result. One gig I went to (Angus Stone) was only $35 so there were lots of people at the bar who weren't really there for the music. He actually had to tell people to shut up after the second or third song

I just realised I left Godspeed off my list. Godspeed were loving awesome. \/\/\/ I don't think I've ever actually met a professional musician. I should really try staying behind for a while, I would've loved to chat with the guys from This Will Destroy You. I really should've stayed behind for *shels, I (kinda) travelled halfway around the world to see them

I've seen Laura live, and don't remember them being 'all that'. I saw sleepmakeswaves open for Karnivool (I think) and they were OK but kind of miss the mark for me. Why can't I like the local stuff Hopefully Jakob get back over here now that their drummer's recovered. e: Dumbsaint are pretty decent actually, I've seen these guys too and enjoyed it enough to buy their CD. strap on revenge fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Apr 24, 2013 |

TG-Chrono posted:The only bands that I can think of off the top of my head isn't reaaallly post-rock but eh, My Disco is kind of angular and mathy. And Eleventh He Reaches London is more drawn out indie-core with some post-rock elements or whatever, I just think that maybe people will like them because I've liked a lot of the stuff posted here and I want to contribute with some lesser known Australian bands. Nikko do some post rock-ish sort of stuff too. They have vocals in a lot of their songs and I don't really listen to them enough to know all the track titles and stuff. I think the instrumental stuff they do is OK but it's kinda "safe".

Black Emperor and This Will Destroy You toured Australia for the first time this year, Mono come every time they tour, EITS come around every now and again. I live in Brisbane and have been to a good number of post rock shows, there's some good local acts too (Laura, sleepmakeswaves, Dumbsaint).
