CancerStick posted:I've recently been digging The National pretty hard the past month or so. I just saw they are going to be in Cincinnati, Ohio next month and thats about 35 minutes from me. Must see? Underwhelming live? Any insight appreciated before I pull the trigger. The National is not performing at that festival, but they did last year. Bryce Dessner is curating it/will be performing in collaboration with Nico Muhly and Sufjan Stevens.

Apparently Metric held an online scavenger hunt for clues to unlocking a stream of their new album. Somehow the internet figured it all out just by guessing. Anyway, here's the link where you can stream their new album Synthetica, if anyone's interested: http://soundcloud.com/metric-band/sets/synthetica-1/s-HVnCN interpunct fucked around with this message at 04:53 on May 30, 2012 |

The new Dirty Projectors album, Swing Lo Magellan is officially released tomorrow in the US, but it's been available for streaming online for the past week or so. I've only given the new album a cursory listen but I really enjoy it. I found my experience listening to this album for the first time less jarring than when I first listened to Bitte Orca (which I love, but it took me a few days of listening to it before it clicked with me). I'll be seeing them tonight and tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to how the new material will sound live. To those interested, at 10 p.m. Eastern there will be a live stream of tonight's album release show in Brooklyn at: http://www.youtube.com/bowerypresents

Rageaholic Monkey posted:The audience kind of sucked though. I got a lovely spot in the back. I could see just fine, but lots of people around me were either talking over the music, looking down at their phones the entire time, only cheering when Penelope was played, etc. I don't get why some people go to shows if they're not into the music, and that seemed to apply to like half the audience tonight Well, to be fair, that pretty much sums up every general admission live concert experience.

ThatsMyBoye posted:Re Chvrches shows: I saw them at Webster Hall back in June, and while they weren't, like, excellent (I don't think Lauren's voice plays all that well live), the music was still a bunch of fun even if more than half the tracks they played were unheard at that point. But after the show ended and they had played their Prince cover as the encore, there were small circles of people actually breaking out DANCING waiting to file out of the auditorium. The energy they put into everyone was just nuts. FYI, Chvrches is playing the much smaller Studio at Webster Hall this Friday and tickets are, inexplicably, still available.

Nobody Interesting posted:I got to see her in London last Thursday. If you're still not sure whether or not you should be buying tickets for when she's near you, stop what you're doing and buy those drat tickets. You're in for a good show. I saw St. Vincent last night and attended that event where David Byrne performed "Just a Friend" the night before. St. Vincent's theatrics definitely appeared to be Byrne-influenced and it all seemed to loosely reflect to the whole Digital Witness moniker of the tour. For those one the fence about catching these live shows, I second the recommendation for checking it out. David Byrne covering Biz Markie wasn't just a completely random thing, though. The event where it happened was held to create awareness of how royalties for songs played on terrestrial radio don't go to the song performers or session musicians; only the songwriters. All the songs performed that night were songs that were popularized by artists whose songs don't generate royalties for them when played on the radio, like "Wild Thing" and "Hanging on the Telephone." interpunct fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Feb 27, 2014 |

I've caught them twice in NYC in smaller venues than they seem to be playing this tour. They're very lively and the lead singer can have some pretty charming stage banter, but I'm not sure if it would translate well to a larger space. The music is great and fun to dance to, though, so I hope you have a blast.

Oliver Reed posted:The Burst Apart songs really came to life for me when I saw them live. I think it also helped that they've been touring with another musician on guitar/bass since they released Burst Apart. I wonder if they'll be performing as a three piece again now that their unofficial fourth member is currently busy on Broadway in that musical with Neil Patrick Harris.

Did anyone else have a nearby record store that hid a free promo copy of The Antlers - Familiars? I'm looking forward to giving it a listen (haven't listened to any leaks or advance streams), but I won't get back home until late tonight.

Rollofthedice posted:Familiars by The Antlers is giving me the shivers. Holy gently caress is it an incredible album, and right in my goddamn wheelhouse. Last year it was Love's Crushing Diamond by Mutual Benefit, and now it's this. I'm so loving glad music like this exists. I just saw them perform Familiars in full tonight. It was pretty incredible to hear live. They used a fourth member on the synthesizer and trumpet with Darby also joining in on trumpet at times. There was no second guitar or bass, so this tour may focus a lot on the new material.

cheese eats mouse posted:Hmm I'm a big fan so I'm leaning on going. Also she's joining the Black Keys for their world tour (lol black keys) and I don't know when she'll be touring solo again. :| St. Vincent's live show this tour is very regimented; there's choreography involved and the setlist doesn't seem to vary much from show to show. I'm pretty sure the random banter is always the same ("Your favorite word is 'orgiastic'"), too. The music itself is, in my opinion, pretty great, though. Whether it's worth a 3.5 hour drive is up to you.

jiffypop45 posted:I'm going to see Sharon Van Etten in concert next Friday in Dallas. I really liked her new album, and bought the tickets solely based off of that. Listened to her other stuff, and didn't like it nearly as much, since the tour corresponds to its release I'm hoping she plays stuff mostly from it. I personally prefer Sharon's earlier material, but that's mostly because I was first exposed to her as a solo act. Rest assured, however, that the set lists for this tour have mostly focused on material from Are We There. Enjoy the show!

abraham linksys posted:As usual when I see bands I like, I did end up sad that Savages didn't play one of my favorite songs (Fuckers), but it was made up for in how awesome the new songs they were trying out were. They finished their set with Fuckers when I saw their first two nights of the residency, but seem to have dropped it from the setlist sometime last week for some reason. But yeah, the new songs were great and I often found myself in complete awe of the bassist and/or the drummer at any given time. On an unrelated note, Courtney Barnett announced her first full length album and the video for the first single features her as the 2013 Clown of the Year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-nr1nNC3ds

I just saw Natalie Prass perform live tonight and despite not having any orchestral backing, she's still a magical Disney princess just like every publication insists she is. I'm joking, of course, but she was very good live and it was interesting to hear her songs re-interpreted for a four piece band.

I finally get to see Alvvays tonight after having listened to their debut album a ridiculous number of times.

Just got back from the San Fermin record release show. The band is so tight and energetic, especially the horn players. They ended the night with an encore of Buddy Holly (yes, the Weezer song), which was out of left field but fun to sing along with. I managed to get most of the band to sign my test pressing of Jackrabbit and even found a setlist randomly discarded on the venue floor. Catch them live if you can!

Saw Chvrches tonight and their new songs sounded great. My hype level for this new album is intensifying. They were really sweet, too, because after their soundcheck they met all the people who were waiting outside the venue early. There were Popsicles, photos with the band, and autographs in store for the dozen or so people who were in line.
