Not really sure where else to post this outside of making a thread specifically for it, but is anyone else seeing The Hold Steady on this tour? I'm pumped for the Cleveland show. First time I saw them I had only been listening to them for a week (it was a charity show that I was really going to for Titus Andronicus), and had only listened to Separation Sunday and Boys and Girls in America. Listening to Almost Killed Me right now and Stay Positive later.

I didn't quite finish it because a friend came over and then I had to go, but I would say that while I liked it, it's definitely my least favorite of their first four. I remember Sequestered in Memphis being great live though.

Just got back from the Hold Steady. Great show, of course. Played a couple of new songs which were pretty decent. Notably missing were Stevie Nix and Party Pit. Also only one song from Almost Killed Me. Here's what they played in Cleveland--if setlist.fm is to be believed, they're changing things up from night to night.

T Bowl posted:Ebbs and flows, also, children are what made emo/pop punk big, today would be no different. You are just older and less simple with your music taste. I don't know about Straylight Run, but i don't think a whole lot of children listened to Braid. I listen to far more emo now than I did as a teenager, because a lot of it is musically really good.

So I just bought a ticket to the Saturday of Pitchfork Fest, almost exclusively for Sleater-Kinney. I was actually supposed to cover it for a site, but I let another writer take it because I'm doing Lollapalooza and Riot Fest as well. I also don't know much about most of these bands, and was wondering if you goons could help me decide who I should prioritize/be excited about. For reference, I typically like hard-charging, guitar-driven music (I'm a metalhead first and foremost), but I have relatively varied taste. Just know that my taste in indie leans less jangly and more punchy. I also like hip-hop, and have almost no interest in anything synth-lead or electronic. Tell me about some of these bands. An asterisk marks ones I'm planning to check out for sure, while a question mark is a genuine "who is this and why should I care?" Future Islands A$AP Ferg The New Pornographers Ex Hex(?) Todd Terje and the Olsens Vince Staples* Kurt Vile Shamir(?) Parquet Courts* Mr. Twin Sister(?) Future Brown Protomartyr* Ariel Pink Bully* (I've actually seen them before) Jimmy Whispers(?)

It's really the best follow-up to The Monitor we'll probably ever get. And yeah, "I hope that dude's alright" is how I feel about Patrick Stickles all the time.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Initial impression of Titus Andronicus' The Most Lamentable Tragedy: It lacks a certain degree of desperation that The Monitor possessed and loses some of its impact. It's still pretty fun to listen to, though. Seems good overall and a lot better than Local Business. They will probably never top The Monitor and that's okay. I believe you mean "THAT'S. O. KAY!"

I literally learned about them last night and found out they're doing a show in my area in 2 days, so wondering if theyre worth a trip? They were far better than Cloud Nothings when I saw them open for them. I imagine it's a cheap show too.

bowser posted:I'm not going to adamantly defend the kind of dude that shouts "Marry me" at a concert but I will say its something I hear at all kinds of concerts, regardless of the gender of the artist. When I saw BadBadNotGood a guy in the crowd repeatedly made vocal his desire to fellate Leland Whitty. Some girl told Father John Misty to let her sit on his face. Someone tried that poo poo on Dustin Kensrue when I saw Thrice, even though he was in the middle of talking about the Invisible Children charity that he was raising money for. It didn't go over well.

I saw Titus Andronicus last night and while it was a lot of fun, they were waaaaaaay too quiet. I would blame the venue, but I saw Caspian there a couple of weeks ago with no such issue. Three guitars and all of them were quieter than the piano. New songs sound great, and the band is way tighter than it's ever been.

Also she's married to Andy Samberg so it's not like her household income is in danger. That being said, Spotify's pay rates are a joke and I'd rather hear complaining from her than from somebody like Prince who's truly rich as hell.

resident posted:While we are on the best of 2015 theme...what was everyone's favorite live show(s) of the year? Mine was Chance the Rapper at Bumbershoot and there wasn't a close second. It's really hard to believe he is only 22. He's already such an amazing showman and picked a great backing band to boot. My bar for good hip hop shows was high after seeing the roots a few years ago and he cleared it easily. All of these were in Chicago: Sleater-Kinney at Pitchfork Blind Guardian at Concord Music Hall Doomtree and Open Mike Eagle at the Abbey The World is a Beautiful Place and Foxing at Subterranean Electric Wizard at Metro The Fall of Troy and And So I Watch You From Afar at Metro Neurosis at Thalia Hall Between the Buried and Me, Enslaved and Intronaut at the House of Blues Living Colour, Against Me!, Iggy Pop and Modern Life is War at Riot Fest I started freelancing for a local music site at the end of last year so I went to a ton of shows this year and many of them I got into for free. Plus moving to Chicago in general made the amount of shows overwhelming.

Pitchfork Festival line-up (alphabetical order for now):quote:Friday will see performances by Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Carly Rae Jepsen, Girl Band, Julia Holter, Mick Jenkins, Moses Sumney, The Range, Shamir, Twin Peaks, and Whitney. I could be convinced to go Saturday or Sunday but I don't know if I'd throw the kind of money it costs at a line-up where I only want to see a couple of acts, especially because I don't like any as much as Sleater-Kinney or Vince Staples (and I didn't even get to see Vince Staples last year due to weather).

T Bowl posted:How is he? I have a chance to go see him live.. but I've never really enjoyed much of the "sit in front of a laptop and push buttons" guys in person. I saw Four Tet once and it was bad. I admittedly don't enjoy this type of music in general but when I saw him open for NIN and Soundgarden (lol) in an amphitheater in broad daylight (double lol) I'm not sure anyone even noticed he was playing. There was a neat visual thing in the background but that was it. Pitchfork, being in a park on a sunny summer day, would probably be a bad place to see him. They don't do tents or anything, it's just three stages. Although I imagine he'll be on the one under the trees.

Saw Titus Andronicus last night and it was infinitely better than five months ago, despite having basically the same setlist (with the addition of loving Battle of Hampton Roads). The last show was good, but this had better sound, better energy from both the crowd and fans, and they brought out Craig Finn to cover Bastards of Young!

Ah gently caress, I RSVPed to see Dinosaur Jr. for free tonight within walking distance of my workplace and I completely forgot about it until just now. I've been home for two hours and I think the show's over already (not that I'd be able to get there in time if it wasn't). This is the fourth time they've come to Chicago since last year I think, and I've missed all of them.
