I went on a bit of a concert-buying binge and have secured tixs to the following shows...thoughts on these bands and/or their opening acts?
Firstly, I'm gonna have to count the Hot Chip/Free Energy show I went to two weeks ago as #1 on the list because (1) I saw it with two of my fav guyz (Leo and Bri, way to help kickstart this), (2) in my current fav venue (The Highline Ballroom) and (3) 'twas a FREE "secret" myspace show...perfectly good reasoning, right? Yah? Glad we're agreed.
February 26: Yes Giantess (with native Brooklyn-based Red Wire Black Wire and DJ Concerned) // Brooklyn Bowl (new venue for me...kinda more into the opening group than Yes Giantess actually)
March 5: Neon Indian (with Special Guest - TBA) // Webster Hall (booooo to the venue...but I can't complain about the $1 cover with RSVP)
March 22: Fruit Bats (with Portland's Blue Giant and Chicago's The Singleman Affair) // Bowery Ballroom (WAHOOO, my 2nd fav venue...thuuuus far)
April 2: Temper Trap (with The Kissaway Trail of Denmark)// Webster Hall (gawwwwd...hate when a band you luv plays a sucky venue and then after you get tixs they announce a new show at Music Hall of W'burg)
April 30: La Strada CD release party (with Cuff the Duke) // Knitting Factory (pretty jazzed to see Toronto-based Cuff the Duke)
June 15: John Butler Trio (with State Radio)...can someone say "hottie hippies"! Perfect outdoor show// Central Park Summerstage
carmina! the love of my life, sharon jones, is playing with her dap kings at the legendary apollo theater april 30th...have you got your tix to la strada yet? can you be swayed? i can almost guarantee a cameo performance by yours truly.
ReplyDeleteDUDE! I do already have La Strada tixs BUT I noticed Sharon added a second show (May 1st) at the Apollo!
