Is that something they do regularly there? Have bands play boat shows?

I'd be lying if I said I knew any of those bands, but that sounds really cool.

This is the first thing like this I've ever heard of. The boat is more of a touristy thing. You can go for cruises on the weekends for $40 or dinner cruises for about $80. People rent it for weddings and big events, but most of that stuff is a little rich for my blood. I'd probably never go on it if something like this weren't happening so I'm pretty excited.

METZ is probably my favorite out of all the bands. They're a really loud, noisy punk band. Preoccupations and Protomartyr are more post punk and Tyvek sounds pretty garage rock to me.

Dang JB, that's going to be an amazing show. I was thinking about going too, it's only a couple hours from me. Metz is easily my favorite of the bunch, Preoccupations was previously Viet Cong, who are great as well.

I have a Metz shirt that is too short for me so my girlfriend uses it to sleep. Thats all.

So I saw The Dillinger Escape Plan almost 2 weeks ago and got my face melted. I was hit in the face by Ben's guitar when he jumped into the pit and started swinging it like crazy ahah got a small bruise near my left eye and shit. Totally worth it.

Then 2 days ago I went to this fest in Portugal and saw Nothing, King Krule, Ho99o9 and At The Drive-In.
Nothing was good, but I saw then last year and it was better.
I dont really know king krule's music but I was wocked, really good show.
Ho99o9 was the gig of the day, holy shit, I wasnt expecting that. Everyone was going apeshit and the moshpit was massive. They made a new fan.
ATDI was a mixed feeling, it was good, but not that good. Lots of new songs that arent bad, but not classic level. Cedric is fat, tired and looks like he's trying to go crazy just because he "needs to".
After that Chet Faker or whatever the guy is called now played aswell but I almost fell asleep. It was a good day all in all.

But how good was Omar?!?!?

we had tickets to see ADTI maybe a year or two ago and the show got canceled because cedric couldnt sing or something like that. we got our money back and i promised my wife that id take her to the next show they did. their new album came out before they scheduled another show in detroit and i couldnt make it through the album so i never bought us tickets. their over the top edgyness that i loved as a teenager just isnt appealing as an adult and i dont think i could pretend to be into it at one of their shows, especially since the energy they had in the early days is almost totally gone.

i ended up telling my wife that tickets were sold out or costed some absurd amount of money and that was why we couldnt go. i felt a little bad about it because she seemed like she really wanted to see them, but i just couldnt do it. i suffered through an XX show with her to make up for it though. shes a better person. she comes to all the shitty shows i want to see and never complains.

I saw Roky Erickson the other night. It was a good show but a little weird and sad.

I had misgivings about the show because the last time he was around I watched a YouTube video from the night before where he was clearly not all there and I opted not to go. This time I figured what the hell, he's a legend either way and I might not get the opportunity again.

So he takes the stage and sits in a chair with guitar while the band cuts loose. He probably only hits 70% of the lyrics for the first few songs. His voice is more pinched but still sounds good. When they pause between songs he just stares into the middle distance and says nothing. Fans say, "I love you" and the band guys say "He loves you back". Eventually he gets more into it and his percentage increases. The band is all young guys but they are really good. Roky gets more animated while singing and hits some bits of the high stuff like he was 18 again and possibly enjoying it. Played nearly every song I would have wanted to hear. The whole show he said nothing.

I enjoyed the music a lot but it was hard to tell if Roky wanted to be there or if it was a quasi Weekend At Bernie's thing.

Dude is now 70 and I'm not sure how many tours he has left in him so I'm glad I went but it did feel a bit off.

yeah, i could see how that would be a bit disheartening to watch.

whats crazy is that iggy at 70 is still performing like he did in his 20s.

Iggy Pop is something else.

Check out CGI him in the new Oneohtrix Point Never video, for the song they did together:

I went to riot fest in chicago all three days so I've got a list. Four Year Strong, Action Bronson, The Story So Far, Ministry, Vic Mensa, Cold Beat, Bad Brains, The Regrettes, Wu-Tang Clan, Taking Back Sunday, Versus, Cap'N Jazz (their set was hilarious), Pennywise, Dinosaur Jr, Prophets of Rage, Jawbreaker. It's been a great three days.

how was bad brains? id love to see them. and was wu tang any good? i saw them once and it was awful. only like 5 of them showed up. no gza. no rae. no ghost. it was basically the method man show for 45 minutes then they called it quits. i was pissed that i stood through 2 hours of shitty local rappers to get such a half ass wu tang show.

Bad Brains was awesome. The pit was insane. I thought it was gonna be kind of a letdown because HR isn't young and angry anymore but I'm glad to say I couldn't have been more wrong. Wu-Tang was fucking lit too. They played most of 36 Chambers and Raekwon did Ice Cream and they played a new song too. They brought two kids on stage because Wu-Tang is for the children. They had one of my favorite sets, I'd see them again if you get a chance. Queens of the Stone Age was playing but I didn't see them because I haven't listened to them a ton and Taking Back Sunday (who I LOVE) was at the same time.

Last week I saw AJJ (formally Andrew Jackson Jihad) and Streetlight Manifesto back to back, and they were both commemorating records they put out in 2006 that had a pretty big impact on a 16 year old me. It was pretty special to see them play both records front to back.

The boat show last Friday was pretty sick. Tyvek was the first band and we watched them for a little bit. They were decent. We skipped the next band who was kind of like a deep house synthy band so that we could hang out on the top deck. Preoccupations were next and I was pretty stoked to see them, but honestly they sounded like shit. I don't think of them as a noise band, but they definitely wanted to be that night. Half the show they weren't even "playing" just being loud with no structure. I stuck around long enough to watch them play Bunker Buster then bailed back to the top deck which was honestly a lot more fun. They had DJs spinning records up there. People watching was great too. METZ was next and they kicked ass. Great show and they sounded a lot better than the previous bands. They played almost all the songs I wanted to hear. The only bummer was that the stage was really low and I couldn't see the drummer.  We ended up leaving after their set, which I sort of felt bad about because we missed Protomartyr, and they were the ones headlining the whole thing, but I've never been a huge fan of theirs. The main reason we left was because it was 11:30 and neither me or my wife had eaten anything since breakfast. Overall, it was definitely worth $20 to see METZ and ride the boat around.

saw the Melvins a night ago.  even though I don't love the new album, the new songs were so much better 'live'.  I generally think they are a waaaay better live band than studio band (except for Senile Animal...that is the best sound production on a melvins album)

A friend of mine recently gave me his copy of Senile Animal, and it quickly became my new favorite Melvins record. I'm not as well acquainted with their new material, but I'm a big fan and they're a fun band to see whether you know everything or don't. I think I told this story already, but they played here in July but got shut down right before they were gonna play Hung Bunny. :(





On the complete opposite spectrum, I saw Paul McCartney last night with my parents. Like pretty much everyone, The Beatles were basically my introduction to music as a whole when I was super young, so it goes without say that seeing Paul was a real goddamn treat. We were on the main floor too which was absurdly expensive, but my dad has been a huge fan his whole life so he insisted on getting good seats.
