Two or less Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Imagine Dragons this coming Monday in Toronto. Super pumped! Quote
sabills Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Flogging Molly and the Hip sound like a logistical nightmare crowd control wise. That's basically doubling the tickets that are available. True. Its gonna be awesome, haha. Quote
spndnchz Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Concert was awesome. Who knew I liked '80's music? It's like electronica for beginners. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 I'm pumped for the flogging molly/tragically hip reschedule next friday. Last friday was my first exposure to Gord in person and he was amazing. Also, Grace Potter did not dissapoint, she's still a rocker/hippie chick at heart. I might go see her at the Town Ballroom in September. Don't forget The Lowest Of The Low. I was coming to town to see the Low, now I get to see the Hip as well. Should be awesome. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Tonight it's Southern Culture On The Skids in downtown Raleigh. They are sure to play at least some of the following 'hits'.... so how could it be anything but a big party? Put Your Teeth Up On The Windowsill My House Has Wheels Liquored Up and Lacquered Down Cheap Motels Chicken ###### Farmer Dirt Track Date and my personal favorite... The Fly That Rode From Buffalo They closed the show with this one tonight. I've probably seen these guys in concert 25-30 times, but it's been probably five years since I saw them last. A better live straight rock band you will not find. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAm0YQMEcEs Quote
SHAAAUGHT!!! Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 Infringement festival is running all week in Buffalo. Most shows are free, including the Anti-Warped Tour 2, a block party with 20+ bands playing from 11am to 9pm. Check it out and support your local musicians http://artvoice.com/issues/v12n30/infringement_2013 Quote

I don't know them as well, but I've heard they're really good live. I'm going to listen to some of their stuff over the next week here to get ready, same thing I did w/ the hip a few weeks ago(though I knew some of their stuff before hand). Quote

You really only need to familiarize yourself with Shakespeare My Butt as 90% of the songs they play will likely be from that incredible and nearly perfect album. They are only widely known from Toronto to Buffalo, and you couldn't find a WNY bar in the mid to late 90's that didn't have this CD in their jukebox. an added bonus is that women in general absolutely LOVE this band. I personally benefited from this fact a few times back in the day. Edited July 26, 2013 by Claude_Verret Quote

Claude_Verret Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Doing some YouTubing and found this. Lowest of The Low doing the HNIC intro for a Sabres/Leafs game a few years ago. Good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRAsDjQBAZ8 Quote
inkman Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Got free tickets to the Under the Sun Tour. Two problems. It's probably going to be Under the Rain Concert and do I really want to drive 40 minutes to see Gin Blossoms, Sugar Ray, Smashmouth, Fastball and vertical horizon. Hmmmm.... Quote

I feel like I would ruin the innocence of my childhood if I went to that show and it sucked. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Apparently I'm going to the BNL concert in Raleigh tomorrow night. My wife claims that she told me weeks ago, but I don't remember and frankly I'm not all that enthused about it. I loved the Ladies in the early Gordon / Maybe You Should Drive days, but they jumped the shark with the commercial success of the Stunt album IMO and it's been downhill from there. Oh well our first date was a BNL concert at Shea's...so as they say happy wife, happy life... This little stretch is going to be like my concert going days of my 20's. SCOTS, BNL, Ben Folds, The Hip, The Low and Flogging Molly within 8 days. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 2, 2013 Report Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) In town for the big concert tonight and its raining cats and dogs in Williamsville. Hopefully it's not another hip rain out tonight. Now with the hail...wtf is this, NC? Edited August 2, 2013 by Claude_Verret Quote

Hopefully it's not another hip rain out tonight. Now with the hail...wtf is this, NC? Isolated T-storms all evening, but nothing like what we had a few weeks ago, haha. % precip is all about 20-30. Looks like most of the action will be to the north, though. Here's hopin' for the best. How was BNL? Edited August 2, 2013 by sabills Quote

I think they only played Brian Wilson and Yoko Ono from the early albums. They played a bunch of new stuff that I didn't know and their set as a headliner was only an hour. My wife was extremely disappointed. Hope the forecast gives us some dry Hip. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 Stumbling drunk Canadians galore...still the Hip rule. Quote
Weave Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Posted August 3, 2013 Stumbling drunk Canadians galore...still the Hip rule. And we got rained on in Lockport for the Jonny Lang concert. I don't know if it got called off. We left 2/3 of the way through the last opening act when the skies opened up. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 And we got rained on in Lockport for the Jonny Lang concert. I don't know if it got called off. We left 2/3 of the way through the last opening act when the skies opened up. We left right after the New Orleans is Sinking / Nautical Disaster medley to try to beat the traffic. Right as we got to my brothers truck the rain started coming down pretty good. Its a great venue, but if we hadn't left when we did I could see getting bogged down in traffic for awhile no doubt.

sabills Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 Yeah, it took a while to get out, but not terrible. Just the right amount of rain last night. I just wish the Mollys could have played longer. Quote

darksabre Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 Hadn't seen Flogging Molly before and I really enjoyed their set. High energy. I've seen them at least three times over the years and they are consistently one of the best bands to see live. Best band to see live though? Gogol Bordello. You don't listen to the music, you experience it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ_XX52-Xdw Quote

They're on my list of acts I really want to see. although I never get to concerts these days, so I may never get the chance. Quote
