  1. Some cell phone pics from the davis mountains last weekend. Took a roll of film as well, excited to get those back.
  2. along with ok computer those 2 albums round out my top 3. what a weird take.
  3. cheap trick, bad company, zz top at cota. cheap trick is one of my least favorite bands of all time. i tried to miss their set but ended up hearing the last 4 songs which were awful. seriously, fuck them. bad company. never been a big fan but they sounded surprisingly good, paul rodgers can still sing really well for being almost 70 years old. one of those bands that i recognized every song but probably couldn't have named more than 3 songs going into it. zz top is a fucking treasure. billy gibbons can't quite sing how he used to but he can still lay down all the blues licks and his tone, my god his tone. just got paid with the extended guitar intro was the shit. something about an outdoor show in the spring with the smell of marlboros and dope wafting over the crowd and zz top blasting is just perfect.
  4. i like that album a lot. saw them open for the sword a couple years ago.
  5. acid dad and wurve at cheer up charlies. first time seeing anything on the indoor stage, it was loud as fuck in there but sounded good. i really like acid dad and i don't know how they aren't more popular. there wasn't even a cover...it was a suggested $5 donation at the door. hopefully they made some money, i made sure to buy an album from them. love their guitar work.
  6. the murlocs at barracuda. australian bluesy garage rock, the lead guitarist and harmonica player from king gizzard are in the band. good energy and they sounded great. all of their songs sound fairly similar, the ones where the lead singer was on harmonica instead of guitar tended to sound a little better. played for a little over an hour.
  7. the isbell songs on blessing and a curse really stand out as not fitting in with the rest of the album. they aren't necessarily bad...but they aren't great either.
  8. ex hex at barracuda. pop-punk garage rock with lots of good hooks and guitar solos. it was fun, and their new album is enjoyable...don't know that i'd see them again though.
  9. deerhunter at mohawk. have seen them several times and this wasn't my favorite setlist, that said it was still very good. bradford was a little too chatty between songs and had a couple long rants. britt daniel sat in for a song which was cool i guess but ultimately didn't add much. desire lines though is always awesome.
  10. this is possibly the most offensive post i've ever seen.
  11. christian bland & the revelators, cosmonauts, night beats at empire control room. cb & the revelators: the best set i've seen from them. the other guitarist from the black angels was playing with them and that helped fill out the sound a lot. their covers of interstellar overdrive and lucifer sam were really good as always. cosmonauts: had never heard of them but they were pretty good. garage punk/psych similar to thee oh sees. would see them again. night beats: first time seeing them with the new band lineup. second guitar and keys were a great addition and really opened up their sound. was expecting a bunch of material from the latest record but i think they only played 2 songs from it, and their set was really short...barely an hour. sounded great though.
  12. saw these guys last night and it was extremely good. if you like Sleep you should check them out. one of the loudest shows I've ever attended.
  13. the well and monolord at barracuda: somehow i've never seen the well, even though i've seen their name around town for years. they were good, sabbath style riffs and good bass grooves. it was their album release, picked up a copy and looking forward to giving it a listen. monolord was amazing. crushingly heavy riffs...just fucking fuzz soaked menacing dark massive sound. everything about it was good. reminded me a lot sleep. dude next to me was vaping something that smelled like waffles the whole time, it was like seeing a concert at a waffle house.
  14. for those in austin, monolord and the well tonight at barracuda.
  15. Funny how things that start spontaneously end that way. Eat a peach. - Neil.
  16. had my lyft driver stop at whataburger on the way home last weekend and ordered the patty melt. after consuming the fries i had a moment of clarity and realized i would enjoy the patty melt far more the next morning. woke up the next morning and popped the patty melt in the oven while i cooked some bacon and fried a couple eggs. added the bacon and eggs to the sandwich and my god it was amazing...and was followed by an hour long nap.
  17. lots of 4/20 parties on saturday: kyle shutt, the sword guitarist, at independence brewing. the sound was terrible but it was a decent set. he's got a solo album coming out in a couple weeks, based on the set there should be some good songs on there. wurve record release at getaway motor club. they've got a good psych/pop sound, have always liked their live show. picked up a record but haven't had a chance to listen yet. curious to see how the record sounds, especially the vocals which seem to always be buried in a live setting. tia carrera record release at lost well. still rocking the power trio stoner jams. haven't listened to the new record yet but i know exactly what it sounds like. lost well was the perfect venue for them.
  18. Octopus Project did some trippy shit in a warehouse on East 5th last night. Ambient light and sound show. There were no drums, all 4 of them were playing keyboard/synth plus a saxophone and theremin. The stage was in the center with 360 degree sound surrounding the crowd. They played for an hour and it was all super chill and spacey. Really cool.
  19. pink mexico at hotel vegas. there were about 20 people there, during a storm on a wednesday night at 11pm is not the ideal set time. they were very good...modern grunge is the best description i have. very angry and guitar heavy.
  20. yeah, super 8 is bad. sirens and here we rest are my 2 favorites.
  21. stc

    Pink Floyd

    Childhood's End
  22. There were people lined up at Waterloo last night at 11pm. Good grief.
  23. one of the first i can remember going to without my parents was a free sammy hagar show at starplex in 1999. 97.1 the eagle gave away tickets for weeks in advance. we were all the way in the back of the lawn by the wall and there were so many trashy people it was amazing. i don't remember any of the concert but i vividly remember the 3 fights that happened directly in front of us.
  24. never go out the rear exit of side bar. i've never seen so much human feces on the ground as i did in that alley during sxsw this year.
