  1. qotsa at austin360/cota last night. the opening band, wolf alice, was awful. the qotsa set was over 2hrs long and more than half of the songs were drawn from the last 2 albums...so not really an ideal setlist but that's really my only complaint. they sounded great and the light show was simple but effective. their live show has been on another level since drummer, jon theodore, joined the band a few years ago. he definitely adds a new dimension to their sound...and his solo during no one knows was pretty great as far as drum solos go. you can't quit me was the highlight for me, they jammed the shit out that extended outro and i fucking love it when they incorporate the lap steel. wish they would have included at least one song from rated R.
  2. welp, that sucks. The Gary Clark Jr. concerts scheduled to take place Wednesday, June 13; Thursday, June 14; and Friday, June 15 have been rescheduled due to circumstances beyond control.The newly scheduled dates are Monday, December 3; Tuesday, December 4; and Wednesday, December 5.
  3. i've done it, and it was expensive. had it get the uberXL option to find a driver.
  4. i'm generally a fan, but i find it very easy to see how if you don't like their music you would find their personalities obnoxious. like, hey these guys suck but they act like they're putting on the best rock show in the world, fuck them. definitely seen bands that come across that way. again, i don't feel that way but i can very easily see how someone could.
  5. Easily Red Rocks. Hollywood Bowl is pretty cool too. Still need to get to the Gorge and the Greek. As far as Austin...the old Backyard was the best. Currently Moody/ACL Live is the winner. The Parish is also a great venue but they never have any bands that are worth a shit.
  6. Saturday night at Beerland: The Boleys- 3 sibling power trio from Florence, TX. Had kind of a Ty Segall psych punk thing going on. Not bad, definitely have potential. Teevee- 4 piece from Austin. Droning psych with some good hooks and lots of noise. Will definitely be checking them out again. Peyote Coyote- Aside from having a great name, they also sound pretty good. Fuzzed out garage rock with some psych surf sounds mixed in there and good bluesy lead guitar.
  7. well, they have electricity now. you can still get a good meal at falcon's restaurant, and the bar is still there but no more pool tables. as you can imagine the border being closed for a decade didn't do them any favors.
  8. the camping situation in the basin was ridiculous. we didn't have too much trouble finding a spot on thursday morning, but when we left on saturday we had some asshole trying to set up camp in our site before we even took our tent down. there were people there before sunrise scoping out spots.
  9. Spent last week in Big Bend. We did a 4 day canoe trip through Boquillas Canyon followed by 2 nights in the Basin. We did a guided float through Big Bend River Tours and it was fantastic. They fed us like kings: steaks, salmon, enchiladas, cheesecake...it really took it to the next level and may be the only camping trip where I walked away feeling like I gained weight. The river was at about 110 cfs but there were only a couple places where we bottomed out. A couple of class 2 rapids but otherwise a very calm and relaxing float. We also got to explore some very nice side canyons. The Basin almost felt claustrophobic after being on the river for 4 days, but we did get to summit Casa Grande...which has been on my list for a while. From Casa Grande
  10. the new dead meadow album is good.
  11. May 23, 2000 A Perfect Circle and NIN at Starplex. Was the release date of the first APC album, and The Fragile tour for NIN. First time to see both and was amazed by the NIN stage show. David Gilmour at the Paramount Theater in Oakland is a close 2nd. Hearing Echoes live...fuck.
