Sir Elton last night at the Alamodome. One of the last people on my concert bucket list and he was great. The absolute insane clusterfucks at every step getting in and out of that shithole was almost enough to ruin it though.

Went to the Austin Music Awards tonight -- my daughter's band was nominated in 3 categories, Best New Act, Best Punk Band, Best Residency. They swept it.  Holy fuck. It's pretty hard to not

How long did it take you to get in? I heard people turned around went home because it was so bad.

Pretty sure jimmyjazz’s kid is in this band and they fucking kick ass. Really good live sound. First thing I thought of was a riot girl take on Ultramega OK era Soundgarden. I’m really glad I showed up early and caught their set.

Thanks, I appreciate it.  She's the drummer, although she and one of the singer/guitarists swap out when my daughter takes over lead vocals.

Big crowd, maybe the biggest they've played for yet.  I have some video, I'll see about posting it.

Levitation was incredible. King Gizzard was as good as ever, just absolutely destroyed Stubb's and the crowd was so into it. Frankie and the Witch Fingers and the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets also had fantastic sets. Lots of trippy lights and good costumes. Great energy all weekend.

I know shit about fuck when it comes to what makes a good drummer but her playing stood out.  I definitely noticed the fills she played weren't something you normally hear in punk music. She is really good.

 

I'll pass on your kind words.  She showed pretty strong musical aptitude at a young age, so I found a percussion teacher for her in 2nd grade.  She was taught "the right way" from the jump -- snare drum only, all the rudiments, etc.  In high school she really gravitated to marimba, and was actually named outstanding soloist at the state level her junior year.  Had the opportunity to major in music/percussion at UT but chose psychology.  Probably a wise move!

Can't argue with this kind of press:

Quote

Die Spitz Spark Intergenerational Opening Rage

For a rising punk act that cut their teeth at co-op shows and dive bars like Hotel Vegas, Austin’s Die Spitz commanded the Mohawk stage like a headliner. Donning clown garb and an unidentifiable elf costume, the self-proclaimed "boy band with tits" primed Mohawk’s multi-generational L7 crowd with banshee screams, crunchy guitar riffs, and one of the rowdiest mosh pits ever witnessed during an opening slot. The all-femme quartet kicked off their 36 minutes of fury with the taunting choruses and slinky six-strings of "Evangeline," before vocalist and guitarist Ava Schrobilgen snarled a demand for the crowd to "MOSHHHH." Old heads and indie youth collided during fight-and-flight anthem "Going Away," and continued to thrash and squirm the entire set. Die Spitz strutted through oldies and unreleased numbers – most notably "Broken Dogs Gushing Blood" – without a shred of hesitation. When thundering percussionist Chloe Andrews traded instruments with Schrobilgen, and when the latter's guitar strap blew out, the band raged on. The Levitation first-timers closed shop with downstream bass riffs and axe rumbles in drop D, but even after Die Spitz left the stage, the rage never did. – Kriss Conklin

I'm at the Parlor right now waiting for Sixteen Deluxe to go on 

 

I'd be there if it weren't game day.  I recorded a couple of Pam Peltz' bands back in the day (I think The Living Pins might have played right before 16D today?)

I'll double check the name of the band but was talking to Chris earlier who said he produced them. Rockage was had.

So I went to that Toadies Concert with some friends and our late teen kids (17, 19, 19) ...  Some thoughts

  1. Toadies are a really good live act to see live  
  2. It was a "sea of Dads"
  3. The teens enjoyed it but they were the only ones under 40 there by a LONG shot
  4. The teens geeked out on Horton Heat with the standing bass
  5. Lots of pot, lots of booze and a sold out show
  6. HH playing Ace of Spades (to my great shame, my "god son" had never heard the song)  The energy changed and the kids felt it
  7. Backslider and I Burn with the electric acoustic where the peak of the show.
  8. Shout out to the legend in the old Bad Brains concert T

The lines to get through security and then to scan tickets had to be the worst shitshow I’ve ever seen. Seemed like half the crowd wasn’t gonna get in before the show started even getting there an hour before the show.

 

luckily there was a separate entrance/line for floor ticket holders

Did any of the original Pumpkins lineup get included in this tour (besides Billy C)?  I think Jimmy Chamberlin is back, isn't he?

James played also.

Would like to go to see SP, did they play the mostly older stuff or sis they try to promote newer material?  Asking because I cannot connect with the new stuff at all. And they have a lot of "new" stuff. (2000+)   

Probably 80% older stuff.  They played maybe 3 songs off the new album. You could tell because they had the lyrics projected behind them for those songs to really encourage people to sing along and get into them.

yeah, they played the greatest hits along with a handful of newer ones... which i actually know and really like much of their more recent catalog.

that's a rare thing with the SPs, for me anyway... almost all of my favorite bands from the past (like, not including younger acts like Glass Animals, Tame Impala, 1975, etc.) i identify their music with very specific times in my life, and that's the music i always associate them with. 

The Cure is a good example...i know they've released a number of albums post Disintegration, but i'm not sure i could name one song past 1990 lol.

anyway, some of the newer SP stuff is killer. this one is literally brand new and i lost my shit when the opening chords started last night 😄😊

KGLW was incredible. It was my second time seeing them, & they did not disappoint. I highly recommend checking out a KGLW show if you haven’t already.

I’d have to see the set list before I shelled out for PG. I don’t need the latest world beat remix of Biko themed set. I also want to see if he can button that vest around his gut one more time.

Picked up Billy Strings tix for March. Stoked.

Billy strings is incredible live. He plays like a mad man. You won’t be disappointed.
