Got my FJM tickets this morning.  Randomly, I got the same seats as I had on Monday for St Vincent.  Literally the same section, row and seat #'s.  They were good seats, so works for me.

Saw the Weather Station this past weekend, and am seeing Sharon Van Etten, the Wedding Present, the Pixies, Stereolab and Die Spitz, but not in this order.  Hoping to nab some Tv on the Radio.

my morning jacket was excellent last night. i saw them a ton between 2000-2008 but somehow haven't seen them live in over 15 years. they haven't lost a step. was pleasantly surprised how heavy the set was on songs from Z. i've been enjoying the new album and was hoping for river road, didn't get that one but i enjoyed squid ink a lot. still don't like moody amphitheater, the sound was ass for the first several songs and I don't think it was ever loud enough.

Robert Lester Folsom at The Chapel (San Francisco).

The son of my college housemate and teammate is filming a documentary on Folsom’s late rise from obscurity.

Dallas was even better than Austin.

That MMJ show in Las Colinas fucked so goddamn hard. I've seen them three times now -- High Water Fest in Charleston, The Bomb Factory a couple of days later and Saturday in Las Colinas. If there's a better live band going, I'm not sure who it is. (I'd say LCD Soundsystem but that's personal preference as they play basically the same setlist every single night -- and I'll never complain.) I'm trying to hatch a plan to catch MMJ at Red Rocks in August.

Drove down from the Fort for the show.  So very glad I did.  Was worth getting back home at 3:00 AM.  Hopefully they do it gain and not wait 10 more years to do it.

clearly they aren't selling tickets. i don't know why they insist on doing this the same weekend as psych fest again. why unneccesarily compete with another local festival?

Wasn't sure where to put this but caught some vids of the Brothers from MSG.

If those fuckers don't tour, it'll be a national tragedy.

If they do tour and come anywhere near Texas, I will be there.

Saw L.A. Witch with Daiistar last night at Mississippi Studios in PDX.

This was my third time to see L.A. Witch and will probably be my last.  It seems like every performance has less energy than the previous one.  The difference in bands was stark.  Daiistar brought it and had everybody bouncing.  Really fun band.  I'm sure y'all there in ATX are familiar with them but it was my first time to see them.  Reminded me of a 90's Manchester band.

was supposed to see The Black Keys this Tuesday but they canceled their NA tour back in June, i guess to reschedule to smaller 'more intimidate' venues. maybe they were having a hard time selling out the big arenas. i would have thought they are a huge draw, i mean their catalogue is pretty huge, lots of hits and i feel like you hear them everywhere. anyway...

well they rescheduled to Red Rocks in May and somehow there were still tickets available! 😃 so now we've got them and Jack White at Mission Ballroom next month 🤘

Did anyone go to LCD Soundsystem in Austin last night?  Going tonight and would like to know (1) quality of the opening band Nature of Language, and (2) what time LCD actually took the stage.  Thanks

I wasn’t there but will be there tonight. From what I’ve seen online, the opener is just a DJ set and LCD went on around 9. I think Nation of Language is the opener for some of this tour, but not the Austin shows.

Finally saw Khraungbin for the first time tonight. Did not disappoint…even if it was a delayed start/shortened set due to weather.

Some last minute tix just fell into my lap for this tonight in Austin.

Let me know how LCD is; trying to go on Sunday but have family/work responsibilities. If the show is killer I’ll find a way. 

 

The LCD Soundsystem show tonight was absolutely awesome- f'ing magnificent. GO!

I love that Khruangbin is absolutely devoted to its aesthetic (both visually and sonically).

Their stage show is an almost theatrical performance. It’s like watching a long-form perfume commercial. Mark and Laura are committed to the wigs and a vaguely European chic style. Their choreography is slow and deliberate. The band even exits the stage together, in a tidy single file line. There was no rock talk, no looseness, no fucking around. Those dudes took the stage and put on a two hour performance, never breaking character until the final send off after the encore. 

That commitment tracks in their discography, too. They manage to evolve without losing their trademark sound. (My wife put it succinctly: “Khruangbin will never have an ‘Eras’ tour.”) When you play a Khruangbin album, you know what you’re getting: the bastard child of surf guitar and Ravi Shankar over a funky baseline and metronomic drums, maybe with a dash of repetitive, sultry vocals. It might be a little funky, or vaguely Latin, or Eastern influenced; but it’s always distinctly Khruangbin. It was 45 minutes into the show last night before they played a song I recognized. But at the same time, I felt like I had heard them all before.

AUSTIN PSYCH FEST 2025:

Psych Fest this weekend. Good lineup for us old folks, but.. like a lot of old folks, i cant abide by the ticket price. Gonna pass.

do we need to start a "concerts you won't be attending" thread?

Posted

$75 for a day pass doesn't seem unreasonable. you're gonna be paying at least half that to see any one of those headliners on their own. 

Posted

Going to be a nice little three show run this week.  

Tonight - Japanese Breakfast (will be Chad Jr.'s first real rawk show)

Then Jack White and Wilco back to back next week.

Agreed, it was excellent--James Murphy is really understated between songs, not really a showman, but once the song starts he is full throttle.  Not a big lights/effects show at all if you are into that, but that the live versions of the songs were tight.  I've seen them in the past, over 10 years ago--they were younger and more energetic then but are better craftsmen now.
