Bands I've Seen Live
In order of how many times I've seen them. |
| 1 | State Radio
9 times now. I haven't been a fan of their studio work for ~4 years, but their live
show is always great. |
| 2 | Tegan and Sara
Best show = acoustic at Newport Folk fest '11. |
| 3 | Mutemath
Seen them 4 times now, but the first was still the best (Armistice tour). |
| 4 | Deer Tick
I'm a Rhode Islander... I'd be doing it wrong if I hadn't seen Deer Tick 3+ times. |
| 5 | Good Old War
3 times. Smaller the venue = better the show. |
| 6 | Man Man
3 times. First heard these guys live, never bothered to get the studio recordings cause
I'd rather go to their show and be bombarded by awesome/trippy/dancy/wacky music
that is foreign to me. Great live group. |
| 7 | Streetlight Manifesto
3 times. Catch them on their last tour this summer before they're gone. |
| 8 | Zox
Another Rhode Island group. A shame they ended. Great live group. |
| 9 | Third Eye Blind
3 times. Got worse each time :( |
| 10 | Death Cab for Cutie
3 times. |
| 11 | Minus the Bear
3 times. Every time awesome. |
| 12 | 311
2 times now. |
| 13 | P-Funk
Why not go to a P-funk show? |
| 14 | Shpongle
Drugs. |
| 15 | The Dear Hunter
Their performance of The Color Spectrum is my #2 concert of all time. I'm so glad
I caught that one-time performance. |
| 16 | Circa Survive
Twice in two nights alongside Minus the Bear / Now, Now. Great shows. |
| 17 | Now, Now
^ |
| 18 | Reel Big Fish
Meh. Just played with bands Streetlight often, so I saw them twice. |
| 19 | Kaki King
Love her. She gives hugs after shows :) |
| 20 | Joy Formidable
Great live band. |
| 21 | Dispatch
Twice and never again. I wish I had caught them before 2011. |
| 22 | Chadwick Stokes
Also twice! Between Dispatch, State Radio, and his solo gig, I've seen Chad live 13
times. Always enjoyable himself, and usually a great night. |
| 23 | Radiohead
Just once now. Bonnaroo '12. My #1 show right here. |
