ExcentrifugalForz
05.21.14 | ya G
the only problem is not many women will b there |
Trebor.
05.21.14 | Swans is the kind of band you can see by yourself |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | Ye I guess so, its only like 25 miles away too and the train journey is fine. Just that I'm thinking this will be the perfect opportunity to get into the band hard.
They are supposed to be an incredible live act too. |
Trebor.
05.21.14 | More important question:
Should I smoke weed by myself at 2 in the morning? |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | Lol, this is very important man! I'd say so, if you've got the stash smoke the hash! |
Trebor.
05.21.14 | I have about 500 dollars worth |
demigod!
05.21.14 | i can guarantee you you'll have a better night if you do go than if you don't
@trebor when else would you smoke weed thats pretty much the perfect time if you ask me
|
BigPleb
05.21.14 | Still on the fence man, its kinda frowned upon round here if turn up to a show on your bill lol. Metal gigs its fine but eh, dunno about other genres... |
Trebor.
05.21.14 | half the fuckers at the Swans show will be by themselves
|
BigPleb
05.21.14 | 99.9% male too haha |
tempest--
05.21.14 | 20 pound is a fucking steal for a show your friends are fuckin tight asses |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | I think its more the fact they have never heard of Swans before, still if it were me in their shoes I'd go just for the experience... |
Chrisjon89
05.21.14 | i go by myself more and more as i've become a music geek. i reckon sometimes you can enjoy it more alone. the only awkward bit is pre-show. i'd go for it |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | Hmm, the votes are becoming more and more difficult to defy. |
JS19
05.21.14 | I am there! |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | Wha? Sweet man! :D |
JS19
05.21.14 | 100% by myself too, yeah everyone will be |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | Should have a pint with me man!! |
JS19
05.21.14 | Yeah absolutely! - you definitely going then? Cos the show will absolutely slay for sure |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | I think I will yeah, like I said the train times are looking good so don't see why not!!!! |
PappyMason

Thane
05.21.14 | seeing them in november and i'll probably end up going alone as i do to most shows. it's not so bad. sometimes i prefer it tbh |
treeqt.
05.21.14 | hey man hope this copypasta can help you making a decision
>Work up the courage to go to an Animal Collective concert alone after reading a thread like this and people say no one cares if you're alone
>I turn up a couple minutes late
>As I walk into the event, the whole crowd turns to look at me
>One of them yells "HOLY SHIT, HE'S ALONE!"
>Whole event laughing hysterically as I take my seat
>Calls of "weirdo," "creeper," etc.
>Want to die
>After the concert, the entire audience mobs me in the hallway
>They start dancing in circles around me, chanting deliriously and laughing
>They start singing a nursery rhyme about how only virgins go to concerts alone and how I should kill myself
>I can't get away because they've joined hands and won't let me escape
>They start throwing their drinks and candy and stuff at me
>"HAHA LOOK AT THE LOSER GETTING STICKY"
>Security comes by
>They look mad but then they see me in the middle of the crowd
>One of them says "wait, did that fucker come here alone?"
>Security joins in, start using supersoakers to shoot artificial butter at me
>I'm lying in the fetal position sobbing at this point
>The dancing and chanting continues for over 13 hours
>I'm completely covered in soda, butter, and bits of candy
>Black guy goes "NIGGA LOOKS LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE!"
>Crowd finally disperses
>Panda Bear comes by
>Leans down, whispers in my ear "Never come here again"
>All I can do is whimper yes sir
it's really funny
like really
hope that helps |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | That helps so much man |
treeqt.

TheBarber
05.21.14 | fuck other people and go to it, trust me. |
SeaAnemone
05.21.14 | I mean you only heard Swans for the first time yesterday I would want to make sure I actually like the band first before I go to a show alone |
TheBarber
05.21.14 | he'll love them after seing them, also pleb you could maybe try and make your friends listen to Swans see if they dig |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | 'I mean you only heard Swans for the first time yesterday'
Well for two days, I just mean that in a live setting I would probably appreciate their music even more. |
SpritzSpritz
05.21.14 | go. |
aircycle
05.21.14 | how do you know what their set will be |
BigPleb
05.21.14 | Look it up on setlist.fm :] |
Wafflez
05.21.14 | No shame in going alone mate. Go for it. |
furpa
05.21.14 | Going alone is fine, I do it all the time. But remember to take earplugs to the show, cause Swans have a reputation for being dangerously loud live, and for a 2+ hour performance that could do some shit... |
BMDrummer
05.21.14 | Go, it will be awesome. I missed the show in Boston due to 18+ rules, but I imagine it will be awesome. |
betray
05.21.14 | i promise you that over half of the crowd at a swans show will have gone alone lol |
