| Upcoming Shows(!!!!!!)
Not tryna jinx anything here, but officially snagged me some (predominantly) outdoor concert tickets for the tail-end of the summer, looking forward to finally getting out there to see some live music again! List is my favorite record from each band performing (and a few oddballs when applicable). | | 1 |  | The Menzingers
On the Impossible Past
Playing Pier Six Pavilion (technically, now "MECU Pavilion," but really, still Pier Six) on August 2nd. The boys are actually opening for two bands that I care substantially less about, but lawn tickets were $20, which I'm considering worth it (ignoring, for a moment and my sanity's sake, the extra $20 in fees, many thanks Livenation). | | 2 |  | The Replacements
Pleased To Meet Me
Coheadlining the show. This might tarnish my punk cred, but I mostly know this band by virtue of constantly getting them confused with The Replacements, so...we'll see how this goes. | | 3 |  | Rise Against
Endgame
The other coheadliner. I made an attempt to get into this band back in college, which never really took. I will still shamelessly belt along with "Help is on the Way" every time it randomly comes up on radio or shuffle rotation, though. | | 4 |  | Lord Huron
Strange Trails
Also playing Pier Six, September 13th. Have really enjoyed everything this band's put out, though I'll confess to owing Long Lost a few more spins. This is a Monday show, which usually aren't ideal, but honestly sort of suits this band's vibe in my head. Opener is somebody named Allison Ponthier, whom I guess I'll listen to at some point in the next two months. | | 5 |  | Coheed and Cambria
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
ALSO playing Pier Six (I swear, I break from the pattern below), September 21st. Coheadling (Coheedlining?) with The Used. Definitely my most highly anticipated of the bunch, right here, these boys have yet to disappoint onstage. Also, password for the pre-sale was Vaxis 2, so hoping there'll be some new tunes in the mix, Part 1 was definitely their finest output since NWFT in my book. | | 6 |  | The Used
The Used
Coheadling with the 'heed. Truthfully, kinda called it quits on this group after Artwork, but their first two albums in particular still get solid spins whenever I'm several beers deep and feeling my early aughts post-pop-emo-whatever nostalgia for MTV2 kick in. | | 7 |  | Hail the Sun
Wake
Playing Das Ottobar September 28th. Their new one is basically a cover-to-cover banger, as well, but Wake still takes the cake, baby! Also, just super glad to see this hole-in-the-wall punk venue stuck around, losing it to the pandemic would've been a major blow to Bmore. | | 8 |  | Kurt Travis
Everything is Beautiful
Opening (read: hopefully coheadlining?) w/ HtS, would honestly be worth the ticket price to see my man alone, as far as I'm concerned. Needless to say, hyped for this. | | 9 |  | Body Thief
Speak In Hibernation
Also opening the Ottobar show. Haven't really listened to this group much yet, but based on their "similar to" CV on this very site, seems like something that'd be right up my sometimes-dingy, sometimes-glossy alley. | | 10 |  | Kaonashi
Dear Lemon House, You Ruined Me: Senior Year
Yet another opener (they really jam-packed this bill), yet another pile of homework to do. The Soundoffs on this are...interesting to say the least haha, seems like I'm in for an experience one way or the other here. Worst case, I guess I can always get to the show a little late. | |

07.02.21 | [Sorry for the letdown, though.] | tom79
07.02.21 | Descendants are great too. Amazing they're still going. I saw them in 2012 and was surprised back then I was seeing them. |
