Athom
05.29.11 | dammit eric. get on that shit |
Ire
05.29.11 | no but it should be a damn good show anyways
plus it's in a taco shop! |
Athom
05.29.11 | @ ire: i tried to get on the show for that tour in riverside. didnt get it :( |
SeaAnemone
05.29.11 | I'm such a poser lol
most of the best of today's emo bands come within a few blocks of me a few times a year but I can never find the time nor motivation : (
doesn't help that none of my real life friends like anything near emo oh well... |
Ire
05.29.11 | wuwuwuweak
some local pv band is playing. i had no idea vegas had a pv band. |
Athom
05.29.11 | make better friends that you share no real connection with besides you were at the same show and then in a year wonder why you even know those motherfuckers in the first place. |
sixthgoldenticket
05.29.11 | going to shows alone is never bad if you love the music. i never got people who didnt go to shows of bands they like just because no one goes with them |
Athom
05.29.11 | everywhere has pv bands. |
someguest
05.29.11 | "nor motivation : ("
glad I am not the only lazy ass son of a bitch |
Ire
05.29.11 | everywhere has pv bands.
i want to frame these words on my wall |
SeaAnemone
05.29.11 | yeah I know it sounds like a bitchy excuse but I legitimately don't have time to go to shows... I should find somebody on sputnik from the baltimore area lol |
iarescientists
05.29.11 | going to emo shows alone is kind of awkward cause they tend to be really cliquey, but if you're not socially retarded like me it might be a nice way to make new friends! |
someguest
05.29.11 | "from the baltimore area lol"
baltimore? you should be as depressed as a michigander. the professor i had for world economic history was from there, and he says it's just as shitty as flint (albeit less murder) |
SeaAnemone
05.29.11 | zach: yeah, I don't know... I don't really fit into that whole scene appearance-wise I just love the music so I feel like I'd
stick out... what I'm going to try and do next year is start snagging interviews with more emo bands and just use that
as an in / an excuse
someguest: yeah but I live on one of the nicer campuses in the country with way-too-privileged white Catholic kids so
it's a bit sheltered from the city in many ways... Baltimore has some charm though if you know where to find it, in-
between the murder and crime |
Athom
05.29.11 | most of the venues i hang out at are in sketchy neighborhoods in LA. shit holes can be really fun if you take the time to find it. |
tkxxx7
05.29.11 | dragged my rapping bro along with me to La Dispute/Defeater/Native/Former Thieves. he ended up buying "Somewhere..." . |
iarescientists
05.29.11 | all the shows around here are just house shows, which makes it awkward when you drive up and it's someones house and you're like "oh is this where the show is" and they're just like "yeah" and then you just chill until the show starts feeling awkward as shit.
luckily i have friends now, or have become friends with the people who own the houses, so i don't have to deal with that anymore! |
sixthgoldenticket
05.29.11 | my town just lost one of its best d.i.y. venues and one of its houses, so most local shows are played on the west side, which sucks cause i can never make it out to them. the scene around here is mostly hardcore/pv/some melodic hardcore |
sixthgoldenticket
05.29.11 | oh and a little latterman-infused punk |
Spec
05.29.11 | Saddest Landscape is on my list of bands to see. |
snerefedsav
05.29.11 | oh shit son that's gonna be a bomb show. i saw snowing and 1994! in the winter at this dude's basement in chicago. one of the best show's i've ever been to. and i would love to see algernon live as well. i think they're coming here to the same place on june 18 or something like that, so i'mma hit that up if i can |
pmmets07
05.29.11 | yeah kids went crazy for algernon and snowing when i saw them. gonna download parrot flies now because artwork is pretty and i liked some kind of cadwallader |
Iamthe Nightstars
05.29.11 | sorry, but what is a pv band? |
AbyssalCreation
05.29.11 | Power Violence
also I'm so sad I missed this tour because I was working.I've been really into Snowing lately, and really wanted to see 'em. |
Iamthe Nightstars
05.29.11 | That's what I thought, but I didn't think it was ever really that popular of a genre. |
Iamthe Nightstars
06.14.11 | The show was pretty cool. The venue was about the size of a two car garage and there were only like 25 people. |
pmmets07
06.14.11 | crowds go nuts for snowing and algernon
based on when i saw them |
Rev
06.14.11 | there are no local pv bands here :(
I should start one, but first i have to find musicians in this town that don't want to play metalcore |
Pharoh
08.03.11 | "I should start one, but first i have to find musicians in this town that don't want to play metalcore"
Yeah, seems like nobody either knows what real emo is or want to play it. |
tkxxx7
08.03.11 | i keep running across terrible local metalcore bands, i thought it was just me |
iFghtffyrdmns
09.27.11 | so jealous of the fact that you saw snowing before they R.I.P.'d |
Iamthe Nightstars
09.27.11 | The show was really odd for me. I'm used to going to pretty well known band concerts and the venue being big with a bar and good sound system and a bunch of people there. This show on the other hand was literally in a storage garage with no sound system except a p.a.. There wasn't even a bathroom there, you'd have to go across the street to a gas station. And there were no more than 25-30 people there besides the people in the bands. All the bands played great though. I just never been to a show like it before. |
Trebor.
09.27.11 | You lucky dog |
eternium
09.27.11 | Shows like that are the best. |
Iamthe Nightstars
09.27.11 | I guess you could say it was a more personal experience than other shows. |
