4 |  | Pussy Riot xxx
Riot Fest 2018
Douglas Park, Chicago 9/14/2018
A rather.... bad set musically unfortunately, but I respect the fuck out of them, and given this was around the time the government poisoned some of their band members I can kind of overlook how bad it was. Still glad I attended |

7 |  | Digable Planets Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)
Riot Fest 2018

8 |  | Taking Back Sunday Tell All Your Friends
Riot Fest 2018
Douglas Park, Chicago 9/14/2018

63 |  | Shing02 Waikyoku
A Tribute to Nujabes
7th Street Entry, Minneapolis 3/20/2019
Shing02 & The Chee-Hos working through a lot of Nujabes' classics. The first 45 minutes were the Chee-Hos preforming the instrumental songs live first, which was just..... amazing to witness. Then Shing02 came on to start preforming every track he was featured on. It was incredible. |
64 |  | Bob Mould Sunshine Rock
Electric Fetus, Minneapolis 3/28/2019
Acoustic meet&greet! it was great |
65 |  | Amanda Palmer Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under
Electric Fetus, Minneapolis 4/13/2019
Went to the Fetus for record store day and when I arrived I saw a huge line and was informed that Amanda Palmer was about to preform and do a meet & greet. Hell yea, we stayed and I got her newest record. |
66 |  | Amanda Palmer There Will Be No Intermission
The O'Shaughnessy, St. Paul 4/13/2019
After the Acoustic set I decided that I wanted to go see her full show which i had previously been undecided on. It was a 4 hour set that took a lot of inspiration from Bruce Springsteen's recent Broadway shows. She went through stories in her life and all the controversy she faced. It was an emotionally tolling performance, and focused a lot on body positivety and women's health. It was beautiful.
I'll never be able to hear Let It Go the same way ever again |
67 |  | Trash Knife Trash Life
Eagles 34, Minneapolis 4/27/2019
This ripped |
68 |  | IV IV

Holy shit this was nuts. One of the best local sets I've ever been to. |
69 |  | Neighborhood Brats Claw Marks
Eagles 34, Minneapolis 4/27/2019
Every band at this show was incredible. The unhinged energy was something to behold. I've seen both IV and Neighborhood Brats in the past, but those past sets were nothing compared to this. One of the best shows I've ever attended |
70 |  | MURF MURF

77 |  | Prince Daddy and The Hyena I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
Traveled to Michigan for a roadtrip cause I've never been, and also this was the final Bledfest.
Prince Daddy was so so so good live. |
78 |  | SeeYouSpaceCowboy... Songs For The Firing Squad
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
This wound have been even better if it weren't for the hardcore dorks in the crowd throwing kicks |
79 |  | Antighost Animal Panic!
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
This was in a classroom about the size of my apartment. Small. But seeing this band so recently after discovering their wonderful Animal Panic! EP was fateful. |
80 |  | Have Mercy Make The Best Of It
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
A really sad and heartfelt show here. Brian halfway through the set talked about how his was the biggest crowd they've had in years, and that the gym was the biggest venue they've played in years. And the rapturous crowd really gave him faith in music again after becoming so disillusioned. Of course this was right before they dropped their final record and went on their final tour. It's a sad but warm memory I have of this show. |
81 |  | The Sonder Bombs MODERN FEMALE ROCKSTAR
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
Seriously check this band out. |
82 |  | Spanish Love Songs Schmaltz
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
The Biggest reason I went to this festival was because I still hadn't seen Spanish Love Songs. They played a tiny stage in the entrance of the school, and that did not stop people from going for it. the ceiling tiles were all fucked up after this set. |
83 |  | Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties Routine Maintenance
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
A giant sing along. |
84 |  | The End of the Ocean -aire
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019 |
85 |  | Illuminati Hotties Kiss Yr Frenemies
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
Their set was interrupted by the fire alarm and then everyone was ushered out cause uh oh there was a fire. 45 minutes later we were let back in and instead of 20 people there was about 150 people waiting for Free Throw. Sarah Tudzin is one of the most charismatic people I've ever seen and she is the best. Pressed 2 Death was hype. |
86 |  | Iron Chic Not Like This
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
After the fire the set times were all fucked so I missed a good chunk of Iron chic, but made it there for My Best Friend. Iron Chic is always incredible live |
87 |  | Free Throw What's Past Is Prologue
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019 |

90 |  | Camp Cope How to Socialise and Make Friends
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
After all the high energy sets for the past 9 hours, this was.... not what I needed. Camp Cope are slow and while I was initially excited to see them, this was an endurance test. Kelly is such an amazing bassist and I could see that these songs meant a lot to a lot of the people in the crowd so I can't hate on it too much. |
91 |  | The Wonder Years The Upsides
Bledfest 2019
Hartland Preforming Arts Center, Howell 5/25/2019
Sister Cities heavy, but Wonder Years are always fun live, and I feel like it is a fitting final band for the final Bled fest. I dipped out early so I could start my drive to UP and go to the Dark Sky International Park. I got there at 3-4am, but the sky was worth the tiring drive. Unfortunately I missed the Wonder Years close out Bled fest with All my friends are in bar bands featuring free throw, hawthorne, spanish love songs, and a few other bands. |
92 |  | Spanish Love Songs Losers
7th Street Entry, Minneapolis 5/28/2019
The day after I got home from my Upper Peninsula journey, we went to go see Spanish Love Song's first time in Minnesota! with Butchers Union opening and Paddy being absolutely plastered.
Unfortunately the crowd was not as hype as in Michigan |
93 |  | Iron Chic You Can't Stay Here
7th Street Entry, Minneapolis 5/28/2019 |
94 |  | See Through Dresses End Of Days
7th Street Entry, Minneapolis 6/3/2019 |
95 |  | Laura Stevenson The Big Freeze
7th Street Entry, Minneapolis 6/3/2019
Laura Stevenson with a crowd of about 50 people is weird to me, she's just the best. |
96 |  | Tongue Party Looking For A Painful Death
Hexagon, Minneapolis 6/28/2019
Tongue party is seriously one of the best bands out there right now. |
97 |  | Machine Girl ...BECAUSE I'M YOUNG ARROGANT AND HATE EVERYTHING
Hexagon, Minneapolis 6/28/2019
Packed free show in a shitty dive bar. it was intense |
98 |  | Bad Religion Age of Unreason
First Avenue, Minneapolis 7/2/2019
This was Bad Religion's first show in Minnesota in a decade or something I think. They're the best old school punk show still going, it never fails to be a crazy time. |
