Your 2008 concert calendar

[BoMac]

Let's hope they're up for it.....more wandering around the Plateau at 3am, anyone? At least Rapido makes good poutine.

Let's hope so. Let's also hope they do it at a different venue than the Maurice Richard Arena.

Poutine

Yeah, I'm really excited about Explosions. I've wanted to see them for ages. Really hope that I don't end up having to miss it for work.

If 65dos are still playing, I'll definitely get some for you if they allow cameras.

 

[Jack In The Box]

when EITS visited Mexico, Rayani ended with a bleeding hand in their gig in Guadalajara they play hard!

and I will appreciate those 65dos pics forever

I thought in USA cameras were always allowed

So I said "what the hell" and am going to Explosions in the Sky even though I've nobody to go with. Thus, my current gig list:

29 January: Dream Theater, Festival Hall, Melbourne
16 February: Explosions in the Sky supported by Eluvium, Corner Hotel, Melbourne

Now, anyone here know if Built To Spill are good live? I've recently started to quite enjoy You In Reverse, but I don't know too much of their previous material. They're playing at the East Brunswick Club on 1 January and I'm not sure whether to go or not. Are they worth $46 and a 30 minute walk home?

 

[intedomine]

So I said "what the hell" and am going to Explosions in the Sky even though I've nobody to go with. Thus, my current gig list:

That's like me with Ian Brown. I can't get straight answers from my crew as to whether they reckon he's worth $70, so I'm just gonna say fuck ya's all and go on me own........

 

[Saracene]

It's pretty slim for now:

28 Jan - Big Day Out, Flemington Racecourse
20 Feb - PJ Harvey

 

[martha]

Good for you! Never wait for someone to go with you. You'll miss good shows just waiting around for others.

 

[onebloodonelife]

So I said "what the hell" and am going to Explosions in the Sky even though I've nobody to go with.

That's the way to do it. I go to the majority of my concerts alone. I don't have to worry about my friends having fun, and I meet lots of new people.

 

[onebloodonelife]

December 31st/January 1st: The Flaming Lips
February 16th: Super Furry Animals
March 16th: Bruce Springsteen

Add Bob Saget on April 11th. Can't wait for it, he's an extremely dirty stand up performer, so seeing "Danny Tanner" do such things will be amazing

 

[Axver]

This year rather brutally taught me that lesson. Arcturus were playing here and I had nobody to go with. I tried to rationalise it: Garm sings on my favourite albums while their current singer was ICS Vortex (who I also like, but not as much), and I don't really know their new album. Then a few days after the gig, I learnt that ICS Vortex walked on stage and announced "Welcome to the last Arcturus gig. Ever." A few days later, the band officially announced that they had broken up. That sucked so much.

So finances permitting, I'm going to make a point of not missing gigs. Maybe I'll even meet some cool people with similar tastes ...

Before you know it, you'll be traveling alone as well.

 

[Axver]

Already travelled alone when U2 came. And I'll do it again if Porcupine Tree's possible 2008 Aussie tour materialises. They better come! That'd make my year, and make up for the whole Arcturus thing.

 

[onebloodonelife]

I'm doing that for the first time in 8 days...should be interesting.

 

[martha]

It's addicting.

 

[onebloodonelife]

Great, another thing I need as an addiction...already have tattoos and going to concerts

 

[Jack In The Box]

I went to EITS alone, it was great, I knew a nice girl and enjoyed a lot...

16 February: Explosions in the Sky supported by Eluvium, Corner Hotel, Melbourne

I hate you

02/23 - Wilco

Are we sure we're not actually related?

 

[GibsonGirl]

Only one so far, but I am so fucking pumped it's not even funny. Arcade Fire may do a winter/spring '08 Canadian tour.

21.01.2008..........Peter Bjorn and John
??.??.2008..........Arcade Fire

Canadian tour? I wonder if that would include Atlantic Canada. Hell, if Feist could come here...

 

[onebloodonelife]

Maybe you're my long lost awesome auntie?
