Twilight Concert Series AKA Utah doesn't suck as bad as I usually say it does

[cobl04]

Hey, Cruisin' with Gwenyth was awesome.

 

[u2popmofo]

That's the one show I don't already have tickets to that I want to see.

 

[Reggo]

Prepare to hate me and my state...




July 5 – Beach House / The Walkmen

$5

I want to see this show, but I'm kind of worried that with it being 4th of July week, it might be more packed and harder to get a good spot.

 

[u2popmofo]

These are the unannounced shows:

July 19 - Nas
July 26 - Band of Horses

 

[u2popmofo]

1,000 high fives.

Cobbz, are Empire of the Sun the good or bad kind of Australian group?

 

[cobl04]

Good. Great electro pop. Bonnie is a fan, so it's not just me.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Damn. Those are some awesome shows. I need to see Belle & Sebastian live. If they played anything off of Sinister, I would weep.

Same here. I literally shouted something like "Yeeeeessssss!!!!!!!!!!!!" when I saw them on the list. Wasn't expecting them in a million years.

Good. Great electro pop. Bonnie is a fan, so it's not just me.

Just listened to 3 songs. Definitely recognized a couple of them.

Walking on a Dream was everywhere.

7/20 in Union Park dude, I'll buy the beer.

 

[Reggo]

I distributed the line up at work and all anyone talked about four the rest of the day was the flaming lips. I hated myself for a long time.

Empirer of the Sun are one the bands I'm most jealous of you getting. One of my multiple missed opportunity bands

Hey you're still alive :up;

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm proud of my joke on the first page of this thread. I'm also proud of the fact that I'm still consistently making the exact same jokes four years later.

 

[Reggo]

Hey you're still alive :up;

Indeed I am.

 

[u2popmofo]

Foxygen was just announced as the opener for the MGMT show. Looks like I'm going to have to go to that now.

 

[Danny Boy]

So this isn't a rock opera about vampires and werewolves?

 

[u2popmofo]

The concert series began in 1988, so no.

Friggin' Twilight.
