Non Gaslight Gigs

I just saw M83 live last night and it was absolutely mind blowing! Susanne Sundfør opened for them and she was amazing as well! Any of you guys been to any non-gaslight gigs recently?

Just saw World Inferno on Friday. They are arguably the best live band in punk rock, think I've seen em 10 times now. This Friday I'm seeing TGA, but I'm honestly looking more forward to the Plow United/Iron Chic/Spraynard show on Saturday.

I'd never heard of them but just checked them out on youtube, those shows look wiiiillld!

I saw Japandroids on friday. it ruled. best show ever

Saw M83 open for kings of leon a few years back and they were awesome!

The atmosphere was no way near as good as gaslight 2 weeks ago but the general sound quality / musicianship was miles ahead!

And so many of it sounded so much less boring than on the album hahaha

weeell, bruce springsteen last week, cory branan and jon snodgrass, pearl jam in a few weeks and that's it I think!

Niiccee! I've got Ben Howard next week, Springsteen in 2 and this bad boy in between:

They are playing here next Friday. Tickets sold out weeks ago. They are playing at Johnny Brendas, which is this bar that only fits about 175 tops. Going to a party that will hopefully be just as fun.

I saw The Wonder Years and Mixtapes the other night. Well actually I hung out outside during TWY set.

Other than TGA I'm looking forward to seeing Blitzen Trapper next month

Saw Bloc Party last night in Manchester. Sweatiest gig I've ever been to! Was amazing though the crowd were crazy and really getting into it. Liking the new songs too

Went Bloc Party last night too, wasn't that impressed.

Got Springsteen on Friday, Hop Farm (Bob Dylan, Frightened Rabbit, Slow Club, Benjamin Francis Leftwich) Festival next week, then blink-182, Howler, Frightened Rabbit, Miles Kane, Savages/Palma Violets, One Direction, Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Leeds festival lined up.

Gonna see Pearl Jam, Rise Against, Blink 182, Jack White, Justice, the Peppers and Florence + The Machine among other at Werchter festival next week

I am so jealous!!!!!! Sorry, don't mind me, I'm on Springsteen concert withdrawal.

He did a show recently where it poured and it looked like it was awesome. He got right out there in the rain with the crowd so I bet it'll be a blast! Have fun!

Excuse my language but, Holy Crap! That's not just huge in quantity but also quality.

The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys & Radiohead so far this year. Got MGMT, Common, City & Colour, M83, Black Keys again, Aloe Blacc, Justice & whatever else I happen to catch those couple of days. It's a music festival. I've been slackin' for the most part this year though. Tryin' to make up for it the second half.
