That is indeed a thing these Spotifucked days. The other day I got an email from Flock Of Dimes (Jenn Wasner) requesting spaces/hosts for shows to an audience of 40-50 people. Just to name two more artists I follow, Tommy Stinson and Diane Cluck have been doing the same. I imagine there are countless others, and attending such concerts must be great - no whooers! But I also wish these cats didn't have to resort to guerilla-shows warfare to make a flock of dimes. ;)

(Of course, Bill Maher would say "you're not owed a living as a musician. This is show business. This is the make-or-miss league." FUCK YOU BILL MAHER.)

Quite a few train trips to do for this

I'm going to see The Obsessed tonight, The Make-Up on Thursday and Marcia Bassett on Sunday

Friday:


Bettie Serveert
30 Years Celebration of

Palomine !

Mighty excellent!
:)

The Obsessed were superb, The Make Up was fun, and Marcia Bassett was a little disappointing. I'm not a massive fan of her buchla stuff (or solo analogue synth stuff generally) and that was what she was doing that night. Ignatz opened and I'd never an him before and i enjoyed his set a lot.

well, I fell of my bike yesterday morning, while braking on a slippery pavement. My ribs and knee are hurt so I won't be going tonight any longer. Good news is,ticket was sold within seconds

I saw Bridget St John tonight, it was amazing when she sang her older stuff but the newer stuff I'm not so hot on.

Excellent. :)

Artists like her never make it to this s-hole full of bad hombres...

I’ve seen her a couple times, agree with T&B.

Seeing Goblin doing a live score to “Demons” tonight, followed by a rock set. It’ll be my 6th time seeing them, 4th movie soundtrack. Should be a good time.

King Buffalo tonight, don't really know them but I got invited
FACS tomorrow
I hope I'll survive, my ass and ribs and knee still hurt

The Jesus & Mary Chain are one of the first announcements for next year's Roadburn festival, so I will very likely go
Also Khanate will play their first show in 19 years (!), features one of the SUN 0))) guys

I saw Brian Jonestown Massacre and that Anton guy really is such a big douchebag. Wow. Anyway they were good.

DIG! :D

lol my friend Dannica has been chatting about this latest one on social media - it's been known for a while that his empathy is somewhat lacking. Agreed, though, they're here in a few weeks and if I had a job I'd be looking forward to it.

Related, I'm running up and down High St today for a free music festival at multiple venues.

Frankly I wouldn’t see them again. That’s how big of a dickhead he was. But they’re my girlfriend’s favorite band, so yeah we did that.

High Street where?

The things we do for love...

And High Street in Melbourne, Australia; there was a celebration of the 86 tram line and all of the music venues across it. Of the ones I saw:
*Our Carlson at Rowdy's Records
*Andrew Tuttle at the Northcote Uniting Church
*Pretty In Pink at 3 Ravens Brewery
*Doug Martsch (that one) at the Thornbury Theatre
*the Native Cats and Katie Dey at Wesley Anne

Wolf Eyes this Sunday. First thing seeing them since before covid (and about the 25th time overall). Should be good just wish it was another night of the week

had to bail out of the FACS gig at the last moment unfortunately. Earlier in the evening my downstairs neighbors discovered that I had a water leakage. So instead of going to the FACS gig, I paid a plumber 420 Euros to have it fixed on a Saturday evening.

Advice for how to find some underground gigs?
