Concert Calendar Part 2
Apparently I’ve missed a whole bunch of other shows coming up, so I’ll just add another post on it.
Mr. David Lee of Th’ Legendary Shack Shakers I just found out will be playing a show, so I’m excited to catch that. I saw Th’ Shack Shakers maybe six years ago and it was an amazing show. I have no idea what he’s going to be playing though, his myspace page is lacking in any music.
I’ve been debating the Mates Of State show. I’ve missed them the last few times they’ve come around and this time is on the pricier side. The opening act, Judgement Day might be interesting, but it’s nothing I’m that impressed with. Considering the amount of other things I need to be working on, this one is on the fence. Though, the new songs I’m hearing are pretty enjoyable. We’ll see.
There’s rumors going around that the Rx Bandits are playing, but there’s no official word on the matter. Portugal, The Man and Maps & Atlases would be opening the show. I’m almost certain it’s not going to happen. The Bandits’s straying from ska has caused me to lose some interest in the band. Not so much in their own sound which I still enjoy, but in the fact that they don’t seem to be a part of the ska community anymore. They’re playing with some experimental/indie whatever you want to call them, and last time they came around, they were touring with two hip-hop acts that at best just didn’t fit with them at all. It looks to me like they did some shift and the show isn’t happening. I don’t really mind, especially having seen them probably five or six times now.
Zolof is coming nearby too, it seems. I’m not that thrilled about it, but I might go because Robert will probably want to.
Psyopus is also having a show in a couple weeks where they’ll be filming video for a music video or dvd or something. Jason explained the whole thing to me, but I don’t really remember at this point. It’s free. August 20th. Be there.
