Cults some time in March

Who else is going to Atlas Sound tomorrow night? Please go. It's not my fault that place sucks at advertising. You'll have a good time, I promise.

12/13/2011 10:17:39 PM

debating on whether or not to see cults next month in DC

12/13/2011 10:22:35 PM

It's sold out, bro.

12/13/2011 10:36:29 PM

i'll be at atlas sound. really looking forward to it.

12/14/2011 6:14:33 AM

PC Worship tonight at Slim's

12/14/2011 4:02:59 PM

Not to be a negative nancy, but the first 2 acts for Atlas Sound were awful, and Atlas Sound was really, really boring; even for a Wednesday.

Also, I'm kind of a regular at that place and knew maybe 4 people. People watching was awesome, though. I never understood the Pitchfork sway on the younger crowds until tonight...

*note, I'm not saying anything about the music itself, but the way he presented it live tonight was just something I totally wasn't in the mood for. A really good example is "My Angel is Broken."

it makes me laugh that people call Neptune's a hipster bar after seeing the people at that Atlas Sound show. I never see anyone dressed that ridiculously at Neptune's. probably was mostly 18-21 year olds though. thought the Carnivores band was decent. except for hipster on the theremin. fuck that guy.

12/15/2011 10:39:10 AM

yeah its not normally like that. i feel like the show drew from the younger crowd that doesnt normally go out or something. two of those hipster chicks looked incredible though - the one with the tube dress and glasses, and the redhead. damn.

12/15/2011 12:11:45 PM

picked up tix to ak/fam at pour house today.

12/28/2011 6:46:56 PM

Love Language at Slim's January 1st.

12/28/2011 11:09:06 PM

Anyone going to the big picture shit tonight? I probably am

I'm Krallum and I approved this message

12/30/2011 10:14:34 AM

Not seeing any info on that ^^

12/30/2011 3:18:24 PM

Because it's supposed to be a "surprise."

12/30/2011 6:48:11 PM

Oh. Surprise!

12/30/2011 6:53:53 PM

It could be that Grohg band or whatever the hell.

12/30/2011 7:09:11 PM

Solution: get a drink at Slim's at 6-7, see who shows up to load in/what gear is loaded in.

12/31/2011 1:08:57 AM

looks like it's the love language

from etix

12/31/2011 10:11:51 AM

Yeah, etix is letting them down. I deduced from them playing in Wilmington the night before that they'd probably be coming back to play Slims or Kings the next day.

BIG SURPRISES

FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T LOGICAL

12/31/2011 5:52:09 PM

Oh wow, it's actually free. Also Gross Ghost and Last Years Men are playing.

12/31/2011 7:42:41 PM

i think Gross Ghost is having to cancel today.

if you paid for tickets on etix, like me, you'll get your money back at the show.

i think that also assures you at least get in the door, LOL

1/1/2012 11:49:18 AM

Anyone have a time for the show?

1/1/2012 2:31:53 PM

really wish i could make it to raleigh tonight for this.

1/1/2012 2:53:21 PM

Gross Ghost isn't play, as mentioned.

1/1/2012 2:55:00 PM

I'll be there, I'm just going to listen to libraries on my beats while they play though.

1/1/2012 3:15:25 PM

Do not sleep on Last Year's Men. They rule.

1/1/2012 4:05:29 PM

They

aren't playing. It's Left Outlet.

1/1/2012 4:09:09 PM

WELL SHIT

Now it's hammer no more the fingers lol

1/1/2012 6:50:18 PM

it's an audiophile dream come true!

1/1/2012 7:05:27 PM

Anyway, if anyone went to the show, please comment on whether the LL played any new songs, and whether you thought they were worth a damn. I feel like they played a new one during Hopscotch, but it was pretty meh...

1/2/2012 12:00:21 AM

was turned away at the door

I've been crying in bed since

1/2/2012 2:29:00 AM

If I remember correctly they played 2 new songs. I enjoyed them both, however they were both fast paced songs which are fairly easy to enjoy in a live setting, even if they aren't that good. I couldn't hear the lyrics very well at all, so I can't comment on that.

1/2/2012 4:37:10 AM

that was a damn good time.

i just effing woke up, too. damnit.

1/2/2012 1:33:20 PM

50 hand-numbered “special edition” copies of EP2 will be available for purchase at the show. Download codes will be included with each cassette.

Lakitu loves cassettes.

1/6/2012 12:13:41 PM

Anybody go to the Crooked Fingers show last night? I thought it was pretty solid, and I was stoked that he played Chumming the Ocean. I love that song. I can tell you where I was the first time I ever heard it...

Not trying to harp on this but the sound last night was great. However, when an engineer for North State tells me it sucks, I'm going to believe it sucks (talking about before)...

Akron & Fam tonight @ Pour House. Not sold out yet if you want to come be there at 8pm with 15 bucks tho

1/7/2012 6:25:37 PM

...

1/8/2012 2:49:07 AM

Ak/Fam was great.

1/8/2012 9:45:00 AM

They released the Coachella 2012 lineup, and it looks pretty awful in my opinion.

1/9/2012 7:39:06 PM

I haven't checked it but what are the highlights in your opinion?

1/9/2012 7:53:55 PM

^^Saturday night looks pretty amazing (Radiohead, The Shins, Bon Iver, Jeff Mangum, fIREHOSE, Godspeed, SBTRKT, Flying Lotus, Buzzcocks (!), Squeeze, etc.), but the only big acts I'd be interested in the other two nights are Pulp, M83, Mazzy Star, At The Drive-In, and Justice. Can't believe how atrocious Sunday night looks. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg as the headliner? Seriously?

[Edited on January 9, 2012 at 8:05 PM. Reason : d]

1/9/2012 7:56:33 PM

Totally agree with Saturday being the only night worth a damn. You really think the Buzzcocks are would be worth listening to these days?

Dr. Dre is going to be trying to sell Beats headphones the entire time, I guarantee.

[Edited on January 9, 2012 at 8:09 PM. Reason : k]

1/9/2012 8:06:48 PM

As long as they can play "Orgasm Addict" and "Ever Fallen In Love?" without falling over each other (in love), then yeah I think they'd be worth it. I see your point though, there is definitely potential for disaster given their age. There are some nice surprising names in the middle and towards the bottom of each day, but overall Friday and Sunday aren't very impressive.

^CALIFORNIAAAAA KNOWS HOW TO PARTY...the whole weekend is going to be a series of time warps, with Buzzcocks, Squeeze, Madness, etc. and Dre & Snoop on the lineup.

1/9/2012 8:12:20 PM

Just a part of the peanut gallery anyway. I had never planned to go.

1/9/2012 8:22:29 PM

Yeah same here. Too far away, waaaaaay too expensive when you figure flight + hotel/camping + ticket price. Way out of my price range. If I go to a major festival this year it'll be Bonnaroo again.

Here's the lineup:




[Edited on January 9, 2012 at 8:38 PM. Reason : lineup]

1/9/2012 8:29:47 PM

Looking at it again, I don't have any major issues with that lineup. I still say Saturday's the winner, though...
