It's been a slow year for me, I only went to 5.
Cannibal Corpse/ Behemoth
Fallujah
1349
Napalm Death
Shponlge
Best was probably Cannibal Corpse/ Behemoth
Shpongle wasn't the worst it was just the least good.
1349 was definitely the most fun.
Cannibal Corpse/ Behemoth had the best crowd (it also had the biggest)
Shpongle was my least favorite crowd but Napalm Death's crowd was the worst coz almost no one was there (to be fair it was a Tuesday).

Brotzmann was doing improv jamming with a local Irish musican (Paul G Smyth) which really didn't work well at all, Brotz just jammed over him in the end and it was much better. Stetson/Neufeld was incredible, I'd seen Stetson solo already but was blown away all over again. He did tend to dominate her sound wise but it did work.
But to go see Jeff Mangum and the milk hotels.

AJJ were fantastic at the show I went to

How was the fallujah concert? Been listening to those guys a fair bit lately and I must say they're pretty relaxing.

>>55501997
You've only ever been to 2 shows? How?
Word of warning, Best Coast are fucking terrible live and the singer's a cunt. Built to Spill are a god-tier live band though.
I go to shows like 4 nights a week
>>55502115
She was alright. I dont like pop punk or whatever style they were playing though.
You're so fucking lucky to live in a place where you can easily go to see concerts from good artists ;_;
