I've been going to see a low of shows lately. For some reason I don't consider them to be concerts, but hey, seeing bands live is seeing bands live. My new thing is to go see hxc shows...even though I'm not into the scene at all. I'm not a big hxc fan, but the more shows I go to the more I warm up to it. I could never ONLY listen to hardcore music though.
I used to HATE when people would go to shows just for the sake of going to shows (a friend of mine went to see BNL recently when she doesn't even really like them), but now... I guess it's not so bad when you're not spending $10+ to see a band. Or bands. Especially underground hardcore bands.
Last night I went into Boston to see some bands play @ Emerson College, who were NOT hardcore bands, hahaha. The first band, , was pretty chill; the lead singer had a fuckload of energy and he had a good voice. Second was Haven't Talked Since; they were OKAY but they had the pop punk/mall punk sound going on and they didn't really appeal to me.
The last band that played, , the reason why I even went to the show, was simply amazing. I've seen them twice now and they don't STOP being amazing. They have a stand-up bass <3.
Make sure to click those links and check out some MP3s, especially ones @ the Lido Venice site. Just keep clicking the picture in the middle until you come to a set of lyrics that has a seperate "DOWNLOAD" link at the bottom. They only have 3 mp3s up so far; Dancing Our Duress, Malpractice Makes Perfect, and Ricepaper Wings.[/b]
