Live Acts You're Most Looking Forward To

[goroth]

Behemoth and Abbath were fucking awesome.
Entombed was Entombed. Beer/d-beats/mid-tempo groove. LG looking disheveled.
Perfect.

METZ were killer yet again. It was a church basement show and they had fancy mics attached to all the drums/cymbals, to the side of the guitar cab, etc. There was a dude that messed with em a little during the show a bit, too. I really hope they recorded that shit.... Also back at the mixer there was two boards of pedals all running through keymasters, and a little modular set up, which I believe was for some in between song noise. Mmmph.

I love METZ. Where was the show? I have to see them & Lightning Bolt. Maybe the Philharmonic if it weren't so damn expensive.

Twas at the Unitarian Church in Philly. Perfect vibe for that show. First time I saw then was with lighting bolt which was a great pairing.



Also, Flying Lotus live was transcendent.

[D.o.S.]

... Torche is opening for Kvelertak?

what?

[goroth]

Gorguts, Psycroptic, Dysrhythmia and Nero Di Marte.

6 weeks and counting!

[D.o.S.]

Guys its 2016 and I get to see Scissorfight at Great Scott.

(but no Iron Lung. Lame.)

Reeeeeeeeeally hoping I can catch DMB on their 25th Anni tour in NH in July.

Show starts at 10 fucking AM. Gonna be legendary. Bet the set list is fucking endless.

[D.o.S.]

case, bb, you're joking, right?

[goroth]

Maybe he means MDF, and by July he means May.

Though the lineup this year is crap. Except for MDF, Netherlands edition (obviously next step for a Maryland based festival...).
That lineup is very good for the most part.

[deusexmaxima]

finally going to check melt-banana off the list

[casecandy]

case, bb, you're joking, right?

No. Didn't we talk about how we both love jam bands but you're more Umphree's McGee, I'm more Bela Fleck & The Flecktones? I know we did. We both love The Dead and then veer off in opposite directions.

Dave Matthews hate is the cheapest kind of hate.

[D.o.S.]

Um I don't like Umphrees (I'm more partial to the Disco Biscuits) but I see the analogy. I feel like you're just arguing against the earth being round re: DMB not being a smouldering pile of shit, Which makes you B.O.B.?

Also does this mean you're done with school vaca or whatever and are back to be a pestilence regularly?

I love DMB and it's really okay that I do, and that you don't. Purely personally, I don't see why people think he's "a smouldering pile of shit," and Under The Table and Dreaming and, to a lesser extent, Crash are like soul food for me. Great songwriting, great vocals, great musicianship. The band is so tight and yet manages not to show off or jam for jamming's sake. I especially like the more guttural stuff, "Halloween," "Don't Drink The Water," it's like a gut-punch for me, listening to that stuff. I get right into it.

As for your second question, I've been back from "vacay" since January 5th and posting regularly, too.

And I agreed with you on so much stuff! Like... Star Wars, I remember agreeing on that. And you didn't even fucking care.

[D.o.S.]

2016 is a new year.

[D.o.S.]

Hey speaking of jam bands I think I'm going to catch Phish this summer.

Fuck the haters I'm going to meedley moop skeedly doop like a butterfly.

[casecandy]

You fucking go, breaux!

Let the record show that D.o.S. mocked me for merely wanting to attend DMB and then confirmed he is actually going to Phish.

I love Phish when I'm in the mood for Phish, but I'll admit I don't really know them.

What record do you recommend starting with?
