The Faint show was awesome!

Due to being a little short on cash this month, I decided to go to the Faint show at First Avenue instead of the super sold out Coldplay show at the Xcel Energy Center. If you were looking for Xcel Energy Center tickets for the Coldplay show you were probably having to look far and wide for tickets - the show has been sold out since it went on sale at the beginning of the summer!
However, First Avenue tickets for the Faint were still around on Friday, but I got in for free!
I love having friends that can do cool favors like that for you.

The Faint played a great show! I didn't get to hear 'Southern Bells in London' - which is one for my favorite jams. They also played 'Paranoia Attack,' 'Drop Kick the Punks,' and 'Glass Dance.'
The band is so much fun to see live because they put a lot of energy into the show and actually look like they want to be playing music and are not up there simply because they have to.
Its a rare occasion that they come to down (which is sad considering they live only in Omaha, NB).



Next up at First Ave: I'm going to Darker My Love this Friday night at the 7th Street Entry!
I can't wait!

Tough Decisions

This Friday twin cities music fans will have a difficult decision to make: to see the Faint or to see Coldplay? Coldplay has a nearly sold out show at the Xcel and the Faint have a show at First Avenue.
Xcel Energy Center tickets for Coldplay are insane! There has not been a great ticket released yet within the first 10 rows of the floor and very few in sections 102 and 118. I am positive that Ticketmaster is holding onto all the good ones until the last minute!
First Avenue tickets for the Faint will definitely sell out, they haven't been here in a really long time and they sell out every time they are in town! I've seen the Faint just about everytime they've been in town and I've even taken a road trip to Milwaukee to see them. They are just a super fun band to go and dance to.

If you're looking for great Coldplay tickets - good luck! I've been looking and I haven't been finding, but if you act fast you can still get Faint tickets!

So did anyone make it to Girl Talk last night for the super sold out show at First Ave. There was not a First Avenue ticket to be found for the show. The only way you could have gotten in to the show is if you knew someone that could get you on the list. First Avenue tickets have been difficult to find these past few days. Atmosphere was on Sunday and that was sold out, you had to know a guy who knows a guy just to get in! Even the Halloween party on Friday was sold out. I went their early enough to get in, but around 12:30 they stopped letting people in that didn't have a pre bought because First Ave was wayyyy over capacity!

I just found out that one of my new favorite bands, Darker My love, will be headlining a show at the 7th Street Entry at the end of the month. First Avenue tickets for this show will not be as difficult to find as Atmosphere or Girl Talk, but the show will be better! I love these guys!
