Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know

So the Yeah Yeah Yeahs show is this Saturday and I think I may head over and check out the show after I go to the 2009 Beerfest by the Basilica. Tickets for Beerfest are a little steep, but I think it sounds like a lot of fun. There are over 200 vendors there this year, which is why they had to change their location from Uptown to downtown. After that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be playing a very sold out show at First Avenue. As I'm sure you know, First Avenue tickets for this show are sold out through the First Avenue box office and Ticketmaster. But if you know where to look, I am sure you can find some!



Are you going to the show? Or perhaps Beerfest? Let me know, my lovely roommate, Sara, and I will be down there all afternoon! Unfortunately I don't think Landfill will be making an appearance at the show :( I believe you can buy your tickets for Beerfest

Techno godfathers return!

Exactly one week after my beloved Third Eye Blind concert there will be another big show in town at First Avenue. I am talking about the Crystal Method. The LA based group gained popularity in the later 90's around the same time as their European cohorts, the Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk. Simply put they are DJs, but fantastic at what they put together.
Since their release of Vegas in 1997, the duo have not really taken a break from recording and releasing albums. They have also done a lot of producing for other artists and recordings for soundtracks. The Crystal Method are currently touring in support of their new album, "Divided by Night" which was released on the 12th of this month.
First Avenue tickets for this show are still available, I think the show would sell better if it were on a Saturday night. Which I think it should be considering it would be AWESOME to have The Crystal Method DJ at First Avenue's Too Much Love event on Saturday. But I understand, bands have to save Saturdays for bigger markets like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.

I'll see you at the show!

Nostalgia report: Third Eye Blind!

Remember Third Eye Blind? You know the 'do do do do do do do do do da do' song that was all about a semi charmed life, but in reality was all about doing Crystal Methamphetamine (many people don't believe me, but I challenge you to look up the lyrics on lyrics.com!)
Anywho, Third Eye Blind's self titled debut was released when I was in 7th grade. In fact, it was one of the first cds that I bought with my very own money, my babysitting money that I earned, not even the money that my mom gave me. I listened to it so much that I had to buy another copy. I had the gray album cover version AND the red album cover version. There were far better songs on it than 'semi charmed life' such as 'losing a whole year' 'graduate' and 'jumper.' All of course involved subject matter far too mature for a 13 year old to really understand, but I loved it anyways.

Sunday, May 31st, 2009 Third Eye Blind will be at First Avenue, it is an 18+ event. Shouldn't be a problem considering I was probably one of their youngest fans back in the day and I'm now 24, I doubt there will be a lot 16 year old Fall Out Boy fans wanting to buy First Avenue tickets for this show. But I will be there! I am getting guest listed so I get to go for free (thank you Joe!). I can't wait to hear all of my favorite jams and all of the new ones that I won't know.

Totally Sold Out!

How sad am I that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is sold out?! It sold out in like a day!!!
I should have seen this coming, but I'm short on cash so I wanted to wait until the day of the show was a little closer. First Avenue tickets for this show are hard to come by and not going to be easy to find!
I even bought the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album awhile back and I thought that they may be touring, I just had no idea it would be so soon and with such short notice.
First Avenue tickets for this show went on sale a couple of Saturdays ago, and I heard that by Sunday Ticketmaster was sold out. I am hoping that I can mooch off of a friend that has a First Ave connection because I really want to go! Hopefully this time around Karen O will be coherent enough to remember the words to the songs - last time she was too shwasted to remember any of them!

(hopefully) See you at the show!
