Big Pink tickets

Last Thursday I ventured out of the apartment (I just can't seem to pry myself away from CSI these days, sad existence? Maybe.) and went to the Pig Bink and A Place to Bury Strangers show at First Avenue. First Avenue tickets were not as hot for this show, which was the Big Pink's second time in MPLS. Well, I guess I understand why. The show was only so-so. I honestly would not see them again. If they were opening for another band that I liked, I may consider it a plus, but I wouldn't outright seek these guys out again. The show was luke warm. That is the only way I have to describe it. I even thought that their third to last song was a Smashing Pumpkins cover, nope, not even close.

And lets not even get started on the opening band, A Place to Bury Strangers. Now, don't get me wrong, I have heard some of their jams on the Current and my beloved Sirius XMU station, I even thought a good part of the First Avenue tickets sold would be to fans of the A Place to Bury Strangers. I don't know if the band knows this or not, but they are not in Sonic Youth or the Jesus and Mary Chain. NO ONE gets away with that much feedback guys, NO ONE. The crowd on Thursday night was treated to 5+ minutes of feedback during EACH of their last two songs. I don't even feel old saying this, but that sucked. I covered my ears. I have been to hundreds of concerts and I have not done that once in my life, but Thursday nights A Place to Bury Strangers set called for it.

In other news, First Avenue tickets are sold out for Yeasayer ... a show that I am really looking forward to. But lets not forget First Avenue tickets are available for the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club show on Saturday - which is LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY. omg x a million! I can't wait. Stay tuned for several countdown posts this week. I haven't seen BRMC in over a year guys, I'm allowed to be a little excited.

She and Him tickets

She and Him are back in action! Zoey Daschenal is done honeymooning with her new hubby, Ben Gibbard and is ready with her bff M. Ward to tour in support of their new album, Volume 2. Original, I know, it is the following to the appropriately titled, Volume 1.

I am so excited. I have already bought my First Avenue ticket for this show. There is no doubt in my mind that First Avenue tickets will become a difficult item to find when there show finally rolls around on June 5th. I am glad this show is a little out there, I don't think I could possibly add another show to my concert set list in April!

My concert season officially begins this Thursday with the Big Pink and A Place to Bury Strangers. Surprisingly there are still First Avenue tickets available for this show. The Big Pink's last show at the 7th Street Entry was so super sold out. I thought that for sure they would sell out the main room no problem. Not to mention there is quite a bit of buzz surrounding A Place to Bury Strangers, they always attract a crowd as well.

See you at the shows! I can't believe I get to see Zoey Deschanel live, in person. Not to sound like a crazy person, but she seriously has the most angelic voice!
