Been doing this a bit. Then the ferryboat closed down. It’s harder now.

Seattle has a pretty awesome live music scene. I’m hoping Vegas has a decent music scene as well. Who knows? I don’t. I don’t anything about this city. Why am I moving there? Oh right, for the party scene and whores. I almost forgot.

I have been doing this recently but only local bands. Or at least bands playing locally. Me and my brother have styarted putting on gigs as Fugitive Promotions. We put on The Riverclub the other day and next month will be Across Five Aprils, our first international band and one of my personal favourites. It’s tough to pull in the croweds though. We’re making a profit overall but I don’t know how long that will last for.

I don’t exactly know how many “more” is. I will cross this off as completed when I go to 3 more gigs of bands I haven’t seen before. I have Feeder planned in march (not my idea, being dragged along by a friend) but that still counts right?

support! catching a few good ones :O)

So I was gonna book Across Five Aprils to play but it was gonna cost £800 so I don’t think we would have come close to making our money back. I’ll go and see them in Lond though. But supporting The Hurt Process. Boring.

Also tickets sold out of the Kerrang tour thing. Grrr. Might eBay it up.

But Bear Vs Shark are plaing The Ferryboat. They were suppsoed to play there before but the European tour got cancelled. The thing is they’re my exs favorite band but she might bring her new boyfrind if she comes which I don’t want. And whenever she came to gigs before with me she always ruined it.

Bu Taking Back Sunday are playing the UEA. Wooooo! Hanna said she’d come whith me.

Yeah, tickets for Panic! sold out. Roe better not have got herself a ticket without telling me.

The Decemberists have been one of those bands that keep coming to town, and something always comes up and I never get to see them. So on November 1st (wow, this entry is LATE) I finally went with my friend Brita to the McDonal Theatre to see the Decemberists. The tickets were pretty cheap and I figured it wouldn’t be too bad. At the time I went because I thought the music was okay, but mostly to go with Brita.

OH. EM. GEE. Both NW and ‘Cemberists put on a FABULOUS live show. There was so much energy and all of it positive. Colin, the front man for the ‘Cemberists, is an absolute HAM on stage, and it’s so much fun. It’s like watching your friend’s garage band playing around, but the music is better. Everybody seems like they’re friends, and they’re always smiling and laughing.

For example, Petra, who does violin, had a long solo in one of the songs. She was loving it and kept dragging it out, and suddenly, out of nowhere, she starts playing the Star Wars theme. Colin looks over at her and gives her this look like “What the HELL are you doing?!” When she did it again, Colin walked over to some of the other musicians and starts making gestures like “Can you believe this? WTF?”

Personally, I like what Neighborhoodies said about the Decemberists the best: “Somewhere in a hot-air balloon up above the ocean, Colin Meloy is planning the world’s first pirate-themed chamber-pop opera—of this, I am convinced.” And it’s so true…
