I've probably seen them live more than any other musical act. Boy did I have fun at their shows!

They’re doing a one-off show of their 1991-1994 line-up too!

I'm going to go see Midnight on 9/20 at St. Vitus in Brooklyn. Early 8pm start, perfect for middle-aged guys who can't stay up late anymore and need to work in the morning!

Went to Riot Fest on Sunday, caught whole sets from Gorilla Biscuits and The Cure along with bits of a few others bands. GB was pretty fun, about what I expected. The Cure was fantastic though. Robert Smith’s voice was perfect and he was in a great mood the entire time. Band was tight af too.

That's awesome! I'd love to see GB.

I saw the Cure back in the 90's (Wild Mood Swings tour, I think) and even though I didn't like them, they were well-rehearsed and sounded good.

I just saw The Mission, The Chameleons and Theatre of Hate (TOH succcccckkkked).

Tomorrow is Murphy's Law (my first time) with the Barstool Prophets and The Rumjacks.

Ughhhh! I hate shows getting cancelled at the last minute. That sucks. Hope it gets rescheduled for you.

Saturday night, me and my friend are going to see Wu-Tang Clan and Nas. It’s a bucket list show for him, and I figured why the hell not, since he didn’t want to go alone.

They played Toronto, they played London, they're playing Montreal. We're the only ones who got canceled. You have to drive past Kitchener to get to London from Toronto. WTF.

Well, after last night’s show, I can vouch that the Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothin’ to fuck with, and Nas did nothing to change my opinion on him.

De La Soul with Talib Kweli subbing in for Trugoy was hugely disappointing as the opener, they didn’t even do any full songs, just a medley that didn’t sound right due to Kweli not being a good stylistic fit.

The Wu had Young Dirty Bastard subbed in for his deceased father, and he did an awesome job.

The visual presentation of the show was awesome, video walls on and above the stage with some killer visuals for Wu-Tang, but the audio mix was SHIT. It was like packing your ears with mud. Maybe it was the world-renowned shitty accoustics of the Saddledome, but it wasn’t good.

I still had a blast, though.

The Seattle show on October 18th is streaming for free on Amazon Prime, so check it out if you’re into hip hop.

Grabbed tickets for Punk Rock Bowling this coming May because the lady has Madness and DEVO on her bucket list. I've never seen Madness (though I'm not a big fan or anything) and I've seen DEVO, but this is a good chance to get some classics like Subhumans, Stiff Little Fingers and 999 out of the way.
