Bit Brigade
Iron Maiden
Tonight I’m finally seeing @IronMaiden for the first time. All it took was for them to play two blocks from my apartment.
Night Birds
Palm
Pissed Jeans
Skepta
White Reaper
Whores
Metallica
A Metallica concert in 2017 is pretty unnecessary but I went anyway and my main takeaway was that Lars’s drums were purple and sparkly.
The Revolution
Wall-to-wall joy at the Revolution show tonight. I never got to witness the man himself, but I’m so glad I got to at least do this.
Tortoise
Creepoid
Megadeth
Tonight I got to see Megadeth play in a room a little bigger than my apartment and it was very very great.
Shellac
Shellac and Shannon Wright at the Bell House tonight. It was really really good.
Washboard Chaz Blues Trio
Corey Henry and the Treme Funktet
Don Kelley Band
Riot Fest
Tonight I saw the actual Misfits play a whole bunch of Misfits songs. My voice may never come back from this one.
Riot Fest
I wanted to share with y’all a video of The Hold Steady playing all of Boys and Girls in America front to back, but I was too busy dancing.
Riot Fest
Wolves in the Throne Room
Written documentation of last night’s Wolves in the Throne Room fan who solemnly held aloft a single invisible orange for several minutes.
Baroness
“Dude, you have orange earplugs! I hate orange. I like green!” says the smiling guy at this show with a novel approach to making friends.
The Muffs
Yeah, so @TheActualMuffs kicked all of the asses tonight, so wherever you are, if your ass is hurting, there it is.
Ex Eye
Josh Buckley
Napalm Death
The Tumble
Tortoise
Tortoise
Whores
Low
Enforcer
Low
Low
It’s been a shitty week, but luckily @lowtheband came to town tonight to wash off the muck.
Mutant Scum
Stevie Wonder
As Mondays go, it turns out that the one where you get to see a free, surprise Stevie Wonder show is a winner.
Failure & Hum
Contemporary Color
Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld
Refused
Iron Reagan
Faith No More
Stephin Merritt
Color me impressed that @ChamberMonster managed to keep a secret for 2+ months, and tonight we’re seeing Stephin Merritt!
