Spring concerts

[desh]

As always, only going to go to a handful of these, but here's what I'm considering now:

Thursday March 1: Eddie From Ohio @ World Cafe Live (ehhh...not feeling it.)
Sunday March 4: Cracker @ World Cafe Live
Thursday March 8: Of Montreal @ The Troc
Saturday March 17: Girlyman @ Sellersville Theater
Tuesday March 27: The Decemberists @ The Tower
Thursday March 29: Cold War Kids @ First Unitarian Church (except it's sold out...)
Wednesday April 18 Thursday March 22: Rodrigo y Gabriela @ E Factory
Thursday April 26: Erin McKeown @ Sellersville Theater
Tuesday May 15: Mountain Stage @ Keswick
Saturday June 2: Roger Waters @ The Wachovia Center
Saturday June 2: The Nields @ World Cafe Live (but it's so hard to get to Saturday concerts this time of year...)

And the first group for Folk Fest this summer showed up on Pollstar: The Mammals!

Looks like March is a solid month, but the rest of the spring is iffy. Maybe things will improve later. So, if you're interested in any of these, let me know.

Not feeling EFO???

*is listening to their School House Rock medley*

I've never seen them live before, and I'm a bit under the weather now. Today just doesn't feel like a concert day to me.

Understandably, feeling sick is usually a good excuse for not dealing with a concert. But if you get an opportunity at some point to see EFO live, go. They're pretty good. Also, their drummer is pretty ridiculous (in a good way). Seemingly they usually have this massive drum solo where the guy plays a whole bunch of drums quite expertly. It's hard to describe, but it's pretty entertaining. I don't usually go for big solos, but this one is worth watching and listening to.

EDDIE HARTNESS! OFFICIAL DRUMMER OF THE 2002 OLYMPICS!

Eddie's drum solos are orgasmic.

And EFO live is fantastic. Desh, seriously, if not now, you must see them soon.

Yay! I'm a dude!

Obviously I meant "dude" in the gender-neutral sense. Not that you can tell on the internet anyway. I tend to believe that most people who I talk to online, unless I know for certain otherwise and even if (ESPECIALLY if) they claim they are women, are men.

DECEMBERISTS! WOOT!

Oh, and Mere and Lucky are going to Of Montreal, you knew that, right? You should keep an eye out for them there if you go.

[desh]

Did not know that.

EFO IS AMAZING! And I can't go so someone obviously has to go in my place! Stupid Thursday shows and midterms that get in the way.

see of montreal! they're from my current town of residence.

forget the decemberists. they've jumped the shark, in my opinion.

[desh]

I'll see Of Montreal because I want to, not because you suggested it. Why? Because your Decemberists comment just made you lose all credibility for me. Their newest album is one of my 10 favorites ever.

their showmanship/ concert quality is on the down turn. mark my words, desh!

[desh]

Okay, that I'll buy. They didn't have enough energy when I saw them in concert in Novemberish. They were good, but not great. But the music is so good that I don't care!
