I want to check out a new localmetal.com band ever

[Pierce Brosnan]

Every weekend, I'd like to go to a different local show.
I never know who is playing.  In order to find out when a band is playing, you've got to go to the bands web site.  Nobody wants to fuck around with that.  You need a list of shows for all the bands on one page.  A concert calendar.  I've got one of those calendars on this site.  You can enter all your shows on your own.

Post your shows on the calendar!!!!!

If I can find the shows, I'll post which one I'll be going to for that weekend.  Then I'll post what I thought of the bands.

Oh shit.  This is the first time I checked the board today.  Busy day at work.  I just got back from our company picnic thing.  I've got to wait for my chick to get here before I can go out.  I'm getting a late start tonight.  Hope there's still music going on when I finally make it out.  

We need bands to post shows on the calendar.  If they want to post them on the board too, that's cool.  Copy and paste.  Do both.

I went to the 99 Custer street show.  I didn't make it out till about 9pm.  It was pretty cool.  Driving down Custer street, we were looking for the house.  At first, I thought the show was over already or someone was fucking with me.  Swinging back around by the house again, we rolled down the windows and hear some music.  We parked the car, and went in.  This one band from Boston with a guy and a girl singer was playing.  Kids were going nuts down there.  It was crazy.  Taking a closer look at the place, I noticed that the basement was extreemly small.  It was a good crowd, but down there it looked packed.  I missed At all costs, but I did get to meet them.  Very nice guys.  They're playing next weekend at Volkers bowling alley.  They might also be playing The Cruise inn on the 18th.  Anyways, I cought a good chunk of the show.  All the bands were fast and intense, and the crowd was just crazy.  I'd like to have a show in a basement.  Anyone want to donate their basement?

I also went down the JAL showcase last night at club 101.  I got there right when Lurid finished.  Then some Weezer, Rolling Stone, surfer type band went on.
Besides not being my thing, the sound was too fucking loud.  It was just anoying.  So my group of people went out side for a bit to hang out.  The next band that went on, the JAL guy said they were like a Deftones sounding band.  So, Im thinking that wouldn't sound too bad.  We were outside and heard them come on.  They were just a bunch of rockers.  No chunk, no screaming.  Again another style I could do without.  I wanted to see Downcast, but everyone was getting tired and they had to get up early in the morning, so we had to take off.  Sorry Downcast, keep everyone posted about your up and coming shows.  Use the concert calendar.


Everyone always hears me say, "Stick around for the whole show.  Support the other bands".  I'm talking about bands that belong on that bill.  JAL, and ESI shows are always a mixture.  There's some other clubs that do mixtures too.  These mixtures are extreem.  That's why these shows usually suck, because when a band that nobody wants to see at show comes on, everyone leaves.  It's an asshole thing to do, but come on.  If you're there for hardcore, or something else intense, and some Alternative rock band or some funk driven band goes on, you're going to be pissed off and leave.  People have got to start setting up better shows.
Being selective is always a good thing.  There's nothing wrong with giving new bands a chance.  Just put them in with similar styles.

Sorry I never got back to anyone on the time we went on. It was like 12:30 [ 2cnd ] to last. It was a good show though.
