Ok, so this isn't really a Valentine's Day concert calendar. But it's too late to call it a New Year's Concert Calendar, so you'll just have to put up with it.

Since I posted my last 2014 concert capsules I've only been to two concerts. It's not great, but I've been busy. At least the two concerts were pretty good ( Read more... )

It's only been a week since my last concert calendar, which normally holds me for a few months, but in that week there have been a ton of concert announcements so I'm going to take them in here and then update my original post to have it all in one place. Here we go ( Read more... )

The gaps between my concert calendars keep getting longer. I think this may be because I've really been digging into the new music shelf at the station, so I haven't been relying as much on the calendar to go my radio show. Or maybe I've just been busy.

It's been nearly two months since my last concert calendar, but I've somehow only made it to four shows in that time ( Read more... )

It's cold and miserable out, which partially explains why yesterday I went to my first concert of the year. Back in 2012, my second favorite show of the year was Galactic. Last night I caught them at the Beachland Ballroom for my first show of 2014. Yes, it took me 42 days to see a show in 2014. Don't judge me. Anyway, Galactic put on an excellent ( Read more... )

2013 has come to a close after 38 mostly awesome concerts. Can 2014 top it? Let's see what's coming to town. As always, bold means I am going, italics that I am more than usually interested.

JanuaryR 1/02 - Sophistafunk @ Beachland Tavern. A national touring funk act for free? Maybe they aren't very good. Maybe it's a good excuse to drink some ( Read more... )

That has been our one significant success to this date: we are the longest-lasting, most disastrous commercial outfit to ever appear in rock 'n' roll. No one can come close to matching our loss to longevity ratio.

And on that note, let's start a new concert calendar. Bold means I am going, italics that I am more than ( Read more... )
