I went to see Matt & Kim on Saturday night. The opener was a trio of kids called Beach Goons and they were fucking awesome.
Really cool mix of surf rock, punk rock, 90s alt rock, and some 50s-ish guitar rock.
Will check this out -- sounds right up my alley!
One of my favorite indie artists, Matt Maltese, has a new album out today. I'm on my 3rd listen already -- check it out!
Previous gems:
Tagging Poch since he's enjoyed him in the past!
New U.S. Girls album out March 6th. New single/video here. Definitely gonna try going to their show in LA.

I'm not as lttp as you but I need to give more time to Nick Cave and the bad seeds
I wanted to link the all set but I seem that they remove it
New Enter Shikari album is out April 17th. Not sure where to post this info since their music is... a clusterfuck now. Spark Part 2 from their Instagram teasers and album cover. Oh boy.
What are your guys thoughts on showing up to shows late?
I want to go see PUP but I may not be able to get there until maybe an hour after the doors open. I think I would only miss the opening act, but if that's a dick move I won't go.
Heavily disagreed. Seen plenty of shows where the opening act ended up being the best thing of the night. Of course it is worth going for just the headliner alone but don't sleep on the supports people!lol no, opening acts are boring anyway. The only good one that I remember was a girl, before Fever Ray, who was using a strap-on.

That's really closed minded. Everybody has to start somewhere and if nobody went to see them in the early days your favourite bands today might not even exist.lol no, opening acts are boring anyway. The only good one that I remember was a girl, before Fever Ray, who was using a strap-on.
Definitely go! PUP are a good time live. I'd say about half the shows I go to I usually miss the openers. I usually only make an effort to see all the bands if for some rare occasion I like all the bands playing.What are your guys thoughts on showing up to shows late?

at the very least it's not rude to go to a show late or leave early or whatever.
but if you really going to get there an hour after doors open, i doubt you'll have missed anything. that said it looks like pup is touring w/ screaming females who are great.
I just went on a wild ride from this. Looked up the Cincy show on Ticketmaster/Stubhub and it had already sold out and scalpers have pushed the secondary market up by an extra $100. Then I went to Foxy's own webpage to see if they're going to do a second run and saw they're actually opening for Vampire Weekend here in Columbus on an extension of a tour that I wasn't paying any attention to because I had bought my ex and I tickets to the Philly show before we broke up last year and ended up giving her both of them! So I'm 100% in for that. I'm over her enough now, I'll definitely be good come September.
So this is happening. Hopefully there will be a full on tour with europe included!
Its really fantastic. I've been a fan of King Gizzard for a while but their prior ablum Fishing for Fishies was a little too "jam band" to stick with me. I had no idea this was coming so shortly after and it really reignited the little metalhead in my soul. Currently seeking some other contemporary thrash, I don't like cookie monster vocals so options seem to be limited.This thrash album King Gizzard made is my first exposure to them but good god is it great. Probably my favorite record of the year so far. I had it on repeat three times at work today and I'm listening to it again at home now.
