The band to see in 09' if you haven't already is Mastodon. Their new album "Crack the Skye" is easily the album I'm most eager to get my hands on this year and I'm hoping they'll do a show (or two ;-) in my area cause I'd love to see them again soon. They're great live.
Love your picture of Brent!
I'm looking forward to the album. You are not in Atlanta by chance are you? They are co headlining a metal festival here on Feb 28th (w/Nerousis) and it's going to be free. I too am looking forward to the new album!
As for the OP question. I have a short list of bands i never miss when they tour other then Pearl Jam:
Wilco
My Morning Jacket
Arcade Fire
These are my fav bands to see live.
Charlotte 00 Charlotte 03 Asheville 04 Atlanta 12 Greenville 16, Columbia 16 Seattle 18 Nashville 22 Ohana Festival 24 x2
Unfortunately I won't be in attendance at the free show on Feb. 28th as I live in Kitchener, ON. If I were you I'd definetly be going, I think on the show's website it says that the show goes from 12pm - 12am? All day 12 hour free concert with Mastodon headlining, how could you pass that up!
However, March 9th can't come soon enough. If you find a code (that hasn't been used up) for the free "Crack the Skye" t-shirt offer currently being promoted over at www.mastodonrocks.com send it my way will ya?
Thanks for the comment on my AV, I've only seen them twice thus far but I was three rows back from Brent each time. It's hard to pick between Brent's guitar playing ability and Brann's drumming as to which is my favourite part of the band. Since Brann autographed my poster after their show at the Koolhaus in Toronto, I'm going with him
The last PJ show I went to was the best PJ show ever, that is until they come around again of course
People should post examples if they can find them .... three you may not think of:
Going next weekend to see DeVotchKa yet again ... absolutely blew me away when they came through SF last April ... have to go see them again. Extremely talented group.
The last act I knew nothing about that completely melted my face off at first listen live, My Brightest Diamond ... she can belt! I was actually at this show, they opened for the Decemberists ... (did a killer cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" too!)
I have a few ideas of a couple of people i want to check out, but i need more options! Its starting to wear thin.. i will be in the tri state area for a while coming up so if anyone knows some local people who are decent, please let me know:)
I am seeing Social D at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA but I'm thinking you're pretty far away
I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...
The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED
So many bands i want to see.. i have a running list i tend to knock alot of in the next few months.. great responses, keep em coming, im definitely taking notes :geek:
i just got back from seeing los campesinos! at a small bar here...i think that they put on a really great show! nothing awe-inspiring, but a fun show i was dancing...and that's all i need to make me happy!!

And would go see Mike Patton in any shape and form...
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
One of the best shows i´ve seen last year.
You might get lost
