Upcoming concerts you're going to

Jux and I are will be attending SEVENDUST on March 21st (with RED, a pretty cool band, check them out www.myspace.com/dropofred ) ...

How about the rest of you? Any cool concerts you plan to go to?

I'm at target and movie toys are lame

Toadies - March 12th

I really dunno how big they got on a national level, but they were a pretty big deal in Texas. They broke up in 2001ish but pop up for a reunion every now and then. They're doing 4-5 shows only in Texas. The first one in Austin sold out so fast they added a second. I haven't seen them since '99 when they played the final show at Liberty Lunch, a famed Austin music spot that got bulldozed in the name of 'progress.'

I remember the Toadies from when I lived in Houston. When I moved away, I didn't hear about that that much, but I never thought it was due to regional constraints.

I heard about the Toadies. But they disappeared. Guess your explanation would suffice why I hadn't heard about them in awhile.

Kicky you lucky dog! I freaking LOVE Red. Saw them live last year and they put on an amazing show. Definitely keep your eyes on the twins, they are insane!

The upcoming concerts that I will be attending are:

March 12th - Kutless w/ Stellar Kart
March 23rd - Portable Sounds Tour w/ TobyMac, Thousand Foot Krutch, Building 429 and Family Force 5


And in August there is the Rock the Light Festival. The bands that are going for sure, Family Force 5 and TobyMac. Hopefully I can snag some All Access Passes again.

I heard Sevendust totally blew Slayer away in Providence, RI the other night. As people described it, "Louder and heavier than Slayer could even approach, crowd did 2 encores" and so forth.

RED is a late, late addition to the tour. Two weeks ago it was two crappy bands that have no following. RED is a nice addition, I'll have to grab their CD when I get the opportunity.

There was also the fact that there was a friggin' 7 year gap between the first and second album. They toured almost entirely on the strength of '94s Rubberneck for years, with a new songs popping up here and there and at their shows before Hell Below/Stars Above dropped in 2001. Not long after that, they broke up.
They were friggin' everywhere for a while. When they weren't opening for bigger acts, they were touring regionally a lot with Tripping Daisy, Reverend Horton Heat and other Texas bands. I probably saw them seven or eight times in a 5-6 year span. Now it's been almost 8 years since I saw 'em last. Evidently quite a few other people are itching to see them again...that second Austin show sold out almost immediately. O_o


Anyway...I'm also planning to see What Made Milwaukee Famous on March 4 and, if I can get the damn night off, Calla on 3/21.

That's really cool to hear that Sevendust blew Slayer away! Red is a great touch and they rock hard as well. Definitely do, I highly recommend their cd.

I liked what Red had on MySpace. I'll have to check them out a bit more.

man i just missed muse playing a local gig, on the 25th.

sad, sad, sad
