Live...Uh...Review: Man Man with Yeasayer at the Wex

So it has been getting pathetic how little effort I seem to be putting into these reviews. Also, this took place literally like almost two weeks ago. I've been unmotivated and apathetic due to the way school has been going this quarter. But, the concert rocked, and I think it should be shared. Anyway, I'm gonna post some pics/vids from the Yeasayer/ Man Man concert that took place at the Wex. Yeasayer was everything I hoped they would be, also really neat video in the background while they played. As for Man Man, I didn't know much about them going into the show, but I can honestly say they are (in the words of Zach) "Bat-Shit-Crazy"...in a good way. Lemme put it this way, you get quite the show for your money, whether you dig it or not. However, I didn't really get any good pictures of Man Man (besides the one above), it was hard to capture the essence of their show.

Here we go:

"2080" crazy...

I did manage to record most of their (single I believe) song "Sunrise", which was an amazing performance, check it out. Again, sorry for the consecutive half-ass write ups. I'll try and not make it a habit, but it has been a while, heh.



keep on keepin' on,

Best New Artist: Trunk Boyz...and OUAB Event Announced

Gotsta get me one dem scrapper bikez, lol. I think I see soulja boy! Ha, while I have your attention, and speaking of soulja boy, the OUAB spring concert event has been announced. MIA, Soulja boy and Holy Fuck will be gracing our humble OSU stage. Unfortunatley, I won't be able to make it. I think it's gonna be a pretty interesting show, heh. And, well, not to bash soulja boyz skills or anything, but at least you'll get to see Holy Fuck and MIA. I, on the other hand, will be in NYC where I'm currently trying to score some British Sea Power tickets.

Live...Uh...Review: The New Pornographers/ Okkervil River

Ok, so I have officially failed you all. It has been way to long since that New Pornos/ Okkervil River concert for me to make any sort of review. So I'll just try and sum it up and then show you guys a few pics and videos (which came out ok i guess). So Okkervil River opened and they had about an hour long set. Most of the songs were from their latest two albums The Stage Names and Black Sheep Boy. I had recently just got pretty deep into their discography, so this show couldn't had come at a better time. The band pretty much relies on their singers amazing voice, and he pretty much nailed it. A great performance.

Oh yeah, the video starts out a little shaky, but it settles down. You can thank the event security for that. They have never given me a hard time about my camera, but this time I had to sneak it.

Then the New Pornographers came on. They were what I thought they would be and I loved them for it. They played a bunch of songs and the whole place was a sing-a-long. 100% Grade A indie pop. Dan Bejar didn't make it due to the Destroyer tour I'm pretty sure. However, Neko was there and was excellent. Overall, if you're a fan, you'll love em. If you're just hearing some of the songs for the first time, I could see how they could get tiresome.

Once again, the video is a bit shaky in the beginning. Also, for some reason I stood on the balcony. Oh yeah, sorry for the half-ass write up.

I want a better camera,
tony

Live... Uh...Review: The Mars Volta Cancel Again

This is the sad photo I took of the police/event security telling people about the recently discovered news. As you may know, the mars volta show that was supposed to be last Friday on the 18th got cancelled again. People had been waiting there forever. I can understand one cancellation, but two is slightly ridiculous. I think the band could have done something a little more considerate since it was the second cancellation. Like maybe play an instrumental set or at least personally apologize. These guys are one of my favorite bands, don't get me wrong, but this kinda makes me lose a little respect for them. Hopefully when they reschedule (according to ticketmaster update), they can make up for it and then some. I'll be waiting, heh. In the meantime, hope they get better.

ugh,
