MBV / Detour / Rancid
By Pault on October 6th, 2008So we just heard about this blogging thing so we thought we’d give it a try.
First up:
My Bloody Valentine - Santa Monica Civic aka MBV@SMC. This is the 3rd time I’ve seen them on this tour. The volume was bone crushing even before they got to “you made me realize”, even louder than the Roxy and Palace shows in ‘92. Seems like new speaker technology has made things so much clearer. spoke to Kevin for a bit, haven’t seen him since last year, great to see that they were even better now.
Had a blast at Detour, loved Buraka Som Sistema (looks like they’ll play Coachella which is confirmed for April 17, 18 & 19), Presets and others were great also, more on that later..
Stopped by Rancid for the last of six nights, love anything Tim Armstrong does.
Wished I could have promoted an Op-Ivy show when they were around…..

I’m liking what I hear from Buraka Som Sistema. I hope I get a chance to check them out sometime. MBV too…

Wait a minute, are you going to be subtly announcing who’ll be playing Coachella on here frequently?
And are any of them going to start being, like, good bands?

Randy, don’t you have anything better to do than pester Paul about a concert that is more than 6 months away? Go clean your room!

For the love of God, please, please, PLEASE get Asobi Seksu to play next year. Totally reasonable and easy enough of an act to book and they’re so awesome!
