BLOG-EIGHTY - SHOWS LEADING UP TO THE FEST
What do your show agendas leading up to the fest look like? The summer/early fall circuit already seems to be booming.
Have often wondered how many people, that attend FunFunFun, end up getting to see a band twice in a year. Or who doesn't see certain bands along their tour because they know they're going to see them at the fest?
So far have acquired tickets for Mayhem Fest, Adam Ant, Riot Fest and David Byrne & St. Vincent. Need to secure FFF tickets, STAT.

I only have Peter Gabrial set up for September. I want to make GVBII at the end of the month but not sure if I will have the coin at that time.

THRILL KILL KULT!!!!! Man, I've seen them 3 or 4 times, I'll have to look that one up and try to hit it! Always a sucker for the old Waxtrax bands... :) I'll look for ya, MS!
Dang, Bonnie, that's quite the list! I don't have diddly squat on my musical shows list. I do have some flying lessons and stock car laps to take care of before they expire at the end of the year. :)

I end up passing on alot of shows due to school/work obligations, unfortunately (mostly school, really)... like Riot Fest & that cool little fest that went down in Houston a month or so back (Free Press). But, I'm still managing to get a few cool ones in this year.
In the last few months I've seen Social Distortion, Riverboat Gamblers (a few times), Flogging Molly & Meatloaf (that was pretty damn cool). Of course there are always the cool local bands here & there (hey, I got to see my kids play twice in one week recently!), but the upcoming shows I'm REALLY looking forward to are Motley Crue/KISS in August & Blondie/DEVO in Sept, followed by Thrill Kill Kult a few weeks later.
And I'm still holding my breath, crossing all my fingers (& toes) & lighting every candle in the cathedral in the hopes that Gogol Bordello will magically appear in Austin sometime soon (perhaps even at FFF?).

Not sure I know I will be seeing the Aggrolites next Friday which I'm looking forward to, that will be the 13th time seeing them combined between home in CA and here in TX. I never know who is playing or when.
