Two shows you dont want to miss....

The Music on Feb. 18th and Soundtrack of our Lives on March 21st

GREAT live bands bursting with talent and energy and 2 of the best shows Ive seen at the 930 club.

The Music have a sound all of their own. Dance metal with a combination of Stone Roses and Led Zeppelin. The singer has one of the best voices out there.

TSOOL are a throwback. Pretty much straight ahead rock and roll. Combination of the Doors and The Who. Their last album was amazing and put on a great show in '03.

Anyway, just my .02. Bored at work thinking about those shows…

Couldn't agree more.

Now if it were TSOL at the Black Cat, you'd be on to something.

Soundtrack of Our Lives are great.

The Dears are opening. I don't know them, but they are from Montreal and, therefore, must be cool. D'accord?

they opened for broken social scene and stars last year, i thought they were pretty boring, others seem to like them lately

In a decade of going to SXSW - the dears were the worst show I've seen.

50 shows per festival
10 years
500 shows
Dears = worst
Therefore Dears = one painful band

I saw their singer (who looks like a gorilla) puking in the Black Cat bathroom, then walking away claiming that he had "food poisoning".

Perhaps he had been stung by a scorpion.

I thought the dears were alright. I have certainly seen much, much worse.

If anyone wants to keep partying after The Music gig is over on Friday Feb. 18th, come to Zucchabar for SACCHARINE - we'll be open until 3 a.m. :)

agreed … BSS blew the roof off though, amazing, dwarfed the recent arcade fire show …

I wasn't at the Arcade Fire show, but I highly doubt they were worse than Broken Social Scene.

were you at either show??

im my humble opinion, broken social scene was much better than the arcade fire.

i agree with this.

and for those looking to expand their horizons:

los amigos invisibles @ the black cat 3/18

i'd rank their show last november right up there with the BSS/stars show.

I was at the Broken Social Scene show, and it did nothing for me.

Seems like about half the people on this board thought that they were great, the other half thought they sucked.

Probably because you left before they took the stage:

i thought, in particular, the performance of "anthem for a seventeen-year-old girl" was just jaw-dropping … emotionally blew away anything the arcade fire did … and i did like the arcade fire show …

Thanks for having a better memory of my life than I do.

Fantastic…I've been wanting to check out the Dears (just from reading about them – not in the NY Times, in Magnet a ways back). I'm definitely hitting this show. Will there be a presale, ya think, ya think??? :D

Ah, I was at that show, missed the Dears. Hadn't heard of them yet, so spaced they were there….one day I'll learn to get to a show in time for the opener, but sometimes it's hard to leave the Red Room (or my apt!).

That is the best burn I've seen in… a long while. Nice one!
