Queens of the Stone Age basically just burnt RVA to the ground. Holy god, show of the year contender.

So awesome. That hour and a half fucking flew by. They played Better Living Through Chemistry and Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret. So happy!

Yeah, agreed. They hadn't been playing Lost Art on this tour, according to setlist.fm, and its my favorite song by them so I was hyped when they played it. The second half of that show, from Little Sister thru the end was straight up amazing.

Turnin On The Screw was so awesome. I was trying to remember the whole set list, but I'm sure I can find it online. I definitely thought they were going to come on at 9 or 930. We got up on the balcony and found 2 seats, were sitting for about 15 minutes and they were on at 830. Was a pleasant surprise. Would have liked to hear some stuff off their first album, but I'm not complaining. The set list was awesome.

I would've really liked Regular John. I, too, was surprised by the early start. We walked in during the start of No One Knows. Monsters In A Parasol was awesome too.

They were all awesome lol. They have 1 date in Oklahoma in May and no dates in April or through June…. I wonder if they'll ramp is up in the spring again and get a DC/Baltimore show. Gonna hang my poster up next to my other 2 when I get home! Poster nerd!

I wish everyone who wanted to go could have, because it was awesome. Fingers crossed for a local show!

I didn't see any posters for sale. Was it venue-specific (the one ones I buy) or for the entire tour?

They were venue specific, I'll post a picture when I get home. They were numbered, I believe there were only 50 or so. I have the one from Ram's Head and the one from 930 in 2005.

How was the crowd?  Was there moshing going round?  Saw them in Chicago in a club and crowd went ape shit for Song For the Dead.
;D

I was sitting up on the balcony, so I couldn't see the crowd. Everyone in the seated area on the balcony was standing up and dancing around. I know I was. I was one dude crowd surf, make it on stage, then turn right back around and stage dive.

After the show at the Floristree last night I looked around for Killsally and then I realized I had no clue as to what he looked like. 

I thought you said you saw me at Neutral Milk Hotel?

Either way, I ended up skipping it.  I heard it was amazing, and already regret that decision.   

Pixies at Electric Factory last night was a fun 90 minutes.  Even with the 4.5 hours of driving time, I still think I made the right choice of seeing them at Electric Factory instead of Strathmore.

I caught the last few songs of Fidlar and was glad I didnt get there any earlier.

Atomic is having a hard time keeping his schtick straight.

Best Waxahatchee set I've caught yet. Her tweet after just about sums it up. https://twitter.com/k_crutchfield/status/426956793236189184

I was at the Pixies show last night too.  I had a great time.  I wasn't disappointed at the lack of encore because they did play like you said 90 minutes.  Crowd was fun too, looked like the kids were having a blast moshing.  Fidlar was dreadful.  You didn't miss much.

any reason why fidlar sucked? curious.

i didn't know pixies were a moshing occasion.

I usually don't talk shit about bands, bit yeah, fidlar were pretty bad on the four songs I heard.

Fidlar sounded generic… Kind of like some bar band playing their originals instead of the covers.

Fidlar just sounds like a very generic pop punky/bro rock/quasi surfy/ garage band that I imagine are from California that sings about partying, drinking, and drugs.  I've heard them in some form or fashion about a hundred times over in the past.  Nothing remotely interesting, catchy, or memorable about their songs.  The kids up front liked them.

I didn't know the pixies inspired moshing but they did last night.

My first time seeing her tonite. Not a big fan going in but a great, great set. Liked the opener with dogs in their name too.

Yeah I dug both openers Friday. Was looking forward to All Dogs for a while and they delivered and Cayetana was a bonus. Their singer had a Mountain Goats-esque delivery thing happening.
