I did stuff this summer, I swear. Just not a lot of stuff that was interesting enough to blog about. Saw a couple shows, just Of Montreal at the Gothic Theater and Clipse at Mission Ballroom, but there really weren’t many shows I wanted to see.
That all changes in 17 days, when my best friend Court and I head to Atlanta for Shaky Knees 2025. It’s a three day festival and My Chemical Romance is headlining day 2, so Court and I will lose our tiny little minds nerding out over early 2000’s emo. Devo is also playing and they are one of my top ten favorite bands ever. It’ll be my first time seeing them, which should be a blast.
Then we get back, and the gauntlet o’ shows begins in earnest.
Current Lineup for September – November:
Sept 19-21 – Shaky Knees, Piedmont Park, Atlanta
Sept 26th – They Might Be Giants, Ogden Theater
October 1st – Autechre, Ogden Theater
October 3rd – Wolf Alice, Ogden Theater
October 9th – Yung Lean, Fillmore Auditorium
October 12th – Twin Peaks: A Conversation with the Stars, Paramount Theater
October 14th – Stereolab, Gothic Theater
November 8th – The Faint, Gothic Theater
November 13th – Devo, Mission Ballroom
November 14th – Underworld, Fillmore Auditorium
November 18th – Mars Volta, Mission Ballroom
Clearly I will be making up for the lost time in the summer, and getting a couple bucket list shows checked off my list – Autechre, Stereolab, Devo and Underworld!
Now back to your regularly scheduled boring for a few weeks. I’m just going to try to survive at work. And at home, Patrick tested positive for Covid 2 days ago and I tested negative, so trying to not get that shit again after it ruined my birthday a year and a half ago. Hoping I’m still relatively immunized to it…
