Big Wreck posted:Honestly, I found Doi looking for new 'shoegaze' bands though it seems hardly related. I think we all recall Len. That was the single of the 90s. Marc "The Burger Pimp" Costanzo and his sister Sharon are geniuses. Some one should probably sponsor a super tour featuring Len, Gin Blossoms and Third Eye Blind. Edit: Seriously though, brothers and sisters shouldn't be that close.

I'm going to see TWDY in October at Camden, London, and now I've seen that setlist, I'm ridiculously pumped. Hopefully they stick to it, they're one of my favourite bands (deffo my fav post-rock) and if I can get the chance to meet them as well, I have the feeling its going to be one of the best nights of my life. Looking forward to Lymbyc System as well, though it says they're supporting as opposed to playing after TWDY. Either way, bring it on. Haven't posted in this thread yet, so thought I'd chime in a few bands I can't get enough of recently. Sorry if some have already been posted: Envy (http://www.myspace.com/officialenvy) A weird combo of post-rock/screamo, Envy are a five-piece from Tokyo. One of the main things setting them apart from other post-rock bands is, as you probably guessed, a screamer. The music itself is amazing regardless, and while the screaming is a bit odd, its certainly not out of place. Recommend: A Road Of Winds the Water Builds (this has recently solidified itself as one of my favourite songs) Further Ahead Of Warp Go Mad And Mark Saxon Shore (http://www.myspace.com/saxonshore) While not really bringing anything new to the table, Saxon Shore are more ambient than most other post-rock (much like The Album Leaf). There are still big dynamic buildups, but I find myself preferring the music before they get to the climax. Still very much worth a listen. Recommend: This Place Nothing Changes Thanks For Being Away upcdowncleftcrightcabc+start (http://www.myspace.com/upcdownc) Upcdownc aren't really that stand out compared to everyone else, the only reason I mention them are they're from Kent (where I'll soon be living) and one of their songs (Murmurs pt2) is absolutely incredible, and is (IMO) definitely one of the best post-rock songs around. And although these guys aren't post-rock, I think they deserve a mention: Dead Rat Orchestra (http://www.myspace.com/deadratorchestra) My old college teacher, Dan Merrill's band. While they have no traditional post-rock instrumentation, they remind me very much of Godspeed (they're on very good terms with Efrim Menuck and have supported A Silver Mt. Zion a few times) in that their songs can be very beautiful in a haunting way. A purely live band, however, since all their music is improvised on the spot as well, so you can always expect something different. As an example, during one gig the rhythm section was Nathaniel and Robin sawing through a tree-log. Hope this thread continues strong, post-rock's my favourite genre and this thread is amazing for picking up new artists.

Also, I don't know if Lymbyc Systym and TWDY will switch headlining spots overseas, but their sets were about the same in length so it's not really like you get less time with TWDY even if they aren't headlining. Oh, and their shirts are loving awesome. Seriously. If you like the album art for Young Mountain, they have it in shirt form, and it is just as awesome.

I saw TWDY tonight in Boston. I thought it was kind of dull. I've never been a super fan though, so take that as you may. They just felt kind of lifeless.

I saw TWDY in Detroit on the 10th and had the same reaction. The two opening bands (Metavari and Lymbyc System) were much more enjoyable, in my opinion. By the time TWDY took the stage, it was also close to 2am or so, and I was rather tired and just wasn't all that into it anymore.

Yeah, I'm not really too fussed what order they play in, so long as its a good night overall. One of the main reasons I'm looking so forward to it is cause I've never been to a post-rock gig before, so its a completely new gig-atmosphere for me as well. If they do the Young Mountain T-shirt as well, I'll definitely be getting one. Is there any pics somewhere of the actual shirts themselves? I looked on their myspace, but it just shows the picture and not the actual shirt. Also, looking at their gig-calender, it now says they'll be playing with mom, described as Electroacoustic Trance. I've listened to 'em for a few minutes and they sound alright. Not really post-rock, but still sounds good and refreshing. http://www.myspace.com/qewmusic

I can take a pic for you today if I can find some time. Also, with the comments about TWDY being lifeless, I certainly saw a little bit of that, and they were not nearly as energetic as Lymbyc Systym, but I still enjoyed it greatly. However, I am a bit biased.

Saw gently caress Buttons and Mogwai last night here in DC. gently caress Buttons kinda played their songs on stage with little tweaking out, but it was pretty intense. Mogwai was what I expected - some loud parts and some quiet parts. It was a little long but they closed it out well. The 9:30 club didn't cool the place enough and the heat combined with the music made it pretty soporific.

They're playing Friday. Mogwai is playing on Monday...are you seeing them instead? If you're seeing Sigur Ros it will be at the Pavilion so get beers/drinks before the show. Bring a sweatshirt too since it's right next to the harbor and will get cold. Sigur can be very loud and quiet and I'm sure people will get pissy if you talk during the quiet parts. There's a little promenade/picnic area near the concessions where you can chill, talk and try to fingerbang your date. Mogwai will be at the Wilbur theater which I have not been to but I do know it is a seated theater, which sucks. Mogwai is loud so bring earplugs. Just stand still the entire show.

Saw gently caress Buttons and Mogwai at the Starlight Ballroom in Philadelphia, PA on Friday night. The show was good, however I don't think I will travel 6 hours to see Mogwai play again. It was still worth it. They finished with Like Herod transitioning into Batcat. If you were at the show, I was the rear end in a top hat who screamed really loud when the first note of Batcat came through. I love that song.

Should be going to see Maybeshewill and TWDY in October (separate gigs). I can't decide whether to see Olafur Arnalds again, or go see Mogwai. MOgwai is like a 2 hour drive, Olafur is 20 minutes. But I haven't seen Mogwai before. Then Russian Circles in November

Speaking of Mogwai, is that Hawk Is Howling album any good? I can't find it anywhere. On that note I'm looking for a bunch of recommendations for new post-rock, I used to listen to a bunch but haven't bothered with any new music in a while. Any recommendations that sound like DMST/Tortoise/Grails would be appreciated.

The promoter took the date of his site, then the date showed up with *CANCELLED* next to it on TWDY's myspace page. I sent them a message to see if they were going to make up the date, but they never responded. The Ninth Layer posted:Is it Burning off Impunities or whatever they came out with last year? That one was pretty good. I haven't heard the new one, Doomsdayer's Holiday, yet, but the EP from over the summer, Take Refuge in Clean Living is fantastic. These guys are getting better with each release and just cranking out the material. I hope they tour again soon.

thehustler posted:gently caress, I have tickets for their Manchester gig, I hope he's ok by then It appears that it's just the US/Canada leg that's been nixed. They should be ready to go for their overseas stuff. Their website has more details. As for whether or not The Hawk is Howling is any good, personally, I love it. It may be one of my favorite albums of theirs. I mean, I love all of their albums, but this one especially is really good to me. I suggest you check it out. Now.

It really sucks to hear about Mogwai cancelling the rest of their US tour. I really hope Martin is alright (he was doing well enough to post on their blog, so that's a good sign). That being said, I'm glad I got to see them before they had to bow out. I saw their show at Terminal 5 (where I work) last week, they were excellent as usual and the new tracks sounded great, Batcat in particular. Also met Stuart for a while afterwards, one of the most approachable musicians I've ever come across. Other than that I haven't seen a lot of great post-rock shows in a while. Hoping Mono get back to the states sooner than later, I've seen them 3 times and have yet to be disappointed. (Plus, I'm in their tour DVD  )

Just listened to Hawk is Howling and yeah it's really good. None of the songs felt like fillers and there were a lot of really cool moments where their music really came together for me. I'll definitely have to re-listen to it soon. I haven't seen this recommended anywhere and it probably gets overlooked by a lot of post-rock fans but The Appleseed Cast's Low Level Owl I and II are both really great post-rock albums, definitely worth checking out.
