I'm confused by the last page's love train of 65daysofstatic. They're like the Lady GaGa of post-rock and the new track is just loving awful. TWDY is also really generic too.

I'm just now realizing I forgot to post about this in here, but I saw Caspian and Arms And Sleepers about a week ago. Arms And Sleepers was great, really pretty ambience with some nice beats and deep bass. Probably the best concert opener I've ever seen. And then Caspian absolutely TORE poo poo UP. Honestly, it was the most fun post-rock show I've ever seen. Mono is the best emotional post-rock show I've seen, but Caspian was just energetic as gently caress and really a blast to watch. So yeah, if you get a chance, go see them!

Saw Youthmovies last night, on their farewell tour. It was amazing. Thanks for the fun times, lads. PS: gently caress you all, 65dos are great and the new stuff is just different but still pretty cool.

Came to post that. Another favourite from the test tour. These songs have sounded great live AND on the record, which is refreshing but I suppose it's to be expected when a lot of your work is electronically generated. I am so looking forward to it though!

I hadn't really paid attention to Maserati, even though I saw them open for Mono and recognized their drummer when the poor guy killed himself in an elevator shaft. Anyway, I decided to give them a honest listen and I gotta say I like them -- Inventions for the New Season is a good album.

I saw them a week before the drummer died and that dude absolutely stole the show. I count myself so fortunate now to have seen them when he was playing with them. But yeah, their music is great. My two favorites from them are Show Me The Season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At7ZIIrA0Rc and Monoliths https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKSRvqnrajQ Not surprisingly, they were also my favorites that they played live. I felt they put the most energy into these two, but the whole show was energetic as gently caress, really. Lots of fun to experience.

Yeah. It was pretty unusual that they put the drummer up front, and it quickly became really obvious why. The guy was a machine. It did feel like every single of their songs however started with a quiet-loud sudden double crash and it was hard for me to tell them apart, having never heard them before. The one that I do remember is 12/16, something about it is just catchy for me.

Went to see Caspian last week and it was absolutely fantastic. Didn't know much about Arms and Sleepers going in, but they put on a really solid, atmospheric show and are cool as poo poo to boot. Caspian played well over an hour (despite not being the headliner) and hit all my favorites save one (Of Foam and Wave, which hopefully I'll get to hear that when they come back on the 26th  ). They closed the show with "Sycamore" which culminated in an 8-man percussion session (comprised of the entire band and A&S), and it was truly something to behold. Awesome, awesome show.Rhgr posted:gently caress, apparently From Monument to Masses have disbanded, shame, easily one of the most original and creative post rock bands around and my most listened artist on last.fm

Hopefully not everyone's already aware of this, but if you love GYBE or ASMZ the Internet Archive's Live Music Archive has a large collection of very high quality recordings (there are some bad quality recordings as well, but the good ones are amazing), all with the bands' permission. Most shows are available in FLAC and MP3. I'll list some of my favourites that I tend to listen to more than the actual albums. Godspeed You Black Emperor!: http://www.archive.org/details/GodspeedYouBlackEmperor http://www.archive.org/details/gybe2003-05-14.shnf Has unreleased and somewhat rare tracks Albanian and the complete Gamelan. Very very good recording. I love this version of Moya. http://www.archive.org/details/gybe2001-09-28.shn One their best performances I've heard. There is another version of this show by a different taper up as well, but I prefer this one. I love John Hughes/She Dreamt She was a Bulldozer (its a movement from Antennas to Heaven). A Silver Mt Zion: http://www.archive.org/details/ASilverMtZion http://www.archive.org/details/asmz2001-01-25.sdb.flac16 Decent quality from the original sound board tape from the He Has Left Us days, not many of these shows around. http://www.archive.org/details/asmz_2006-05-02_aud2.flac16 Has an amazing version of There is a River in the Valley Made of Melting Snow, the rest of the show is also really great, but that one performance stands out. http://www.archive.org/details/asmz2005-06-16.mic.flac16 Quality recording with great performances and lots of chatting with the audience in between. Everything about this show is brilliant. http://www.archive.org/details/asmz2008-11-01.4060.flac Thirteen Moons album, audience requests Microphones in the Trees (someone asked for this earlier) and they also play Metal Bird. This is one of the best quality audience recordings I have ever heard. Explosions in the Sky: http://www.archive.org/details/ExplosionsintheSky They also have a large collection of shows up, I haven't listened to any of these though. Here's a list of all the bands with collections in the Live Music Archive: http://www.archive.org/browse.php?mediatype=collection&collection=etree&field=%2Fmetadata%2Fcreator

This Will Destroy You have released a new track in aid of an Amnesty International group. I can presume its off their new album (which after talking to guitarist Chris King after their gig in Camden last november, should be coming out around June/July time), and can be found third from the bottom of the USA list: http://www.buffetlibredjs.net/nordamerica.html And its as predictable as I expected. This almost sounds note for note exactly like the quiet part of Brutalism from the "Field Studies" split E.P. I kinda dig the xylophone/percussion noise track, but the song itself just doesn't sound that original to them at all. I used to be (and still am, to some degree) a huge fan of TWDY, even citing them as my favourite band for well over a year and a half. Even got the pleasure of meeting them (as mentioned before) last year and telling them that myself, which was an amazing moment for me. But they were unfortunatly playing after And So I Watch You From Afar who, at the time, I'd never heard of and are now, in my opinion, the best live band I've ever seen. TWDY still put on a great show after, but I was so in awe and burnt out after ASIWYFA to really enjoy it, and since then I've kinda tossed them aside. Bit unfair really, and I'm familiar with the TWDY-rage this thread has collected the last few months but I do genuinely hope this track isn't a whole representation of the album to come and that it will rekindle my love for this band as I used to have. EDIT: did anyone in this thread happen to be at the same show at the Camden Underworld last year? There was another decent band who went on first, but I can't remember for the life of me what their name was and would love to find it out Danneh fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Apr 14, 2010 |

Last.fm says it might have been eaststrikewest at the Camden gig, I've heard some good stuff about them and they are on my 'to listen to' list.

ASIWYFA are one of the best live bands I've ever seen, up there with Mogwai and Nine Inch Nails. Saw them in a tiny room that held less than 50 people, was utterly mindblowing. (Also the guitarist looks like Paul Scholes)
