I saw Metric play a year or two ago in Auckland and it was one of the most fun gigs I'd been to in a while. Hella keen for any new stuff from them.

resident posted:I am in a bit of a conundrum. Should I go see Courtney Barnett at a small, fancy theater or Rhye at an equally cool venue on the same day? Leaning towards Courtney but I might be able to see her at a festival later this year. Courtney Barnett for sure. One of the best acts I saw last year.

What the hell? Most big international acts playing in New Zealand will set you back $100 NZD, which is only $70 USD and we find even that pretty expensive. The most I ever paid was a bit over $200 USD for two tickets to Leonard Cohen, and that was worth every cent. Hell, I could have paid $70 USD to see Kendrick Lamar and The National at a festival last year, but I was an idiot and missed that.

Jeez, tickets were only $30 to see her last month in NZ and I was surprised to see them that cheap. Still, I'm glad to see her moving up and she's definitely worth going to see.

I've got a great weekend of shows lined up. First is Shenandoah Davis tomorrow - I get to skip work and (hopefully, if it doesn't rain) relax in the sun to an artist I've looked forward to seeing for years. Then on Friday I get to see Mount Eerie play in a cinema buried three stories underneath a library and cry. A lot. And finally on Tuesday I'm going to see Anthonie Tonnon who cptn_dr already made a Good Post about but you should check him out again because he's really, really great.

I'm always surprised whenever somebody like Mount Eerie comes to New Zealand. He's playing one show at a tiny venue that can fit maybe 200 people and tickets were pretty cheap too.

It's me, I'm the guy who got their board game. I'd actually really like to see them live one day. I'm not as huge a fan as I once was but I still love The Hazards of Love. But since I live at the bottom of the world they either won't come or will charge far more for tickets than I care to spend on them.

I'm having to pass on the National this year - as much fun as getting drunk in a vineyard while they play sounds, tickets are twice as expensive as they were last time they played.

incoherent posted:Welcome to your band getting older. Radiohead is ~1 more tour from being outside my ticket bracket. Tickets are actually at the low end of expensive for us, but because it's at a vineyard outside the city I'd have to fork out an extra $30 for the coach service.

Marlon Williams is blues-y, alt-country musician who's just released Make Way for Love, an album about the breakdown of his relationship with Aldous Harding. She even duets on one of the songs, singing her side of a conversation they never had. Nobody Gets What They Want Anymore (with Aldous Harding) Dark Child

I tried listening to the new Decemberists album and got partway through the second song before switching to Young Fathers. I used to really like them but this was laughably bad. Save yourself the trouble and don't bother with it.

Our local indie festival has just announced their lineup and I really hope we get some sideshows because $180 NZD is way too much to see Mitski and Courtney Barnett. I want to see Mitski so badly I may still buy a ticket...

Scored tickets to see Julien Baker in February within twenty minutes of the show being announced. I think that's the fastest I've ever bought tickets. I'm also going to a whole bunch of local acts in December, I might do an effort post later about them all.

The Beths kick rear end and their album was a top ten for me last year. I missed every show in Auckland last year when they were still playing tiny basement venues and I regret that so much.

I was all set to see Julien Baker play on Friday but she's had to cancel due to personal matters. I hope everything's okay with her  Going to use the refund to get a Sharon Van Etten ticket probably. This year's looking a bit quieter for live shows compared to last.

Oh hell yeah the new Julia Jacklin is fantastic. Check out Body if you haven't heard her stuff before. US goons, one of my favourite Kiwi dream pop bands, French for Rabbits, have just landed for a quick tour over the next month. The Weight of Melted Snow is one of my favourite tracks from their last album.
