Modern Minstrels

Upcoming Concerts

I've been slacking in concert attendance lately, having only attend 2 this year (plus one show in Japan). Fortunately, I've got tickets to an amazing lineup of shows over the next few months.

Yellowcard, Mae, Over It - April 17 @ San Jose State Event Center Arena

Wasn't initially planning to go to this show, but Andrew was interested in seeing Yellowcard so I decided I'd go. Definitely looking forward to seeing Over It for the first time. And also looking forward to hearing Mae play songs from The Everglow live. They always put on a good show. As for YC, as much as I want to be bitter about them and the whole Ben drama, I know I'm going to get into their set. I'm hoping they play more older stuff than things off Lights and Sounds, but that's probably unlikely.

Dredg - May 11 @ The Fillmore

Nick and I had planned to see these guys back in December, but the show sold out before we got around to getting tickets. Definitely looking forward to seeing them as Catch Without Arms was one of my absolute favorite albums last year. I need to go and listen to some of their older stuff before the show though. Also of note is now that Nick lives in SF, he's going to pick up tickets from the box office, so screw you Ticketmaster, you're not getting any lame ass fees from us.

Matt Nathanson - May 13 @ Swedish American Music Hall

Matt and his guitar for an acoustic solo show!! So psyched for this show. Matt is easily one of the most fun people you will ever see live. Still need to pick up his live album that just came out (if I can ever find it anywhere). Did I mention this show is going to be amazing?

Brand New - July 11 @ The Fillmore

Definitely my most anticipated of all the shows. I've been waiting years to see Brand New live. They'd better play for 2 hours.

Those are my confirmed shows for the next few months. I'm sure more will crop up. In fact two other shows I know about that I may go to are MC Lars/The Matches at the end of May and I hear Radiohead is playing at the Greek Theater in Berkeley in July. I've never seen Radiohead before and I've heard nothing but good things about their live performances. So even though I'm not a huge, huge Radiohead fan, I'll probably still go.
