One of these shows will be my first show EVER (other than stuff like the Carolina Opry that my parents dragged me to when I was a kid) and they will both be in Carrboro, NC in the month of April.
I can't decide. Which do you think, FOT board?
UPDATE: Ted Leo is playing in may in the Triangle, as well! I can only see one because that's a long drive!
-
First show ever? How old are you? I think J Mascis sounds awesome solo and Kurt Vile is great. I think Aimee is great too and would love to see her but I think this has to be looked at as "see 2 greats or see just one great."

I'm 21.

I didn't mean to come off like a jerk. Sorry if I did.

I didn't take it as such. ;)

Okay, first Aimee Mann is quality, but very famous, so seeing her seems to cost about 60 bucks including ticketing fees, (not sure about the actual cost in your neighborhood.)
If you see the Kurt Vile show, it costs 10 dollars if you buy your ticket in advance, and then you could also see Superchunk (14.) and the Mountain Goats (17.) or the Blacks Lips (12.) All are well respected, great bands. I think you should check out more live bands and go to more shows for your money. You are only young once, so have fun!!!
-
Oops, the J Mascis/Kurt Vile is 16.00. But still...
-
What do you guys think of Ted Leo's solo shows? He's going to be in Chapel Hill in May.
I think I'll go to that so I can have more time to save up money. These are all my absolute favorites; I wish I could go to all of them.
-
That is one epic week of shows at the Cat's Cradle. I'm trying to decide between the Black Lips/Vivian Girls or Destroyer/War On Drugs show. J. Mascis/Kurt Vile would be the winner, but family coming to town that night.
-
I can't wait for Black Lips. It'll be my first time seeing them.
-
I've never seen Black Lips either and they're coming to Columbus soon but I'm unsure whether I'll go. Do they still do gross stuff onstage? I've heard stories about them drinking their own pee onstage and stuff like that, which I have no desire to see.
-
Duuuuuuude.
The Mountain Goats are coming to the Cat's Cradle on April 8. There's your show.
I'm probably going to be out of town or I'd be there. If I'm in town for Ted Leo I may be there. If only I didn't hate live music shows and doing anything, this would be so much easier.
-
In this 2 team race, Ms Mann wins and J Mascis + Kurt Vile come in 7th or 8th at best.
-
That Mountain Goats show has the added bonus of Megafaun opening.
-
Wow. The Triangle is going to be insane this spring (insane for North Carolina, or so I thought).
-
This fall too...supposedly the bookings for Hopscotch Fest have been quite impressive.

Cat's Cradle is one of the top indie (whatever that means) clubs in the country, I think. The Orange Peel in Asheville also has a lot of "gets," too, including one of the two sets of Smashing Pumpkins shows awhile back.
With Mountain Goats, it doesn't hurt that John Darnielle lives in Durham. His sometime drummer has recently re-relocated back here, too, from what I've read. What's that guy's name again?

Todd Barry?

Todd Barry?
Now I saw HIM at Local 506.

I saw them twice and they didn't do anything particularly revolting onstage.

How 'out-there' can those Black Lips shows be? That Good Bad Not Evil album I heard was some of the tamest garage rock I've ever heard.

I remember hearing from more than one source that there was onstage urination and drinking of said urine. Or maybe I'm combined half-remembered stories about Rod Stewart and G. Gallin.

I've seen the photographs.

they have calmed down alot in recent years but they're shows have always been pretty wild in the past. nudity, pissing, spitting, making out with each other, etc.
i've seen them alot of times but the most tame shows have been in the last couple of years when they started getting more popular after good bad not evil.
they're still really fun to see, it's not that they've calmed down just reigned in some of the shock elements
i dunno, i guess if you've been to alot of crazy punk shows it's nothing really that "out there" but i could see it freaking out your average rock fan.
-
It sounds like the same thing that happened to King Khan.
-
the black lips are a tamer breed now; jay reatard was following the same path before, well, you know.
at any rate, i know i'm late...this is a tough one alex p.
personally, my decision would have to come purely from ticket price and venue. if neither of those are a deal breaker for you, consult the ouija board.
