The rain has broken a bit but the wind is still ferocious. I decided to visit the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse next to give the trails a little more time to drain off, and to catch part of the historical tours. It had not hit me until seeing the pumpkins now that Halloween was approaching as … Read more
What’s this – I’m taking pictures of something not in the wilderness?! When in Rome (or Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin) if you are presented the opportunity for a brewery tour you take it goshdarnit dontchaknow. So today I’m killing a few hours and maybe a couple brewskis at the Leinenkugels Brewery & Leine Lodge store. Inside … Read more
Scored tickets to see one of my favorite bands down at The House Cafe in Dekalb, Illinois. Teddy Roberts and The Mouths were the opening act. Kind of a bluegrass/country vibe. Tigers Jaw closed the show. They are good but not quite my style (emo/pop punk). Right in the middle was mewithoutYou. Sorry my photos … Read more
Friends of mine scored tickets for the Foo Fighters latest Concrete and Gold tour in Milwaukee at the new Fiserv Forum. Gotta say I didn’t expect to see such an impressive show – nearly 3 hours long and one of the best light displays I’ve ever seen. Setlist can be seen here. Don’t forget to … Read more
Got lucky and scored tickets months ago to see Fleet Foxes at the Chicago Theatre. First balcony booth seats with a table and waiter service thanks to an awesome pre-sale deal. Opening band Nap Eyes was OK if nothing else. Super chill sleepy-time music. Guess it’s not just a clever name? Fleet Foxes went on around … Read more
Old concert photos from Deftones and Incubus at the Hollywood Casino Ampitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois. These ones especially are pretty bad, but still sharing to track the shows I’ve been to. We had lawn seats and got there late so they were pretty far in the back. My iPhone 5 just couldn’t keep up … Read more
mewithoutYou – Catch For Us The Foxes 10 year Anniversary Tour with openers The Appleseed Cast and Hop Along. Crappy photos but was a great show as usual, and they played the entire album (CFUTF) straight through plus a killer encore (setlist here). I didn’t know anything about Hop Along but they were good so I … Read more
While on our trip we caught Chiodos at the Chameleon Club playing on the Launch Music Conference Festival 2014. Crappy pictures, hard to get beers, but still a good show. Lat = 40.0415459 , Long = -76.3088226 — Show at Google Maps
Final tour ever for the band The Chariot. Sad because I was just getting into them. Have to say their stage presence was probably better than any other band I have ever seen. Moshers were about to get tossed by security (rules and stuff), then the band stopped playing. Josh Scogin, the lead singer, nicely … Read more
The Metro isn’t my favorite venue thanks to it’s cramped quarters but it was definitely worth shoe-horning myself inside to see Desaparecidos. Crowd was nuts, sound was excellent (not overdone like it usually is). Couldn’t really move from the same spot in the back but still a good time. Setlist here. Afterwards we made our … Read more
