The Year of the Concerts

My New Year's resolution has been to see as many concerts as possible, regardless of who agrees to go with me. I love going to shows and at some point I stopped going to them. No mas!

Now I have decided to start writing about them.

Last night I went to see a band called Tough Shits at good old Ronny's. They were surprisingly awesome for a Wednesday night show at Ronny's. The sound was punk with some 50's influence and the song "I Heard She Kisses on the Mouth" is just so damn catchy!! Very fun.

Here is a list of shows I've seen thus far, if I can remember them all:

Fancy Contraption - Horseshoe and Studio 3A.

And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Logan Square Auditorium

Cursive - Radio Room, Austin

Balmorhea and J. Tillman - Western Vinyl Showcase, sxsw, Austin

lots of bands I don't remember the names of all over Austin during sxsw

two shows at Ronny's I should have written about because they were good.

John Vanderslice and the Mountain Goats - Portage Theater

Upcoming shows:

Black Kids and Mates of State - Metro (if I can find a spare ticket)

dredg and From Monuments to Masses - Empty Bottle

Faun Fables - Bottom Lounge

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Bottom Lounge

Peter, Bjorn and John

Pitchfork Festival
