Oh yea, and numerous local shows :P

bananaboat - 8-17-2005 at 10:23 AM

I haven't gone to a lot, a lot of local shows. I went to The (International) Noise Conspiracy show.
They were opening for "And You Will Know By The Trail of Dead." Yeah it was fun to say "And You Will Know By The Trail of Dead" when you're buying tickets, when you already have trouble spitting that out, and when the ticket lady tells you to repeat that. Oh yeah and there was this other band that opened with them from Montreal, "We Are Wolves." They were kind of cool.

My friend wants me to go see Metric with her, but I'm not sure if I should go.

minimandy14 - 8-17-2005 at 11:52 AM

I could never turn down a show, even if I had no idea who was playing. . . .They are so much fun. . . .

corkey16 - 8-17-2005 at 10:07 PM

Bloc Party was pretty good, Interpol, and NIN.

minimandy14 - 8-18-2005 at 12:13 PM

YOU SAW INTERPOL!?!?:mad:

EN - 8-18-2005 at 01:14 PM

I might be seeing them next month, as they're coming to Portland.

:P Na na na boo boo!!:lol: Yes, they were awesome and pretty nice looking on stage too. They wore black suits. My husband passed by one of them while walking to the drink stand he claims.

minimandy14 - 8-18-2005 at 03:07 PM

I'm totally jealous. . . .That would be so kickass to see them live. . . . .

corkey16 - 8-18-2005 at 04:37 PM

There is a rumor that they might be touring with the Editors and Bloc Party and some other new band, but I'm not sure if it's right. Most bands do some more tour date when there album starts to wine down and they are about to go into the studio so they might do another tour date, who knows.;)

minimandy14 - 8-18-2005 at 04:39 PM

Well. . . I don't know. . . .Even if they did, I doubt they'd be coming here!

corkey16 - 8-18-2005 at 04:43 PM

:wow: Check it out Mandy, they will be touring with the killers in October 1, but it's in New York.:no: Here are some more tour dates for ya.:)

Oh gee I hope they do tour, and I would be able to see them.
And yeah I really want to go to Metric, but I'm worried my dad would blow a casket. I hope I move out soonish :rolleyes:

TurtleEnterprises - 8-22-2005 at 02:31 PM

I love interpol but you can fall asleep during one of their shows.

minimandy14 - 8-22-2005 at 04:34 PM
