Cory Wong! Band is as tight as can be. Vibe is playful, dynamic, and celebratory of all on stage.
Have seen him live only once, but he posts incredibly well-mixed and edited full-length concerts on his YouTube.
He fully deserves his blowup. Incredible musicianship abounds around him
Minami. She’s a Japanese artist that I’ve seen live, well… 0 times. Turns out if you mainly only listen to Japanese music and you live in Europe, concerts don’t work out too well for you.
Food House
epic queer hyperpop duo featuring the offspring of tony hawk
saw em live in seattle on the 8th and it was genuinely the bestest time i’ve ever had at a live music event EVER
I think my all time favorite as of now is still Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao and I have seen him live 0 times because he hasn’t come tour America. And there’s no way he’d be coming over now because it doesn’t matter if he’s famous or not, I guarantee he’d probably be deported to jail in South America just for being Asian.
I would say femtanyl. It’s also the only one I have seen live. I’m really hoping there will be another Europe tour because I doubt I will be able to go to North America anytime soon.
I didn’t discover Nirvana until after Cobain had died so… None. 😔
Same with Chris Cornell and every band he was in.
Soundgarden was absolutely legendary
You should probably stop discovering artists, for their sake!
/s
I’ve tried to stop myself after I got into Linkin Park. 😔
Man I thought I just liked grunge, but I think what I really like is depressing songs from people who have unalived themselves.
It’s hard to pick one favorite because I have so many. If I had to pick one it’d be Collide but I haven’t seen them live. However, I’ve seen Garbage four or five times so far and that’s not enough.
I have a bunch of stuff from Collide though. My name is on 2-3 of their albums, and I have their hand written lyrics and notes to the song they wrote for Underworld 4
Carbon Based Lifeforms. I haven’t, I doubt I ever will since crowds ruin music for me.
I saw CBL in London about a year ago, it was a pretty chill crowd FWIW
Porter Robinson!! I’ve seen him uhhh at least 5 times live now? I love how every album of his is totally different, and his performances are always such a good vibe.
Only managed to see him with Madeon on the Shelter tour, not usually my thing but that track was so good and yeah the vibes were immaculate!
That was the first time I saw him too! I’m hoping they do something for the shelter 10th anniversary in a few years
I got to see him live for the first time last year, absolutely incredible show.
Tough question but I’d say ODESZA is my favourite band. Never seen them live though!
I think the band I have seen most live is The Aggrolites, maybe 4 times.
Tossup between Streetlight Manifesto and Propagandhi.
Streetlight I’ve probably seen 9 or 10 times. Every single one is one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Their live shows are the perfect mix of energy and technicality. They are just as precise as their studio albums, but adding the intensity of live music and a venue completely packed with people who are super into it.
Propagandhi I’ve only seen once, but it was fucking intense. Every song was balls-to-the-wall power. I got kicked in the teeth so fucking hard I thought I lost one, but didn’t care. I was supposed to see them again last year, but the frontman got Covid the night before the show. I was supposed to see them in a couple weeks, but they canceled their American tour on account of all the Nazi shit happening here. Now I’m seriously thinking about paying an exorbitant amount of money to go see them in Canada.
Thank you for introducing me to Propaghandi, this band ROCKS.
Yeah with Propagandhi it’s always a toss-up whether they’ll make it into the U.S., they were set to play Fest this year too until they canceled. Kind of wonder if they’ll even bother trying to tour the U.S. for the next 4 years at least, ugh.
PS - Streetlight is playing Asbury Park later this month if you want to add another show to your count :P (you probably already know about that one)
Nine Inch Nails.
23 times.
That’s quite the record. I hope you have lots of keepsakes from them.
Yup. Even got them to sign a birthday card for my wife lol
This is seriously impressive
If you can pick, which was your favourite?
That’s tough to pick, but I would probably say the first With Teeth tour because it was their first after a hiatus and they played small clubs. So the show wasn’t fancy but to see them in what was basically a bar was kind of insane.
Where are the phish fans?
“…723 times”
There’s a decent size jam band community on mastodon on the shakedown.social instance. Lemmy not so much (yet)
Streetlight Manifesto- 3 times
Cursive I’ve seen them 5 times. Two of them one day after the other. Broken chords have never sounded so beautiful.
