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.
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.
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.
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
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.
World/Inferno Friendship Society by far, must have seen them 10-15 times in the NYC/NJ area. Averaged 1-2 times a year up until the lead singer passed away 4 years ago (RIP CLOTH). Their live show was kind of a intense mix of dancing, moshing, singing along and just kind of letting loose. The fans sort of created an entire community around the band and we’d recognize each other from all the other shows we’ve been to together. Their annual halloween show (Hallowmas) was always the highlight, the band would go all out with live show spectacles both on and off the stage.
I still go to plenty of other live shows, at the moment have leaned into folk punk bands. Apes Of State and Escape From the Zoo are some of my current favorites maybe seen them 4-5 times now.
Most of them are 90s and 2000s hip hop, rock, jazz, pop, and electronic artists (I can’t pick a favorite).
I’ve been to three concerts in my entire life. Two of them because I was bartendering at the venue. The other one my parents took me to when I was 12 (Blue Man Group in Vegas, early 2000s).
I’d love to one day be able to attend a concert on my own dime… Too busy going to work and paying bills.
Death Cab for Cutie is my favorite by far. I’ve seen them live 4 times.
I’ve also seen their frontman perform solo twice, and once more with his other project the Postal Service.
Say Anything, that band basically kept me alive through my teens and 20s, I got to see them live and Max Bemis the lead singer grabbed my hand and got me to sing a part of the song, best fucking moment of my life.
That was the moment I knew I wasn’t 100% straight, he could have had me that night.
Cory Wong is my all time favorite, seen him 3 times so far, all amazing shows. Will see him again next month at North Sea Jazz.
Snarky puppy is a good contender, seen themb3 times as well.
R.E.M. - saw them live 3 times (Edinburgh 1994, Stirling 1999 and Glasgow 2005). Always great!
I have been a Cure fan for over 30 years now. I have seen them live twice, both times in their ‘Bloodflowers’ tour. Normally, when they perform near us, they perform on big festivals. I hate festivals.
