Last show I saw was Seu Jorge. It was pretty cool. Went mostly because my lady loves his music. I'm looking foward to seeing Konono No. 1 at the Knitting factory (LA) on Nov. 7th. Fucking homemade mic's, amplified kalimbas, and distortion up the ying yang. Some weed will definately be my co pilot that night.Speaking of weed, the animal collective show is coming up too. It's going to be a good month. What are some shows you all just seen, or are excited for?
 
I've seen Sonny Rollins, Noah Howard, and Billy Bang with Barry Altschul in the past month...all were excellent in their own ways. Best shows I've seen this year though would have to be Boredoms in Chicago and the Sun Ra Arkestra leading the Lexington, KY Mardi Gras parade.

I still kick myself for missing them when they played for free in Central Park when I was there for the weekend.

i caught ghostface a few weeks ago out in austin. a really good live show. i think it was some of theodore unit that came out beforehand and did a few tracks which were HOT TA DEATH!!! then ghost came out and blew my damn mind, of course. cappadonna was suprisingly really good too. my only minor gripe was that it coulda gone on for a lil while longer..
 
Seu was just here in mtl (crazy percussionists)

Roots Manuva (10min encore-demanding crowd insanity-mtl style+2 DJ/mpcs)

"Gang of Four" in Baltimore smoked! Catch em if you can. Saw hot new indie band "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah" two weeks ago and was underwhelmed.

caught him last week w/mos def/jean grae and Pharoah...

good show, ghost was aight.

next night was the same show only without ghost and with talib kweli.

Talib Kweli sounds like ass live.

he and mos did their blackstar joints and came off, that saved talib's sorry sounding ass.

 
How could I have forgotten the Melvins/Jello Biafra show. Awesome. Loud as fuck! Awesome.
word. i co-designed the poster for the seattle show.

best show i've been to recently was CONVERGE.
 
jungle brothers back in 99'.. hiphop shows have gotten pretty
ehh.gif
since then but this show was off the hook!! dela rolled up outta nowhere and launched into a killer rendition of 'buddy'

'bigger in japan' was a good show too. live D&B, the drummer killed it.
 
possibly running to the Henry Fonda in LA to see Broken Social Scene on Monday

first show I really wanted to see since Sigur Ros at the Hollywood Bowl
 
I saw Audioslave a few months back. Awesome show.
Yeah I saw Audio Slave in SF maybe a month ago. Good Show. The last Hip Hop Show I went to was the Giant Panda, PUTS, and Crown City show in a small loft.
