too many to even list off. ordstro/matsuri/obacha. ahna/yellowthief/shearing pinx. willing feet/cetascean/iskra. grindlandia. noisefest day two. bloody phoenix. fastcore fest. anarchist bookfair show. iskra/no eulogy/sbb tour kickoff. the last two war hero shows. what else even happened this year?

shred the loops, calagry when scott did vokills for the first time in iskra in forever, foul copse, chaos in tejas...

wasn't even counting shows outside BC, foul copse would have definitely been up there if we had actually seen any of it

fuck bc.

i am including the 13 hour drive to get to foul copse watching tyler and zach get wasted in the back seat, Willa tell creepy as fuck personal stories...and zach actually...then rolling up to iskra playing at like 3am? (my memory is fucking gone) and wolf being so drunk.

Really just because I found a picture from that show online so made a thread

Maroon 5, Keith Urban, and Taylor Swift were fantastic.

except I would have actually gone to see Taylor Swift.

the Odd Future show I just got back from was awesome.

RVIVR

How could I forget to mention LUCERO. that was one of my favorite shows ever.

Dilated Peoples

Kunta Haji at the Colbalt. Colbalt Forever! \m/

Tonight Siren Songs played what might have been the best set I've seen a local band play. Fuck

this year had some seriously awesome shows. i definitely skipped out on way too many though, and for sure regret it now.

stuff i checked out and loved:

omegas/mad men (last show)
sheer terror
big k.r.i.t./smoke dza (saw em twice, killed it both times)
foundation/harms way
free spirit/urban blight/dead end path/united youth
iron lung/slaughter strike (last show...ughhhhhhh they were so good)
HAYMAKER/fog of leprosy (wasn't necessarily as wild as people fronted but otherwise totally great. some guy beside me got part of his shoe burnt off by a firecracker)

stuff that is happening soon that will most likely make the "best of 2011" list:

waka flocka flame (next weekend. get buck)
not dead yet weekend (a whole lot of amazing here)
jay z/kayne (my friend is getting a private box. i'm not even necessarily a big fan of either, but anything at that level of baller status is going to be awesome)
