Yea! A Lupe fan! He's from Chicago, and one of my favorite shows was him sold out at the House of Blues here in Chicago. His whole family was there, and I even met his mom! Ha!

I can't remember how many times I've updated my shows on this thread, but here are some more that I'm going to soon...
Atmosphere
Hold Steady
Noah and the Whale
Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos
but I've seen all these folks already, although, some of them were at Lollapalooza and so it'll be nice seeing them at a more traditional venue.

[kchaptergphib]

Oh, and to the lucky MF's who get to go to Austin City Limits Festival this weekend, I hate you. I am so jealous.
Go see What Made Milwaukee Famous. Go. Go now. And it should be very cool to see them in their hometown.
Anyone have plans for SxSW?

Time for an update! On the 27th I'm going to a radio sponsored concert with:
Billy Idol! (YES! He's my reason for going)
Devo - The husband says they are good, I'm reserving judgement.
Blondie
Psychadelic Furs (again)
Twister Sister (meh)


And....wait for it, wait for it....


REO Speedwagon.
Sweet.

Updates:
Billy Idol was kick ass. He started off White Wedding acoustically...it was AWESOME.
Devo - Ok, so the husband and I thought they were not as good as they used to be.
Blondie - she was good, getting older though.
Psychadelic Furs - Were good, sound pretty much the same as always
Twister Sister - Was really good actually...Dee Snyder is funny as hell and had a great personality on stage.
REO Speedwagon - were really good for a group that made it big in 1973, they were rockin it.

And special guest was: War - that's right...they did Lowrider, Cisco kid and Why can't we be friends to open up the concert.


And, I just got tickets to see Coldplay! YAY! I'm so excited! Has anyone seen them before? Are they as good as I hear they are?

Mary J was OUTSTANDING!! A must see! (me likey Robin Thicke too, David Young was OK)

Maxwell - HE'S BACK and was worth every penny! After 2 encores the crowd didn't want to leave!!

(Jazmine Sullivan - Has a very strong voice, and a decent set. I didn't know any of the songs other than "Need U Bad" I felt she should have been on tour with multiple artists. I found myself wishing she would hurry up and get off the stage so Maxwell could come on)
