Music
I am going to see so many concerts this summer that I have officially decided to name this ‘the summer of the concert.’
Here they are. I am very excited.
David Usher, April 22
Black Black Heart
This show is in Brampton. My ticket was only $10 and I’m in the front row!
Hey Rosetta, April 24
Hey Rosetta
This vid is from the show where I first heard them, at the Horseshoe Tavern. If there was a ‘made of win’ award, these peeps from Newfoundland would for sure get it. I am super pumped for the show!
Keane, May 23
Perfect Symmetry
It’s been two years since Keane last graced Toronto with their presence, which is much too long! I catch these guys every time they come to town.
Coldplay, July 30
Violet Hill
I actually have never seen Coldplay live, which is about as criminal as a crime can be for me, seeing as how I’ve loved them ever since the days of Yellow.
U2, September 17
Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Hmm…maybe instead of the summer of concerts, this should be called the summer of epic concerts. Cause U2 is epic, and this’ll be my first time seeing them. Or maybe I should call it the Europe/Canada summer concert extravaganza! I think I like that.
Either way, I am SUPER thrilled for this show. Many thanks to Parv for scoring us such amazing seats.
Shows I’d like to go to (but really shouldn’t because I should not spend any more $$ on concerts!)
Midway State, April 17
Never Again
I really feel like I should go to this show. Tickets are only $12, plus I went to high school with two of the guys. Gotta support the homegrown talent, right? If I could find someone to go with, I’d be there in a heartbeat (AND YES THAT IS A HINT!)
Travis, April 21
Something Anything
I have a huge soft spot for these guys, and they put on great live shows. But tickets are $36! I’m so conflicted! Help?
All American Rejects, April 22
Womanizer (cover)
I love these guys too, and not just for this kickass cover of Womanizer. But David Usher is the same night, and David will ALWAYS win out.
Franz Ferdinand, May 4
The Fallen
It’s probably a good thing this show is sold out.
P.S. (random showing off time) I met the guys once, and they were all super cool. Alex (lead singer) is really gorgeous!
So I think that’s all the shows I am going to/want to go to. Someone please convince me why I should go to the ones on my maybe list!
