THE GARDEN
you tell me why too!!
i love their music!! but the fans…
… the discog sharks, the kiddos that have never been to a show, and that one set where there was chanting and someone intentionally pissed all over the floor!!! ☠😂
i saw a puzzle record and an enjoy record that someone is selling each for $1200 - no burger record is worth that much

I just went to a Fontaines DC show and it was really great, but I had such a weird experience with the crowd. I think a lot of new fans don’t realize that this band came out of an Irish punk movement, and their concerts will thus come with punk fans. People who wanted more a more poppy ambience after hearing a few singles like starburster and favorite seemed visibly disappointed that people were jumping around in the front. If you listen to any earlier music, especially the first two albums, you can assume that the concert will lean more punk. The dirty looks, the refusal to move at all, and the lead singer having to hype people up to get the rest of the crowd to move all in all was just really weird and not in the spirit of the night. It’s okay if you don’t wanna mosh or even move, but hype up your fellow friends who do and leave the judgment at home

jam bands get a lot of unwarranted hate. phish is my favorite band, ive seen them like 43 times and still get so excited when they play. perfect band for people who like rock n roll and to obsess over stuff. theyre playing 4 nights at madison square garden in december and i will gladly take anyone to their first show.

in 2014 at the church my parents got married in. Beautiful seated show in pews, surrounded by stained glass, visuals were circular projections of ink being dropped into milk.
Danny Brown in 2013 at a tiny college gymnasium. My parents wouldn’t let me go to the after party. My mom almost didn’t let me go to the show after she listened to XXX and said to me verbatim one Sunday morning before church: “Have you listened to the lyrics?! ‘My dick so big it left stretch marks on her jaw?!?’”
Death Grips in 2015, got punched in the head so hard (by accident) in the pit that I threw up then stayed the night at my friends house in Baltimore before driving 6 hours through rural Pennsylvania the next day to be a counselor at church camp.
Mitski in a small basement venue in 2016 on the night of a comet shower. The first show my husband and I saw together but I had a very unfortunate stomachache, thankfully I could sit down.
Alex G and Porches in 2016 at my favorite now-closed venue. My husband asked him to play “Mis” but he said he didn’t really remember it, thankfully the bassist remembered it so they did and it was lovely.
LVL UP at their final tour in 2018 at another small bar venue. Husband requested “Big Snow” and boy did it rip, spicy hot gumbo!
Honorable mention to Sleater Kinney in 2014 because Lizzo opened from them and she threw me a packet of Famous Amos cookies which is just a funny story to retell today and to think about her opening for Sleater Kinney at one point.
Can’t really pick between them, this is mostly a note to self to remind me of some of my favorite live music experiences. 2010’s was a truly great concert era for me.
