On Muzu TheXx vidoe channel is very cool, and you can get an idea of what they are like live.

Billie Joe Armstrong Meets Paul Westerberg

The XX coming to Slim's June 1 & 2

Wow, the XX is coming to Slim's. Their debut album might be the most memorizing one I have heard in years. It's very calming and your mind would just wonder off. Has anyone read "The lights go on for The xx" by Sasha Frere-Jones. I love their music, but am not sure if they are a good live band. Who wants to go? Tickets go on sale Sunday March 28.

The New Pornographers coming to the Fox

The show is on July 18, however, tickets go on pre-sale March 25, that's tomorrow. (password = uptown)

MGMT coming to the Fillmore

... on April 12 & 13. Tickets on sale March 28 at 10am. It would be cool to catch them at the Fillmore!

Phoenix at the Fillmore

Great show at the Fillmore last night. The floor shook with all the people dancing or jumping. I've been to the Fillmore so many times, never felt that way before. It was totally awesome!


SF Weekly gave a nice review:

Few bands will kick off a set by playing their biggest hit first. But France's Phoenix seemed confident last night that they had more than a single smash up their sleeve, and judging by the way the fans sang and clapped and hooted along for most of their hour plus Fillmore set, they were right.
The group opened with "Lisztomania" like a finale, the signature turquoise and pink colors of the Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix album flashing brighter than a video game console behind them; and they played their finale like the winners of the superbowl, the crowd surging to cheer and raise their fists in victory with the reigning champions of pop, frontman Thomas Mars raised metaphorically (and, perhaps, physically?) on their shoulders. In between, the performance caused the audience to act like it was New Year's Eve, laughing and whooping and hugging one another--making the actions of the nobodies on the wooden floor around you as infectious as the giant somebodies raised above you on the stage.
