I saw Toro + Braids last night in Philly. I had no clue who Braids were until they started playing and I realized they were super hyped a few months ago for being like a female Animal Collective. Pretty good.

I saw Toro open for caribou last year. He seems way more confident on stage now. Pretty short set, and I'm not as big a fan of the new stuff but still pretty good.

North Coast Fest!

Chances are I'll once again go for free as well and enjoy complimentary drinks and stage front picture access on behalf of UIC Radio

Here's my photos from last year in case anyone is interested:

Toro y moi, wild nothing and twin shadow added to p4k fest!

[Oxy.]

hopscotch fest lineup in 5 days for all the southerners that post and/or lurk

toro y moi + braids tonight, i might possibly take video. i'll probably be to busy dancing my ass off, though.

btw, does anyone know someone that has gotten lucky enough to get a see through tomboy vinyl?

[yachtrock89]

Right on. Wanted to go last year so bad but couldn't get it together in time.

Saw Destroyer w/ War on Drugs at Cat's Cradle last Thursday, both awesome. Still need to look at the video that was taken if it's decent will upload.

Toro y moi added to p4k fest!

toro y moi footage from last night's show

0qZvUBeNwoE

first time going to a show that had high energy, and didn't involve moshing. only disappointment was after the last song, the crowd waited for about 10mins shouting "more, more!" and he wouldn't deliver. plus side is: jordan (one of the members) heard me scream at him about chaz's whereabouts, and he completely ignored me, but then he came back up later and apologized and said it was cool to chill with them in the back.

i'm still waiting for my friend to upload that footage (although, it's just a short 12-15sec clip).

edit: sorry, lied.. it's only 10 secs

If you're willing to make the drive he's playing in Columbia Saturday in a bowling alley. Should be pretty awesome. Tickets are $15. A band from Atlanta called Mermaids is also playing with Toro and they're pretty awesome.

just saw the tweet about that on his twitter. first time hearing of indie grits.

[chchchip]

^it's pretty cool man. they usually get a few good local bands to play every year and sometimes they have decent films.

Did you meet Andy and Patrick as well? and James!?(the merch guy/driver) They're all really nice dudes.

Can't wait for the hopscotch fest lineup.

Also, been getting into some garage rock lately. My roommate got me into The Oh See's and Ty Segull.

met james when i purchased the toro y moi tee, but didn't really converse with him. and, i met both Andy and Pat as well when i went back, it's funny b/c the entire time everyone kept screaming "yeah, chaz!" and i would always yell "go, patrick!". he told me he appreciated it ha

and i also met a couple of the kids from Braids, who are extremely down to earth. the lead, Raphaelle(sp?), she did their intro partly in japanese so that was cool.

but yeah, no more shows for me until hopscotch.

[chchchip]

haha. that's awesome man. the toro show was pretty awesome. everyone was going ape shit for them especially since it was their homecoming show. they got off to a rough start and had to stop halfway through the first song to fix some shit with Andy's computer. After that though it was all smooth sailing. went to the hotel after party which was fun for a bit until it got busted from the 70 year old lady that was trying to sleep next door.

can't wait to see them again. really hoping to get on the guest list for pitchfork fest.

also diggin' this song:

[Oxy.]

^ that's sounds great, i wish i could've went to an after party. gonna be up all night waiting for this hopscotch lineup @ 12. i've got my fingers crossed for some pretty big names, but i'll probably be disappointed.

[chchchip]

^ what're your thoughts on the lineup for Hopscotch??

I'll go just so i can see Beach Fossils. Wanted to see them so badly for so long. Others I'd like to see:

Twin Shadow

Toro

Guided By Voices

Flaming Lips

Braids

Dodos

Black Lips

Lower Dens

Japandroids

Cold Cave

Mount Eerie

You gonna go?

[Oxy.]

i was disappointed, only 2/20 of the people on my wishlist made the lineup. imo, last years lineup was better.

as for people i want to see:

beach fossils

black lips

braids

cold cave

the foreign exchange

the love language

toro y moi

j mascis

twin shadow

i was certain i was going, but now i'm unsure. i'm more focused on putting as much money aside as i can for coachella next year (determined not to miss it for the 4th time in a row). who knows, if it doesn't sell out, i might buy an all club pass for $65 at the last minute. how about you?

[chchchip]

last years lineup was definitely better. I'm okay with this one especially for the price. I'd like to go. I've never been to Raleigh before and I'd like to go and make a weekend out of it. It depends on where I am with jobs and shit since I'm graduating in 2 weeks. Not sure what my funds will be like.

new washed out:

[mmfood]

I saw Washed Out with Madlib last Saturday in Asheville NC. They're not as good live. Its was very percussion-driven, not so much dreamy synthy sound like in Life of Leisure. I enjoyed it though. and Madlib was dope too

[cyberPUNK]

anybody know if there's any chance of toro at fuji rock this year?

[chchchip]

^haven't heard him talk about playing that.

I agree. It's a lot different than they're recorded stuff. But the show would be a lot worse if Ernest was playing by himself same with Toro.

[AL-9000]

i don't even know if this is the right place for this

but dat zomby x panda bear jam

fuck

edit: here's a youtube vid

sounds a lot like it's just a reworked version of his song 'spirals' but i'm still so down with it

speaking of washed out, i'm excited for his new album
