Now Playing: Made Concrete by The Republic Tigers
Okay, so a little about me, who I am, what I've seen and done, and what I plan to do. My name is Carmen, and my sister Cha Cha and I are avid concert junkies. Every artist we enjoy... well we want to see them live, meet them, the whole deal. We both have -very- different music tastes, depending on the genre, but between the two of us, we have covered pretty much a full spectrum of music tastes, from Indie to shoegaze, alternative to black metal.
So as far as concerts....who have we seen? Well here's the list of the ones that we have documented (in chronological order):
Everclear - Gavin Degraw - Rodney Atkins - The Features - Twin Atlantic - Neon Trees - AWOLNATION - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Phish - The Beach Boys - Bon Iver - The Avett Brothers - The Shins - Foster The People - Skrillex - Rodrigo y Gabriela and C.U.B.A - Feist - The Roots - Alice Cooper - Ludacris - Ben Folds Five - Flogging Molly - Puscifer - Mac Miller - Childish Gambino - The Temper Trap - City and Colour - Young The Giant (x2) - Two Door Cinema Club - Fun. - Fitz & The Tantrums (x2) - Kurt Vile & The Violators - Alabama Shakes - Das Racist - The Dirty Guv'nahs - Trampled by Turtles - The War on Drugs - Grouplove - K-Flay - The Lonely Forest - Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. (x2) - Unchained "The Mighty Van Halen Tribute" - Art Vs. Science - Chappo (x2) - Cosmic Suckerpunch - Oberhofer (x3) - Rubblebucket - The Silent Comedy - The Killers - The Black Keys - Jack White - Death Cab for Cutie - Bassnectar - Modest Mouse - Yeasayer - Girl Talk - Silversun Pickups - OK Go - Cold War Kids - The Wallflowers - Cults - Walk The Moon - Polica - Mariachi El Bronx - Matt Costa - Kids These Days
We have a small number under our belt already and plan to go to very many more (we are no longer under the umbrella of the "I can go if mom takes me" folks. Ahhh, mobility!). We have been to festivals such as Firefly and Bonnaroo, and plan to go to many more, some we are trying to make plans for are the Midtown Music fest in Atlanta and possibly the Voodoo Fest in New Orleans, LA.
Music is the big tie that binds us together. Though we argue and whatnot, the one thing that always brings us together is music, and it is how we deal with our problems as a whole.
As far as this blog, this is for us, and for you, the reader, to see what live shows are like with different artists, as well as to inform you of our opinions (if you want them) of bands, new releases, live performances, and also tips and hints for surviving concerts and festivals (both are completely different animals!). Music is an experience, and we hope to give you the full monty! We may throw in the occasional musical or movie soundtrack, and also share bands we find through twitter (It's amazing how many budding bands will take time to send stuff your way!). Be sure to add me, @BelleCoquine. If you like music, or you make music, I always follow back, and inbox me something you want me to check out. It may just end up on the blog! The next post shall be Your Music Festival Survival Guide! If there is anything left out, be sure to shoot me an email at Carmen.Laughlin@rocketmail.com!
