Checking out any bands this summer?

Asked by Mama_Cakes (11173points) July 16th, 2013

My partner and I don’t have a lot of money kicking around at the moment. Most of our spare change is going towards camping (which we love). Normally, we take in quite a few concerts during the summer. This summer, though, we’re only going to see The Cult.

How about you?

Ohhhhhh I’m so jealous!! I love The Cult.
I am going to zero concerts this summer. I’m saving all my money for my move to New York.
I would have loved to see Pitbull though.

I’m going to see Nine Inch Nails in Paris because I’ll be missing them stateside…

@bookish1 – Saw NIN at Axis in Boston in 1989. It was a good show.

@zenvelo Jealous!

I actually haven’t been to a concert since Dec 31 2011 which is extremely odd for me. Only concert I really have plans to see this summer is Rodrigo y Gabriela next month.

@bookish1 Never got a chance to see NIN myself. My mom got too see them open for Bowie before…. still jealous about that one.

Whoever happens to be on at Manchester Pride this year. I know Patrick Wolf is back this year, I saw him 2 years ago and he’s great. Looking forward to seeing The Mend and Sam Gray too.

I’ve never been to a concert, but I love music. I live a few feet away from a place where many famous bands play yearly.

My band just opened up for Dropkick Murphys this weekend. Does that count as “going”?

Mama_Cakes's avatar

Very cool! ^^

downtide's avatar

@Axemusica thats ten times better than “going”. Dropkick Murphys are awesome, I’d love to see them live.

Couldn’t get real good sound quality, but GoPro’s do make for good footage. :)
