Is this for Dweezil? (Or is it another hologram tour, haha)
Next up for me is Dark Star Orchestra with Melvin Seals/JGB at the Berkeley Greek. Theyāll be recreating the Deadās 7/13/84 show at the same venue on its 40th anniversary.

Iāll be there! Never seen Dark Star but always heard good things, and havenāt seen JGB in a long time. Crazy Dark Dtar gets to headline the Greek.

Bummed she wasnāt coming back to Bay Area. I saw her last year in Oakland and there was only like 10 people because Les Claypool was playing at the Fox like 2 blocks away. I really love her stuff and she deserves a bigger US following.

Nice, see you there! Iāve never seen either of these bands but Iām sure itāll be a good time. Was surprised at the venue too when it was announced but not complaining, lol.
Tropical Fuck Storm on Saturday
really looking forward to it

JRAD with Branford Marsalis at Red Rocks on June 1 was seriously maybe my favorite experience seeing Grateful Dead music live. The Wharf Rat > Cassidy segment of the show had the most mindbending jams Iāve ever heard JRAD spit out.
Somewhat quiet summer for me in Colorado while I hustle up bones for Gizz tour but got an Adrienne Lenker (Big Thief) solo show at the Mission Ballroom in Denver next week that Iām quite excited for.
Vampire Weekend seem to be putting on a good show this tour, taking my Mom to their RR show and then hitting Dillon Amphitheater the next day. Their new album is easily my AOTY so far and maybe their best so those will be real fun.
After that Iām hitting the East Coast for Gizz tour early to hit Billy Strings in Worcester and JRAD in Maine before going down to Philly to stay with friends until DC. Got fun stuff until then for sure but my eyes are on the prize right now.

Mdou Moctarās current tour is fire. Go see him if you can.
Wilco blew me away two nights ago. People say theyāre the best live band around, and I canāt think of anyone better TBH.
Flaming Lips and Cake later this summer! Slift US tour in the fall!!!

People should try to check out Glass Beams. Just got tickets for them in September and my buddies who saw em this past month were very impressed. Seems like quite a good show.
im going to Glass Beamsā Mission Ballroom show but something about their trajectory seems extremely in-authentic to me. Never seen a two night Cervantes debut and a Mission Ballroom show in a bandās first year touring the US like this.
That said, really like what Iāve heard from them and hope they impress me enough that I stop thinking about industry plant type stuff.
Perhaps Iām just missing the trick here but they sound a bit like a Kruangbin facsimile, which to me just is just groovy background music. Perhaps they are better live?
