Music


I tried to make a list of all the bands I've seen over the years. Obviously I've forgotten some, and gotten the venues wrong for others, but I think it's fairly close. Usually I only go to see bands that I've listened to a lot beforehand, so I know what to expect - therefore basically every concert I've been to in the below list has been either good or great. However if I had to make a best list of live performances, I would include:
  • Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (three times)
  • Grouplove (two times)
  • Metallica (three times)
  • Metric (three times)
  • Muse (four times)
  • Spoon (three times)
  • The Chemical Brothers (five times)
  • The Go! Team (two times)
  • The Killers (four times)
  • The New Pornographers (four times)
  • The Polyphonic Spree (two times)
  • The Shins
  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs (twice)
