June 22, 20233 yr If anyone is of the era, looks like a big show in November. https://www.darkerwavesfest.com
June 22, 20233 yr What's that in 80's money? https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=1&year1=198001&year2=202305 Divide by 3.91 apparently. Let's call it 4 for simplicity.
June 22, 20233 yr As much as I grew up with and like/love many of those bands, I wouldn't pay that $ or face that crowd. I've been lucky enough to see my favorites, The Chameleons, several times in one form or another. And they definitely still have "it."

June 22, 20233 yr I'm not saying I'd ever pay that amount for any combination of living artists, but it doesn't seem crazy to me compared to a Rolling Stone show or Taylor Swift next month in a football stadium...
June 22, 20233 yr $200 for an all day festival pass with a ton of bands? Seems fair to me. I don't know?
June 22, 20233 yr I'm curious about the hierarchy. I don't pretend to know how these bands have aged in culture, but X really level four? Soft Cell above The Furs, OMD, and Violent Femmes? Tears for Fears above B-52s and Devo? Or are the lines themed?
June 23, 20233 yr I am lucky enough and old enough to have seen the ones that I would like to see, back in the day (save OMD - I didn't make it to that one).
June 23, 20233 yr Maybe these would be appropriate https://www.theverge.com/23768814/sennheiser-soundprotex-hi-fi-earplugs-review

July 21, 20232 yr Went up to Madison, WI on the 28th to see Garbage (and Noel Gallagher, not so much for him). Concert was cancelled due to smoke, but my friend's daughter found a Zappa tribute band from Milwaukee playing at a local venue called Crucible. Opening band was from Madison, and was pretty good. The Zappa tribute band was quite good, though I didn't hear any recognizable Zappa songs. Note the Zappa effigy behind the guitarist (T-shirt on it said titties something). One of the guys said they are going to Germany to play in a Zappa competition. First 2 pics of the opening band, second 2 of the Zappa band. Made up (kind of) for the concert being cancelled. Also, some really good pizza up there (Ian's and Grampa's). My wife said that Grampa's might be the best she's ever had. Close for me. Edited July 21, 20232 yr by Pars
July 23, 20232 yr cracker, the 90s alt rock band that used to be camper van beethoven they’re now about 50% country. And did Euro trash girl as a country song.
July 23, 20232 yr Well this is a new one. I was right about to get on the Golden Gate Bridge on my way to see Paramore (bought the tickets last year) and they cancelled the show... 30 minutes before the doors were supposed to open! Only reason I wasn’t already down there and parked is because I had planned on skipping the openers. Chase Center sits 20,000. I imagine I’m not alone in feeling pretty pissed off. Oh well, shit happens. Hell no I’m not going to the make up date. They can refund me. https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/music/paramore-postpones-chase-center-show-two-hours-before-concert
