Update
The Get Up Kids in Columbus was a bucket list show for me. They were playing their influential 1999 album "Something to Write Home About" in full. It was great, I felt 17 years old again.
Ken Mode at Westside Bowl was also good. I didn't know much about Ken Mode, but they put on a great show, local opener Rebreather was great and Hide was definitely something, not my cup of tea, but I can listen to anything.
Here is my updated upcoming.
11/8 Cursive/Gladie, Grog Shop, Cleveland
11/23 Saves The Day/Senses Fail, House of Blues, Cleveland
12/13 Red Mars Sky/Howling Giant, Westside Bowl, Youngstown
1/28 Donny Benet, Grog Shop, Cleveland
1/31 Kerry King/Municipal Waste/Alien Weaponry, House of Blues, Cleveland
2/5 Tim Heidecker/Neil Hamburger, Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland
Nice stretch there at the end of 3 concerts in 9 days. Super excited, all very different stuff.
Update. The Cursive show was top notch, they are lifers and always put on a great show. The Saves the Day show was another bucket list one for me, they played their influential 1999 album "Through Being Cool" in full. That album just holds a very special place in my heart. I could not listen to it for 100 years, then listen to it and remember everything about it. Not huge Senses Fail fan, but they put on a great show. I also went to this show with 3 of my oldest friends. Everything about it was great.
Mars Red Sky is stoner metal band from France. They were awesome and Howling Giant from Tennessee won my heart with their brand of metal.
I have added a bunch of shows at Westside Bowl, I won't list them here. If you ever get a chance to make it to Westside, you will not be disappointed. Just a top notch place with so much to offer.
About to start my stretch of 3 concerts in 9 days. All very different and I am really excited.
