I managed to check off Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear from by live band bucket list this year- both were amazing shows. I'm also looking forward to the Neil Finn and Paul Kelly tour next year.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990465234323413519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-58608723970972496742012-11-30T13:41:50.752+11:002012-11-30T13:41:50.752+11:00Ps - I feel your frustration with living in a smal...Ps - I feel your frustration with living in a small town - I experienced that when I lived in Albury. The cost of travel got expensive. Luckily I saw a few bands in Melbourne when I lived there, and a few bands in Albury, and moved to Melbourne aged 21.

I found them dull, but I think if I saw them now, with all their hits, I'd like them live more. <br />I was thinking of all those bands I've seen before they've made it big / I realised I saw Coldplay, The Frames and Boy and Bear, and also Kinbra and Missy Higgins before they had really made it!

My boyfriend loves th...I adore Simon and Garfunkel! My boyfriend loves them too, but he doesn't really have knowledge of classical music and just assumes their time has passed. When I told him S and G had a show a few years ago, he said, "I thought they were dead!" Next time they come here I definitely plan to see them.<br /><br />I shot myself in the foot last time You Am I had a gig somewhere out west in an RSL and I just bailed and didn't really try to go. Tim Rogers is at Homebake this year if you can manage to go. I'll be there but I'm not sure I'm keen on seeing him not as You Am I.<br /><br />The Smashing Pumpkins were on my list and I'm glad I finally got to see them this year. I missed out quite a few times before! I love the old lineup better but I will never see them - it was good enough seeing them live with the new lineup as they did play some classics.<br /><br />I also shot myself in the foot when I didn't really bother getting Soundwave tickets. I really want to see Bullet For My Valentine as they are one of my favourite metal bands. I hope they have a sideshow some time, maybe... <br /><br />I also shot myself in the foot when I missed out on Anberlin's shows. I was always so out of the loop when they had a show. This time I'm hoping I get to see them early next year. Rumour has it they are having an Australian tour. :3<br /><br />My all time favourite band Armor For Sleep disbanded in 2009 before I ever got a chance to see them, and their farewell tour was in New York. :( The closest I got to seeing them was seeing frontman Ben Jorgensen have a solo show here and he also played some acoustic Armor songs. I got to talk to him and he said he remembered my blog and other websites I created, which was really quite flattering! *_* I guess all in all that was much better than not seeing Armor at all.Georgiehttp://heartdrops.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-89463991799530981702012-11-30T08:49:44.747+11:002012-11-30T08:49:44.747+11:00You went to Momofuku NY??

George Michael was a big one for me, Madonna and U2, and Roxette.<br /><br />Great post idea!Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852274995696256872noreply@blogger.com
