The YYYs are on my bucket list too. Along with the Kills.

My favourite gig ever was the Gossip too, but being on the other side of the atlantic, it was in Glasgow. It was a small venue under a railway bridge, the atmosphere was electric – I’d pay 5 times as much to see them live again :)

Did not expect it but mumford and sons were epic at splendour last year… so was Washington

Best Experience: Either the first time I saw Tegan and Sara (CLICHE) or Los Campesinos. Los Camp put on one hell of a show. You could feel the floor flexing under us all jumping to the music.
Most Anticipated: I’m seeing Ted Leo tomorrow, so that’s going to be fun
Have to See Live Before You Die: I need to see The Magnetic Fields once. I bet that would be amazing.

Obvs T&S were great, but I also loved The Faint and I had my socks blown off by this band that opened for Sleater Kinney in 2000 called: The White Stripes.

I would love to see Bloc Party and apparently they’ve just reunited! SO MANY EXCITED FEELINGS.

Best Experience: Girl in a Coma @ Soda Bar in San Diego, 2010
Best T&S Experience: In Malibu in this teeny venue in 2007 touring before “The Con” was released.
Most Anticipated: Excuses for Skipping soon (I hope)
Have to See Live Before You Die: Pony Up! (if they ever tour again)

best experience: tie. cat power, I was so close I almost thought I felt sweat drip from her face. MSTRKRFT, I danced for three hours straight w/o stopping. amazing!
most anticipated: lykke li and beirut, this summer.
have to see before you die: BSS, including all the original members. I can die happy after this.

Best experience: Dave Matthews at Rothbury Fest 2008
Most anticipated: U2 + Florence and the Machine, this summer
Have to see before you die: Can you believe I’ve never seen T&S live? The next tour for sure.
