Concert Listings Roundup #291

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.


Gig of the week:

Mechanical Forest Sound's 10th Anniversary Celebration: A Night of Rock Music! (feat. Hooded Fang / Man Made Hill / Matthew "Doc" Dunn + Friends / Triples) / The Baby G 2019-03-02 (Saturday) [FB event]

Here's the reason for the season! This blog never had an agenda or end goal — it just became what it became over time. But somehow, this has been a part of my life for ten years. To celebrate, I've asked a few peeps that I've met along the way (like Hooded Fang, who I saw for the first time at the second show I ever wrote up) to join me for a little ol' party. It's been a joy to watch artists like Doc Dunn and Man Made Hill experiment and branch out in different directions, and while everyone here is still creating fab new work (this ain't a nostalgia trip) I'm also thrilled to have Triples, who I saw for the first time at Long Winter just a couple weeks back, as a reminder that there's always another discovery possible at the next gig.

DJ's LordAUK (from Doomsquad) & ZONES will push the party outward for those staying up late and there will be a chance to grip a limited preview edition of the first of a pair of MFS 10th anniversary compilation tapes. It would mean a bunch to me if you could join me for this!
