Music that’s coming to Central Florida (or should be)
* First off! Weird Al is going to be at the Hard Rock Live next week, and I am going, and I am SO INCREDIBLY STOKED. I’ve seen him twice before (the “Poodle Hat” tour and the “Straight Outta Lynwood” tour) and he put on an amazing, unforgettable show each time. If you like him, GO SEE HIS SHOW.
* The Sextreme Ball at Firestone. My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Lords of Acid, Blownload, and DJ Deathwish. I swear I have been waiting to go to this show since 8th grade. (Mostly because of Lords of Acid, and to a lesser extent Thrill Kill Kult…) Seriously, I cannot tell you how much time I spent scouring mp3 sharing websites (yes, before Napster!) trying to get all the tracks off of Lust… I cannot WAIT for this show. August 4th!
* Speaking of 1997… Lilith Fair. Back in the day I wanted SO BAD to go to Lilith Fair, and I was crushed when it ended… needless to say, I went nuts when I found out it was coming back. And then I was crushed again when they cancelled all their Florida shows for this year =( Not just the Florida shows even, but EVERYTHING in the Southeast. (Because, honestly, I probably would have gone to Georgia or Alabama to see this.) Obviously I’m hoping they’ll come our way next year, but all these cancellations due to “one of the most challenging summer concert seasons” don’t bode well.
I don’t blame them for the Arizona cancellation, though. Especially when the
racism
and
crazy
just
keeps
coming…
* Psychostick! I missed these guys (with Green Jelly too!) a couple months ago and was SO SAD. I found out, like, the day after the show. I keep checking their tour dates page, but they don’t seem to be coming back to Florida any time soon… sadface. They’re pretty funny, and the videos I’ve seen of them live make it seem like they put on a pretty decent show.
