Okay, so maybe you were expecting this week’s SOTW to be Of Montreal at Minglewood tonight. That’s what you’d expect from any hip, vinyl-loving, indie-promoting blog, right? Plus, let’s face it, that show will probably be great. I’m sure there’ll be some live animals on stage, lots of crazy ass / ”really hip” makeup, and of course, some revealing cross-dressing. And there will probably be some sort of bondage trapeze situation, a number involving a live screen printing of that night’s show poster using Kevin Barnes’ blood as ink, and overhearing some girl say, “Oh wow, did you see the way he wore that bear suit??? It, like, so really captured the essence of the neo-post-premodernism that is blahblahsomecrapaboutnothing.”
However, this week’s show you need to go to is BIG. And I mean actually, literally BIG. Like arena, giant stage, enormous lights BIG, oh, and the best rock and roll show you’ll ever see: The Foo Fighters. And I’m not even gonna try to sell you on why you need to go. The stage and the lights have nothing to do with it. They don’t need any of that. They can play in your garage next to your tools and refrigerator and they’d still blow your freaking brains. As a matter of fact…..
Plus, Motorhead (yes, Motorhead) and Biffy Clyro are opening. Friday night at FedEx Forum. Ticket information is below.
