[DID NOT ATTEND: August 27, 2024] King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard / Geese

I’ve seen King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard three times.  Each time the show has gotten more and more crowded and chaotic (which is great for them but not so much for me).  The last time I saw them, I was pretty far back in the crowd and even that far back there was a lot of mini-pit situations going on.  I basically decided I wasn’t going to see them again, but I’d still love their music.

Then they announced this show at The Dell Music Center, which I’d never been to.  It’s an outdoor venue near the Mann Center.  It has seats (or bench seats at least) and promised that I’d get to see them without having to fight to stand up the whole time.  So I was pretty excited for this one.

[DID NOT ATTEND: September 26, 2023] Alex G / Alvvays

Just like last year’s Make the World Better Benefit, everything about this show was geared for me to enjoy.

Actually, that’s not entirely true.  I don;t really like Alex G.  In fact, the last single that got overplayed by him I did not like at all.

But I love Alvvays and would love to see them again.

Plus, this is a benefit show for Make the World Better.

We believe community-based redevelopment projects have a unique ability to strengthen neighborhoods by creating a sense of ownership over public spaces. We engage residents in all phases of a project, from concept to construction to ongoing programming and upkeep. We design with and for the community—pushing beyond typical play space design: we’ve built community garden plots and a media lab; we have painted murals and all of our projects have included green stormwater infrastructure.

I’ve never been to the Dell Music Center.  It’s an outdoor venue near The Mann Center which probably means parking sucks.  Although I see that it is mostly seated with just a little bit of lawn available.

However, this weekend was already busy enough.  So, we had to give it a miss.  It’s not sold out, but it’s pretty close.  So good for them.

[DID NOT ATTEND: July 23, 2022] Japanese Breakfast / Yo La Tengo / Cate Le Bon

Everything about this show was geared for me to enjoy.

I love Japanese Breakfast and have seen them twice (the las time was fantastic).

I have been a fan of Yo La Tengo for years but have never seen them live.

I have wanted to see Cate Le Bon for a few years now and have had a few shows cancelled on me.  [Although I will be seeing her in October].

Plus, this is a benefit show for Make the World Better.

However, we had tickets to Beach House and all four of us were going, so this show was shut out.
