The "Making Contact With Friendly Aliens Tour" continues. Last night: A terrific #DIY space in #Graz, a fantastic concert, then an evening with the organisers and other musicians. It's so cool that there's so many talented people doing cool stuff - there is hope, people!

Live Music in 2025

My New Years resolutions speculations post from a few weeks ago included seeing more live music this year. I’ll use posts like this one to sort of take notes on shows that may be coming to my neck of the woods (or not) that I would like to try and work up the energy/courage to go see. We’ll see how this list develops over the course of the year.

• Tsunami on March 23rd at the Crystal Ballroom in Somerville Theatre
  • Yes I want to see this show. Will I? I don’t know. Tickets are already on sale.
• Throwing Muses
  • No US dates have been announced though there are shows on the books in Europe. If they play in the US you are probably going to have to chain me to a wall and lock me in a dungeon to keep me away.
• Steven Wilson
  • No US dates have been announced though there are shows in Europe (a lot of them) and word is that US/North American shows are coming. I would like to see him but how badly I want to go depends on his next record, which comes out in March. If it’s really good, then I will try to see a show, assuming he plays in/around Boston.
• Lizardfish
  • Duh

More to come as the year rolls on. I want 2025 to be a more musical year, but how badly do I want that? I’ll let you know as things develop.
