Show Advice Por Favor

[hollyxxx]

So I live in Portland, and this Sunday, Anberlin is playing with Straylight Run, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and some other band I've never heard of/don't care about. Tickets are $15 advance, 17 door. I like Straylight Run a lot, and same goes for Anberlin... just not into their most recent album as much as I was into Cities. So I'm wondering if it's worth it, though I think it probably is.

Also Kings of Leon are playing a significantly bigger venue on the 21st with the Stills, another two bands I quite like. In fact I'd say KOL > Straylight Run > Anberlin > the Stills. We Are Scientists is opening, but I've never heard them. Heard of, yes, but not heard, actually. So, tickets to KOL are about $40 with service charge.

Should I go to both? One or the other? Help please. I don't really know who is better live and all that but pretty much any advice would be nice.

This could go in the music forum, but see Straylight Run. Bring earplugs for Scary Kids.

i'm going to the anberlin tour.
they're amazing live and it's not that expensive.

[anamericangod]

It's worth it for Straylight Run alone. They put on a phenomenal show, and Anberlin has been really good each time I've seen them as well.

Go to that show, buy a shirt, meet the bands, have a great time.

[hollyxxx]

Well, definitely going to the Sunday show then. Sounds like it should be good. No takers for Kings of Leon though? They have some great stuff...

[IcedOpethBlind]

didnt read anything but the bands


dont go

[IcedOpethBlind]

actually KOL & The Stills go to that

[hollyxxx]

actually KOL & The Stills go to that
Of course. Any basis on this?

[IcedOpethBlind]

because theyre both good and much better than the other bands you listed :shrug:

[IcedOpethBlind]

have you checked out The Stills album from this year? its really good, may change your judgement on them...

Yeah, I just got it. I like Being Here a lot but haven't gotten into the rest quite yet. Really liked Logic Will Break Your Heart, but that was years ago.

[fake empire]

Go to the Kings of Leon show. The other show sucks and Anberlin is worthless

[hollyxxx]

Hahahaha. I love AP.net.

[IcedOpethBlind]

its true though, just sayin'

[up da punx]

Kings of Leon!

[hollyxxx]

its true though, just sayin'
$40 bucks though... I don't know. That's a lot of bubble tea.

[IcedOpethBlind]

yeah thats a few 24-packs....but you only live once.

Yeah. Another good drag is coercing someone into going with me. Someone I know, that is.

[awakeohsleeper]

Anberlin all the way. Forget Kings of Leon.

[mattmatumbo]

i hate them all, i say wait and save your money for when genghis tron comes to town.

[DaveZeroZero]

Did you have to post this in every forum?

[pilot_light_out]

you should just stay home and masturbate

[Burning Star IV]

Go to both, duh.

[DaveZeroZero]

you should just stay home and masturbate
I know that's what I'd do.

[Burning Star IV]

Masturbation >>> Kings of Leon

[pilot_light_out]

thats a given

[updownleftright]

i seriously had to look at the date on the OP's post to see if Scary Kids were still playing shows or not. Unfortunately it appears so, but definitely see SR. love them live.

[4N6 science]

Straylight Run and Anberlin is clearly the correct choice. I'm going to that concert in 3 weeks.

[.invisible ink.]

if you can afford it, go to both. if not, i'd pick Anberlin/Straylight Run personally.
