Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings (aka, Amy Winehouse's band)
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals
Big Sam's Funky Nation
Velvet Revolver

The Go-Gos

March

SXSW - Gosh, only 1100 bands in 4 days. Of course, I won't see all of them...Lou Reed is this year's keynote speaker, REM and My Morning Jacket have just been confirmed.

I plan to see Young too. Gutter Twins and Band Of Horses. Okkervil River and Patrick Watson. I already saw Bruce, and I'm gonna follow Lindsey on a big part
of his European No One Knows My Name-Tour, just after his sametitled-doublealbum came out in September.

I loved The Stage Names too. Have you heard the acoustic version?

I saw Bruce just before Christmas - amazing! That's why I'm going again in a few months. I saw Band Of Horses last year and they were great. The best beard I've seen in rock in a long time

I'll be following Lindsey around on his tour too. I've heard he's only playing tiny venues, all 1000 capacity or less! It's gonna be f**king awesome!

I'll upload it for you! It was an extra disc with the limited edition.

Also they posted a free Christmas EP on their official website. I don't know if it's still there, but if not I can upload that for you as well.

You need to check out these guys too:

I'm listening to their album now, it's so great. I'm certain you would love it too.

The Von Bondies
New York Dolls
Lee Rocker
Siouxsie
The Horrorpops
Reverend Horton Heat
The Pretty Things (maybe)

Besides my friends' bands, that's about it. I'd love to go to SXSW this year, but I'm supposed to be moving in October, so money is going to be tight - definitely not doable I head that The Rezillos and The Pretenders are possibly going to be touring this summer, so I'd like to catch either or. Here's to hoping..

[golddustwoman77]

As it stands right now......Richard Thompson, B.B. King, and Bruce Springsteen. These are all in the next couple of months.

[Stew_Matthews]

In the next three months -

Editors
Lenny Kravitz
Foo Fighters
Robert Cray
Cowboy Junkies
Van Halen
