The Decemberists - multiple times, always a good show

The Long Winters - multiple times, always a good show

Electric Six - multiple times, absolutely amazing live, highly recommended

Weezer - past their prime, you’re better off listening to the albums at home

The Hold Steady - multiple times, not that good live

The Pipettes - amazing performance, very fun

Aleks & the Drummer - multiple times, sadly now defunct but so much better live than their already great studio work

Side Walk Slam - multiple times, mostly at music festivals; really fun guys and generous to fans

Zapruder Point - once live, fun but not a big experience change from their studio recordings

The Mountain Goats - once live, venue was terrible, makes it hard to evaluate the performance

Amy Ray - electric performer, worth seeing, I’d love to see her live again

Franz Ferdinand - too commercial, very rehearsed live, no real improvement in experience over studio recordings

Torres - good energy, nice show, would see again live but not as a priority
