Hip band Clutch is performing at the Norva Theater in downtown Norfolk, Virginia on Tue Apr 10th. Tickets go on-sale Fri 2/28 at 10:am and are $19 (plus $6.50 in fees, so $25.50) in advance, or $23 (plus fees) the day of the show.
I don’t have definite plans to go to this show as of yet, but if someone could hook me up with a comp ticket or two, that would be great! I’d love to write up a review of this show. Get ahold of me at info@HipsterApproved.net
Nico covers ‘My Funny Valentine’ on Camera Obscura
I want to go to there…
Hope you were able to catch Bon Iver on Saturday Night Live last night. Unfortunately I missed it due to being heavily sedated and overly comfortable. Also…I’m an ‘Oldster’.
Anyway, I went to my trusty stand-by…youtube. It seems NBC doesn’t like it’s shows on there and has them pulled off. I was able to find the link that is posted above, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets pulled soon. Sorry for the big white ads across the bottom… You can go to nbc.com to see the full videos, I just can’t post them here…
The Tool show in Hampton, Virginia last night was awesome! I didn’t have the best seats, but it sounded great, and I had a pretty good view. Too bad I wasn’t able to get any pictures.
Just in case you couldn’t make it….I found a video on youtube that someone shot at the tour opener in Reno in January….full-show….enjoy!
I got a link to this video in the HipsterApproved mailbox and wanted to share it. It’s fun to watch with another hipster and see who can name the TV show first!
Turns out the Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra is an 8 piece string ensemblet that makes theme music for TV shows, such as Pawn Stars. Which is HUGE! You can check out their other videos at their YouTube channel.
One other thing we got here that I think is worth sharing with you is a cool video by a hipster Dad and his kids. This guy seems to love Depeche Mode…could be worse. Check it out…
They also do a really cool Strangelove!
Excellent hipster band St Vincent will be performing at Richmond, Virginia’s National Theater on Thurs May 24th 2012.
Tickets go on sale Fri Jan 27th. $21 a ticket after you add the service charge.
Jeff Mangum, former frontman of ultra-hip band Neutral Milk Hotel has added a few more dates to his current tour…including Coachella.
Unfortunately for me…the closest he’s coming here is the Lincoln Theatre (with the Music Tapes) in Washington, DC next week, Jan 27th and 28th. And as of yet, I have no confirmed plans to attend either show. It appears neither show has two seats together at this time. (Tickets could still be put back into the TicketMaster system until it is officially labeled sold out.) (If someone makes it to a show, and would like to be a contributor…let me know at info@HipsterApproved.net)
While poking around Pitchfork.com I came across this video of a surprise set at Occupy Wall Street in NYC this past Oct. Pretty cool….
Did you catch ‘internet sensation’ Lana Del Rey on SNL this past Saturday? It seems her performance is being bashed pretty hard. I thought it was OK. I’m not really familiar with her work, so I didn’t have a reference to compare it to. I definitely think she’s a hipster.
I just remembered there’s a free download of her single ‘Born to Die’ still available on iTunes. So you may want to get that.
I heard at the end of the show that on Saturday Feb 4th, Bon Iver is the musical guest. REALLY looking forward to that. If you’re not familiar with Bon Iver, you really owe it to yourself to check it out!
