I like a balanced lineup, variety, and definitely the ladies. Got really pumped over Bama Shakes first album and excellent Hangout performance, but did not like or buy their second album. Should be a good show though. Anybody on here in our Hangout crew live Dallas area? Looks like I'm going to be in Plano Columbus Day weekend. Bought tix for Jason Isbell in Choo-choo-ville Nov 8th. Today I found out Boz Scaggs playing Tivoli Nov 11th. Dang.
BOB WTF YOU BETTER GET IUT AND BUY THAT DAMN ALBUM. ITS THE TRUTH!
Spent my monthly tunes allowance on Boz Scaggs, Metallica, GNR, and some Eagles, Little River Band, and a Wet Willie hits...Strutting My Stuff Now. I like the Shakes...but not that much.

cant lie i was disappointed in the Shakes last night. they played an indoor/outdoor amphitheater and the sound for the outside was not that good on her mic and the whole thing wasnt loud enough for us, sounded better when i walked through the inside though. But there was no energy to the show at all and even with an encore of 4-5 songs they still didnt play Hold On and closed with one of their slowest songs. Drive By Truckers opened and managed to play for over an hour and that was really boring too.
Going to see another Hangout alum in the Suffers next week so hopefully they bring it like they did on the beach

Who are some newer rock bands that you like?
You like Tame Impala?
I like Tame Impala, but I do not consider them a rock band.
Some new rock groups and older classic rockers with new releases I like: Shinedown, Bring Me The Horizon, Foo Fighters, Chris Cornell (Higher Truth released this morning!), David Gilmour and Keith Richards new albums are listed as Rock. Need to Breathe is listed as Rock. Ann Wilson's new album is Rock and awesome.
I do not like the rock-biker or rock-satanic stuff.
2014 Sales of Albums by genre: 1) Rock 85.25 M, 2) R&B 35.7M, 3) Country 30.46M, 4) Christian and Gospel 17.3M, 5) Latin 8.7M and 6) Dance/EDM 5.26
2014 Nielsen total consumption: 1) Rock 29%, 2) R&B hip Hop 17%, 3) Pop 14.9%, 4) Country 11.9%, 5) Christian/Gospel 3.1%, 6) EDM/Dance 3.4%, 7) Holiday Seasonal 2.6% 8) Jazz 1.7%, and 9) Children 1%
Say what you want, but a HOMF with Eric Church, Muse and Justin Timberlake as headliners (Country, Alternative and Pop) would sell big-time. I would definitely want to see all three. Tedeschi-Tedeschi-Tedeschi...LOL....Have a great weekend.

Not a popular opinion here, but the Shakes are just super boring IMO. DBTs, while I think have some pretty genius lyrics - what country should be, I can't totally get into live either.

i got more into the Shakes songs in my headphones then i did live. Truckers did have some good lyrics on the occasions i paid attention the songs and i dont even think they were bad but i just couldnt get into it. There was zero energy in the lawn part where i was, hardly anyone standing and so many just talking the whole time. I would gladly give them another shot if it were on the beach but i didnt get my 43$ worth thats for sure

I'm not in to the Shakes either. My buddy gave them the epic label of "drunk Aunt-rock."
Plenty of smart azzes on here today. But love yall for supporting the Hangout Thread to 500 before May 2016 effort! Funny. The stats are from Nielsen and others. I did not generate them. The genres were from itunes and not me. I like all kinds of music and people and don't rail on folks because they are different like a lot of folks posting on here. Sometimes performers I like lay an egg in concert or release a really strange song, but that's life. If you like satanic whatever or alternative or country...go for it.
I love the superfurryanimal handle so gonna always have a kind place in my heart for you...my friend is a biker and the bands he listens to I call biker rock. You want some psychedelic rock...you got it. It is a burger king world...you want it...you got it.
I like Eric Church, Muse and Justin Timberlake. Excellent entertainers and would make awesome headliners.
All this anti-Shakes talk has me bummed. Going to see them next week and was pretty excited. Haven't seen them before and while I like them, I am not a HUGE fan. I'm pretty close to the stage so maybe that will help. You'd figure they'd be high on Hangout's 2016 list of probables right?
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
Seeing Kendrick next weekend at LiB. Interested to see if he's gotten better live.
Edit: Also, in regards to the Shakes, I'm indifferent on them as well. I'd check them out at a fest but I don't really listen to them on my own and wouldn't see them at their own show. If we're talking acts that hit the fest circuit last year and Hangout's getting the leftovers, gimme Alt-J, Tame Impala, Royal Blood, Run The Jewels, Florence, and Death Cab over the Shakes.
Psychedelica-satanica is def my favorite genre of music. Great bands from that genre that would be superb at Hangout:
The Melting Crowleys Skinsuit Goathead Kaleidoscope Pentagram The Backwards Mask
If those aren't real band names, then kudos. Skinsuit Goathead in to The Backwards Mask creates serious grandeur.
Backwards Mask is great. I saw their Halloween gig when they actually covered "The Mask" soundtrack while, of course, playing backwards. The wrinkle was playing left handed on right handed instruments.
Damien's Redrum has always been my favorite though....kind of in the psych freak folk satanic world.
Soo Muse added a couple more tour dates the week of Hangout. They're gonna be overseas till 5/18. They could def play that Saturday headlining slot still but I feel like it'd be a hell of a move by goldenvoice to pull their asses over to the states for a weekend like that. Hoping it happens but looking less likely now.

They don't suck at all. But live, it's just not all that. We saw them at Bonnaroo 2012 and it was decent. I heard their set this year from my tent over in vip. It sounded good to listen to but I see them much more as a sort of stand and sway to band than anything high energy.

It's not happening. They're doing a 360 degree arena tour. They're not gonna pause that, do a quick festival set in Alabama with different production, then go back to the arena set-up.
