Top Twelve Gigs of 2009

NUMBER ONE! October 6th: Fever Ray @ Glass House

This was an amazing gig. It was underattended. It was a special night.



NUMBER TWO - October 2nd: Thom Yorke + friends

I still can't believe I was at this show.



NUMBER THREE - Sept 10th: Nine Inch Nails @ Wiltern

Great show. Harder than hell to get in.



NUMBER FIVE - April 16th: My Bloody Valentine @ El Rey

Another amazing night and can't believe they let me in.



NUMBER SIX - March 21st: Black Mountain @ Echoplex

First time I had seen these guys, so it was a special night.



NUMBER SEVEN - August 29th: The Dead Weather @ San Diego Street Scene

If you went to one show this year, you should have saw these guys.



NUMBER EIGHT - July 2nd: Amazing Baby + Band of Skulls @ Hammer Museum

This gig was hilarious for all the nonsense surrounding it.




NUMBER NINE - Feb 27th: St. Vincent @ Great American Music Hall

This was the surprise show of this year's Noise Pop 2009.



NUMBER TEN - Oct 21st: The XX @ Mercury Lounge

People were lined up hours before the gig, and I was one of the last ones let in. This gig featured all four members.

NUMBER TWELVE - May 27th: The Prodigy @ Hollywood Palladium
