How To Discover New Music (Part 2)

June 11, 2010 / aftertheshow

Part 1 of “How to Discover New Music” (read it here) was all about good music podcasts.

Part 2 is about attending concerts.

Make sure to get there early to catch the opening acts of bands that you already like. Sometimes, the opening bands are chosen by a band’s record label rather than by the band itself, but seeing opening bands nevertheless exposes you to music you probably haven’t heard before.

I’ve stood through my share of awful and/or boring opening acts, but I’ve discovered some of my favorite artists just because they were the opening band for another band I already liked.

Real life examples: Ben Lee opened for Phantom Planet, Eisley opened for New Found Glory, Brandi Carlile opened for Hanson, and The Bridges opened for Rooney.

On the flip side, say a band you like is opening for a different (bigger) band that you haven’t heard of before. Don’t just leave right after the band you came to see played — stick around for the headlining act, and you just might discover a new favorite band.

Real life example: The Like opened for The Sounds.

Funny Band Interviews

November 30, 2009 / aftertheshow

At a live concert, stage banter is an important element of the show. Likewise, band interviews should not be boring/dull.

Here are three funny band interviews from YouTube:

1. Uh Huh Her

This is a snippet from an interview from 2008. The interviewer asked the question “Do you have any vices?”

2. Eisley

3. The Like

This is the funniest interview of the three: It’s from 2006. Simon Amstell hosts this British fake/joke radio show, and Z doesn’t seem to be in on the joke.

Update: This video is gone from the internet forever 🙁
