I went to some great shows this year.
Saw Mark Kozelek...breathtaking music. (This is from a different show)
Braid reunion! Amazing.
Circa Survive. Not my fav band but I've known Anthony for a while and I like to support him. Plus I'm a fan of Geoff Rickly. I also saw their acoustic show the other night and met Geoff which was super cool.
Propagandhi - I actually MISSED their show (and I'm annoyed I did) but I've been listening to them a lot lately. Possibly the best Anarcho-punk (now more progressive thrash) band ever.
