Would love to have them back. Saw them my first time at Riot in 2018. Then saw em again at Salt Shed in 2024 when they headlined that Cool Love Warm Dreams fest.
I know they cancelled the tour last year due to a member being sick. Plus their album "Shot" turns 30 this year. Not sure what the overall likelihood. All I know is that Duane Denison is touring with Tomahawk but that tour ends a month before riot.
Hoping they play Riot Fest in Chicago the next weekend or do a tour around this
As that old saying goes, when you look through rose tinted glasses, the red flags just look like flags. Or sometimes you don't realize how toxic a situation was or how the signs were there all along till you got out. That said what red flags appeared early on that you either didn't notice or overlooked?
Mine did the push/pull thing right after the first date. It was weird because she reached out to me a few hours after the first date and then there was a huge shift in communication. I was worried maybe I'd fucked up on the date and didn't wanna come off too needy as I was blown away by the first date. But the next day, she put no effort in and then the next day I texted her and she'd give short replies until our conversation and texting picked up the next day and became more consistent. I just conflated it with general flakiness/ghosting as that happens all the time on dating apps. Apparently she wanted me to stay the night and go forward even though she didn't mention anything. Not to mention it was our first date and it lasted 2-3 hours.
Her saying our uber driver was a "bitch" and very weird for saying how we made her uncomfortable when we made out. We got drunk and were making out heavily in the back of an uber. Granted it was nighttime but we should have waited. The driver was polite when she said hey you're making me uncomfortable. At first I thought my exwBPD had an edge but that demonstrated lack of accountability and inability to take constructive criticism.
Her wanting to be with me ALL the time. The week we became official, I had a lot of concerts and despite that, I was seeing her like 3-4 days a week. Something felt off. Despite me making plenty of time for her, it made me feel "guilty" as she would give me the semi silent treatment and say "I wish you were here" and say "miss you" despite all the time we spent. Not to be digging for stuff. I get that it's normal to want to be with your partner a lot, but it felt like a bit..much? I found myself lying about being at a concert because of how bad she wanted to be with me. This was before the big split mind you.
Her love bombing and moving too quick. She was the first to say I love you, which was only 6 weeks after our first date. Now granted, I said it too but looking back, she said it a week after we became official. She also got concerned about minor things like not tagging her in multiple instagram stories even though i mentioned her in the first story. She also had me meet her family at Christmas, which was way too early for that, and also planned a big trip to Vegas, which we didn't go on, as she dumped me the day of my birthday party a month beforehand. Not to mention she went all out on me for Christmas by buying big gifts, only to pull a 180 because I didn't stay the night, followed by her asking for "space: then coming back apologizing only to repeat the devalue cycle and discard me the day of my birthday party.
For those who don't remember, the shoegaze band "Nothing" was supposed to play at Riot in 2023 and then got cancelled due to the rain delays.
I saw them at Metro in march and am seeing them again with Hum at Aragon later this month for that Slide Away fest, which is way beyond the 90 day radius clause. Hoping for a few shoegaze acts this year like MBV, Slow Dive, Catherine Wheel, and Whirr.
I'm a millennial (born 1990). My parents are both boomers approaching 70 and had my first brother when they were in their late 20s/early 30s. They had me when they were 33/32.
Anyways, with how expensive and exhausting life is nowadays, it makes me wonder how our parents did it. I work a 40 hour job and live by myself. I do have an active social life, but a lot of times I find that on the days I don't go out, after work, I just wanna rot on the couch after staring at screens all day. Been meaning to look for other jobs, but I find myself to be too burnt out to do that as working full time takes up most of our time. Hell, I even feel like watching a movie or tv show feels like an accomplishment.
Makes me wonder how our parents did it as I have 3 brothers. My dad worked overtime and my Mom was a stay at home for awhile and then ended up working as well. But to do all that and raise kids on top of it sounds exhausting. Makes me wonder how they did it.
For me, the burnout is real as despite working a full time job, wages aren't keep up with cost of living and I find myself needing side hustles regularly just to get ahead. Couldn't imagine throwing kids into that mix. I do hate how a lot of times I say Im gonna do something and then never get around to it, whether it's playing a video game, learning bass again, looking for other jobs. Surely I can't be the only one experiencing this.
