First TMG Concert

Me tomorrow night walking into my first Mountain Goats concert after 20+ years of being a fan!

Possibly unpopular opinion; there is no reason the mountain goats tickets should be so expensive in recent years. It use to be 33$ Canadian in 2018, cheaper in the previous years now the prices are ridiculous and for TMG an indie punk band to be charging so it feels scummy…

Eat the right? Well my faves are the rich now and apparently assume I’m also rich…bring back affordable concerts especially in the indie/punk scene

First TMG concert, second ever concert

Hey there howdy! I will be going to the Indy concert and was wondering if anyone could clue me into what all to expect? My first concert was not the greatest experience, so I am trying to prepare more. I am already bringing silicone ear plugs (loud noises are not my favorite thing). Social cues are also not my strong point, is there any particular concert etiquette I should be aware of? I am also unsure what time is normal to show up at. I am going with my boyfriend (experienced concert person, but his expertise is punk/metal shows and festivals). Any help/guidance will be appreciated!

In League with Dragons battle vest

all imagery/lyrics from ILWD! the back patch is taken from the playfield art of one of my favorite pinball machines, Sorcerer, and is glow in the dark and heavily bedazzled.

made with acrylic paint/fabric medium, embroidery floss, iridescent organza, E6000 adhesive, and one million rhinestones.

i want to have every song from the album represented on here, so there's more i'll be adding eventually, but this is what i'll be wearing at the shows starting tomorrow in Columbus through their stop in Athens. find me if you want stickers! (see my previous post in this sub)

I love the mountain goats

That’s all.

In a world where I might never be happy for so many existential and job-market related reasons I’m glad I can listen to the mountain goats and feel horrible in solidarity

No Children w/ Extended Intro in Boston

No Children in Boston with extended intro that was an impromptu "We're going to the First Church of Divorce" song. And here’s a video from last year where the No Children intro was the song’s full backstory about how John hated a Lee Ann Womack song: https://youtu.be/uBsRNn24drw. Mountain Goats playlist with individual song videos (lots to be added form the Boston show later today, as of the time of this posting): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2b-f8PfP5FxALw-vLs3qLzULQ1ydTvAe

Did I hallucinate them saying they were going to announce a San Francisco date right before the days announcement stuff?

Did I switch timelines? I can't find it anywhere! It was like a card image with some cities that said coming soon or similar.

Going Invisible 1 tab

I wanted to learn to play Going Invisible (the first one, the outtake from Get Lonely), and noticed that it was one of probably relatively few songs to not already have a tab or chords up on the wiki

So I figured I'd give it a shot myself! This is purely me figuring it out by ear, so I don't have very precise chord names (and I wouldn't be surprised if a few things are wrong here and there), but I'm sure someone else out there is looking for this too so I wanted to share it:

Open G tuning (DGDGBd)

Chords:
G - 0-0-0-0-0-0
C1 - x-0-2-0-1-0
D1 - x-0-4-0-3-0
A - 2-2-2-0-0-0
C2 - 5-5-5-0-0-0
D2 - 7-7-7-0-0-0
Cm - x-5-5-5-4-0
Em - 9-9-9-0-0-0

intro riff (reused throughout): G - C1 - G

verse: C1 - D1 - C1 - G

pre-chorus: A - C2 - G (after 2nd verse, on "something hidden in your hand": A - C2 - D2)

chorus: (G - C2) x2, D2 - C2 - G

bridge: (Cm - G) x3, A - Em - D2

This tour

hey gang how’s the vibe been this tour. love the band and have seen a half dozen times or so. the new album doesn’t really hit for me as much and haven’t seen them w out Peter. anyways just wondering how the new songs are hitting live and what’s it like as a 3 some. the last two new england shows I saw were both good but the one where right after Covid was maybe best show I’ve seen energy wise of any band then subsequent one was ok but everybody was sitting the whole time (probably venue related as it was atthe Wang or one of those old theater ones which can kill the energy pretty good)

FREE STICKERS IN COLUMBUS, KALAMAZOO, INDIANAPOLIS, ST. LOUIS, NASHVILLE, LEXINGTON, CHARLOTTE, AND ATHENS!

Got a fresh batch of free stickers for the upcoming May shows! The good news is that I managed to make and order stickers in time, the bad news is that the sticker printing company I use sent me an incomplete order and I'm short on stickers - so I will have far fewer to hand out at shows than I typically do. The Good News: Part II is that the sticker company is sending me a whole new batch to make up for their error! The Bad News: Part II is that it is extremely unlikely that I will receive them in time before we head out for Columbus in two days. The Good News: Part III is that if I run out of stickers before I get the chance to give you one, if you send me a self addressed envelope, I can send you some when I get home. Heck, you don't even have to be at the shows to get the stickers! Just DM me if you want some and I'll send back my address while supplies last.

If you don't know about my whole Sticker thing, I've been making stickers to give away at tMG shows since 2018. I show up to the venue to line up super early before doors to hang out, that's your best shot at getting one from me. Venues can be weird about letting me in with a ton of stickers, so I try to give away most and hang onto some to give away inside. Once in the venue, you can find me in The Bone Zone (the Matt Douglas side of the stage).

I try to hang onto some stickers when I go into the venue for people who are hanging around in The Bone Zone and for people who purposely seek me out, but I can't make any promises! Again, I will have more stickers arriving soon and can send you some when we get back home.

There is a growing number of people who make things to give away at tMG shows including but not limited to stickers, buttons, patches, friendship bracelets, and zines. If you like making things and connecting with people, join us! It's so much fun and has only ever enhanced the show going experience for me.

I've got super short split dyed black/blonde hair and will be wearing my seafoam green In League with Dragons themed battle vest with a bitchin' wizard back patch, so I should be super easy to spot. There's a picture of me in my post history if you want a better idea of who you are looking for.

Very stoked for these shows! u/abluecolor has the greenlight to tape this run, so if all goes smoothly, we'll have those for you sometime in June! You can listen to our last run of tapes from last December (and all of our other tapes) on our live music archive page. We've got a newsletter, POWER & ADRENALINE, that you can sign-up for if you want updates on all of our tMG related projects.

Hope to see y'all soon!

Hey, St. Louis, I have bracelets for you!

I made a bunch of these for a show I ended up not being able to make it to last year, and I'm going to have a lot more by Sunday! Let me know if you'll be there and there's anything specific you'd like to see! (Also, currently ISO one more ticket to introduce a local friend while we're in town, if anyone happens to find themselves with a spare— happy to fully reimburse/pay what you did, fees included!)
