Extra Curricular Activities
 

I get every weekend off. Sombody tell me what's fun but won't break the bank. I'm a Reno Noooob!

Oh, and I'm single, straight, 28 and have an affinity for hard rock and electronica...hell I can even dig Hip Hop.

Anybody going to see Modest Mouse on Oct. 6th at the Hilton Theather? Only $30.50...

Okay, that's a start... :D

I love modest mouse, I'm bit of a snob about them because I liked them before they got big. I still like them and all.

The two times I've seen them play I thought they were awlful. From the sound of their albums you would think they would be a kick ass live show. Maybe it was the location or the setup but I was really let down.

Yah, a girl I used to work with had seen them three times and she said that twice they were awful and once they were amazing...so I'll keep my finger crossed. I can't not go when the venue is two miles from my house and it's only $30. I'm not a big fan, but I really like their music...especially when I'm drunk for some reason. :D

You should go. It's not like they play here a lot. In the past year Reno has been doing a little better getting some decent bands.

I don't know your definition of "hard rock" but there are a lot of bands, mostly hardcore, that come through Reno.

OH YEAH!!! :lol:
:liljon:

The hard rock bands I like include Tool, KoRn, Sepultura, Hed PE, Def Tones, System of a Down, Mud Vein, and a couple others.

enjoy

Never mind then.

Thanks! You get a dead hooker.

No hookers were harmed in the making of this site.

I sound like Joe Dirt in this post. :lol:

You had me at Tool... then lost me with Korn. Especially since you capitalized the R.

At least you tried Tim. Haha

Ministry, Slayer, KMFDM, NIN, My Bloody Valentine, Front 242...

is what bands like:

Tool, KoRn, Sepultura, Hed PE, Def Tones, System of a Down, Mud Vein

Listen to, and aspire to be.

MBV = best band ever

Hmmmm, maybe. I always thought of bands like Tool, hed pe, and Deftones as pioneers, but I'm not a music buff by any means. I used to be into Ministry, NIN, and KMFDM, but I lost interest. (Although I get very nostalgic when I throw on Pretty Hate Machine or Downward Spiral).

To be honest, the only KoRn album I like is KoRn. It's been played out for years, but songs like Ball-Tongue sound so amazing on a good system. Tool is the most amazing live band I've ever seen by a lot...but I'm not as into Aenima and their newer album. A Pefect Circle did a really good job at coverin the Beatle's Imagine though. I have the music video and it's pretty cool.

I'll have to check out MBV and Front 242. I hadn't heard of them.

I'm not a fanboy for any of the bands I listed (except maybe Tool and deftones), but I was just trying to give Libila an idea what I meant by hard rock. To be honest, I haven't heard any new hard rock that I like for a long time. The ones I listed are just the ones that I'll still listen to sometimes. Mudvein is new, but since I saw them perform on Konan, I'm less of a fan. They looked fresh out of Hot Topic. :~:

Even System of a Down sucks now. :( Nowadays, I listen to mostly Electronica: Dara, AK 1200, Cari Lekebusch, Baby Ann, Terri Mullan, James Lavelle, Ellen Ferrato, DJ Rap, to name a few of my favorites.

I also like Radiohead, Coldplay, Janes Addiction, and Modest Mouse (as mentioned before).

In the past I've been a huge fan of Primus, Del the funky homosapien (Hieroglyphics), Mr. Bungle, Nuclear Rabbit, Pharcyde, Spearhead, Sublime (who I still love, but obviously they won't be coming out with any new albums with Brad Nowell singing :( ), Rage (remember when they first came out? They were sick!), Nirvana (Kurt Kobane (sp?) is who inspired me to grow my hair long in Juinior High. :lol: I finally cut it all off a couple years ago, but I still recycle and stuff. :lol:), Pink Floyd (talk about pioneers! They're shit is amazing), Beastie Boys (they get old but still put on a good show), and Eminem (Yes I even liked 8 mile).

I still like most of the above bands, but they're new shit either sux or they have broken up and I've gotten tired of they're old albums.

:lol: Is this better?

Yah I kinda through that in there. MBV just owns everything when it comes to guitars.

masterbating is free.

The New oasis in Sparks has a LOT of shows every week, many hard-core bands play there.

I really like the Liquid Lounge, downtown on Lake St., between 1st and 2nd. They have a lot of bands there, and good DJ's from time to time. Also, right next door to Liquid is the Green Room. Those are my two favorite night spots right now.

I would suggest you pick up a RNR (Reno News and Review) Newspaper, they are all over. You can always show listings and club happenings in there.

Nice. Thanks for the advice Matt. I do check the R&R frome time to time. I'm definately going out tonight. If anybody wants to meet up, let me know.

Thank god!

:lol:

FYI: KMFDM just came out with a new album this week, Hau Ruck, and it is very rock. Very much a departure from their recently electro experiments. I like the album a lot, but then again, I like just about everything they have put out.

also, there is a lot to do around Reno, that can be a lot of fun. Camping, hiking, fishing, just chilling at the lake. All good times.

To quote Stephen Wright, "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot"

I have this burning desire to chime in here, and say that MUDVAYNE kicks ass! That is all.

W3rd, I am big time into the outdoors. I'm an avid mtn biker, snow boarder, and I am ready to backpack at the drop of a hat. These are the main reason I agreed to move out here. An added bonus has been that people are really nice here. I'm not running into the snobby bitches I'm used to...at least when I go out I don't see them.

Saturday night I checked out Satelite. It's really close to my house. I would have walked if I wasn't with a girl in heals. I liked it a lot...I'm definately going back. There's a little blurb about it in the R&R this week. I totally recommend it.

So that's how you spell it... :oops:

The Lovemakers are playing at Satellite this weekend, I think, that place is going to be PACKED...should be a good time though.

yah it will be packed.

How is that gonna work? Satelite is the size of a studio apartment. Looks like they're going to be there Friday and Saturday nights. I'll probably go to both. Now that I found a bar I can walk to, I'm all about it.

I feel old now. I had to go to iTMS to figure out who The Lovemakers are.

I like it though. Sounds like Wolfsheim mixed with The Rapture.

Man Stephen Wright is hilarious!

Thanks Mike

I hadn't heard of them either. Listening to the four songs they have on their website , they sound alright, but that bassist/singer is hawt! :eek:

Yah they just pack a bunch of people in the place.

It was at compacity last time I went to go see them.

But you are right it really doesn't take much to fill that place.

If you get tired of Satellite, The Chocolate Bar is down the street at California and Arlington. If you have a lady with you, that's teh place to go...

gurlz+Chocolate+ Alcohol = the win!

Wait isn't that suppose to be "....+Chocolate sauce+......"

That's some good advice. I had no idea there was a bar there.

Your in Reno, there are bars everywhere!!

This is true, but how many of them have hot chicks in them?
