Band I want to See

So I am going to see Arcade Fire tonight and it got me thinking of what bands I really want to see live that I haven't yet. Living in Calgary about 20% of touring acts make it to Alberta the rest only stop in Vancouver and Toronto if the come to Canada at all which means we don't always get to see our favourite bands but here's the list just in case there watching and now they know to come to Calgary hahah.

1) RADIOHEAD (any time I have tried to get tickets to these guys it sells out in 2 min and I don't think they have ever played Calgary?)

2)Paul McCartney (last time I had a chance to see him in Toronto I was travelling in England....how ironic)

3)Michael Franti and Spearhead (again, Blew me away with a short set at Calgary Folk Fest, would love to see a full length concert, the positivity in incredible at these shows)

4) Weird Al Yankovic (have always been a fan, and since i was 8 years old have wanted to see him live, it just seems we are never in the same city at the same time......hopefully next year.)

5) Brian Setzer (One of my favourite guitar players and big band leaders, I would kill to see any incarnation of act he is touring with. My top choice would be to see him with his orchestra around Christmas or if I was really lucky with a reunited Stray Cats.

6) JAMIE T (British rapper/rocker ... think Joe Strummer meets beats in 2010, high energy but has yet to come to Canada. I think i'm gonna have to go to a European festival to ever see this guy)

7) DAFT PUNK ( I love Alive and know these guys would be one of the most high energy shows you could attend with out a doubt)

8) Foxboro Hot Tubs / The Network (Secret side projects of Green Day who seem to only make appearences in the East Bay or New York. Dear Green Day; Is there a chance Foxboro Hot Tubs or The Network could ever open up for you? I know that means you will be playing for 4 hours straight but we would love it!)

9) KEVIN DREW of Broken Social Scene (I saw him live when his solo album Spirit IF came out and it was amazing, unfortunately BSS don't play any solo stuff on tour, but i still go to every BSS show I can. I would just love to hear Spirit If songs live again)

10) Apostle of Hustle ( Featuring Andrew Whiteman of Broken Social Scene. Love to see him live, love all the Apostle albums and BSS don't play solo stuff on tour so hopefully they tour again. His guitar playing will quickly put you in awe)

I think that is all for know...
