What BANDS are you seeing?
Yesterday I found out Italian Glam Rockers, Giuda, are touring the US and play Austin tomorrow night. We had a weekend family camping trip already scheduled months ago. Storms have hit and the roads to the state park are flooded. So, I went to buy my Giuda tickets, but the venue site said 'Sale Ended'. I was sweating it trying to decide if I should hang out in the rain Friday night trying to get in or drive to Houston on Saturday. I pinged the venue....tix not sold out! Error on their site!
I'm in!
Damn, I never imagined I'd catch these guys. Not sure why, but assumed they'd never get big enough to pay all the fees and deal with the loopholes we have now on foreign acts.
Super stoked!
Come on, Giuda, get the goal!!

No.
Glam rock is Sweet, Wizzard and The Glitter Band. Think face makeup, outrageous costumes.
The Cure is Goth out and out.

I don't know if I'd call the Cure out and out goth though. Their first record was post punk pop. They've done new wave. They've done shoe gazey dream pop. It's really their clientele so to speak that are the goth part of it.
Of course, what goth band is really goth anyway, outside of the bat cave sort of over the top stuff.

Maybe those weren't the best tracks to sample their glam influences from. Seems the world recognizes it...

The following tracks sound fairly glam-like to me. I guess someone should tell these boys they're doing it wrong unless they're rocking Noddy Holder-style Willy Wonka hats. But then again, this is a new era, and this band obviously has more than just glam influences, so it couldn't be helped that there would be some sort of evolution of the genre. I dunno know of how many other modern acts are even out there making a solid game attempt at it, but I'm far from an expert here.
BTW, the show was amazing. I stood next to the singer watching one of the opening bands, and it took all I had to not ask to take a photo with. Others did, but I didn't want to come across as super-fan. Instead, I just made some supportive small talk.
In hindsight, I wish I took the photo...

I saw them on on the Loveless tour. It was transcendentally LOUD.
Just bought tickets to see PiL...so excited. It’s the day before my birthday in October.
Debating whether it is appropriate to take my kids t see Ghost. They LOVE Ghost.
