Brainiac - 11 or 12

Enon - 7 or 8?

Dismemberment Plan - 7?

the pAper chAse - 4 or 5

Archers of Loaf - 5

Melt-Banana - 4

since DR Aka is my love slave I would have pretty much the same list as him...

Melvins about 8 times
Rush about 5 times
The Holy Ghost about 5 times
Shellac 5 times
June of 44 3 times
Rachel's 4 times
China Pig 10 times
The Swedes band(s) about 100 times more than I've had hot meals.

Holy CRAP. I thought I was the only person on this board that likes them.

I've seen the Melvins probably about 15-20 times.

are we counting bands you've toured with? because then i've seen a few bands 40+ times every night in a row

I've seen Rudimentary Peni 45 times.

Shellac 5 times (twice in one day).
On-U sound system 5 or 6 times
The Levellers at least 5 times even though I've always hated them.

Mogwai maybe a dozen times - including the 'sorry but all tomorrow's parties is postponed' type show at the Henry Fonda Music Box Theatre where they were proudly billed as MAGWAI.

Hawkwind at least a dozen times between 1984 and 1988

I guess it just depends where you live. Four years in Cambridge netted me less gigs than the first six months of being near Leeds.

I've seen Low probably 8 times.
Tristeza 6 times.
Trans Am 5 times.
Man...or Astro Man? 4 times.
Elvis Costello 4 times.

Unfortunately, I've only seen King Diamond once.

No. Thats what I meant by not including bands you support.


I have seen Paul weller 8 times

I am so sorry.

I quit counting PosterChildren shows. There have been quite a few.

What's usually on my mind, though, is bands I never got to see or would love to have seen more than once.
