Just wanted to let everyone know that tonight and tomorrow the radio station KROQ is putting on their annual Almost Acoustic Christmas. For those of you who are interested, they stream a live webcast of the performance. Just go to:

They have a place where you can test out the media player to make sure that you are up to speed. You don't want to be scrambling when an artist you like is up. :wink:

thanks alot for the link mate. i had no idea about this. the line up is amazing. watched Rise Against who were pretty good. STP are on now and are pretty cool. but tomorow is giong to be the best with Death Cab for Cutie, Killers, The Cure, Franz Ferdinand, Vampire Weekend and Snow Patrol . what a lineup!!!

Tomorrow's line up is fantastic...but tonight, STP kicked ass. What a great band! I look forward to this every Christmas.

Tonight's show begins in about 5 hours. It is an amazing line-up.

Damn, I wouldn't mind chatting, but I don't know where to go. Perhaps you can stop by and post some of your comments here. The Killers and The Cure back-to-back...psssshhhh. I doesn't get much better than that :) Last night, I liked STP and AFI.

well so far we've had vampire weekend and snow patrol with scott weiland finishing off now

 

Vampire Weekend- lacked energy had no charisma, their music came across as being dull and nothing next to what they sound like on their half decent debut album. very dissapointed

 

Snow Patrol - these guys are great on their day. and luckily today despite poor sound they put on a great performance. Gary's voice was in great form and the band did a decent job in their situation

 

Scott Weiland - his voice is no where near as powerful as it was 10 years but i wont hold that against him. over the last two nights his come across as a rather emotional performer. he feels ever song and u can see that in his delivery. i like this guy despite of his history with drugs and alcohol and paying out on his bands

 

Franz Ferdinand coming on now.

I liked Snow Patrol.

 

Scott Weiland I had already seen live and was not interested. Sadly, I think he will die soon (he's just too hard on himself).

 

I have not been exposed enough to Franz Ferdinand.

Franz Ferdinand just got off stage. they were awesome for their short set

 

BUT

 

out of nowhere kanye west turns up!!!!! doing stronger now!!

totally unexpected performance from kanye west. he left australia very dissapointed with some weird antics during his shows. but he seems to be in great form now.

That's what I love about Almost Acoustic...you never know who will pop up.

franz ferdinand did drop a hint during their performance

Kanye did Stronger, Homecoming, Heartless and Love Lockdown. brilliant!!

Paramore: not really a fan of the band but they did a decent job. the singer was very open to the crowd and her bandmates were confident with thier instruments

 

Death Cab for Cutie: best performance of the night so far. despite being a soft indie rock band. they put alot of passion into the show. ben gibbard was solid with his vocals but the bass player was my favourite

 

the killers on now
