So far I've seen Interpol, Zola Jesus, and Cold Cave.

Interpol was great; the opening band was School of Seven Bells, and the vocalist was fantastic and the music was very majestic and made me feel like floating. Plus they incorporated a fantastic level of feedback. Interpol themselves were fantastic as well; the vocalist sounds even better live and they were probably the most energetic band I've seen yet.

Zola Jesus was...an eye-opening experience. Before the show, I got to meet her; we talked for about ten minutes, she signed all the albums I brought of hers, she hugged me, and I even got to take my picture with her (which was my profile picture on Facebook for about two months). The concert itself was phenomenal; she's a trained opera singer, so her voice had a huge range, and I've never heard a voice more beautiful than hers. Oh, and I stood literally directly in front of the stage, where I was two feet away from the band the whole time. I've discovered that I much prefer smaller venues in concerts, as it allows a better connection with the artist.

Cold Cave was awesome; I stood in the pit directly in front of the band (they aren't really a mosh-type band, so it was more of a dance pit than anything), and it was in an art gallery, so the venue was small. In between each song they had a lot of shoegaze-y noise, which was really cool for my synesthesia.

Aaaaand I'm seeing The Pains of Being Pure at Heart on August 5th.
