I got my admittedly late introduction to Mission of Burma three years ago from a customer at the record store I worked for. Immersing myself in their back catalog I was ready and excited for new material when Matador released The Sound The Speed The Light late last year.
Over the years I’ve been fortunate to see a lot of amazing concerts. In doing so, I’ve crossed a lot of “must see” artists off of my now dwindling list. Still amongst the list of those I’ve yet to see live is Mission of Burma, who play the High Noon Saloon in Madison on Friday, April 9th. Oh yeah, Surfer Blood is on the bill too!
Giveaway: We have one copy of The Sound The Speed The Light on vinyl and a pair of tickets to give away to the Madison show. Drop a comment letting us know what bands/artists you’ve got on your “must see” list and we’ll notify the winner by e-mail later this week.

Only one artist holds a place on my must-see list: David. Bowie.
There are many musicians I would like to see, but if Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jake, The Thin White Duke, or whatever version decides to go on tour, I will be there no doubt about it.
Hopefully he has one last hurray left in him, as he is 63 years of age. *crosses fingers*

My current roster of must-see acts (defined by the fact that I would make any and every effort to see a live show within 100 miles):
Lucero
The Hold Steady
The Gaslight Anthem
Two Cow Garage
Ted Leo/RX
Hot Water Music

Against Me!
And I’ve been treating Bob Dylan as more or less must-see lately, journeying all the way to Rockford on a Wednesday night last fall for a show. This is more due to knowing a Dylan super-fan and tagging along than anything on my part.
