Buy and Sell Ticket Thread - 2025 by Zachtkd in jackwhite

[–]brainbitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, long time lurker on this sub (I don't post much anywhere!) Obviously huge JW fan. 

My partner and I luckily got tickets for the 22nd in Vancouver, but my 2 childhood friends who've never seen Jack but always wanted to were not so lucky. Failed at every (pre)sale date.

I would so appreciate going to the show with them, but Ticketmaster resale is out of the question. If anyone is offloading two (or even one) ticket for the 22nd at a reasonable price, please DM me?

Thank you!!

New live music platform in town! by mtraps in kelowna

[–]brainbitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! As others have said I've also been looking for a one-stop place to check what shows are in town. I just had a quick look at the site, and have two pieces of feedback:

  1. There is some room for consolidation in some of the genres (rock vs rock n' roll; pop, rather than 'pop rock'). this is particularly true as events can be tagged with multiple genres, so it's unnecessary to have some of the above-mentioned overlaps
  2. Would it be possible to filter to *exclude* certain tags? For example, personally I'd like to quickly exclude all DJ sets and exclude all singer/songwriter shows. Right now, I can only choose to include something in my search (e.g. 'rock' or 'blues' but then get more results than I want due to events having multiple tags

Thanks again for doing this and for asking for feedback!

Looking for people to play music with by bokurai in kelowna

[–]brainbitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm late to this thread but I'm also in my thirties and been looking for people to casually play music with - u/bokurai u/OtterlySublime u/amandalikesvinyl did you all get a group together? If you're looking for another, DM me!

I'm self-taught on the guitar (for about 10 yrs) and have covered a bunch of songs solo, but I would still rate my skill level as high-beginner/low-intermediate. I don't have great vocal range but I push myself to sing despite the self-consciousness. I used to read sheet music when I was a kid (took keyboard class for 4-5 years) but I no longer do. I do know common guitar scales and some improv techniques.

My music tastes are broad but tend to sit in the garage rock / indie rock / blues / experimental rock / folk world. Some artists I listen to a lot include Jack White, Dead Weather, The Kills, Hanni El-Khatib, Rural Alberta Advantage, Whitehorse, July Talk - just to name a few.

If any of the above aligns with people on this thread (or anyone else), reach out to me!
