Sometime in 2008 I came across a list someone had made of every gig they'd been to ever. I thought this was a pretty cool idea. But I knew I'd never be able to make one myself for a number of reasons. This person had based their list around ticket stubs and while I keep the stubs from every ticketed gig I go to, so many of the shows I see are local bands with stamps on the wrist, and I would never remember all of these. Nor could I remember all the bands I saw at festivals, or shows my parents took me to when I was younger.
But I decided in 2009 it would be fun to keep track of every gig I went to for the year. So here it is, the definitive list of EVERY band/musical artist I saw perform last year. Not all of these are bands I liked or enjoyed, or even sat through the whole set of, but they are all bands I saw (you can probably assume if I saw them more than once I liked them though).
This is the final post of my 2009 Wrap Up series. I had to wait til the year was over to make this post though because we went to Falls Festival for new years eve so right up until the last minute of 2009 I was watching bands play.
