Four Great Alternative Rock Bands with Concert Tickets for Sale Now
Alternative rock has emerged from the metal and fluff pop dominated 80's into a place of prominence afforded by critics and fans alike. Over the past three decades, what's considered alternative has changed more than once, with the constant being great musicians that promote these changes. Below, we list four seminal alternative artists whose music has inspired fans and other artists, and who have concert tickets for sale right now.
1. U2
It seems strange to call U2 alternative. In the past three decades, they've gone from being a novelty to a staple of modern pop collections, with their influence claimed by bands that have also become staples, such as R.E.M. But it's important not to mistake success for selling out, and alternative fans commonly do. U2 got to where they are for a reason: setting good lyrics to good vocals and creating great melodies and rhythms. Whether you're an ardent fan who's seen several of their concerts or an alternative listener who's never seen them live, seeing them one more time or for the first time is fine idea. They're know for putting on passionate, fan oriented shows.
2. The Smashing Pumpkins
Just as The Smashing Pumpkins were becoming a household name, they broke up, sending Pumpkins fans into Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness, if only just the album. But, as you may already know, after two impressive solo efforts, Billy Corgan reformed the Pumpkins with drummer Jimmy Chamberlain. Still playing the band's classic tracks along with new material, the reemergence of the Pumpkins is a happy story in a rock world where disbanded bands often never reform again.
3. Weezer
Weezer hit it big in the mid 90's with catchy tracks like "Buddy Holly", and proceeded to produce material that was praised and panned by turn. After a brief hiatus in the late 90's, Weezer returned to touring and prominence with a series of albums in the new millennium, or which Hurley is their latest. A band whose music can be either as fun or as serious as you want it to be, Weezer is good natured act that puts on a rocking show. Buy their tickets now, and be sure to bring your earplugs.
Liz Phair
Liz Phair's career began with the unanimously acclaimed album, Exile in Guyville, and has recently produced a small album of personal songs, Funstyle, available for download through her website. Currently without a label, Phair continues to tour and play from her 15-year discography, which includes several well-known hits. To Phair's credit, she's a no nonsense singer who knows how to combine humor, seriousness, and felicity like few other songwriters, and her unassuming sex appeal remains strong. With concert tickets for sale now, she's an act to see and not miss.
