Los Lobos is largely unchanged for 40+ years. Louie left the drum kit to play guitar, so they have had new drummers. The main core is still intact since 1982.
Radiohead? 1985
Sloan 30+ years.
Green Day - Tre Cool not an original member, joined in 1990. Jason White joined the band in 2012.
I feel like Blur semi-qualifies- side projects for sure , but I don't think anyone other than the 4 founding members have been in the band- however Coxon did take a hiatus (for one album?) but he wasn't replaced
I was at the Sloan show last night, decent show, new music heavy with hits only coming out the last 6/7 songs.
They brought Dave Foley onstage for underwhelmed at the end of the night.
I got to meet Dave after the show. I asked him if he was disappointed that they didn’t do a “Brand New Key” cover (low key reference to the latest season of Kids in the Hall). I got a decent chuckle out of him.
100% the best bit from the new season.

Avenged Sevenfold and Alexisonfire at the dome Aug 5!
Might try and go to this one. Avenged was my favourite band when I was in high school (though I don't listen to them much at all anymore) and AOF is always a great time.
I'm thinking I may be priced out of this one, though. I'd only go if I got floor tickets.

RHCP in Vancouver last night. Bucketlist for me as I've just missed them a few times. Loved it. Just... Loved it.

I got tickets for Pixies with co-headliners Modest Mouse, and special guests Cat Power in Vancouver this September. I haven't been to a concert in years, but there is no way I could pass on this show. Three bands that have been on my regular rotation for like 20+ years.
Pixies and Modest Mouse are doing a lot of shows together throughout the year, but the three groups are doing a mini Pacific Northwest tour in the late summer. Unfortunately, I did not see a Calgary show lined up, but they are doing a Spokane show which might interest some people in Calgary if you're up for a road trip. A concert like that in a smaller city would be pretty awesome I think.
