Forgot to ask earlier - If the time says 8:30 pm, does the opening band start right at this time?

You're funny, Joe!
Okay, here's the deal on the Black Cat. The time listed is when the doors open (though there's a bar downstairs that you can go to first, opens at 8:00 on weekdays).
Rule of thumb for BC is that there's half an hour until the first band goes on, then you can generally count on an hour between bands. For instance:
8:30 doors open
9:00 first opening band
10:00 second opening band
11:00 headlining band
If anything, they may be running late based on that 'rule of thumb' schedule. But if I wanted to see a headliner, I'd be sure to be at the club about 10:45 if there are two bands on before them.

Thanks very much! See you all at Wolf Parade tonite!

the BC site says one of the openers cancelled for tonight's show. not sure what this does for times, but you might want to be there earlier than the norm.

really depends on who is playing and what schedule everyone's on though...i've been at shows there with 3 bands where band # 1 hasn't gone on till 10:30...always messes up my damn ride home...

With an 8:30 door time?!? I've been to a lot of shows at the Cat, never had it run that late (sounds like a Velvet Lounge schedule to me!).

Possibly a weekend? Weekend doortimes are often 9:30, with a 10pm start time. It's certainly possible you were at a show with a half-hour delay.
Bags' schedule (adjusting for different doortimes) seems right to me.

I was actually on a schedule told by the singer in the headlining band that he was going on at 11:30. I interpreted that as 12 still, but when the first of three started at 10:30 I kind of freaked.
But yeah...sometimes they are punctual, sometimes they are not. I've been out of there close to 2 before. It just depends on who it is.
