Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:Are all these local bands?? I'm suprised Phaser, Carlsonics and Monopoli were left out..they seem to be well liked by the DC locals...
What would be neato is a Forum Mixtape Live show... Off the top of my head the line-up could be something like this.
Washington Social Club
The Features
Splitsville
Cartel
De Novo Dahl
Big Meanie
Pharmacy Prophets
Your Pal
Dutch Cousins
Honeychuck
Abbey Vain
Exit Clov (acoustic in the backbar)
I'm sure there are other staph bands and local groups that have been overlooked, enough I'm sure for a sidestage show at DC9.
Now in a perfect world, this show would be a kickoff for a Playtone Records Cavalcade of Stars style tour, called "Take Action Against Bad Music", for those band ready to hit the road.
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:Cool...I'm definitely catching up on local bands and other bands with buzz..I'll keep these names in mind..thxs.
These are not all local bands, The Features & De Novo Dahl are from Nashville and Splitsville is from Baltimore. As I said the list was off the top of my head and does reflect what I like, but also what other forumites prefer. I added The Features because they are a national band with a buzz they would draw in people that don't follow the local scene. Plus, their CD is damn fine and getting better and better with repeated listens. All the bands you mentioned were bouncing around in the cranium just not at the forefront. It could easily become a two night festival when you start adding in those other bands as well as The Frauds, Starbelly and Cliff Hillis.

Hey Seth, New Order booked Chicago and NYC...any chance you can get them somewhere in DC? Pretty please? NO Constitution Hall, please put them in a decent-sounding venue...a couple nights at the 9:30 maybe?
Originally posted by bunnyman:i was there in 03 and i thought the sound wasn't very good. i am sure it's better than basketball arenas, but i wasn't at all impressed with the place when i went. i've never been to bender, i loathe DAR and i haven't been to the patriot center in years.
Been there lately? I sure wish we had an Aragon in DC instead of the Patriot Center, Constitution Hall or Bender Arena. The Aragon at least has interesting architecture and they've made HUGE improvements in sound compared to about 10 or 15 years ago.
Originally posted by bunnyman:
Guess I have a lot of fond memories of the Aragon, and I'm a sucker for any place that makes you feel like you're at a rock show in Morocco. The turrets are very cool, and if you know where to stand sound isn't an issue. The Pixies were great there, I had plenty of room around me even though the shows were sold out. The Aragon certainly was an awesome venue for other bands I've seen like Sugar and Catherine Wheel. Sugar in particular were great at killing the sludgy sound quality.
However, the Aragon and the Beastie Boys are responsible for making my ears ring for four days straight back in 1992. The bass was just unreal...back then it was a horrible place to see a show. But they have done wonders to change that overall.

If it's on a weekend, perhaps enough people would be willing to pay that amount(all presuming its a live show - not a DJ set of course). Personally though, if I had to choose...I would skip a DC show and see them in NY.

Originally posted by Graace:Definitely a nice idea. Or on a Sat. night? Also if doors could open slightly earlier? (Not rush hour, just 9 pm doors? I'm old. :D )
Let's continue all these local Fridays (Army of Me, Monopoli, Cedars, etc etc) and bring the Washington Social Club to the club sometime soon.
Originally posted by Jaguar:Defintely a good point. Okay, scratch my idea. As it is, I don't get to see national acts during the week either.
Take them as they fit into the schedule is what I say.
This would also put a lot more of the old club flavor back into the 9:30 Club.
Originally posted by Julian, faux celeb-porn CONNOISSEUR:Sparklehorse rules and i would love love love love to see them at the club. or ANY club for that matter. any day of the week. any time of the day!!!
Sparklehorse tour in late-February-March. I don't know if they're big enough to play 9:30 at this point but if you can get it...
Originally posted by Graace:Amen to this - if its doable, I think this is a great idea.
Being too young to remember the old club flavor, I feel like I would have loved it.
I think the Army of Me show was scheduled before a show with late doors, maybe that could keep happening?
I don't want it to take precedence over touring acts, but I think it would be awesome to fit local nights in whenever they could be.

The Foo Fighters much anticipated Acoustic Tour kicks off this July! Seven US dates have been announced at intimate venues across the country! A special 8-piece line-up will perform the live premiere of songs from disc 2 of In Your Honor as well as unique interpretations of favorites from the band's entire catalogue.
Joining the band on the second installment of the In Your Honor Tour are special guests Petra Haden on Violin, Rami Jaffee on Keyboards, Drew Hester on percussion and former Foo Fighter Pat Smear on Guitar! Opening acts for these shows will be Timmy Curran in July and Frank Black in August.

Originally posted by sweetcell:
hey seth - a suggestion for the side balconies: please consider putting another tier of risers (steps, platform, whatever) along the side walls. on the side balconies during a packed show there is always about 3-4 feet of empty (unused) space between the wall and the backs of the first people along the edge of the upper tier. those 3-4 feet are unusable b/c you can't see squat. adding another tier along the wall would make part of that space usable again and afford a few more patrons a decent line of sight. just a thought.

i'd like t put in an order for a dose of Daft Punk.
Originally posted by DeathFromAbove1979:true dat, but the cool thing about seth is that he also runs IMP productions, which organizes bigger (non-930) shows... so yeah, i'd be willing to accept the possibility that my dose of daft punk be administered at some venue other than our beloved club.

How about if the first 10 folks to get 9:30 Club tattoos get into shows for free for life? Maybe you could require them to have a 3-drink minimum? How cool would that be. :)

probably not, based on JAMCs' sets last week - pretty melodic and the distorsion was dialed way down compared to back in the day. i didn't catch SY, but if they've mellowed out at all then merriweather's speakers should live to see another day.

Originally posted by SpinalTarp:They had these beautiful commerative tickets for Winter Music Conference this year, and at the gate I thought they'd just pull off the tab of the ticket which was made just for that purpose to keep the pristine ticket intact, but there were two sadistic freaks at the gate just ripping the entire ticket in half and waving people in, I too have been collecting tickets for quite awhile and I was shitting my pants to see these particularly attractive tickets being destroyed, so I balked and they weren't going to let me in so I sulked on the side until someone with a brain showed up and asked what the problem was and the knumbskulls at the gate were reprimanded for not following the directions they were initially given about ripping off the stubs only. Moral of the story? Acting like a baby can work in isolated circumstances for things that really don't have any relevance. I kept my souvenir in that instance and I'm sure VF organizers will do the right thing here. There are so many options, like taking a marker to the back of the ticket so it can't be reused but otherwise kept intact, etc.
Hey Seth,
I just heard I have to surrender my ticket (for a wristband) to come back for the second day. I know I'm being a crybaby, BUT I have all my tix dating back to Johnny Cash in 1970! I wanna keep my ticket. Is this true?

For the record I fly to a lot of places to see "awful bands" but also in the mix there are a few good ones.

I have a recording of it...I love the classic "I will fuck you in the ass, you bitch!" line. Also hilarious: during "Regular John" when Troy and Josh are trading guitar riffs, Josh stops and says, "individually, we all have tiny dicks. But together, we make one giant cock. Plus, Joey is back there, so it's kind of fat too." Then Troy chimes in and says "I believe that's called 'girth'." Priceless.

Queens released a tour edition of Lullabies and the 2nd disc of this had 6 songs and they were recorded at that 930 show. Double nights! SO worth it! Do it.

Seth, I'm bailing on the last day of Lollapalooza to support V Fest. so I'm looking at flights back to the area from Chicago and unfortunately there's nothing that will get me back in time for the whole day Sunday but since there are major price differences ($90 versus $250) between morning, afternoon, and early evening flights I have to weigh the options. I'm leaning toward getting back in time to be at Pimlico by 4-5pm, so without divulging the top secret set times can you comment on how many main stage/2nd stage,etc. acts I'll be able to see if that's the case? Better yet, can you reveal when the set times will be released?

Hey Seth...
According to an email I stumbled across today, the Beastie Boys are embarking on a tour that includes "two types of shows this summer, 'regular' shows and 'gala events'" and "THE GALA EVENTS will be in smaller spots, more exclusive, more intimate. this will be more like quality time, our time, just you and the band sitting by a fire on a tropical beach late at night being serenaded with love songs. these shows are for people that are into our weird stuff, so if you want to get weird together, this is your call. these shows will be based around the instruments. some songs will have vocals, others will be instrumental. BUT if you'd like to come to one of these shows, then dress to impress, wear a suit, a tie, a dress, a gown or whatever you feel dressed up in... AND PLEASE leave your cargo shorts, birkenstocks and t-shirts at home, this is not that kind of party."
Would we be able to consider the 930 a potential condidate for one of the gala events by chance?

Hey Seth,
The Hives are touring with Maroon 5 and will be in the area mid-October. The tour has lots of open dates, probably because the Maroon 5 boys work so hard and need their rest. I'm willing to bet The Hives would love to do a gig in a venue that appreciates them.

We are still confirming performers for the dc space thing. There will be a lot of them, and a complete list will be posted no later than tomorrow. We can't put the tix onsale without a door time, and without a clear idea of how many performers there will be, it's hard to know what the total running time of the event will be. Although we could have just gone with doors at noon to be on the safe side, I think it''ll be more like 4 or 5 pm.
It's shaping up to be a really good time though, as you will see once the artist list is complete.

Originally posted by bnyced0:What the hell, man? We don't ask thoughtful well-articulated questions in the "Hey Seth" thread; we scream band requests followed by offers of sexual favors in return. You're a disgrace to this entire intraweb community.
Can you explain the rationale behind releasing set/stage times for festivals in general or at least for the ones youâ??re involved with?
Iâ??ve often wondered why/how some festivals are willing/able to provide set/stage times months in advance while others wait until days before the show.
Is this merely a promoter preference, is artist management involved in the decision, do concessionaires have a say?
Are there concerns that fans will delay entry and thus suppress revenue making opportunities for the concessionaires?
Are the times not firm until the last minute?
How much lead time do the companies actually printing timetables for distribution at the show require to make deadlines, and is the information even quarantined from them?
Bonus question:
And if youâ??re feeling especially forth coming can you provide insight in the theories of not merely banding fans upon initial entry and allow unlimited entering and exiting during multiple day events. Again is there a concern about revenue suppression, is it merely a logistical nightmare requiring unruly security requirements, etc.?
Pulling back the veil on these types of decisions would be enlightening and appreciated.

I'm not saying the bands being requested aren't good, or wouldn't be great to see at the club, but so would free admission and beer...all things that common sense say isn't going to happen.

I apologize in advance for being the wicked warlock of the west and shattering the innocence of those boardies that may find out that you're not actually the wonderful Wizard of DC...
maybe for some people, it is just that... and then they cry when there is no santa. however, i think for most people, posts on this thread are polite request for seth to consider bringing their fav band. nothing more than asking him to look into it. it is, after all, his business to bring bands that people want to see.
would you prefer that people not request bands at all, and the 930 be left to its lonesome in figuring out what they should book? what is wrong with asking? you portray people here as clueless children asking for the moon - i don't see that, but i'm willing to recognize that my view is rarely perfect. when has anyone cussed out seth for not fulfilling an impossible request? when these request go unfilled, seems to me that folks are realistic enough to blame the band, not seth.

Originally posted by bnyced0:Of course I'll book this, but NFL brackets are tough because they reseed after the first round - the fact that it's a bracket is irrelevant. What you've really asked for is to pick a super bowl winner, which isn't really gambling.
As soon as the playoff teams are settled and before the kick off of the first wild card game, we fill out brackets all the way through the superbowl, first person to lose both their superbowl teams is out. In case of a tie, person with most total wins.

We all looked at each as though we had just simultaneously gone insane, then burst out laughing. You kinda had to be there. Sometime at a forum gathering I might elaborate when I've had a few drinks in me.

Originally posted by bearman:the only redeeming part of the last show (i think this was the last one) at the club was taking audience requests for (partial) covers at the end of the show since it was the last show of the tour.
Finally a decent Moby record...maybe he'll actually dig out stuff like "Ah-Ah" and "Move" for a tour. Any chance for a show at the club?
Originally posted by bearman:i was referring to the "animal rights" tour (10+ years ago now, i guess -- wasn't aware he'd played the club since) when he somehow managed to make all of the "electronic"-based songs to sound EXACTLY the same.
You mean the one a few years ago for the "Hotel" tour? Or the "Animal Rights" tour when they started doing all of the cover songs and Pablo the percussionist destroyed the keyboard with his bongos? That was a pretty awesome show.

Originally posted by hutch:My gripe is with how I am and other are treated there. WT indeed is a very pretty venue, but the patrons and the employees are jerks. The sound is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10 at best. It is a venue built for the rich snob type of the DC area. NOTE: I am sure there are many who do there who do not fall into this category and not all people who ahve money are like this. But there is a huge proportion of patrons of WT there who do. I prefer a venue that is run by people who care about a good show and a safe time for everyone. I have seen people threatened with being ejected for attempting to go to the bathroom at the wrong time. I have seen an instance where the crowd was standing to get into the music except for an extremely drunk couple who proceeded to complain to one of the users. Said usher demanded that the people one row up sit or be ejected. I have seen a group of three hoity toidy types walk through the black top area behind the crowd while in conversation and not paying attention to where they were going. The woman in the group ran into and all sut knocked over a young guy who was actually trying to avoid them and one of the men in the group cussed the kid out and threatened to beat his ass while the staff did nothing. Yeah thats the type of venue I want to be at.
oh yeah i forgot: its also got great sound
sounds to me like your gripes are due to your mobility issues and not the venue..
maybe its not the right venue for you.
but i stand by what i wrote: overall when you consider its a gorgeous national park, they let you bring in food and beer, the prices are subsidized and the sound is great wolftrap can't be beat..
red rocks and the gorge blows compared to the velvet loungeVelvet books way more acts I like seeing than Wolftrap, RR and the Gorge combined so in that regard...

Originally posted by Julian, certified WEBLEBRITY:i like it
Hey Seth,
A lot has been said lately with Radiohead's recent tour about the ecological costs associated with major tours, particularly at large venues outside the range of mass transit. Recently, I bought tickets for an event at the Charlottesville Pavilion and after selecting the number of tickets I wanted, it offered me the ability to buy a 40cent CO2 offset credit for each ticket, if I chose. It's not a full-scale answer to the environmental questions being raised, by any means, but even the opponents of the CO2-credit system admit it does afford some help (along side the push for car pooling, etc).
I know VFest and Merriweather both pride themself on their green-ness and trying to preserve the natural environment as much as possible. Would it ever be possible to have a similar opt-in system for CO2 offset credits for IMP shows held away from the 9:30 Club, or does ticketmaster make it impossible? Has there ever been any thought to building in money to the ticket cost (like some places charge a "facility fee" in addition to the ticket, well, in this case, an environmental fee), or is this perhaps already happening?

i think dolly parton played at the club last time she was here. when was that? i can't remember.

Hey Seth,
I know I've brought it up before, but now there is more of a chance then ever. Kylie Minogue is playing some in South American in November, and she just added a few more (I think 5 total). Can you please get her to the US. I'm sure she's thinking about it, but probably only doing NYC, LA, etc. A DC show would be amazing, at any venue.
Thanks so much!
And thanks for Girl Talk.

I really want to say they opened for someone in the area very recently but forget who it was.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings just announced two dates in NYC for mid-February. Can DC get some of that lovin'?
Dear Seth, the Specials just announced they're reuniting and playing a bunch of shows in the UK next year. Would love to see them put on a legendary show here at the 9:30!
Seth! Silver BEATS!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE! thats show early this year at the 930 was a highlight!
Mr. Seth,
Are Erasure coming? Yes or no? ;D
Perhaps premature, but Phoenix have just announced that their new album will be out this Spring, which hopefully means they'll tour the US...I've been hoping to see them at the club again since I saw them last! Pretty pretty please?
re: Bands Reuniting
What's your a personal opinion on how long an artist/band should be "retired" before launching into a reunion. Not a hiatus that is for a set time, but especially for the bands who bid farewell and then show up in what appears to be too short of a time.
I'd think that professionally you'd want whatever timeframe will bring in a decent concert $deal, but what do you think, as a music fan?
Phlounder
your wish is my command
First off, it sure does make a band look stupid to say they've officially retired and then come back only to do it all again. IE: The Rolling Stones.
Correct you are.... The Stones have never retired.
First off, it sure does make a band look stupid to say they've officially retired and then come back only to do it all again. IE: The Rolling Stones.
Did the Stones ever really say they officially retired? I don't remember a big farewell tour or anything. I know The Who did that and there's speculation around every Stones tour that "this might be the last one" - but I don't ever remember the band saying they were retiring.
And I think it's about that time again:Yes.
Aphex Twin?

my god, what a bunch of old farts proving they are bunch of out of tune old farts. eat more wheatgrass.
Seeing them do that with "Mommy's Little Monster" is something I'll never forget.
Hey Seth,
Any chance for Prince. That would be awesome, maybe if he does an Arena tour can you snag him for a club show.
By the way, I noticed Pink is booked abroad for all of 2009 save one month. Have they said there will be no US tour until 2010 or none at all? I mean 1.5 years is a while to wait for a US tour from her.
Can we get a Prodigy date at the club? They are doing to be in the states for the Ultra Music Festival in March.
Prodigy was the last show I ever saw at Nation. It was epic. Would love a 930 show.That is one of my favorite shows. It sucks that they dont tour the US more. Too bad Nation didnt last, that was a good venue for things like Prodigy shows.
yeah, cause theres nothing tired about Springsteen.... ::)
How about a Club appearance by Springsteen after his show on the Mall? With reasonably priced (double digit dollar amount) tickets for boardies.
seth, can you book ryan adams with the cardinals on their spring tour? this looks like it'll be his last tour for a while.Yes, please and just let him play and play...
Any chance of Bonnie Prince Billy? Not sure what kind of draw he is in DC.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Gaslight Anthem...they're playing NY and Philly in March.

smashing pumpkins secret show . . . was nice and pretty cool.
b boys secret show . . . mehhh.
u2 secret show . . . holy shit.
but what would be the ultimate secret show befitting the club? pearl jam/white stripes/the stones???
I'd like to see the Women/Chad VanGaalen show come through here. This is probably more Black Cat than 9:30, but there's no Hey Black Cat thread. Also, I don't understand why CVG is so ignored. Sigh.
Sonic Youth/MBV/JAMC/Dino Jr.I'm going to assume that's not your implied order, because Sonic Youth would play before MBV and JAMC.
Women are opening for Crystal Stilts on 3/15 at DC9.I'd like to see the Women/Chad VanGaalen show come through here. This is probably more Black Cat than 9:30, but there's no Hey Black Cat thread. Also, I don't understand why CVG is so ignored. Sigh.

This is probably happening anyway, but with their new album coming out in March/April...how about Super Furry Animals back at the 9:30 Club? I enjoyed the hell out of their show last January.

"May 9th ATP in Minehead, UK
May 10th ATP in Minehead, UK
May 28th Primavera Festival in Barcelona, Spain
Many more to come . . .
We're gonna be playing all over the US and Europe and (we hope) Australia, etc . . .

well, i work for you, silly!! At Merriweather!
Seth, just curious (may be more of a faq question) -- the past couple of months there have been repeated sold out shows at the club. What is the record of sold out shows (days in a row)?
or the time My Bloody Valentine, Blur, Dinosaur Jr. and the Jesus and Mary Chain toured in the UK. I can't fathom the buzz a tour like that would cause nowadays.Too bad they dont do that tour again. Wow that would have been sick.
Is it just me or does it seem like these days bands either end up doing huge festivals or they headline club gigs alone? Once upon a time, you'd have bigger bills of like 3 or 4 bands touring together. I guess maybe economically they all want a bigger slice of the pie...but I remember the days of Aphex Twin, the Orbital, Moby and Ultramarine touring together, or the time My Bloody Valentine, Blur, Dinosaur Jr. and the Jesus and Mary Chain toured in the UK. I can't fathom the buzz a tour like that would cause nowadays.
I think there are about 30 people who know who these bands are this area.
Hey Seth,Yes, please!
Can you actually get My Bloody Valentine to play 9:30? I hear they are going on a us tour in april.
Somone has got to say it: you know Michael Jackson has got to add a US Tour.
50 Cent just got added to the Fall Out Boy show at Merriweather. I would go to this, but am not going to deal with pre-teens who line up 8 hours before a GA show. Could you maybe book 50 for a late night set at the club that night? And maybe bring Cobra Starship along with him?
Also, this has become my most requested. Any chance for a Craig David show/ tour?
Emiliana Torrini, please.
http://www.emilianatorrini.com/
Well, last time she was in D.C. (AFAIK), she opened for Tricky. (This was circa 2001.)
So she could conceivably be booked as a strong opener with someone else headlining.
the bug! maybe a new soundsystem first
The last time she played the area was at Iota in 2005.I was completely unaware of this. :(
MBV the two nights before or after their APW date?That would be awesome. I second this.

I can see where the vocals would need to be an aquired taste for some but they always put on a great, energetic live show ever time I'd seen them play.

Hey Seth, I saw the Lady Gaga show in Richmond was scheduled for September 25th, any word on the rescheduled DC one? Also, as per her blog, the show did indeed switch to a bigger venue (Landmark), and I know she'll probably do this for DC too. Please find an alternative to DAR and Patriot Center for the show. DAR doesn't allow dancing, and Patriot Center is way too far away.
Also, if possible, can you find some way to make sure the prior ticket holders (9:30 show holders) get the best seats possible at the new show, or make the floor or something similar GA for us? Considering I work, I can't beat all the teens to the venue to wait in line. And there is no way I can do a GA Patriot Center/ DAR after expecting to see her at the club. Thanks!
DEVO!
Based on pictures from their recent shows, it looks DEVO has truly brought back the videos that made their shows in the 80s the spectacular events they were.
i could be wrong, but i think he meant "dar doesn't allow for dancing", meaning it's a seated venue so it's not intended nor ideal for dancing. you're stuck in the small confined space between your chair and the one in front of you, you'll be shoo'ed if you try dancing in the aisles, etc. no one is going to tell you you can't dance (except possibly the snarky dance-nazi seated beside you).
this is the worst place to request for this and i don't feel like bumping snailhook's thread since he doesn't book in the area anymore,
but Windy & Carl have an opening on their tour between their NYC and Richmond dates.

As mentioned on Just Announced, Kylie Minogue.
Seth, I asked months ago for this, and it could actually happen, if you can pull a DC show for her at a small to midsize venue I will forever be greatful.

Seconded.
Seth, If Weezer can break away from the Blink and Fall Out Boy tour - can you grab them for a Weezer ONLY show at 930 pleaaaasse? Thank you.
PLEASE bring SSPU to 9:30 Club! The RHL date conflicts with MogwaiI'll ditto that.
Hey Seth-
Ignore all other requests in this thread (unless they relate to a second Jesus Lizard show), and instead let me know if I should bite the bullet and buy a ticket to see MBV in Richmond, or if you're going to help us out and book a show in DC. I wont' be mad at you if they're not coming, but it would be nice to know if I should man up for that drive.
Thanks-
NKOTB
i thought the Richmond show is billed as the only show in the Mid-Atlantic? ;DIs DC really mid-Atlantic though?

I dont think The National's idea of "midatlantic" stretches very far north, because MBV is also doing APW which is upstate NJ/NYC.
I'm willing to bet there are many people in NYC who would refuse to refer to themselves as being part of the "mid-Atlantic".
And being a resident of the mid-Atlantic, I don't have a problem with not counting NJ as part of my region.I dont think The National's idea of "midatlantic" stretches very far north, because MBV is also doing APW which is upstate NJ/NYC.
Looks like Placebo is open to touring the US in October... would love to see them at the Club instead of a festival arrangement like when they toured with Linkin Park.Agreed. A club show would be perfect for them.

Did you get their new one yet? I really am digging it.

Seth,
any chance that the 9:30 Club site could start to do something like what the Metro is doing here?
http://metrochicago.com/history/
It would be pretty tremendous to see a comprehensive list of the bands over the years that were on the club's stage. Is there any record or would you have to rely on folks to recall dates? I'm one of those geeks that would love to see all this stuff preserved. THanks.

I would just like to say that the way tickets for v-fest were distributed is bs. As a multiple v-fest concert goer, giving the so called pre-sale on a Thursday at 10:00 a.m. was stupid . I am not 13 year old out of school for the summer with mommy and daddy's credit card. I have a job. I work , and I have paid for my tickets in the past,but know with the way this was done I will say that last years V-fest will be MY last one. Not only that , I will no longer attend anything @ MMP or the 9:30 club.

35,000 tickets are out there and I think it's safe to say that all of them don't have names on them just yet.

Hey Seth,
The Pixies are maybe doing shows in the US in November playing all of Doolittle and the B-Sides from that era and what not...it'd be WAY cool if you could set that up...yeah. It'd be really cool to hear "Manta Ray" and "Into the White" live at the club.
Thanks!
no pro video usually means cell phone and small digital camera video is ok. anything that is specifically designed only to shoot video would not be ok.

well thats exactly what I thought.. thanks for clarifying.. one guy was emphatically yelling " NO VIDEO! NO VIDEO!" even after I explained that it was no pro video.. another person told me I couldn't then said she'd check but never came back..
i think going over this in the pre-show staff meeting would really help so that everyone is on the same page.

the policy is always gone over in the pre show meeting. if there's ever any doubt, ask to speak with the crew chief on duty.
the band sets the policy. we enforce it to the best of our abilities. if i recall, your gear was slightly more than what we would consider non-pro video (which really doesn't include actual video cameras), so they checked up and got you a pass.
people that hide in the crowd to get away with recording something they aren't supposed to do are specifically going against the wishes of the artist they are there to support.
we're not trying to hassle people, we're trying to enforce the wishes of the talent. it's not a perfect system, and sometimes their wishes aren't clearly conveyed to us. we do our best, and if the crowd cooperates, it's all cool.
trust me, our jobs would be a lot easier if the bands would allow all cameras, audio, video, drawing pads, etch-a-sketch, charcoal, watercolors, or whatever. since that is rarely the case, we have to do the best we can.
Early, early request - Air has new album out in October. When the time comes, please see if they will grace the 930 stage? Thanks Seth!

Seconded. I'm sad I missed their show at the club a couple of years back. I heard they played for like 3 hours.
I thought the Air shows were great. At least 1.5 hours, but azag is right, not three. Perhaps the confusion is the two consecutive nights they performed = 3 hrs.

It was a pretty good show but nothing special. Also nowhere near three hours. Maybe half that.
I just had a strange urge to see Missy Elliott.

HEY SETH!
Don't make me go to Philly to see YYYs - they're playing the Electric Factory on the 29th. The 30th is open on their schedule. Book them for a late show at the club! It would be amazing!
Hey Seth...
Trent reznor of Nine Inch Nails just posted that they were doing one more short run of the US.. Any chance? PLEASE make one last DC area nin appearance happen? Patriot Center would be amazing to see them at one last time. Thanks

Can you imagine NIN at the club? Oh hell yeah...
sorry, no dc for you.
According to Reznor, the new shows will take place in New York City at the Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5; in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom ; and in LA at The Wiltern, The Henry Fonda, The Palladium and The Echoplex.
I think there is option to play a smaller club in DC too. The post seemed to be open to adding another date/club. Plus, Seth is very good are luring people (please Seth?:)) 930 would be the best spot. (second to RHL, but I seriously want the 930 staph and atmosphere for this request).sorry, no dc for you.I know, but there still lies the hope of more dates. After all, the shows with Janes Addiction were originally planned to be the last US dates, and look what happened.
How big are these venues in NYC?
and Terminal 5 holds about 3,000.
bowery is really, really small. expect no light show whatsoever at that show - the stage is tiny too.
How big are these venues in NYC?
here is some venue info for the new shows :
Webster 1400,
Aragon 4500,
Wiltern 2200,
Henry Fonda 1200,
Palladium 4000,
Echoplex 580,
Bowery 550

It's "try TO hit" not "try AND hit"... Sorry folks that is my fingernails across the chalkboard thing. Now back to your regularly scheduled discussions!
I need to correct my post as well. Original intent: "...(second choice: RHL)"sorry, no dc for you.I think there is option to play a smaller club in DC too. Plus, Seth is very good are luring people (please Seth?:)) 930 would be the best spot. (second to RHL, but I seriously want the 930 staph and atmosphere for this request).
Thanks for the lesson. I actually would have caught that on my own and fixed it, if i hadnt typed it in about 3 seconds and hit post. Ill try and pay more attention.
Sloan is looking for a gigIt breaks my heart that Sloan has to *look* for a gig. If I had more money, I'd rent out any place they wanted to play for them....
Broadcast are putting together a fall tour. A DC show would be great.
I'm pretty sure it's also safe to say that ixkpd-bk seconds this.
They'd probably draw the same amount of people as Stereolab. They're 10x better, though.
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs didn't play DC because they didn't get the offer they were looking for..a shame...they would have been a great choice for that merriweather Latin Rock Festival...
they will be in NYC in September. They just cancelled their July date up here. And not that this will help too much - but theres the LAMC (Latin Alternative Music Conference) in NYC every year. I think it just ended this weekend, and Calle 13 were awesome. I also really liked Eric Bobo.Los Fabulosos Cadillacs didn't play DC because they didn't get the offer they were looking for..a shame...they would have been a great choice for that merriweather Latin Rock Festival...
depending on what the new album sounds like i might give the monkeys a chance, but they are pretty dreadful live... one of the worse discrepancies i've ever experienced between how good a band sound on record vs. how disappointing their live show is.I thought they sounded perfect live, it's just theyre very lackluster live. Seen then twice, the music was spot on but it was just like listening to the record but with fancy lights. They need to spruce up their live act. On top of that I could never understand a damn thing Alex says between songs.

Would love to see Massive Attack at the club again.
Better yet, to really serve up a nice plate of steaming shit, book MBV at the acoustically perfect Lyric Opera House in BALTIMORE! ;D ;D ;DThat seems a natural Baltimore show if ever there was one.

Then again.. imagine Seth's bargaining power in going into negotiations with a band and being able to slam a jar down on the table with a testicle in it..
One last-ditch effort:
Shellac are playing ATP NY on 9/12. No telling how long before they're on the east coast again. Club has nothing booked according to the schedule on 9/13.
lol...they are not a 930 band. Try asking the Black Cat.One last-ditch effort:

How about just developing a pot food menu for forumers only?
any chanceof getting rodrigo y gabriela back to dc? they'll be touring soon
Them Crooked VulturesOh FUCK yes.
Hey Seth!
How about you have a 9:30 Club Forums VIP program instead of giving it to the BYT folks?

I'd rather give you a little extra cash than give it to those people
Seth, I know this is almost impossible, but David Sylvian is about to release a new album...if you could bring him to the club, it would be pretty cool...ohmygosh I would swoon
Thank you thank you thank you for Them Crooked Vultures. This will be one of the best shows of the year, no doubt. I just hope I can score a ticket!YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Pixies presale? Anyone? Just curious...
Seth, The Swell Season announced they plan to tour in support of their new album in November. Can you please book them at 930? Another selfish request: please do not book them on 11/2/09 (Bruce), nor 11/11/09Seth/twangirl - thank you! Although they are good for DAR, I prefer 930 & curious to see them in the club atmosphere. Thank you again & the date is perfectly aligned!
(or 11/10/09; WPA). Thank you in advance.
Hey Seth, can you see if they can squeeze in a DC date please?
Benjamin Gibbard + Jay Farrar Fall Tour Schedule:

October 26 - Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Hall - On sale TBA
October 28 - New York, NY @ Webster Hall - On sale 9/25, ticket link TBA
Gibbard played two shows in the same night, and sold out both.
I don't disagree.Gibbard played two shows in the same night, and sold out both.
Those people were paying to see Ben do DCFC songs though right? Not songs from some side project with a washed up alt-country singer.
Yes, DCFC songs but also All-Time Quarterback. Obviously, he played more of DCFC.He played nothing off the All-Time Quarterback CD at either concert.

Dear Mr. Hurwitz,
Will you please put Jesus Lizard tickets onsale soon? I will feel much better when I can actually hold my ticket in my hands and cuddle with it at night.
Thanks!

Hey Seth, this request may be a bit of a stretch, but it can't hurt to ask.
Four Tet is touring North America in February. he are some of the dates:
2-12 The Dome London, UK
2-17 Le Poison Rouge New York, NY
2-18 Middle East Downstairs Cambridge, MA
2-19 Empty Bottle Chicago, IL
any chance of maybe bringing him to the club After the London show and before the New York show?
Any chance of getting Phoenix to actually play the club in 2010 to make up for September?

Hey Seth, some people on the coachella board emailed Orbital's rep recently, and this was their response:
"Any gigs set up depend on promotors in the country to bring Orbital over here. Give them a nudge in America! Without the promotors...there will be no gigs :) fingers crossed."
So uh, Seth, *nudge*.
You should lead the charge and bring Orbital to the 9:30.
I just saw the coolest band called And The Wiremen at a local venue. Incredible downtempo-jazz. Would love to see them at the Club. Even if they're still too small to play there, hopefully this post will get someone to google them and see what a really awesome band can do. Great night.

Hi, I book And The Wiremen. We are actually looking at dates in the DC area currently for Feb/March. We've got some bigger NYC shows in the works including the new Brooklyn Knitting Factory. I would like to talk with the 9:30. I can be contacted at lynn@lynnfarrell.com.

Hey Seth,
Not sure why the Anvil show was canceled at Sonar in February (cancel was per the band / club? date conflict? I didn't research.). The other canceled Feb. show in NYC is rescheduled to March. Maybe 930 or RHL in Feb/Mar according to their schedule?

Hey Seth,
Are we going to get another Massive Attack show this year since they're going to be touring and whatnot?
seems to work for the club's bottom line, though! more fees! Cause a panic and make people pay fees they wouldn't pay if they waited to just walk up to the window during a lunch break! pretty awesome for them. So far,
exactly what happened with me. oh well. at least i didn't get killed my an earthquake this week.
Oh and uh did they ever get that shopping cart feature so that we can buy tickets to multiple events at once but only pay one $4 booking fee (like we could with tickets.com)?Not that I can tell when I purchased yesterday. I'd like to at least be able to combine it with parking if need be. No account addition feature yet, I do know that.

If May, prefer not the 27th and 28th. (Plus, Memorial Day weekend.) Thx.

Seth / Twangirl: How about Temper Trap? Please and thanks.Thank you!
I had to ask Wikipedia who the Temper Trap was, for instance.Oh really? I had no idea, but was embarrassed to ask but now that you say this - not so much.
Unbelievable. Do you feel obligated to go to all these shows you asked for? Because you should.:)Yup, and I do.. :) Only requests I can't attend are the ones I asked for in March. Just my luck, traveling same week. However, my luck doesn't work in Vegas, I'm pretty much a cooler...Besides, Temper Trap was probably a natural booking and less stroke of luck. Maybe I could be twangirl's protege, however. ;)
Thanks for the Scorps Seth!
Why are you pouncing on me again, sweetie? You know how I love micro-managing comments. :-*
Date specification? It actually works sometimes, whether they intend to benefit me or not.

Damn. :( I wonder when (to Google I go). It must've been around the time of Happiness in Magazines or even earlier, because I would have definitely not missed it otherwise. Other than a brief set at SXSW, I don't believe he's done any U.S. dates in support of The Spinning Top.
maybe it's the scorpions... according to http://www.the-scorpions.com/english/ they've recorded their last album and are going to do a farewell tour. maybe hutch has heard that IMP is bringing them to DC?
either that, or "the scorps" are going on before florence and the machine...
<shudder>
Sounds so hairy.

June 19th, 2010 M3 festival in Columbia, Maryland - at Merriweather Post Pavilion
Confirmed acts: Scorpions(Headliner), LA Guns, Danger Danger, Nelson, Kix, Dizzy Reed, Jetboy, Z02 from Z Rock and Warrant
Other acts they are talking to are:TESLA,JACKYL, DIRTY LOOKS, SEBASTIAN BACH, WINGER AND BRITNY FOX
Meh....
I would see a Scorpions show in a heartbeat. But not as part of this kind of Jaxxapalooza.
Oh my god...
This one (at the club) has me speechless so I'll just let it speak for itself:
W 4/7 Mayhem w/ Ludicra ? Tombs ? Krallice 10pm Doors
Where the fuck does one begin in expressing a reaction to such a bill?
Thanks for the most ridiculous/unexpected black metal lineup I've seen in a while.
Heard they had a gauzy type of cloth or screen in front of them so that they played behind that. Might have been projections on the thing but I might be making that part up.
Hey Seth,
Any chance you could bring Ween to the 930? Maybe a two night stand?
SETH!
LA times just leaked info about a live Chemical Brothers set this summer @ Hollywood Bowl.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring them to the 9:30!!!!!!

OH HELLS YES. their last show in brooklyn was mind-blowing... amazing visuals and the place turned into a giant, ecstatic dance party. i, and several thousand other people, left the show on a huge high. quote of the night, on the way out of the venue: "FUCK THE PYRAMID!!!", in reference to daft punk's show. it's definitely up there with DP's stage show (however, the frenchies still win this head-to-head IMO.. but it's a good fight).
they played at coachella last year, didn't they? anyone catch their set?
not sure if the club is big enough for the chem bros, considering how much equipment they cart around and the size of the production... maybe MPP? now that would rule. whether DC could fill MPP for a CB show is the pertinent question. i am definitely catching them if they play on the east coast. i'd rather not trek to NYC, but i will if i have to. seth, don't make me go to NYC!
prediction: chem bros headline lolla.
If I had to, and had more people going, I'd be willing to go to NYC again to see them.
They wont play MPP, they're not that big unfortunately. They'll play the 9:30 if anywhere (which would be an awesome venue for them!). Their last tour reportedly didn't sell that well :(

agreed, 930 is the right-sized venue for them but that'll probably mean a smaller show... but hopefully still live, not a DJ set.
jonsi will be doing a big-production, multimedia tour in april after his coachella gig: http://www.fiftynineproductions.co.uk/project?p=58
i think DAR would be a great venue for this.
Hey Seth,Rumor (?) is that he will tour w/ Neko Case and Kelly Hogan. Singing his songs and them on bgvx. Something like that. Seth, if so, club is still preferred. Theatre style would do, and MPP or Mason would be just too big and less intimate. Thanks!
Jakob Dylan is set to release a new solo album on Apr. 6. Tour dates may be in the works...
Thanks for the most ridiculous/unexpected black metal lineup I've seen in a while.
Hey Seth, Orbital just added a pre-coachella gig in SF. Maybe this is the start of a US tour?
and maybe said tour could include a stop at the 9:30?
John Fogerty at either the club or MPP
I'm that I'm dreaming but wouldn't it be cool to get Fogerty and Ray Davies on the same bill at MPP.

dearest sethwald,
any progress on a Phoenix make-up date?
thanks!
Hey Seth, any chance the Buzzcocks make a stop at the club?
So we need Underworld, Gary Numan, Massive Attack, and Orbital. ;DUm, yep! What he said!
In retrospect, that Aphex Twin show is something I'll NEVER forget. Sorry to rub it in, but truly it was a special moment in time. I'll never, EVER forget hearing "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" blasting through the club, or the teddy bears from "Donkey Rhubarb" come parading out. Insane.
Damn, hearing about these live Aphex shows make me jealous as can be. When were they? Before 2002 I'm assuming, because prior to Coachella in 08, his only stateside gig was at UCLA in 2002.
I saw his Coachella set and it was a complete mindfuck. It was a DJ set, I don't think he even does "live" sets anymore.
But on the Aphex scale, I'd also put the Kraftwerk shows from 2005 up there. There'd be no Aphex without "Metal on Metal".
It's a stretch but do you think M83 could squeeze in a visit?

Also, Sting is touring w/ an orchestra I think at most shows...guess he couldn't swing by for something even more intimate? Either way would love it if you could get your hands on the show vice another outlet.
Please bring The Fall by if they tour the US for their new album.
kthxbye
those M83 dates were from 2009.Oh, whoops, thanks for the catch. Pulled them from their website. Hm. I put this request at the back of the queue until it is sorted out.It's a stretch but do you think M83 could squeeze in a visit?

you are missing my point. My point is that if they can't move 400 tickets, why would seth bother booking them at the club?The great, incomparable Mark E.

My opinions on DAR are well known and I've been warned not to go there...
But it would depress me as fuck if Pavement came back after a decade only to play the same venue (930 Club) they always played for the same people that always went...
I'd hope although I'm probably wrong that there's a younger generation of people- in addition to the usual crowd- that never got to see them, have been turned on to their music and want to check it out..

I mean the mod told me not to talk about how much DAR sucks..
I've been there enough times to know no band should be playing there..agree.
Not sure about the answer to either question but I do remember Lambert boasting that number as if it was something to be proud of in a city paper interview from a couple years back.
And by the way the 930 Club has also banned bands - I happen to know a good friends band that was banned in the early 90s and never manage to play an IMP venue again- so lets keep things in perspective..Anyone IMP banned was 100% justified. Anyone RNRH banned is a prime example of the man ruining rock and roll.
Provide the quote dude otherwise it sounds like you're pullling stuff

here's the thread where this all started, hutch: http://www.930.com/forum/index.php?topic=11306.0
knowing ONE band that's been banned, but your own admission "in the early 90's", doesn't put someone on the same footing as this guy.
You're right about this discussion not belonging here. It's Joe's fault. He brought up RNRH. Fuck you, Joe! Look what you did!
Back on topic:
it looks like Gui Boratto will be nearby in July. Ween, too.
Its a known fact that different clubs will not book certain types of music yet I don't hear anyone complaining about that..
I mean the Black Cat on their very website makes it clear what kind of music they look to book and what they are not interested..
So if a promoter will not rebook certain bands what is the big deal? At least he booked them in the first place....
And say what you will about Red and Black but at least they book local bands quite often.. You've got to admit the 930 hardly ever books local bands... Is booking local bands regularly a good thing? I would think so!
Its just silly to get bent out of shape because a promoter says he won't book certain bands.. they all pass judgment in one way or another.
One would think (wishfully or otherwise) that that gig is part of a tour.You're right about this discussion not belonging here. It's Joe's fault. He brought up RNRH. Fuck you, Joe! Look what you did!

you've completely missed the point. refusing to book a jazz band, because you're not looking to promote jazz events, makes business sense.
refusing to re-book a band because of issues you have with them also makes good biz sense.
BUT a promoter bans TWENTY FIVE acts in one year (vs. other who haven't banned half as many in 10+ years)... ya start to wonder who is the problem - the bands, or the promoter. scratch that. you don't wonder, you know.
Moreover, you have no idea how many acts anybody else bans per year.
Damn. I've been booking all ages shows in Washington DC for 22 years, including 6 or 7 concurrent years in Baltimore, and while I've certainly had issues with bands and even banned a few, I'd be hard-pressed to come up with even 15 bands I've banned during my entire career.
Really you guys are just trying to stir the pot with respect to RNRH.. If they want to "ban"- and I think its a silly word to latch on to even if the RNRH dude used it (probably thinking he was cool..)- or refuse to rebook bands because they are not meeting their expectations then there is nothing wrong with that.. At least they gave them a chance in the first place.
Also, you really have to THINK about this:
the bands the RNH dude is booking- many of them are young semi-professionals bands..its a different type of band from the 930... some of the bands playing the DC9/Red and Blac are really just young kids.... These types of bands will more often do things that mean you don't get invited back than say the established professional bands that make their living on touring: the types of bands that play the 930.
i have been booking here since 2003 and have banned two bands, and only because of violence and destruction of venue equipment.
I don't know if this Seth's wheelhouse precisely, but it's heavily rumored Conan O'Brien is going to do a live tour... wouldn't DAR be a good venue for this type of event?Seconded. Not even sure what these live dates entail, but I'd love to see Conan in person.
Soft Sales are back! And almost immediately following Sugartastic's mentioning of them in this thread.

Conan at the 9:30 Club would immediately re-establish any possible hipster cred he may have lost recently.I was also going to ask for Conan - please, Seth?
Don't sell your wish short. ;) Bob Dylan played the club one night, Pavement can too. (two nights would at least would be good though:))
Pretty please, Seth? Swell Season decided to come back to the States...no DC dates - squeeze them in?? Perhaps in June??? (After Mem. Day / show in OH?)

Hey Seth,Seth, almost got my wish....Can he also come to 930 [in addition to RHL], please? 930 is more intimate and RHL is a trek mid-week. Thanks! (and he is w/ Neko.:))
Jakob Dylan is set to release a new solo album on Apr. 6. Tour dates may be in the works...if so, can you please grab him and bring him back to the club? I've missed the two times he has been to the club. Would love the opportunity to see him at the club. Thanks!
Sugartastic Tee, you should request Gorillaz at DAR or Merriweather. Say it's essential Seth pursues this booking with all his considerable power.
:P
(congrats on yet another satisfied request!)
massive attack as well, please?
Surprised Gainsbourg failed to reschedule the canceled show.
Is it known why Charlotte canceled her D.C. date? I know she played elsewhere in the States around the same time, including a spot on Letterman.
I would love to see her live, especially after listening to the amazing IRM album. So here's hoping she does reschedule in the (near) future.
Kentucky is the 1 seed, but the SEC was pretty lame this year and they didn't play anyone else of importance.
Noel Gallagher is preparing his first post Oasis solo tour. Only confirmed venue is Pabst theater in Milw. How about the club?
Hey Seth,
Word on the streets is this Jesus dude is coming back. If he does a small club tour before going big, could you book him without an opening act? I'd be curious to see him but don't want to sit through a pope or kirk cameron song and dance.
It would also be helpful to announce beforehand what varietal of wine he creates from water. It would be nice to know if I need to get my drink on before the show.
Thanks!

After the shit that got done to him the last time he came here, I highly doubt he's planning on making a return appearance. And if by chance he did, I don't think somebody with the name "Hurwitz" would get the booking rights.
I think I was hoping for an intimate show, such as the ones he held in NYC recently. Perhaps after the summer.
The Black KeysYes please. Hopefully a 930 show, and not at Vfest.

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.....
So at least this system would improve the whole scalping thing a bit.
Also the convenience fees weren't high at all. I can easily forgive Friday's SNAFU since ticketfly doesn't charge convenience fees that begin to get ridiculously high.
So at least this system would improve the whole scalping thing a bit.
Disagree completely.
Because they would probably still "work" in order to get them.
This is probably a stupid question, but for big name shows why couldn't ticket providers print the buyer's name on the ticket and then label any extra tickets they buy as guest? When you enter the venue, you have to show ID showing it is actually you and then if you buy any extra tickets label them as guest tickets? It wouldn't solve everything, but scalpers would be more reluctant to buy a ticket if they know one of their tickets can only be used on themselves.
Because they would probably still "work" in order to get them.
Yes, some might continue to work to get them, but isn't that an improvement over the current system where it takes scalpers virtually no work to get premium tix?
You have to think that making people actually put in hours of effort to get tix would curb some of the e-bay and craigslist scalpers.

Yeah but it would also curb alot of honest buyers who for whatever reason can't be at a box office at the given time. The profit margins for some tickets that scalpers sell are so damn high that I can easily see them taking the time to get out there.
And still, I think even then, the majority of fans who buy tickets would prefer to do online selling, as opposed to showing up with thousands of other people to get tickets. It unfortunately appears to be more convenient for everyone.
However, I stand by the other post regarding what NIN did. Issue non-transferable tickets with the buyers name on them. The problem is though is that the NIN camp doesn't get to issue all the tickets themselves. Reznor wrote an essay on it, it's a good read.
we're gonna get this thing right, but it might take a few stumblesSeth, a wish / question not pertaining to the recent MPP sale issue but still on topic...What about offering the ability to purchase different show tickets in one bulk order? We used to be able to do this at tickets.com.
the fact that someone couldn't get Phish tickets during the first 40 minutes is not a reason to stop trying
btw...in case nobody noticed...the Merriweather Ticketfly fees are a flat $7 per ticket regardless of ticket price...$4 per order handling...no other charges unless you want them overnighted...we absorb credit card fees, which is probably what people didn't realize was jacking up the price at check-out
this is a huge drop from what it used to be
930 is different because we weren't able to make the same kind of deal that we could with the huge volume that Merriweather does
Because they would probably still "work" in order to get them.
Because they would probably still "work" in order to get them.
This is correct...and they will charge you for the "extra work" they had to put in and the "difficulty" of obtaining the best tickets. Problem definitely not solved.
I think it would deter some casual scalpers who do it now just because it is so easy to get tix under the current system.

Hey Seth!
Gary Numan had to cancel his brief US stint last weekend because of the volcano. He has said he plans to return around September to make up for it, and this time, include more dates. Oh yeah - he's performing The Pleasure Principle in its entirety, too.
This would make an absolutely awesome club show.

Gorillaz announced US tour plans, but no dates...make it happen!! Maybe DAR? Or Patriot Center?
Richard Thompson is playing the Philly folk fest Sunday August 22nd. The week before he has no dates. A club date would be nice. :)

Let's work on our reading comprehension:to make this work for shows that might not sell out.
I think most people consider "beyond comfortable" to be oversold, whether within the legal limit or not.
also . . . is it that difficult to have more than 1 or 2 bartenders at every bar in your venue? the national has 5-6 at every bar they have, and for some odd reason people don't wait forever for a drink.

I really want to see them as well. The 930 Fragile Army show was simply amazing.

You do know that she frequents this board too, right?
Pretty please...Dean Wareham doing Galaxie 500 songs! I'd really love to see him. He's doing some limited shows in Atlanta, Philly, LA, NYC and SF.

Plus one! Please. Many great Luna shows over the years at 930 (including one they recorded for live album).. Bring Dean and Britta back!
Probably not...but it'd still be nice to be able to see some shows at the 9:30 that don't have the objective of selling out. I still remember the Electrafixion show in 1996 when like 20 people were in the audience, and Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant were doing a ton of Echo songs again. Some of those shows can be pretty special.
Queens of the Stone AgeSeconded. I don't know whether a full US tour for them is in the works this year, but I would LOVE to see Queens at the Club.
Any chance you can get Interpol for a show sometime this year? Didn't they skip DC entirely in their last tour? I know they played around DC (Baltimore and other places in VA). Just curious. Seems like there's a handful of bands that haven't played here in years...Queens of the Stone Age is another one that comes to mind. And Social Distortion.Did they tour after the Virgin Fest set? I thought that was the last time they toured, and dc didnt get a show due to V Fest....
Seth, I don't know if they (or the club) can squeeze a date in, but for what it's worth, I'd like to see Old 97's again at the club. (Or Rhett solo; but the band fills the club w/ folks). Either way here are the current dates: http://www.rhettmiller.com/tour/
thanks :-*

any chance of getting the Stooges down here around the time of their other shows in late August/early September so I don't have to trek to AC?Ditto that...I think I'm getting a friday ticket to ATP to see them and Mudhoney but if they played down here i'd see that as well...

If a local show doesn't pan out, I suggest taking our approach and making a weekend of it.

Yes, please!
Seth on NPR talking about slumping ticket sales...

great news!
another thing TF added recently, for MPP shows, is the ability to pick seats from a seat map. i really like that feature - the system's definition of "best available" isn't always mine.

Seeing as they don't really have to try and upsell FreeFest tickets, I would assume there isn't really a clause that may prohibit LCD SS from doing another show in the area?
i was thinking that too, but IMP wants freefest to be well attended.

all tickets have been claimed but my point is that doesn't mean everyone will show up at MPP on sept 25. the fact that it's free means that people can bail without it costing them anything. if LCDSS is a big draw for you, and you can see them at the club, you might decide skip the festival. doubtful that one big name on the bill will change your decision to attend, but start offering up a few of them and...
i'm not saying this is the only factor organizers are taking in to consideration, but it is one. just b/c it's sold out doesn't mean they want to dilute its uniqueness.

Sufjan Stevens just announced a new tour... playing Asheville on 11/7 and Philly on 11/10
Will he be adding a date in DC on the 8th or 9th? Or both?
Sufjan at the 9:30 club would make my life... saw him at the Kennedy Center show and twas awesome...
Sunn O))) please.

Weezer is looking into a two night per city tour to play Blue and Pinkerton. This would be very amazing at the 930 Club.
any chance we can get Underworld this year?
That'd be incredible if the club got an Underworld gig.
That'd be incredible if the club got an Underworld gig. They're producing new material and coming stateside this fall!
Any chance of the Strokes this fall/winter?
Merge posted their tour schedule. Not looking good.

Please please please The Clean
Nothing wrong with requesting smaller bands. The stage can be pushed up for a reason. Joe would have said the same thing if somebody requested Mono back in January.True, and I have seen a couple smaller bands there. Most of the bands i would request get booked at Rock and Roll Hotel, Ottobar, Black Cat, DC9, Velvet, etc anyways so i quit requesting bands in here outside of Underworld, Aphex Twin, Placebo, and a couple others.
Hey Seth,
I have another unrealistic yet awesome request for ya:
Leftfield have gotten back together, and are performing at the RockNess festival this year.
Any remotely possible chance of a 9:30 gig if they decide to come stateside?
speaking of Underworld.... Seth? Any updates?
speaking of Underworld.... Seth? Any updates?
don't plan any trips 10/25
Underworld at the 9:30 Club is one of my dream concerts. Please happen...
i did not, and do not, know who this band is . . . so i looked them up on the ole wikipedia thing. interesting history that does date back there, albums into the present day, a storied career like something out of fiction (there was even a festival show with the beastie boys somewhere crazy where anarchists attacked) and of course the kraftwerk connections. but the highlight read was that they "are also known as" : Lemon Interupt, Steppin' Razor, Mr. and Mrs. Christmas
I saw them back at V-fest in 2008. It was at night in the dance tent with only a few hundred people. Amazing show.I still regret that being the only year i skipped out on V Fest. I really wanted to see Underworld. Ill definitely be at the club show.
Can we PLEASE get George Thorogood and the Destroyers? He drinks alone...with nobody else.
Can we PLEASE get George Thorogood and the Destroyers? He drinks alone...with nobody else.
you know, i was gonna say something rude and mean about george not putting out anything good or memorable in like the last 20 years and having to fall back on songs like his five standards, three of which were covers . . . but then i checked out his last two albums, released not that long ago. not that bad after all. i hate having to give something a chance before commenting on it.
I want to reiterate my Florence + the Machine request. ;) I know they played the sold out co-headlining (with the Temper Trap) show earlier this year, but she has become even more popular since. I'm sure there would be lots of interest in another D.C. area show.
10-30 New Orleans, LA - Voodoo Music Festival
10-31 Boston, MA - House of Blues

I wonder if they would play the Club or the Constitution Hall at this point (post-VMAs)...
I wish you would take over the bars in College Park and show them how music, booze, and underage kids can peaceably coexist.
we don't generally move the stage up unless it's a small crowd
It looks like Manic Street Preachers will be touring the US early next year so just putting my request in now ;D
I think his poorly worded request was to NOT move the stage up, even if attendance is sparse.

Hey Seth, how about another night or 2 of The Roots back at the club?Seconded, definitely. I can't remember which night I was at last year, but it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. And How I Got Over is one of 2010's best albums. I'd love another late December Roots 930 Club show.
I see they're playing New Years eve in Brooklyn. Maybe at the end of December?
yeah seth is good . . . but if he was awesome he could get redd kross back together when they still were the shit, before they cut their hair and starting dressing like something from las vegas. yeah, i know, there would be about twenty people there.
I vote for take that/ Robbie WilliamsHell yes. I lived in London when Robbie was in his prime, and I would love to see him. Preferably solo, but Take That works too.

Seth! Its time for one of those "Surprise at the Club!" bookings..something that makes you do a double take " what?!!!!!!!! so and so at the 930? WOW!".
Lets shake things up!
hey seth . . . seeing how kanye is super cool now, beloved by all things hip and indie (and here i thought everybody hated him and thought he treated that girl who is country now, even though she didn't start that way, so horribly and how dare he so let's boycott everything he does and call him bad names in the press) why don't you just go ahead and have him. everybody will know your name and you can be the new "sethy-g."

A little birdie told me that Queens of the Stone Age are going to tour in support of the 10th anniversary of Rated R...PLEASE Seth, they haven't played in DC in about 5 years. Any chance you can make that happen?? I'd be eternally grateful.I don't think this is happening now (I've read mid to late 2011 as the earliest US dates will happen), but I'd love to see the Queens at 930 whenever they do tour.

Oakland baby!
I've seen them 3 times and they never fail to disappoint.
hey james,
you don't need to have tickets in your possession to list them on stubhub or ebay, so you can list them before they go on sale. these people are essentially saying that they will have them. check out the "delivery info" section - they're not promising the tickets until three days before the show.
scalpers list tickets that haven't gone on sale yet all the time. they prey on the insecurity of fans that they won't be able to get tix during presales/onsales. as an added bonus, it gives message boards a reason to think venue operators are colluding with scalpers.
If you google one of those shows, and perhaps the other, you'll discover that they actually ARE on sale, via ticketfly.
(...)
Not that either of them will sell out their two night stands immediately.
White Lies in the new year, please
This (http://ticketfly.com/purchase/event/22325) in dc would be swell.
The '07 show was all kinds of fun.
This (http://ticketfly.com/purchase/event/22325) in dc would be swell.Yes it was. But a Bakesale centric show would be even more awesome than the Classic Tour was (at least to me, its my favorite album by them and the one that got me into them after watching them perform Give Up on 120 Minutes sometime in the mid 1990's).
The '07 show was all kinds of fun.

While I have your attention (right) the barriers in front of the stage suck.
They are playing 3/8-9.
I prefer the new barricades.
I meant all barricades, ever, unless used in the process of launching a revolution. One that I agree with. Now that I've searched the site I see barricading has been going on for years; being old enough to have rested my beer on the stage of the old club many a time I probably just hadn't hit shows recently that were thought to be potential trouble. Philosophically speaking, it's rock and roll and barriers have no place in it, but I know liability blah blah blah and it IS his party.While I have your attention (right) the barriers in front of the stage suck.
is it these barricades in particular you don't like? if so, why not? the staph really seems to like them.
or are you just saying that all barricades suck and you'd prefer that the club not use any, ever?
I may be on my own on this one, but..
Hey Seth, System of a Down are somewhat back together and doing some European festivals in June (or sometime in the summer). Being that their last two albums were pretty horrible, a club show wouldn't be totally inconceivable (if they do anything stateside).
Nobody seconding my C93 req? Lame.

Killsaly - you missed it in Baltimore last year? The Betty tunes sounded amazing that night.
^^ he means artistically... ::)
I don't know how it may be possible, but if there's a will...can you please book The Decemberists, please?That would be very nice... Maybe a two date stand? They are definitely cool to see at a place like MPP, but the time I saw them at Sonar in 05 is definitely the most memorable.

Hey Seth,
I see Elvis Costello and the Imposters are doing a club/theater tour. How about a show at the Club?
Elvis was just in DC 9 months ago. ..at the Warner.. great show..And doesn't he tend to perform at Wolftrap? I'd be up for a club show though.
He was also in Richmond...
p.s. I'm still holding out for Old 97's...;P
Foo Fighters are having secret shows...Also, their new album is out in April...How about something intimate, no GMU or MPP?
Also, didn't this get announced for April or something?p.s. I'm still holding out for Old 97's...;P
All to what Bombay said, my thoughts too, please and thanks!! I would love to see them at the club as I couldn't get in the last 930 show when RatBastard switched shirts. When they were at GMU (2005 sounds about right), I was sick and missed. OH and please don't have DC101 or Fast Eddie's or some nutty place in Fairfax giving away tickets; normal methods for tickets work. (why a bunch of us missed the last club show)Foo Fighters are having secret shows...Also, their new album is out in April...How about something intimate, no GMU or MPP?
Foo Fighters club shows are among my all-time favorite shows ever. They're always fantastic. *cough*boardieticketsplease*cough*
But if we can't get a club show, PLEASE put them in a regular venue somewhere. It seems like every time they come around it's either a nearly-impossible-to-get-into club show or a big festival. When was the last time they played a regular rock show around here? GMU 2005?
Hey Seth
Bring back Foo Fighters. I'm down for a Foo gig at 9:30 Club. They haven't played DC since 2005 and in 2008 opted for your Virgin Festival in Baltimore. We need 2 DC gigs. 9:30 Club & Arena show(s) Patriot Center. No Verizon Center! It will be a nightmare for tickets if they play 9:30 so it should be first come first serve into the venue like the (not so secret shows) in LA. Similar to Blink 182 $2 show tour at 9:30 Club in 2003 and 2005 System of a Down show tickets on sale the same day in the morning then come back for the show at night.
Ratbastard you might have to give up your t-shirt Dave gave you at the 2005 gig for Seth to bring back Foo.
oops looks like i'm piling on the requests here..sorry about that...but this is the one i really want this year seth so please make it happen!

Hey Seth... Not sure if anyone has ever mentioned it but the forum clock is ahead two hours. That is making the assumption you want the clock to be set to the time zone that the club is in. Then again maybe it's a worm hole time warp thing at that very corner. Just sayin'.

Don't worry Ratbastard there will be some type of Foo Fighters announcement tomorrow or Tuesday this week. However it might not include the DC show or 9:30 Club.
I know, that's why I said maybe not the club. Ticket prices are starting at the low end of $160 anyway..
I say neither.Don't worry Ratbastard there will be some type of Foo Fighters announcement tomorrow or Tuesday this week. However it might not include the DC show or 9:30 Club.

Right. April 13 in DC. Hopefully you sent in a photo of your garage and will invite us.No, I was just speculating but yeah nothing announced so far.

OK so this is getting pretty picked and all but just in case... I am taking my son and his beloved on a 7-day cruise when he graduates MOS training in lat May. Proud as hell of that boy being a fellow Marine and all. Anyway I will be gone from May 24th to June 6th. So if this FF show does happen to be pulled off can it PLEASE not be during that time frame. There may even be one extra $1 bill in it for you Seth! OK that's the end of my selfish 'the world revolves around me' post. Now back to the regular requests, gripes, complaints, and run-of-the-mill ramblings that make us love each other so much (everyone but wml that is)...
Seth please book Beady Eye in June. They are playing Philly and NY but not DC...cmon.Seconded! :) I would seriously love to see Beady Eye come to D.C.
GBV just added dates in Philly and Brooklyn for June 17/18...any chance we can get another DC date?
J Geils Band is getting together for some shows in August.. A DC area date would be great..
Hey Seth how about getting Kyuss Lives! w/ The Sword.
They're playing Terminal 5 on September 23rd, don't make me go all the way to NYC! 9:30 needs some riffage!

dear 930,
a request for tomorrow's shpongle show: please do not push the stage forward as much as you would for a rock show. i suspect that this one won't be sold out but there is no need to make the show "feel intimate". please give us (extra) space to dance. being shoulder-to-shoulder isn't a plus in this case.
thank you!

just cause i think it's worth restating here, thanks for paul simon last night. everything about it was perfect to me.
fyi: i noticed in the women's room downstairs, the hooks are gone in at least two of the stalls. it pained me to have to put my new bag on the floor after the show (promise, i'm not pretentious; i was coming from work).

Seth, thanks for taking our gripes into consideration. If you have a sec, I have another small issue. I probably should've mentioned this before, but I noticed that I don't get free beer when I attend shows at your club. I know it's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but it would really help me enjoy shows more. And if you could do me one other solid and pay for my cab to and from the club, that would be aces. Thanks!!!just cause i think it's worth restating here, thanks for paul simon last night. everything about it was perfect to me.

Tangerine Dream is playing MoogFest this year, any chance they can come to the club? or even 6th and I?
Would Tangerine dream even be worth seeing if they did only later (post-1975)period stuff? I would vote no.

Hey Seth,
How about accepting AmEx?
Hey Seth,
How about accepting AmEx?
Next year, Doctor Dee will play at the London Coliseum, as part of the Cultural Olympiad. Once its Manchester run ends, Albarn is travelling to Congo, to play his part in a project in which DJs and producers will record and sample Congolese music, and aim to complete a record in not much more than a week. Blur, he says, may reunite again, to play their old songs in the US, though when I ask him about the possibility of new Blur songs, I get a mumbled "don't know". There is also final work to be done on a largely instrumental album made by Albarn, Allen and the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary.
too much spam on this forum....

Hey Seth.. once again, Hum have dusted off the amps and are going to play a few shows in the Fall.. including one on September 10th that they're being criptic about.
Are they a late add for FreeFest?!?!
If not, any chance you can make a pass at getting them out here.
Anyone else see them at the HFStival in 1995? and then at the 930 in 1998?

the fans are indeed amazing - thanks! it was still really muggy in the pavilion last night but without those fans it would have been unbearable. single best upgrade to a venue since the 930's new sounds system.
while we're on the topic of MPP: what's the official policy on the north entrance (closest to the mall)? i was under the impression that it was only used as a post-show exit, but last night it was available as an entry - which is AWESOME when parking at the mall. will it always be open from now on?

well awrite then. i saw it shut once or twice and had to walk around to the south entrance, and have been working with that ever since. admittedly i've only been to MPP 4 or 5 times.
i was pleasantly surprised to find it open last night but looks like i was surprised by the norm... sounds about right ;D

How's about a 3:00 AM 9/25 Radiohead show at the Club after their Saturday Night Live appearance?
How's about a 3:00 AM 9/25 Radiohead show at the Club after their Saturday Night Live appearance?
I like the idea of a Radiohead presents King Of Limbs at Constitution Hall leading up to SNL (smaller venue since they'd only play new album plus the 'b sides'). Contest so that everyone who correctly predicts the corresponding natural disaster wins the KOL Newspaper Edition and Remixes. After party Thom Yorke DJ Set at the Club. That sounds like a win-win.
Did I miss something? Do they now broadcast SNL from DC instead of NYC?

I mean with all respect Seth, Liz, other venerated 930 peeps in da hous what do we have to do to get Ween to DC??
You used to have them at the 930 regularly.. then not so regular.. then a show at substandard sound DAR a long time ago and now nothing for like FOUR years..
throw in a free fishing boat and some tackle for deaner..maybe take him to the eastern shore after the show..i don't know what..just make it happen!

Scratch Acid are playing the US in November/December, a booking would be most appreciated.
By the way Seth, this comment wins so much:
"Seth Hurwitz, co-owner of the 9:30 Club, says the Fillmore?s demographic might not end up overlapping so much with the 9:30?s. ?I thought they might be competition, which is okay,? Hurwitz says. ?But they are clearly going after the soccer mom crowd and their children ? people either too old or too young, to be venturing down to the big city. ?

Now that the Lincoln is going out of business, any chance of you taking it over?
Now that the Lincoln is going out of business, any chance of you taking it over?
My thoughts exactly!
This would be great for shows that work best as seated shows, even if you have to concentrate on booking mostly Folk, Jazz, Blues and other laid back acts that tend to appeal to the seated crowds. I know I would have absolutely loved some nice comfy seats when I saw Hammock and Stars Of The Lid. Those bands put you right to sleep, in a good way.
If anybody can bring that place back up to snuff and turn it back into a success, it's you Sir Seth. Come on, you know you can do it. ;)
That would be like having another child late in life

Jaguar, Iota was the most ridiculous setting imaginable for that SotL Hammock show. I lucked out and had a bar stool but that show never should have been there.
It does not excuse the douchetastic way the SotL dudes acted, though.

Not many places would have been ideal for that show. My bedroom, maybe. It was kind of funny seeing people falling asleep all over the place. Definitely the quietest audience I've ever seen. Very unlike your average crowd. You could have easily heard a pin drop and people would have looked around wondering who was making all that noise.It does not excuse the douchetastic way the SotL dudes acted, though.
Okay, I must have missed something. Maybe I slept through it. They seemed quite likable to me with a good sense of humor.

"The 9:30 club is a dump, both inside and out.
Hurwitz should be ashamed of himself, foistering this grungy dump on music-hungry fans.
I have been to rock clubs in several cities, and some of them are very well maintained and offer fan amenities that Seth should have invested in long ago. So I welcome venues such as Birchmere and the new Fillmore in Silver Spring. I know where I will spend my money."

I feel better now, thanks

And, Jammin Java took over the Christian music place so...DO it, Seth. It will be like having grandkids! You have to start to find a protege by some point right? Have a contest to search.

They were being snarky about it. At one point, one of them mumbled something to the effect of "a classical ensemble in a rock club. Here's another hit." There were a couple other comments like that.

I was thinking this too..a different market...book talks or something...Like when Josh Ritter came through played some songs and read from his book...Or John Waters' Christmas, etc. Lord knows we are limited with book stores now for in-storesI think it should be turned back into a great movie theater, with occasional shows...what a home run that would beThat would be ideal and add yet more variety to what you have to offer. I was thinking even adding a few live theater performances as they come around. More of an off off Broadway type with either a hipster and/or an historical edge. Kind of a mini Kennedy Center for the common folk and less mainstream performers. Maybe even host a few speakers.
Oh, btw... I would bet that that fool is just some FSS investor who is pissed off because the 930 Club is still blowing away their new silver spoon feed baby Huey. Just because they built it doesn't mean that they will come.
I've been to the club and have had cravings for fries and/or ice cream countless times.

Any chance of getting some Tech shirts on the merchandise table? I'm an avid runner and would love to see some 9:30 branded athletic gear...
On a related note, I have had a couple of the 930 cupcakes not long after they had been taken out of the fridge and they are exponentially better when slightly cold.
Hey seth,
will be at my favorite music venue again tonight
BUT..
I must object to the 930 posts on Facebook that "PHENOMENAL" seats have just been released for the Foo Fighters show when they are limited view seats!
Come now..the great 930/IMP organization is better than that..
there are a lot of people complaining on FB that only behind-the-stage seats were available. those folks should have added "currently available". prime in-front-of-the-stage seats could have been released. those would have disappeared in seconds, whereas the crappy ones would remain unsold (you didn't buy any either, did you? there ya go). so for all we know there were indeed excellent seats released... we all just got there too late.

poppycock..i got there 45 seconds after it was posted on FB..and all i got was limited view..45 secs is not too late..
here's how it went down...
seats behind the stage were released
the Foos people let us know that these, in fact, were going to end up being amazing seats
they need to be marked "limited view", as they are not traditional seats and some equipment could be in the way at certain moments
now I don't know how you can be more honest than that
as far as "fooling" anyone...there is always the opportunity to opt out of the sale at any time...nobody is being forced to do anything
these late releases always sell fast...we don't ever try & fool anyone into anything, and we certainly wouldn't need to here if we did
but everyone always cries foul when they don't get the tickets they wanted
Seats behind the stage actually aren't bad at all... actually kind of a cool way to see a show if your view isn't obstructed.

i thought the same thing. i've sat behind the stage before for a show, and thought it was awesome and different. plus the view of the entire crowd staring at your direction is creepy.
Not a fan of sitting behind the stage. Number one, you're going to mostly get a view of the band's asses. Number two, the sound is always somehow a bit off. Number three, if they're such great seats, why aren't they sold for every single show? The Foos people saying that they'll be some of the best seats is just a lame attempt at packing more folks in who don't know the difference.

If I had the option of seeing the expressions of band member's faces vs. their ass, yeah, I'd rather have eye contact.

Hey Seth - how long does it take to clean up after a Gwar show? Just wondering.
Yeah, when are the Foos playing at 930 again? ;D Tonight was in my top 5 shows.
Yeah Kasabian! I saw them with The Music at the club way back and it was an excellent show!
OH GOD NO!!
I like you guys but the chili peppers are seriously like the worst band ever.
Superseriously.OH GOD NO!!
I like you guys but the chili peppers are seriously like the worst band ever.
Seriously.
I do like cupcakes.
There needs to be a venue that only books noise and drone and only serves cupcakes and coffee. ;D
walkonby: hey azag . . . wanna go see the red hot chili peppers at the nine thirty club?
azag: no way man, they suck and nobody wants to see them. nobody even knows who they are anymore. nothing. nobody. i'm going go get a cupcake.
walkonby: hey i hear that data's fitty dollar bills is opening for the joni roach mitchell motels.
azag: so there dude.
speaking of gaga . . . i have always thought that seth should attempt to contact the inner world of gaga and ask her to redeem herself proper and play the "cancelled show" at the club. oh god, how it would forever alter the meaning of "surprise, at the club" and tickets/getting in would be a nightmare. but seth more than likely doesn't listen to me, because i made him pissed when i yelled at him about something so stupid i have forgotten what it was. i'm sure he has not. sorry seth. let's have a handshake when you are bopping to born this way in the club world that is all your own.
Does the Beer List at the club change much? The latest rage for bars is to have a live webcam shot of a sign showing what's available. Maybe we could get a shot of the signage over on tumblr whenever something new comes in....

I'm not sure exactly what their email announcements say as they are written in French, but it appears Air has a new album..I believe they will be touring...Please bring them back to the club por favor? (one of the better acts / shows at 930 ever!)Pretty sure they provided the music for a film to screen at Cannes. I guess they'll be ramping up their appearances and such.
Thank you for Magnetic Fields!
Thank you for Magnetic Fields!
seconded! are you going to pipe in sounds of old ladies shushing over the PA, or just put up passive aggressive signs to stay quiet?
Was probably only a one off but Pussy Galore? (http://www.yolatengo.com/news/yo-la-tengo-2011-hanukkah-diary/)
or how about the Blues Explosion..cannot believe they did not play DC on their last tour (they played Baltimore in April).. given how many times they've played the 930 (Old and new) it was strange..yes, please
This is nice Seth, but i think most people want to know when you're going to have Alabama Shakes back.I would think they'll have their own headlining gig as soon as their album comes out. Very talented band.
Sweet Second Chances
Some of the best parts about last week's three Drive-By Truckers shows were the excellent openers that kicked off each night. All three nights were sold out, so you may have missed out on Lucero opening the Thursday show and J Roddy Walston and The Business opening the Friday show. In a delightful turn of events, both bands will swing by 9:30 Club this April, delivering their punk, country, and blues-fueled rock to us once again. Chances are these tickets won't be around long either, so nab them before you miss this raucous roadshow.

kate bush has relatively new album...how about her seth?
polyphonic spreeplease thank you
you already know this
just want to make sure you remembered
Oh, I hesitated requesting this as I'm unsure if they are suited for the size of the club (might be more of a BC show)...perhaps with another band? Either way, shout out for Winterpills, dedicated to Jaggy. New album and touring will ensue according to them...http://www.winterpills.com

Has anybody even checked to see if Seth is still alive after yesterday's game?
oops.. I actually watched that game.... man, Ravens lost that more than Patriots won it... sad.
Hey Seth Refused is playing NYC on Apr 23rd.....How about some DC action!

Thanks for the Jeff Mangum show tonight. Had a blast, and loved the Lincoln.
I just finished telling my kids about this. It may have been trickery on his part, but it felt like a real, unplanned encore.Thanks for the Jeff Mangum show tonight. Had a blast, and loved the Lincoln.
Seconded. Thank you so much. I hope you get to keep bringing shows to the Lincoln, it is such a great place.
I loved how Jeff came back out after the lights had been up for several minutes just due to people continuing to cheer and refusing to leave. I don't know if he normally does that, but it felt pretty special last night.
According to the setlist.fm setlists, it looks unplanned. I don't see any other second encores.
The Backbar would totally get more biz if you renamed it 'The Barns of 9:30 club'.
Yes, because the real reason Seth doesn't book some acts at the club is because he can't get them to take his calls....
Hey Seth
The Jesus and Mary Chain are playing some US shows in March (in Texas). If they add more dates, a club date would be rockin'
Which of these criteria for "price gouging" are being met by the overpriced soda at 9:30 Club?
And how is a $4 PBR any less egregious than a $4 soda?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging
Price-gouging is often defined in terms of three critieria listed below:
1.Period of Emergency: The majority of laws apply only to price shifts during a time of disaster.
2.Necessary items: Most laws apply exclusively to items which are essential to survival.
3.Price ceilings: Laws limit the maximum price that can be charged for given goods.
Hey Seth,
As long as you don't start charging for water like the Birchmere does, I'm fine with whatever you charge for your soda poison or crappy beer. I realize that those items are completely unnecessary to the concertgoing experience, and laugh at those who do not. If it helps keep the concert ticket prices lower, I urge you to keep up with the "price gouging" on the non-necessities.
Cheers,
James

oh my .. look who has a superiority complex.. its mr brownnose!
Haha. I think I've raised Seth and Thatguy's ire enough in the past to ever be accused of being a Mr. Brownnose to them.
I just call it the way I see it. And in this case I'm with Seth.

The free water is an amazing thing. Never seen that at any other clubs, and it's always appreciated after a long show. Thanks for that.you must not get out much if you've never seen this anywhere else

so that $1.50 really makes a difference to youActually it makes no difference to me at all, I never buy sodas at at shows. It just seems like a fair price for a soda, that's all.
tell me how
You could actually make MORE money if the prices were a little less is my guess. I'll still buy five* drinks at a show whether it's $5 a beer or $8 a beer.
it's not that you really need that $1.50

This. I honestly don't care, I'm not complaining and I love the Club, but it's a supply/demand thing. I'm not an expert but I wouldn't be surprised if charging slightly less encourages people to buy more and increases profit.

One of the first things one learns in marketing and econ is that it is often better to sell more at a smaller margin than less at a higher margin.

apparently we went to different schools. where i studied, those types of generalizations wouldn't get you very far. without specifics (like which market you are after, overhead cost, marginal cost, substitution, state of competition, elasticity of demand, etc) your statement is meaningless.

It all comes back to the value proposition. Seth is (if I may be so bold) not trying to be the "cheapest soda guy in town". If he were, he'd raise the price of other products to subsidize the price of a diet coke. He's created IMHO the best damn club in the universe, where you can see great bands at great prices in an intimate setting with great sound and decent sight lines. The staff is professional, serious and largely unintrusive. Thats' what he's selling. It doesn't appeal to everyone. Maybe the Black Cat is better for you, since their soda is cheaper. My experience there has been that the sound sucks, the lights are too bright and there's too much space, even for a sold out show.
Seth is competing on quality, not on soda price. I think he pulls it off most of the time.
[/soapbox]
I was with you until the "there's too much space during a sold out show" part.
Does that mean that you're not smushed together with strangers? That you can actually stand in a normal posture? Where's the negative in that?listen, I'll take care of the economics here

No, I don't love that part, but it does speak to the "feel" of a sold out show. BC seems cavernous, especially at the back, most of the time. It detracts from the excitement, roar of the crowd, etc.
Part of the genius of 930 is the movable stage, which can be pushed back to create capacity when needed, or to be pushed forward to create more intimacy when a show doesn't sell as well. I'm not sure if there's an industry standard for that, but I've never seen it anywhere but at 930.

afghan whigs please
dearest seth,
with your kind attention, i may be able to un-do one of the biggger fails in my concert-going career. shortly after i first moved to DC, the band mentioned below had a show waaaaaaay out in the boonies at a place called "strathmore" (what's a strathmore?). i waffled, i waited, i waxed on/waxed off, and i didn't make it to the show. by all accounts it was amazing and i've been kicking myself ever since. but it looks like the indirectly-above-mentioned band are touring again. if/when they grace our shores, could you look into bringing them back? vielen dank!

its been FIVE YEARs since the Stooges at the 930.. then they played Pimlico.. FOUR YEARS since then... they've been touring as iggy and the stooges with james williamson and playing Raw Power for years now.. when are we going to get an area show of this? Make it happen! The 930 Stooges show was one of the best I've seen (thank you! That was big) and I think we should get them back in town for Raw Power!

Competition is normal and healthy...gives people variety which can help everyone to appreciate who we are
No problem with the Howard really...sounds like they did a nice job
bring Ween to town! Where'd the cheese go?
at this point its more like "bring Gene Ween...".. cause he's going to tour.. but I always want to see Ween at the club and its been far too long..

Throwing it out there, I'd love to see a decently priced 'Surprise at the Club' with Missy Elliott. She was supposed to put out her new album a bunch of times in the past 2 years, but still hasn't done anything.
Or could you bring Kelis back for a one off?
Per this thread Seth snagged them right before they headed back to the UK (couple yrs ago). Only US venue they played after a festival before heading back. Very appreciated. Also, fun show, crowd. Hope to see them again - you are right the club has the element for them.When Bloc Party decides to add US dates, please bring 'em, please and thanks.
Seconded - They blew the doors off the place on the Intimacy tour and were really good the first time through.. not so much at the DAR show.
at this point its more like "bring Gene Ween...".. cause he's going to tour.. but I always want to see Ween at the club and its been far too long..

well I smoked my way thru the formative years and then, one day, just decided I didn't like it anymore
and never did again
made me paranoid...and anyone who knows me knows I don't need any gas on that fire

Well, they are the perfect concert food.. yummy and easy to eat.. don't even need a plate and can eat with one hand without need for cutlery. I can imagine myself checking out Mark Lanegan with a beer in one hand and an empanada in the other....

Hey Seth.. Can you please bring Future of the Left to DC. They're last two headlining shows were DC9 and RNRH, they deserve a better venue. Maybe U-Hall.
They're doing an (as of now) one-off in New York on June 17th I believe with plenty of room after that, as far as i can tell.
Hope so! I did ask for Garbage. ;D Second time at club after my wish, too.

Its kind of sad but it is almost getting to that. 56 years old and lets see, three surgeries on each knee, four surgeries on my back, two on my right arm, three abdominal surgeries, one crainiotomy, two cranial gamma treatments, multiple eye surgeries (none cosmetic), several broken bones over the years, plus all the normal childhood things. The freakiest for me was when they had to do the steroid injections into my eyeball for bleeding around the optic nerve. Nothing like a hypodermic needle aimed at your eyeball to get you a little nervous. BTW I trust you had a good time at the show as well?

I know it's a huge stretch since they are playing Jammin' Java these days, but Sloan is out doing one of my most favorite albums ever in it's entirely "Twice Removed" and it would be great to see them at the club once again.

This! This! This! This!
And thank you for Omar Souleyman/Dengue Fever. That was fun.Hey Seth.. Can you please bring Future of the Left to DC. They're last two headlining shows were DC9 and RNRH, they deserve a better venue. Maybe U-Hall.
They're doing an (as of now) one-off in New York on June 17th I believe with plenty of room after that, as far as i can tell.
Did we ever get that Afghan Whigs show squared away? ;DThank you ;D
Hey Seth...Umphrey's McGee just announced that they are playing The Fillmore on Halloween this year. They've played 930 every year since 2004, hope this isn't the end. Figure out a way to get them back, do a 3-4 night run, you know they'll pack it.

F-them. They're dead to me. I'll never listen to them again.*
*that's how you back your man
How about the Offspring? New album and plenty of dates open within their upcoming tour (several east coast dates).
Also, Taking Back Sunday is looking to do a 10 year anniversary tour of Tell All Your Friends. Love to see them at the club again.

Hey Seth, thanks for PiL.
Should you get any odd visitors or calls...:
D.C. Resident Orders TV on Amazon, Receives Gun Instead (http://dcist.com/2012/08/dc_resident_orders_tv_amazon_delive.php)
Seth Horvitz, a Northeast D.C. resident, thought he had ordered a new high-definition television a few days ago through Amazon.com from a third-party merchant. When the package arrived yesterday, however, Horvitz opened the oddly shaped box to find something completely different.
A very big gun.
Instead of the flat-panel TV he had bought to enjoy with his wife, who is pregnant, Horvitz opened the long packaging to discover a Sig Sauer SIG716, a high-caliber, semi-automatic assault rifle capable of mowing down, well, just about anything. Its manufacturer, Swiss Arms AG, describes it as "the rifle of choice when you require the power of a larger caliber carbine." Awesome.
Hey Seth.. Jack White is playing some festival in Columbia on October 6th. A surprise at the club on the 5th would be pretty awesome.
Yes, the date's occupied.. but hey, you can bump them to an early show.. ha.

Amazon sells assault rifles? I guess I won't be purchasing from amazon again.
Jack White would not do for a "surprise at the club" as he's played the place a ton of times..Um, I think the headliner of FreeFest doing a show the night before/after the fest would constitute as s surprise........ Surprises don't have to be old or new.... they're just.... surprises....

Man that was simple. Snagged 2 tix to the VFest very quickly. Thanks for making it so easy Seth! You did well.
Haven't they played like less than 10 shows ever? They only play special occasions like Warp anniversary parties and such.
Seth,
Grace Jones is playing Roseland Ballroom in NYC on October 27. How bout a club show?
Maybe I need to ask Live Nation then....if Seth can't deliver.. I really think he can do anything he sets his mind to....
I thought a 930 club show would be perfect for Boards of Canada...15 year anniversary of Music Has a Right to Children .. perform the entire album live... ;D

Never mind, that's exactly where they're playing. THANKS!!nice...
IGGY & THE STOOGES
5th for Iggy.
and I'd like to follow up on my request for Orbital.
Los Lobos at the club would be nice... was leaning to Colossal Head last night... some great great songs...
I can't stomach going to the Birchmere and sitting down for them...
I do remember the 2007 show, which was amazing, didn't exactly set the world on fire ticket wise..

and support the ways gay people are still having their lives ruined everyday in this country . . . instead of some stupid fucking fake marriage bullshit that is trumped by the federal government.
Seth - What comes with the different price-points for the benefit? It sounds like there are regular/Premium/VIP levels ($125/175/250). What's the difference? Thx.

Hey Seth,
Dwight Yoakam recently released the best country album of the year. How about bringing him back to the club? You could even set up some casino tables in the back to make it seem like one of his regular gigs.

didn't he just get arrested a few times for drunk driving and walking into a 7-11 naked? horrible mug shots.
I know all white people look alike. That's why I understand how you could confuse Dwight Yoakam with Randy Travis.Hey Seth,

Pssst....Stone Roses! (that's a no-brainer) and the 1979-lineup of Black Flag (yes, they're actually doing shows). Thanks Seth!who was in the 1979 line-up of black flag? was that guy from the circle jerks their singer?

Black Flag would be cool
do you think henry plays on my team . . . i do.
I thought Ron was all Jesusy now.
I thought Ron was all Jesusy now.
I thought he was living up in Canada (in addition to being all Jesusy).
So who plays bass? No Duke is no good.
And while Rollins may be the crowd favorite I'd rather hear Ron, Dez or Keith sing.
do you think henry plays on my team . . . i do.
If Henry Rollins was in it would be cool. I see they played a bunch of shows at jules loft/eutaw street clubhouse back in the day. I used to go to most of the shows there so I don't know how I missed them. I guess I thought Mr Rollins was an a-hole back then and skipped on that account. About the only big named hardcore/punk band I missed from that era.

Hey Seth...GO RAVENS!!!!!!
If a My Bloody Valentine tour is announced and the Fillmore is listed rather than the club, I will be the saddest panda this side of China. Even sadder than that mother panda at the zoo.
who ever can pay more . . . wins. gee, i wonder who that will be. it is up to the artist to decide; play at place where the fans would rather see you, or take the money and run.
Turbonegro in May?2nd!
If a My Bloody Valentine tour is announced and the Fillmore is listed rather than the club, I will be the saddest panda this side of China. Even sadder than that mother panda at the zoo.
It's an "I don't want to give Live Nation any money so I will not go if they play there" argument.
That is fair enough. I have seen them twice so it would not kill me to miss them if they play the Fillmore this time (if this time ever happens). I will still be a very sad panda, however.
Etymotic filters feature a flat frequency response that allows musicians to hear their performance accurately while providing hearing protection. Etymotic ER-25 Filters provide 25 dB of essentially flat sound reduction from 125 Hz through 8 kHz. Westone recommends the ER-25 filter for situations where the ER-15 does not provide enough hearing protection.Those were recommended by an audiologist after I developed tinnitus a few years ago (took around 6 months to go away). They have made my concert goings a lot better, I dont know how i lived with out them. Now I can do super loud, and I can still Feel the music, hear it perfect, and not go deaf.
I doubt many people are going to see MBV on a whim.
Maybe a friend has an extra ticket, but unless the friend is an ass, they will warn them to use EARPLUGS. Its what they are for.
As for super loud, why not? It definitely hasnt hid the talent of any "loud" band that I have seen. The Vandelles, A Place to Bury Strangers, Ceremony, Screen Vinyl Image, Swans; (just to name a few off of the top of my head) sounded GREAT super loud. Maybe I am a cheater though. I have a pair of the Westone Etymotic ER-25 earplugs. The bring the volume down a bit, protect my hearing, and leave everything sounded clear.

Of course you would.

if you have to wear ear plugs to enjoy a band I would just stay home. reminds me of how bad jesus and mary chain were again. I haven't seen my bloody valentine. I loved them when they first came out. I think their sound is dated now but I might go see them if they came around. But if they play so loud to destroy hearing I will skip.Well then I guess its a good thing you arent a fan of the same kind of music as me. ANY rock show can get too loud. Maybe not a coffee house set, but anything at the 930 Club, Black Cat, Rock and Roll Hotel, MPP, Velvet, and every other rock venue has the ability to get "too loud". No matter the style. I take it your DO wear earplugs to shows?
oh you and your cheating earplugs. earplugs, weak . . . no hearing until the next day, strong.If I dont need them, I leave them out. They dont muffle the sound or anything, they just make it more enjoyable for me in the long term.
Right. It was loud but crisp. More a full body multi-sensory loud if that makes sense.That is exactly why I love loud sets, but with earplugs. I love feeling the music through my soul.

Also why would you contradict yourself in your own reply? You would NOT go to a show that you would need earplugs, but then you say you would go see MBV if they come around, which you will DEFINITELY need earplugs?

Also, Hey Seth, Placebo would be a great show, the next time they tour.
reminds me of how bad jesus and mary chain were again.
uncanny how you're reminded of that every single day on this board by just about anything...and then for some reason you feel you must "remind" everyone else!.. serious obsession not to mention delusion! Its like you need to have the last word but not just once...TEN times! :)
Seth, I'd love another Jon Spencer Blues Explosion show in DC if possible at some point...
You know this reminds me whatever happened to the band Brassy? They were so good and featured Jon Spencer's sister. You know the one with talent in the family.

Postal Service will get something like the Patriot Center I bet. Or maybe DAR. But no club dates. If they're playing Barclays in Brooklyn, I think it's safe to say they can sell a good 5,000 tickets in DC. I still say we need a 5,000 capacity venue that's in the city. Patriot Center would be an awful venue for this show. Too bad there aren't any large-size old ballrooms in DC that could be rehabbed.
Seth, have you ever looked into the old Washington Coliseum? Or is that just a lost cause?

Really they are that big? I wouldn't see them at patriot center. Warner Theater exists which I would think is the type of place you are mentioning. Tower Theater in Philly is a great place to see a show. I think the Lyric would work. 2500 capacity.

1,000,000 copies of their LP sold...they haven't toured in 10 years. Let the hipsters relive sophmore year of 2005. Stick a decent band on the bill and you've got hipster heaven. Yeah, tickets will sell.
Blur and New Order. Do it. Do it.
hey seth, ol' buddy,Hey Seth, thanks for PS...I wasn't worried. ;P Fun show for MPP, but I'll catch 'em at the club hopefully one day for a smaller show (and I can't get to MPP easily). Thanks much for all you/the club do!
thanks for bringing us the postal service. i was afraid we weren't going to get them.
Funny to see that Blur has become such a hot commodity. Saw them at the Black Cat twice, Capitol Ballroom, 9:30 Club...I'm not sure I've ever seen them in the U.S. performing to more than 1500 people. I'm not sure I'd bother if they played the Patriot Center. I still fondly remember the first time I saw them in 1993 with Pulp. Terrific show.
Batillus?Batillus has played Golden West each of the past two years.

Thanks for The Hives show last night. A good time was had by all. However, that sure is a lot of stairs to climb with my broken down knees to have a place to sit (it was still worth the effort).
Would you like seats in front of the stage, grandpa?
Its kind of sad but it is almost getting to that. 56 years old and lets see, three surgeries on each knee, four surgeries on my back, two on my right arm, three abdominal surgeries, one crainiotomy, two cranial gamma treatments, multiple eye surgeries (none cosmetic), several broken bones over the years, plus all the normal childhood things. The freakiest for me was when they had to do the steroid injections into my eyeball for bleeding around the optic nerve. Nothing like a hypodermic needle aimed at your eyeball to get you a little nervous. BTW I trust you had a good time at the show as well?
Order ProcessingExactly. Was just about to buy a pair of tickets for will call until I saw $16 in charges. That's absurd.

oh I see..so any fee is ok by this reasoning? heck i guess they could charge $200 if it was a concert on the west coast as its worth $200, right? Otherwise I'd have to buy a plane ticket to fly out there and get them in person
a limited handling/service fee is fine.... a $10 fee on a $25 ticket is not fine even if it is more "convenient" than driving into DC and picking them up in person.

Well final cost of the ticket is what should influence your decision. 25 ticket with 10 dollar of fees is still less than a 40 dollar ticket with no fees. But when a show is cancelled and they don't give you back the fees that should be illegal. I think everyone would be happier if they just said tickets were a price and that is what you paid. All the extra fees pisses people off and I have backed out of ticket purchases because of high fees, convience charges, print at home fees, processing fees. It is ridiculous and I am sure it hurts the venues. I am sure everyone would just rather everyone see the price was 35 dollars than see the price is 25 dollars and 10 dollar fees. The government should start charging the concert industry with a lot of crimes.

Illegal? They still performed the service for which the fees were charged. If you go to a show and drink six drinks before the show starts and then the show gets cancelled because of a power outage (for example), you don't get a refund for the drinks you had.
I agree. They should roll the "fees" into the face value.
Part of these fees go to the concert act and the venue anyways.. they are not kept by the agent providing the "service" so to say the fees are for a service is just a lie. They are not charging $10 on the Breeders for a "service".. they are simply grabbing some extra cash and - likely, I don't know how IMP does its business- giving some to the promoter (IMP) and maybe even some to the act (Breeders).

I actually get the six drinks i would have consumed. I shouldn't have to pay for a performance that did not occur. The venue is the one who is using the ticketing agency. I did not pick them. If they don't have the performance they need to refund my money. All of my money. They are making money off of me. I will say when I bought tickets at Black Cat for Echo and the Bunnymen and they cancelled they gave me all my money back. So some venues do give you all your money back and others commit fraud.

so you're saying that getting tickets in person is a pain? that's it's a waste of time, and that your time is valuable? so valuable that you'd be willing to pay to not have to do this, to be able to get tickets from the comfort of your own home?
oh I see..so any fee is ok by this reasoning? heck i guess they could charge $200 if it was a concert on the west coast as its worth $200, right? Otherwise I'd have to buy a plane ticket to fly out there and get them in person
a limited handling/service fee is fine.... a $10 fee on a $25 ticket is not fine even if it is more "convenient" than driving into DC and picking them up in person.
Well final cost of the ticket is what should influence your decision. 25 ticket with 10 dollar of fees is still less than a 40 dollar ticket with no fees. But when a show is cancelled and they don't give you back the fees that should be illegal. I think everyone would be happier if they just said tickets were a price and that is what you paid. All the extra fees pisses people off and I have backed out of ticket purchases because of high fees, convience charges, print at home fees, processing fees. It is ridiculous and I am sure it hurts the venues. I am sure everyone would just rather everyone see the price was 35 dollars than see the price is 25 dollars and 10 dollar fees. The government should start charging the concert industry with a lot of crimes.
Illegal? They still performed the service for which the fees were charged. If you go to a show and drink six drinks before the show starts and then the show gets cancelled because of a power outage (for example), you don't get a refund for the drinks you had.
I actually get the six drinks i would have consumed. I shouldn't have to pay for a performance that did not occur. The venue is the one who is using the ticketing agency. I did not pick them. If they don't have the performance they need to refund my money. All of my money. They are making money off of me. I will say when I bought tickets at Black Cat for Echo and the Bunnymen and they cancelled they gave me all my money back. So some venues do give you all your money back and others commit fraud.
You actually were provided a service by the ticket company of processing you order etc. You get the ticket price back which was to pay for the performance you did not get. The ticket agency is the one providing the service to you and they get paid for that service they provided to YOU. So since you didn't pick the DMV as the place to register your car and get your driver's license you should not have to pay for their services, yeah that's great logic.

So now it is illogical to think that when ticketmaster provides the ticketing services they should get paid. Oh how could I ever forget, they are the big bad ugly monster and no one that works there deserves to get paid cause they are working for the evil man. It amazes me that left wing nut job liberals think that they ought to have the government give them everything for free (in other words make someone else pay their way in society), they want a job with pay 3-5 times what their job is worth and not be held accountable for their work production in order to keep their job, and at the same time they want everyone else to work for free so they don't have to pay their way for the crap the government doesn't already give them at someone else's expense. Must be some damn good drugs you people do that's all I can figure. No wonder those folks voted for Bammy, that is his plan for the country in a nutshell. Give the lazy people who have made poor choices in life everything for free and curse anyone who has worked hard and planned for their future. They must be evil to have been so successful and as a penalty they have to give back what they rightfully earned so these lazy poor planners can be paid to vote for him.
Nine Inch Nails are touring in the fall... sounds like they might already have booked the tour, so hopefully either you've already got them or can sneak on in there.
Seth definitely missed this one and they won't be playing anywhere near the mid-Atlantic.Source? I havent seen any dates or locations listed.

I was mocking sweetcell for feeling the need to inform Seth that NIN was touring again. I'm sure Seth has known this for sometime and will please you all. When was the last time he let you all down in regards to an event of this magnitude?
some straight up clown stuff in this thread. let's continue talking about Blur, New Order, and the Stone Roses though.
I'd rather see Peter Hook & the Light perform New Order stuff than watch No Order. It's not New Order without their fundamental ingredient: Peter.
Please get the Stone Roses here. Blur would be cool again too, but the Roses would be so great.

i saw a few youtube videos of Peter Hook performing New Order and some of it is good, some of it is really bad. He sings like a muppet. His voice is better suited for Joy Division songs.
Anyway, Hooky is taking the New Order tour to the States sometime this year, so I would expect another 930 club show since he's seems to enjoy playing here.
I'd rather see New Order even without his bass... which can pretty easily be replicated.

I don't think it can be easily replicated. To me, his bass lines in both New Order and Joy Division are iconic. Bernard Sumner is always so bored performing live anyway. The most entertaining part of seeing New Order was watching Peter Hook.

Hey Seth. Please book Pere Ubu and have 9353 open. Thanks.David Thomas just played Sonic Circuits last September. I heard mixed reviews.
I love Pere Ubu, and David Thomas is an eccentric nutball. I saw him once have a tantrum at the old 9:30 and another time I saw him have a nervous breakdown backstage. If you're going to go see him perform, don't expect a happy fun time.
The Cure would be awesome Seth...
40 songs over 3 and a half hours last night in Buenos Aires...
This isn't a conventional request so much as a question for the room: if Blur were to tour the U.S. this summer or early fall, which venue would suit them best at this point in everyone's opinion? Just in regard to the type of crowd they would draw. The club? Merriweather? Warner Theatre?
^^ Yeah yeah yeahs at sweetlife May 11thIt's not worth the ticket price just to see them Gary Clark Jr and Kendrick Lamar. My only gripe. But if that's what it comes to...

Dave Chappelle would be great.

My guess is QOTSA at the Fillmore if they play a club show here.
Fillmore SS holds 2,000
930 is 1200?
goodness azag . . . thats the best advice youve given all day.I resent that. ;)
Hey Seth,
FLAG is doing a Baltimore gig on Monday, 9/16...any chance for a DC show? Luv ya.
Oh, and as always: Laura Marling, please.I'm always in for a Laura Marling show...I think I asked JJ awhile ago for her...I think they got her one time at Hamilton.(?)
I've seen her at Sixth & I and the club. I believe she also played IOTA at least once.Oh, and as always: Laura Marling, please.I'm always in for a Laura Marling show...I think I asked JJ awhile ago for her...I think they got her one time at Hamilton.(?)
It would be nice to see Savages play the club in September, around the time of their Terminal 5 headlining show (9/12).
When was the last time Beck played D.C.? He seems to play lots of shows here and there, but never here.
does the secret show count?

Oddball Comedy & Curiority Festival will hit 13 cities
Dave Chappelle is making a grand return this summer alongside Flight of the Conchords for the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity touring festival. Presented by Funny or Die and Live Nation, the traveling show will launch in Austin, Texas on August 23 and wrap up in Phoenix, Arizona on September 22, hitting 13 cities in total. As the promo clip above advertises, the fest will feature not one "butt" two stages, plus street performers, freaks, psychics, vendors, and a bunch of comedians.
Among those other billed performers are Demetri Martin and Al Madrigal (The Daily Show), Eric Andre's right hand Hannibal Buress (also Chance the Rapper's pal), Kristen Schaal of 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney (responsible for Stefon), Whitney's Chris D'Elia, Brody Steven, and Jim Jefferies. More have yet to be announced. Chappelle has been famously reclusive since Chappelle's Show went off the air. He's mostly performed impromptu, conversational shows since.
The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival:
August 23 - Austin, TX @ austin360 Amphitheater
August 24 - Houston, TX @ Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
August 25 - Dallas, TX @ Gexa Energy Pavilion

so i take it for the Franz Ferdinand Strathmore show its 58.50 for all tickets for a Thursday night show , the Tower in Philly is 30 for all tickets for a Saturday night show and people who buy tickets for the Tower get the free digital copy of the new album and Strathmore buyers don't (I don't see any mention of it)?
You know I love you Seth but I got to say that is pushing it a bit even for me Seth.. doesn't seem like we're really friends after all! :D
I can't say I'm a fan of Franz Ferdinand, but that seems like a terrible kind of show to see at the Strathmore.
I can't say I'm a fan of Franz Ferdinand, but that seems like a terrible kind of show to see at the Strathmore.
If you can get Travis, can you also get Ocean Colour Scene? New album is very good...
i'm fairly certain that the Strathmore is a lot more expensive to rent vs. the Tower, which may even be owned by the promoter.
If you've got google, it's a free album download anyway.
when I said I knew it would be little more I didn't mean fucking $60... and to add insult no new album download...fuck that.

No Arctic Monkeys show in September? :( They play Philadelphia on the 18th.
Though I s'pose it is conceivable they will headline the FreeFest.
Isn't FreeFest September 5th? This would rule out Vampire Weekend and Queens of the Stone Age.
EDIT: October 5th, rather.
Or or or....VMFF is two days and Flaming Lips is headlining the first night.
Hey Seth-
Next time, could we please have Virgin Mobile Freefest #before# Woof Fest? I don't typically sit on the lawn, but....ewwwwww.

A Silversun Pickups show would be nice. I do not believe they have played a proper D.C. date since the release of their third album, just a truncated set at DC101's Chili Cook-Off.
Shit. :( Slipped right by me.
Lineup sounds nice.
Hey Seth, How about Death?
http://abandcalleddeath.com/
Maybe a showing of the documentary and/or the band perform?
930, even U Hall or Lincoln? (they show DC listed, but it's really Silver Spring...Baltimore later this fall) Would be cool to see films at 930 -- haven't seen any since the 930 doc.
Thanks!

Just a random note to Seth that might make him smile.
Recently saw two stellar shows at the Fillmore (I know BOO!)....(also both of these should have been at the 9:30!!)
The specials...in the middle of the set Terry is speaking to the crowd and commented on the giant TV's behind the bar "what with these TV's saying : Let's be more than Friends" (Live nation's obvious dig at the FWB program). And he was like "that makes me feel a little uncomfortable, not sure I want to be more than Friends with a TV"
Frank Turner - in the middle of Wessex Boy (I think) there is a line about your hometown club and he name dropped the 930 club (and not the Fillmore :o )
well I think for the record we should clarify we went to both shows on the house....(thanks Vas for the Turner...)
the craziest thing about turner was they only had bud light and it cost $7... i will never complain about beer selection anywhere again!
we have worked on many dates here as part of tours, but then she ends up not doing the tours
Dibs on the free beerifwhile Seth stiffs you.

Oh, and Seth should get in on this action if he can: http://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=806637 I figure she could at least sell out two nights at the club?

Another great festival, Seth. Thank you for leading such a well planned event. I had fun at the two other stages until just before Black Joe Lewis, and moved to the Pavilion for the night about 5 minutes before the rain. I didn't get wet until walking in the little sprinkles on the way out. Loved MGMT, The Avett's, and Vampire Weekend, and had fun sampling a bunch of others.
What a great way to end the summer. Thanks.

Hey Seth, thanks for another Dr. Dog 9:30 Club booking. Even if it's six months away.Eat about three pounds of cheese and go sit on the toilet the next day and squeeze it out. Give yourself your own little Tom Waits concert.Tom Waits
No, he's not touring. Just wanted to put it on here.

I don't like Tom Waits because I have no patience for people who cannot sing. If you can't sing learn how to play an instrument and let someone else do the singing.
+4+2The Hives are touring with Pink again in December, but they're doing some club dates as well. Any chance you can nab them for a DC pre-Christmas show?

Do it Seth!

Yes, this would be wonderful.
It's not April 1 so I am slightly confused.
Edit: I am no longer confused. He's booked to play the Verizon Center earlier in the evening so it looks like a repeat of several years ago where it was his standard big venue and then the not so secret show at the club. Please let there be a presale for board members only for the club date! Please Seth!Surprise at the Club!

Sharon Jones and the Dapkings!!!!

My biggest fantasy is if QOTSA are playing bigger shows, then put them with Clutch, Arctic Monkeys and Peaches at the Verizon Center. Talk about a dream bill.
At this point, if QOTSA actually play a DC show I predict DFA1979 will fold in upon himself forming a black hole that destroys all civilization.It's been 8 years! Let me have this!
Any chance for a Phosphorescent show around the time of their NYC-area shows in the middle of December?
They have only done one area show since their new record, which was right after it came out in March at the RnR Hotel (which sold out). I bet they would be a decent draw given that they haven't been back since then.
And I can only assume if he's that excited for QOTSA, a Smashing Pumpkins concert would cause him to full on lose his mind since he's apparently such a big fan he has two of their song titles in his name.

I wonder if he was around for the show these two played together in 1999.
I saw 5 shows on that tour: Detroit (first show with Chamberlain back), Cincinatti, NYC, DC, Pittsburg. My first show at 9:30 incidentally. The Arising! tour was really awesome for alot of reasons, one being the original SP lineup for what was basically their last 9 shows, but also all the new songs that turned up on the Machina records. That material was so much better raw and not overly produced like on the records.And I can only assume if he's that excited for QOTSA, a Smashing Pumpkins concert would cause him to full on lose his mind since he's apparently such a big fan he has two of their song titles in his name.

That tour is funny among SP fans in that QOTSA were pretty much boo'ed off the stage at the majority of that shows and Josh was double middle-fingering the fans a couple of nights, but 2 years later everyone name dropped QOTSA and that they saw them before anyone else.
I still have an autographed CD of that lineup of QOTSA somewhere. I thought they were great even not knowing any of their material walking in.
Shit I had no idea they released a live EP from that. Totally have to to pick that up!I saw 5 shows on that tour: Detroit (first show with Chamberlain back), Cincinatti, NYC, DC, Pittsburg.

Funny, I'm a HUGE QOTSA fan (duh) but I wasn't overly impressed with them. I thought they were good but not really fully formed. But when I saw them a few years later, it was just ridiculous how much they'd evolved. Even now, the iTunes Festival live EP they just released blows me away. The version of "In the Fade" they do is probably my favorite. And that was recorded merely weeks ago. They have had a truly great run for the last decade.
Let's hope Seth doesn't announce Dead Milkmen and QOSTA shows on the same day, I fear half of the forum members will explode that day.
Luscious JacksonGod, yes, please, yes!
Riff Raff please. His only area show was Rock the Bells, and of course it was cancelled...Saw Riff Raff this and last year in Philly and he got booed off the stage both times. I like him! But, it was just awful live. Not to mention he was late and cut his set short...
Also Placebo and Polyphonic Spree.
i listened to jay z live. awful. i listened to kanye live. awful. who rap wise, is not awful live?Ludacris was/is very, very awesome live. Wu Tang Clan...
and polyphonic has to play smaller places now. i dont think they could even sell out nine thirty.

Still holding out hope for Missy Elliott. On a different level, if Kelis or Ciara were booked, I wouldn't complain.
I was just making suggestions of artists that I want to see. Seth doesnt only book the 930 Club. Also a lot of hip hop is good live. Im not going to run through the list of hip hop artists I consider good live in the Hey Seth thread, but it isnt small.
Arctic Monkeys (perhaps on February 5th between Richmond and Boston?), please.
Height with Friends?I dig them. I havent seem them (or Height solo) live yet so I cant comment that they are good live. I hope to remedy this at some point in the near future, while they are still playing songs from http://heightwithfriends.bandcamp.com/album/versus-dynamic-sounds
Yes! M.I.A. at the Club would be amazing! Haven't seen her since Sonar a few years back.Height with Friends?I dig them.

Also, would love to catch M.I.A. in a club setting (I have seen her once, only at a V Fest).
I would enjoy seeing Black Star Riders (new band with several surviving members of Thin Lizzy) at the club if/when they tour the U.S.

what else do you need to know
it's German & electronicWell, "120v or 230v?" seems pretty important to know if we're talking German & electronic...
what else do you need to know
all original pumpkins members . . . holy crap!Like I said, just rumors now about the Pumpkins... (and my friend only mentioned what was going on with new members, and Jimmy and James... not sure how D'Arcy fits in it).
and double yes to polyphonic, they need to make a return to the club

As for the Spree, yes. The club show in 2007 is one of my favorite live music experiences from one of my top five all time favorite bands. The show at Sixth and I (first one)? I was underwhelmed to say the least, and even skipped the next time they played that venue. Sixth and I was GREAT to see Rachel Maddow talk, not so much for rock shows (in my opinion, I know plenty of people love the venue).
that surprize show they did at the club years back, supporting zeitgeist . . . still sticks out as one of their best ive seen.That was probably the best show I saw on that tour, although the Asheville residency shows were pretty great too. The crazy thing about the 930 show was even though they played for like 3:15-3:30, they left like 7 songs on the setlist unplayed.
I was at that show. I think I have a little flag that they handed out if I am not mistaken.Yeah, I met you at that. I still have the shirts they gave to those of us in the fake protest thing. You and I are all over the If All Goes Wrong DVD from that show.
no you didnt. you didnt like it all. so there.
The Hold Steady is going to be NY/PA in early Feb

Any chance you buy the contract for Pizza Underground away from Black Cat and move it to the club or DAR? Lots of people are freaking out that they got shut out for tickets, seems like a win-win.

Well people have no excuses. They had several days to get tickets and didn't. They need to stfu already.

Strathmore has a capacity of around 800 more people than the 930 Club (I found out after doing a quick internet search). With tickets around $55, that is over $40,000 more money.
I had a feeling that Strathmore wouldn't be the best place to see Pixies (I figured driving a few hours round-trip would be worth it for the experience of seeing them in a rock club, and am glad I did).
Anyways, Slowdive!

couldn't that $40,000 easily be covered by the soda beverage markup at 9:30?
Why not bring The Pixies into the city, ideally 930?
Am I the only one who has had perfectly acceptable concert experiences there?No, you're not.
Seth if you're reading I will take Strathmore over DAR any day of the week..even if it costs more.
the sound is excellent at Strathmore and awful at DAR..the sight lines are excellent at Strathmore and awful at DAR
anyhow, thank for all the great show you guy book..it is very much appreciated.

Queens of the Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails at Merriweather? Pretty please?If this happens again, I will do the same thing I did when that was at Verizon - Go and look at merch while QOTSA play. I really don't get the love for this band... It takes all kinds I suppose.

I'm glad some folks don't get QOTSA. They're one of those bands I want to hog to myself. I'm glad they're selling records and a lot of concert tickets, but I enjoy not having to fight a ton of other people for tickets to their shows too. That being said, I long for the days when I could see them at the 9:30, and methinks those days are gone.According to this board, there are plenty of people to fight over tickets with. Just not me. But if it is a nine inch nails/QOTSA show, I will be getting tickets for nin.
If I remember correctly, tickets for their last 930 show went rather fast... I'd love to see a multiple night run at the club. Their show at The National was a friggin blast. They are so sharp in concert. I've heard rumors that they'll be in Baltimore/Maryland in the Summer... So we'll see.Queens of the Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails at Merriweather?

The cool festival acts of the summer (since there is no (edit: decent) festival in the area):Lee has come to the club before by himself so it shouldn't be too hard.

- Caetano Veloso (probably he would play in a theater, but it would be nice at the club too).
and too small for the club, but I'm not sure how booking is done
- Lee Ranaldo

While I don't care for QotSA, please no pre-, pre-pre- and pre-pre-pre sales. For shows at Verizon or similar, last time I checked there was up to 12 different pre-sales!! and the tickets I got on the official day of sale, at noon, were literally the last row. For the Nick Cave shows this summer, my observation is that literally half of the venue was sold before the "official" sale. Then why not sell all tickets at the "pre-sale" and call it a "sale"?
If it is the first two rows for the biggest fans, OK, but NOT half of the venue.

why not? there are no rules about a presale. i dunno, but seth seems to know a thing or two about running a concert production company and getting people to buy his tickets. i say we let seth do as he has done up until now ;D

that could be all that was available, or you had bad ticket mojo that day. just because that's what you got doesn't mean that's all that was available to the public.For the Nick Cave shows this summer, my observation is that literally half of the venue was sold before the "official" sale. Then why not sell all tickets at the "pre-sale" and call it a "sale"?
because then it wouldn't be a pre-sale. pre-sale = who can get in on it is somehow limited (need a password, info sent only to a certain mailing list, etc). it has nothing to do with what quantity of tickets are sold.If it is the first two rows for the biggest fans, OK, but NOT half of the venue.

Is there really a difference between heating an oven and pre-heating an oven? Why don't we just call it heating the oven?
I'm not sure this is a good promotion technique(?)
Nick Cave made it possible through his own presales for more plugged in/harder core fans to get really good sets.. I think its great... in a way the IMP presals do the same..they favor boardies bigtime
the verizon shows with 12 presales are ridiculous but is not seth or IMP but the venue, the credit card sponsor, etc etc..

Queens at Merriweather please! Their own show, not freefest.They just sent out an email with all their dates. DC wasn't listed on there.

I'm not a betting man, but I'm thinking Merriweather, and the dates available for them don't correspond with Freefest (that I can tell). They seem to only release dates a handful at a time.
When is Freefest?
I guess Merriweather makes sense. I mean... if Animal Collective can... I think it would be an awesome show.

I'm not a betting man, but I'm thinking Merriweather, and the dates available for them don't correspond with Freefest (that I can tell). They seem to only release dates a handful at a time.
How about a kids stage at freefest like they have at Lollapalooza and Newport Folk Festival?
i'm genuinely intrigued by the new wave of parenthood these days. more and more do i hear people calling for all ages at bars/breweries, festivals to have kids areas, etc.. i get it, your selfish, hobby-filled life is essentially over once you crap out a kid or two. let's push the norms a little bit and be a little bit more accommodating to everyone so we don't have to totally suffer. my own selfish, hobby-filled life screams "keep your kid away from me!", but a part of me realizes i'll be there someday too. and i'll still want to have a beer, or see a show, or go to the gym, or do whatever else it is that society says you shouldn't be doing when your child is around.
I'm not looking for any of those things, just kid friendly events and places... I'm not expecting or asking nor wanting anything to be "all ages."

You better hope people don't start complaining about kids who want to talk at the club!

Nah... not one of those people that think kids should belong anywhere. We need more old people like atomic to have kids so they just want to stay home and sit on the couch with them.
I am an active person.
Also the anti-dog thing either.
I am an active person.
Oh! I didn't realize that! What was your finish time for your last marathon?Also the anti-dog thing either.
Well, you see, dogs are ridiculous and they suck.
When I was 16 I really hated that I couldn't get into some shows, although in principle only, since I found out it was rather easy to get in (Canada). To this day, I hate when I see a show that is 18+ or 21+ (which is totally ridiculous in my opinion, but I'm new here).
You better hope people don't start complaining about kids who want to talk at the club!
Wait what about all the adults that talk the entire show? You shouldn't bring your baby to the club but I don't see anything wrong with an 11 year old going to shows. When I fostered I brought a 11 year old kid with me to shows and he was always well behaved which is more than I can say for 90 percent of the people attending at the 930 club.

Sometimes people just want to do those things but be in the company of their child too.

I'm sorry, but I don't think small children should be taken to shows. If you want to take your 9 year old, and give them earplugs to protect their hearing, then fine. But, little kids have no business running around festivals like crazy. (I realize some festivals cater to those with kids and that's fine, but I"m talking about Coachella or things like that).
There just are some places where kids shouldn't be allowed. And people should know better than to take them there.

I went to the Petit Louis Bistro's little coffee shop a few weeks ago and it was like an f'ing daycare. Kids running around all over the place, screaming, and the mother's just standing over them like so proud they had procreated these little brats. Do they have every right to buy a 2 year old a 12 dollar sandwich they will 1/2 eat? Yes. But, I just wanted some peace and quiet. Can't these people go to Panera Bread?
*shakes cane*

I would go if they just played Bandwagonesque. I was going to go see them when they played Hammerjacks back in the day but I only had 12 bucks and the show was advertised as that but when I got there they said there was a service charge. Do they have all the original members?
American Football would also be someone I'd drive to 930 for regardless of day of the week.+1

Seth, thank a thousand times over for finally get Queens of the Stone Age to do a show in the area. I knew you'd make good, but to see a headlining QOTSA show is way better than having them perform at any festival. I've seen them do both on this tour, and the headlining show is the way it's really meant to be seen.THANK YOU SETH!!!!!!!
Thank you for Queens. Thank you thank you thank you!
on their facebook page.
Thank you for Queens. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for Queens. Thank you thank you thank you!
For a second I thought there was a band called the Queens. Sounded pretty interesting than I realized you meant Queens of the Stone Age. Why can't people spell the entire band name? So annoying.

I cannot imagine your vitriol if you had gone to the show expecting a different band.
The Cure is going to be back in our part of the world in September doing Riot Fest shows. Any chance they'd show up here? A late September MPP show would be dreamy.
NYC: Sep 25 & 26: Caetano Veloso
Can we bring him closer, or should I buy tickets for NYC?
King Crimson!
Sleep is playing some east coast dates like Philly. They were easily the biggest draw of Maryland Death Fest last year. Hey seth?This.
Belle and Sebastian are playing ACL in October... jus' sayin'.I already tried this like a month ago. No dice... so far!
They're also in Mexico in October so probably a full tour will be announced soon...I'm hoping and praying Seth is just waiting two weeks to Weblebrity Is A Bitch Day to announce it!!
Bob Dylan is playing three dates at the Paramount in Seattle in October...
How about a few shows at the Lincoln or Strathmore?

Saw you in the audience at QUEEN+ADAM LAMBERT. Question: how often do you get a chance (or the desire) to actually watch a show start-to-finish, especially seated with the crowd?
Great seats btw! Get lucky via Craigslist?!?

There is such a thing as a public record. It is pretty well known.
Remember 10,000 Maniacs? The album In My Tribe originally contained a cover of Cat Stevens' "Peace Train".... subsequently Cat/Yusuf spoke such hatred they took it off the record...
Luna are resurfacing for some reunion shows in Spain. Hey Seth...
Hey Seth - Patti Smith is playing shows to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Horses." That would be a swell show to see.

saw him once opening for Bob at Merriweather...solo acoustic
twice at the Warner Theatre... one time backed by a new "Americana"ish band full of serious heavy hitters including Jerry Douglas on dobro (maybe the world's best) and Jim Lauderdale on harmonies (maybe the world's best)..... another time backed by two of the three Attractions (Steve Nieve on keys and Pete Thomas on drums..)and a guy named Farquar on bass.. I really wish Bruce had been there cause those bass lines on the early records are amazing.......this was the Spin the Wheel Show...
All three times he was amazing.... he's not to be missed if one can afford it.....
After his second show at the Warner I met him by his tour bus and he signed my copy of This Year's Model (my favorite album of his).......
Of course the club would be really cool but I'm sure the kind of beans he's asking for make that rather difficult.. he's also played Wolftrap...

twice at the Warner Theatre... one time backed by a new "Americana"ish band full of serious heavy hitters including Jerry Douglas on dobro (maybe the world's best) and Jim Lauderdale on harmonies (maybe the world's best)..... another time backed by two of the three Attractions (Steve Nieve on keys and Pete Thomas on drums..)and a guy named Farquar on bass.. I really wish Bruce had been there cause those bass lines on the early records are amazing.......this was the Spin the Wheel Show...
All three times he was amazing.... he's not to be missed if one can afford it.....
After his second show at the Warner I met him by his tour bus and he signed my copy of This Year's Model (my favorite album of his).......
Of course the club would be really cool but I'm sure the kind of beans he's asking for make that rather difficult.. he's also played Wolftrap...
Bob who?

ok, I know we ask for way too much.
but I can't stress how great it would be if you could get The Replacements here in the DC area
The Replacements
Hey Seth
Underworld just announced a gig in LA in June, performing Dubnobasswithmyheadman for it's anniversary.
What can we do to make this show come here?? Please??

Seth must be fascinated by this...I can't speak for BeetsNotBeats, but Seth PMed me an invited to an orgy at the club. What do you think those "Private Events" are that you see listed from time to time?

I see that the 9:30 realizes that some folks can't make it to the Punch Bros show tonight, and that Saturday tickets will be accepted on Sunday. I don't have a horse in this race, but I must say, that is a very honorable thing to do. Though it does not affect me at all, I appreciate the fact that the club is making this accommodation.Seth, I would like to piggy back on this comment as I was the benefactor of this policy

Hey Seth, I think a really cool show would be Blur...I'd go to MPP for that one. I heard a rumor they're headlining Lollapalooza. Not sure that's true, but I figured I'd share it and see if you can work your magic. You're the best.I concur. I will go to absolutely anywhere in the area for Blur. Would love it at 9:30 but I'll even break my no Jiffy Lube rule for a (completely ridiculous, hypothetical) Blur show there.

Thank you!
He played Merriweather so so many times too...
TV on the Radio. I can't believe DC, Philly and New York are not on their tour.
So...apparently Prince is going to start playing US cities starting mid-March...yeah.
sounds like a Verizon or lube show
sounds like a Verizon or lube show
Prince has seemingly been avoiding DC for years which is so weird as this is Chocolate City...
Maybe 10-15 years ago he played a low key gig at Nation! That would have been the one to check out...
I think he has played Verizon like one time at least..but its been a while.. .closest he's gotten in past few years is North Carolina
Prince is one strange cat but would do very well in DC....
I think he has played Verizon like one time at least..
I love Prince as much as the next white guy, but what the hell has he done lately that gives him god-like status?
Couldn't have been any smoother. ;D ;D ;DTo be fair, most of the people who would like to attend were probably stoned off their ass.

So, I'm pretty sure their have been 1 or 2 requests for this
But....
but Peter Hook and the light will be in North Carolina May 1st and 2nd and no dates until the 16th when they head to the Eurorock Festival in Neerpelt (?!)
Was such a good show at the club
there have been 8 requests...unfortunately they've all been by bearman....:D

The Prodigy.The show they did at Nation in support of their Greatest Hits LP was one of my favorite shows all time. Last time I ever went to Nation, too, I think.
Their new LP is top notch, here's hoping for a Stateside tour. Any chance you can help?
all the dates have been announced.If we followed this logical precept, this thread would be one-third of its size. Hutch is still convinced the Replacements will play a second DC show after their Philly show because "Seth."
you don't get any fucking more
Smashing Pumpkins/Marilyn Manson co-headlining tour somewhere near DC?
I have no idea where that'd fit in the current tour itinerary but make that happen.

So, just like last year, the Phish presale password has been plastered all over every discussion board. Can we please do a fwb presale? And make it so you need 100 points? It would really help us locals get good seats.

hasn't it been too long since NoMeansNo played the area? i miss them.
Wait. Lyle Lovett and John hiatt?!?
so awesome about Ride! thanks Seth!
I told seth a long time ago that if faith no more and l7 played the club . . . I would get married inside the 930. faith no more went to merriweather, but for l7, the offer could be put back into place.
desperate to see l7 in a killer club setting, like the 930, instead of some shit hole, like the black cat? yes, why, yes, I, am, desper,ate.
quit, trying to ruin my Buttering up skills, of seth.

^sounds like a better question for FAQFair enough.
Hey Seth, I see the Hum show is listed as "Failure & Hum". Is this a co-headline where both bands play a full set or will Hum be playing an opener-length set? I will be buying tickets regardless, just wondering. Thanks.

EDIT: 9/18 @ Slims with MINERAL if you're also a fan.
They do reunions every few summers. Usually just one-off shows near Chicago. They appear to actually be looking to returning to actual "touring" for the first time this year though.Yep. (Although I prefer Downward Is Heavenward.)

Seth, think you can get Blur to come any closer than this?
10-23 New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden
last time they played here was at the 9:30.One of my top 5 concerts all-time. Then again, I absolutely love Think Tank.

Yes they did, Popscene was a total treat. I think they closed the mainset with The Universal (one of my two favorite Blur songs) and the encore with This Is A Low (my other favorite Blur song).last time they played here was at the 9:30.One of my top 5 concerts all-time. Then again, I absolutely love Think Tank.
The best Blur shows I saw were with Pulp in 1994, at the Capitol Ballroom in 1996, and then the 9:30 show. That was definitely a special night. And they played a lot of old stuff besides the Think Tank material. They even did "Popscene" and "For Tomorrow".

Seth, thanks for Death Cab. Really solid turnout, great set, and a lovely late summer evening. I brought 2 friends to Merriweather who always avoid bigger venues because of the hassles associated with them, and they thought it was a fantastic place to see a show. We had a great time.

Can I request F.F.S. again but at the club this time? It was a heck of a show last night with much booging in the seats.
On Luna's setlist tonight they printed "9:30 CLUB, BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD". High praise considering the band has been touring the US, Europe and Australia/New Zealand this year.

would radiohead ever do a stadium tour, and if not, why not?I can't imagine them selling them out in America. I mean, Taylor Swift doesn't play football stadiums. U2, McCartney, Stones are really the only bands I can think of off-hand who can sell out 60,000+ tickets city to city. There's a gaping divide between selling out Merriweather (lawn and all) and actually filling a football stadium.
then there is the anti-commercial thing. not sure how that would work at big corporate stadiums where advertising is omnipresent.

yeay, let's be absolutist, black or white only!
no, they can't avoid playing venues that have corporate names. however, they do make those venues cover up signs, turn off lighted advertising, etc. i don't think you can successfully do that at a football stadium. those things are build out of ads.
Radiohead is inherently evil. Here's the proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex9cAbzGiN0TAN: Anyone see how South Park absolutely ripped into the concept of fat shaming last night? I hate South Park but I heard about the episode and made a point to watch it: it was excellent. Fat advocates really are scum.

in fact i did look at the other dates on the tour. you've cherry-picked 5 outta 66 (http://www.setlist.fm/search?page=2&query=artist:%28Radiohead%29+tour:%28In+Rainbows%29) (7.6% of venues). perhaps you need a primer on what constitutes a trend.
someone tries to incorporate an ideal into their plan, can't be 100% successful, so the entire plan is null and void. got it.
Actually, I only looked at the 21 US dates and even then, only verified a handful.
Not sure about public transit for the Texas and southeast shows, but I bet a few of them are also suburban sheds without public transit access.
I'm sorry that snark is my false god.
at least we all agree that all of their recent albums are pure garbage. And by recent I mean everything after OK Computer.What? I'll call Amnesiac and King Of Limbs mostly crap but Kid A and In Rainbows were really good, imo.
im, so glad I started this.I know...Seth must love when we blather on and on in this thread about nothing related to 'hey seth'
I picked the California shows because you can't get anywhere without a car in California

Raffi please!!! he has a new album coming out.....
I think he'd be a great Lincoln Theatre show.. of course a club show would be ideal...
I am serious.
Stone Roses just announced shows for next summer overseas, are they casting a net to play any shows on this side of the pond?

I've always wondered what a roster spot advantage it would be if a kicker could also serve as the teams punter in the NFL.

Well, unfortunately Michigan does not add ethnicity or religion to our official roster so I'm not 100% on who is Jewish, and I can certainly see you and I debating "that guy is blond," "no he is not he has light brown hair!" but offhand just who I can remember without actually reviewing the dress list:I was referring to "It's Towson" in the sense it has a higher than average Jewish population, not that playing for Towson is crappy football.A blond Jewish football player.

Michigan and Miami both have a higher percentage of Jewish students than Towson. How are they doing for blond Jewish football players? Also, looking at the names on Towson roster, I'm thinking he's pretty unique for Towson. ;D

Seth, any chance of having the Smithereens (and friends) in for a benefit for the band? Pat has had surgery and can't play the guitar and Jimmy's wife just passed from cancer.

Just saw them at Rams Head and they were great.Seth, any chance of having the Smithereens (and friends) in for a benefit for the band?

geezus Seth what is it going to take to get Ace to the 930 Club??

Thank you Seth for ACE FREHLEY the greatest guitar player to grace the 930 stage since maybe Chuck Berry (I can't be too thankful here publicly as people will make fun of me for my love of Ace or you but you know I know...)

whoa MUDCRUTCH! Nice get!
this will be special.. very much looking forward to it..
has all the trappings of a "Surprise at the Club!" show
I don't understand the question.
So you're all in for $255?
So is there any guarantee the set will mainly be Heartbreakers songs with a few Mudcrunch songs sprinkled in, or is there danger than Tom will go full on Mudcrunch?
How do those ticket prices compare to Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Johnny Cash tickets at the Club? I know Cash was much, much cheaper...but that was many years ago so apples to oranges.
And as much as I love American Girl (the song), I still don't think he's in the same category as those other three, certainly not if he's heavy on Mudcrunch material.
$255 must be a VIP / meet and greet / soundcheck thing, or some combination.
Paul Simon was $75 (?). I think Lou Reed was $45, but that was a while back.
I'm guessing the show will be mostly Mudhoney with a few TPH hits.
.. I stopped going to Petty shows cause I dont' need to hear them and I dont' go out of my way to go to Nissan.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of their first album and following the success of their sold-out Southern California run, She Wants Revenge are continuing their reunion tour and taking the show to select nationwide cities.
After a nearly four-year hiatus, Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin (along with original members, Scott Ellis and Thomas Froggatt) are playing their 2006 self-titled debut album in its entirety in what promises to be a show that highlights the dark, dancey fun which made audiences fall for them in the first place.

Sounds like she's only doing NYC and LA...that's it. Lame. Press release clear that they're the only North American dates this year. Plus she's got a killer ensemble of musicians. Not fair.

I thought that show was so boring if you're talking about the one around when Fundamental came out..it must be obvious mileage varies....Neil Tennant singing monotone while Chris Lowe didn't move the entire time and stood in front of a small keyboard..yes, they had costumes but that was about it...
I'm a huge PSB fan going back to the beginning but after that I just don't want to see them again....the music is absolutely not live! its really like karaoke...
MISFITS!!!!!!!!!Yes, this.

It would be awesome if they brought the band Jawbreaker Reuinion, as their opening support.

hey seth,
the tragically hip are going on tour, and there is a chance this will be their last one. any chance we can have a date?
edit: they announced dates this morning, looks like it's Canada only... well, if they consider coming this way, please book 'em.
An Important Message From The Band (https://www.facebook.com/theTragicallyHip/posts/10153632056502816):
Hello friends. We have some very tough news to share with you today, and we wish it wasn?t so.
A few months ago, in December, Gord Downie was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
Since then, obviously, he?s endured a lot of difficult times, and he has been fighting hard. In privacy along with his family, and through all of this, we've been standing by him.
So after 30-some years together as The Tragically Hip, thousands of shows, and hundreds of tours?
We?ve decided to do another one.
This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us.
What we in The Hip receive, each time we play together, is a connection; with each other; with music and it?s magic; and during the shows, a special connection with all of you, our incredible fans.
So, we?re going to dig deep, and try to make this our best tour yet.
We hope you can come out and join us this summer - details and dates will be coming this week.
And we sincerely thank all of you, for your continued love and support,
Paul, GordD, Johnny, Rob, GordS
edit: they announced dates this morning, looks like it's Canada only... well, if they consider coming this way, please book 'em.

Underworld.
awesome show at the club in the late 90s... did you go killsally?I did not live in the area in the 1990s.
I mean the fans get to pick who they want to see in the game... that is all it is.... a game where the players - with a few notable exceptions- are picked by the fans..I second the recommendation to have Bryce Harper play the club but only if his set list is heavy with readings from Mockingbird and light on watchmen.
if it was just down to stats there would be no point to people voting....

I would go just for a chance to see Killsally at the show...Nope. I will avoid you like I do at all shows that we are both attending.
I try that too...but he's usually my ride, so gets awkward ;DI would go just for a chance to see Killsally at the show...Nope. I will avoid you like I do at all shows that we are both attending.

Thank you for Lush. So wonderful to see them again.I wish I had seen you were going as you're one of the few regulars I've not met (my list of "I don't am any to associate with this person" people aside).

I had never seen them before and second that it was a great show. Perfect crowd amount to feel full yet not uncomfortable.
Between television, lush, and teenage Fanclub I will be at 9:30 the most times in a relatively short period that I have probably in five years. I must be having a midlife crisis or something.

i have used it everyday for more than 20 years. it is a wonderful drug, but it does not take away the pain, of strobe lights. or roller coasters. or thinking too long about how, sometimes the supernatural(s) speak to you in your dreams.

My boy Sturgill just posted this quote with a link to the article:Gonna miss obama....
?There is only one way to stop the scalping industry, and that?s to make it illegal,? said Seth Hurwitz, an independent concert promoter and the owner of the 9:30 Club in Washington. ?Anything else is just Whac-a-Mole, and grandstanding by politicians.?

Well said.
Hi Seth, happy new year. AIR are coming stateside for a gig: http://consequenceofsound.net/2017/01/governors-ball-reveals-2017-lineup-tool-chance-the-rapper-phoenix-childish-gambino-to-headline/Seconded!!
Any chance you could coax them to do a performance in DC? It's been 7 years since they last did a DC show. This was done last year. They are still phenomenal live.

The Prodigy is one of the best live shows on the planet.Agreed. Their show at Nation shortly before it closed when they were doing a set supporting their Greatest Hits LP is one of my top 10 shows all time.
Hi Seth,best place to ask ... Friends@930.com
Can I use my FWB points for a ticket to The National show on the 19th? If not, will any of those be available for us?
Thanks.

Last time they were in town they played the 930 club... or the time before that.Oh, fair enough. Last time times through RVA they played a 200 person venue and a 400 person venue. Obviously different size markets are different, etc.

hey congrats on ANTHEM! Super-exciting.. finally you done it! DC will have a nice mid-size venue!!! I'm glad you heard my pleas over the years (sorry if it grew a bit tiresome)...
it would seem that missy Elliot is ready to perhaps make 2017 the return of her music. I wonder, where she would play in DC, if she were to play the city?BEN'S CHILI BOWL
I did think the Lincoln would be a nice location, because that place is pretty darn cool. you know, I still have not eaten there. I am not sure why. I always think I am going to regret eating all the stuff I know I would eat there, about an hour later, on the way home or back to the room.Sounds like you've figured out where you're having dinner before the Flaming Lips!
I thought you had reservations for us at Table (http://tabledc.com/).

DJ Julian would of course head the radio version of "Julian's America" (This is one I think we could syndicate nationally)..of course he will need an entire team of staff to support himI would be calling it "This Julian's American Life". Shots fired, Ira Glass, shots fired.
I volunteer to spearhead this project of tentatively named Radio Hutch.... with some seed capital and strong relations with IMP I think we could deliver a robust alternative to our current airwaves...some DJs under consideration could be
DJ Yada to lead "The Brown Show".. jam band focused... latter era Phish.. Jerry singing right before he croaked etc..the "browner" the better... think 38 minute poopship destroyer..
DJ Julian would of course head the radio version of "Julian's America" (This is one I think we could syndicate nationally)..of course he will need an entire team of staff to support him
DJ Walkie on his return will lead a show about cats and gays...its time slot will vary and it will move around and take unexpected hiatuses just to keep the audience on its toes and wanting more
DJ Sidehatch will oversee a show about has been punk/hardcore acts with guest Bob72 and weekly calls to Rollins.. Ian MacKaye will also chime in ocassionally with stories of Dischord revelry..there will be a lot of talk about the good old days skateboarding etc
DJ Kubacheck will take the graveyard slot and play 90s alternative rock (Luna, Smithereens, Feelies,etc)
DJ Relaxer will host a prime time show about sex in the modern age (a sort of Dan Savage for the straight world)
DJ Seth will host twin shows on Saturday nights "Gambler's Den and "The Ravens Show"..
DJ Kettlebug will host a health show focused on hearing aids and "The O's Hour"
DJ Bearman will handle Britpop delving into his boundless collection to play deep cuts from the likes of popular acts like Carter USM...
DJ James Ford will take a look at the long dead alternative country genre while also hosting a show on personal finance and other life coaching matters...
other DJs in the lineup to be announced soon.. a strong effort will be made to recruit DJ Killsally to host "The Hobo Rock Hour" wherein he will be on location at different hobo rock venues -primarily in the Baltimore area- covering the up and coming hobo/busker movement..

Kosmo gonna need a show too though, right?
I'm going to executive produce Relaxer's ?POP tour de force..i was talking to him about this at the Priests show.
What is the point of this thread?Ostensibly, to beseech a man (who - I'm hearing things - may well be transitioning to walrus) to book bands one or more of us would like to see perform in one of his many swimming pool-equipped venues.
If we can actually see emmet swimming swimming, Seth wins.
....I think he has taken a vow of silence other than the fantasy football/RavensWalruses can neither speak nor type. One transitioning to walrus would, naturally, reduce the frequency with which they speak or type. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
I thought sidehutch skipped The Priests?nope...decided to go...I had a 6AM flight to catch the next morning

Its a long shot but New Order will be playing Chicago Riot Fest.. maybe a DC area show around then? I think they would be great at Anthem but I think that is scheduled to open a bit less than a month after Riot Fest...+1 on this...total perfect show for the anthem
Hey Seth - thanks for the Friends With Benefits access to The Anthem opening!
Van Morrison will be in Hershey, PA in early September. Would be great to see him at Merriweather or the Lincoln Theatre.

Jawbreaker reunion at the 9:30 club!
And since everyone is still freaking out over the foo fighters...why not just have the Foos do a three night residency (or hell a week long) residency at the Anthem? I don't think they've ever done something like that. It would be one crazy way to kick off your new venue. It would kill the scalpers and plus, some lucky or unlucky crowd could get a night of just a few new songs and a big covers set. (Seriously though any true Foos fan would love a solid covers set. I even joked at the RFK gig how they could just keep playing covers all night)

Hey there, Seth!
Just bought seats to QOTSA. They're way up on the 3rd deck. Sounds scary. How good/bad will the sound and sight lines be?
Can't wait to check the new venue out.
hey seth,(http://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/6/1/605461_v2.jpg)
excuse my ignorance on this question . . . but is ticketfly owned or associated with Ticketmaster / LiveNation?
I just received an email from Ticketmaster, thanking me for my purchase to the LCD Soundsystem show, which I purchased through ticketfly, and that I will be receiving a free copy of their new album, if I "just click here" and give my address and phone number and Name.
Is this a scam email? Doesn't this site already have my name and address and phone number, since I ordered tickets from them and they are sending my tickets to my address and name?
Edit . . . Just Googled it, Ticketmaster does now own Ticketfly.
Set times seem to have left the website....it is very helpful to count with them..Yeah, BRING BACK THE SET TIMES!

Tell me how the set times helps you exactly
Tell me how the set times helps you exactly
Speaking for myself, my work schedule is such that sometimes I don't get to leave until about 9pm. If a show starts at 9:30, I can figure out if I can make it to the club in time...sometimes, I'll be able to time it so that I can leave work, change out of my suit, then get there just in time to see the headliner take the stage. The set times have become so helpful and ultimately can make me decide whether or not I attend a show. It's pretty disappointing when you think you can see a show, then realizing the band went on 30 minutes earlier than you anticipated and you miss the bulk of the concert. Even though you can try to guess the set times, it's very much a crapshoot until the day of.
Tell me how the set times helps you exactly
anyways, Seth the set times being posted on the site the day of show is HUGE..
please get that back up somewhere.... yes one can estimate but one never feels too comfortable about estimating..and when i called the 930 about the set times a few days ago they didn't know...for people with kids, work, etc it can make a big difference to being able to make a show on time without extra stress and freaking out....
Nothing says 'rock'n roll" like adhering to a set schedule.
Tell me how the set times helps you exactly
my assumption is Seth is just being a bit fececious in this here thread and due to the really modern new website, they'll be updates soon to come.Unless you mean "of or relating to feces," it's facetious.

I almost1 regret blocking Hutch because he's no doubt currently fanboy-ing harder than anyone has ever fanboy-ed and going on a tirade about how time is an arbitrary construct and we're all stupid and Seth is the best and has a very large penis and he's naming his next child Imp in honor of 9:30's greatness and he doesn't even own a watch so what difference would it make if he knew when things start?my assumption is Seth is just being a bit fececious in this here thread and due to the really modern new website, they'll be updates soon to come.Unless you mean "of or relating to feces," it's facetious.

1 I am using hyperbolic language for dramatic effect and, in no way, approach any regret related to blocking Hutch.
While Seth's face does look like it had a collision with a Mack truck, I'm bet dollars to donuts that he does indeed have a very large penis.I see where you're going with this, and yes, we can resurrect that thread where we shallowly objectify others by their personal appearance. I have a lot of thoughts on Katy Perry's new haircut. I do.
it is important to my day of show logistics.
sometimes i want to arrive for the opener.
sometimes for the headliner only.
sometimes want to catch dinner beforehand.
While I do agree with vs...getting people in early helps bar salesit is important to my day of show logistics.

Seth wants you in there spending money on his food and drink, so if he doesn't post the set times, your concern over missing the headliner will have you there early, presumably spending money.
Makes perfect business sense to me.
I'm sorta thinking it is an oversight with the transition to the new web stuff. But now the issue has I.M.P.'s attention.While I do agree with vs...getting people in early helps bar salesit is important to my day of show logistics.

for a long time it was a given the set times would be there and I have come to depend on it for scheduling for almost every show
I will say that I have always been impressed how the 930 club keeps the talent to stick to the set times
Bands are rarely more than a minute or two late at most IMP shows
So do you think this was a business decision to remove the set times or just an oversight

Kemosabe has reminded us that the name does not mean "he who knows nothing", but rather "trusted scout".Or faithful friend...
But, come on, page after page of explaining to him why it is important? Pages of questioning his business practices?He specifically asked.
Are you sure he didn't ask a rhetorical question?To be fair, those are valid possibilities. That said, he's been here long enough to know the consequences of throwing some chum into shark-infested waters.
Or that he was being sarcastic and really doesn't care?
I've been on the board long enough to know that Seth likes three things:
(1) Making Money
(2) His family
(3) Music
Possibly in that order.
Out of the 1,200 people at an average sold out 930 Club show, how many people do you think actually checked for the set times on this site? 1%? 5%? I am guessing the number is not even that high. I get why it is important to a lot of people on here, but damn you guys sound like entitled crybabies. And some of you older folks act like millenials are the entitled ones... I am sure Seth has heard your reasons and is taking them into consideration. But, come on, page after page of explaining to him why it is important? Pages of questioning his business practices? I probably go to way more shows than most people here, and I have a super busy life, and somehow I am able to figure out all of the shows in regards to set times; either by asking on Facebook event pages, or by figuring them out by the information given to me (number of bands, door time, show start time from websites). It is not hard to do. If you are so worried about planning out your shows, then what good is getting the set times the day of the show? They help you for that day, but if you really need to plan your night, you probably would need the info earlier than day of the show. Why is it so hard to ask Eddie on the FAQ board? He always has a good answer, and usually responds the same day. At the very least he gives you the time that the first band plays. Asking him seems to be a better way to see if you can actually attend the show than if you get the set times given to you on this website the day of the show. And what about other venues that do not post them? Do you whine about that? Avoid going to non-IMP shows?
Modest Mouse is on tour this fall. The last date on it is in Richmond on October 15th. It would be nice to not have to drive to Richmond to see them...Well you're no longer invited for drinks before Modest Mouse. . .
I did not know there was an offer. If it still stands, I would take you up on it. I'm leaning towards buying tickets for the Richmond show this weekend.I think you're going to have to Stubhub it. Isn't it sold out?
well set times are back to a point.. for example tonight's show at 930 listed as
Amadou & Mariam

yup last night was a hoot.. cool line-up, nice weather, great evening out!Agreed. Also, Ex Hex were the best opening band ever. Never saw an opener get a standing ovation (by the whole pavilion) before. I did not envy Andrew Bird for having to follow them!

Yeah, I've seen them a couple times before, too, as headliners even, and I've always enjoyed them, but this was by far the best performance I've seen from them.yup last night was a hoot.. cool line-up, nice weather, great evening out!Agreed. Also, Ex Hex were the best opening band ever. Never saw an opener get a standing ovation (by the whole pavilion) before. I did not envy Andrew Bird for having to follow them!
Ex Hex is currently the best band in DC. I knew they'd be wonderful, but that was the best they've ever performed (and I've seen them like 5 or 6 times). The two new songs shredded. I actually think I may have enjoyed them the most, though the Belle and Sebastian dance party at the end of their set was fantastic.

Heaven 17 just announced their first ever US show, any chance of a DC show? Bucket list for many I suspect...I can confirm he still has his pipes when he did the singing for Holy Holy he was unbelievable
I wonder, if jesus jones played ever, again, in the future of dc . . . where would they play?
Count me in for Heaven 17 but every time I hear Right here right now I want to blow my brains out
Sure. I'll, send it to you when I get it. I'm sure, I will have it on Spotify before it even arrives in my mail.
Dude, he hasn't posted in months. I think he's dead.Sure. I'll, send it to you when I get it. I'm sure, I will have it on Spotify before it even arrives in my mail.
hutch . . . just got the free cd of new lcd album, one week after I have it on Spotify, as predicted. you still want it?
Any chance of a Wilco show at the Anthem before the end of the year? Especially since they'll be doing little or no touring in 2018.

2. Breeders are announced at lincoln theatre alreadyhmm...must of missed that, but thanks seth!
Anthem has wilco specs
Anthem has wilco specs
Right. That's why you get stupid comment of the day because I said nothing of the 930.
Was not talkin to you shemp..
James they are not going to have wilco play 2 nights at the 930 so both band and imp make way less than with one night at anthem
Surprise at the Anthem!Technically, aren't virtually all shows surprises to most people? Are the bands calling some of you up ahead of time and informing you concerts will be announced?
Maybe Squeeze is the new Surprise type show....the days of paul simon, dylan, james brown type acts at the club are over...they did just have Green Day and Flaming lips this year...those are pretty good for a 1200 seat venue
To be fair, those were before The Anthem was an option.Maybe Squeeze is the new Surprise type show....the days of paul simon, dylan, james brown type acts at the club are over...they did just have Green Day and Flaming lips this year...those are pretty good for a 1200 seat venue
Maybe Squeeze is the new Surprise type show....the days of paul simon, dylan, james brown type acts at the club are over...
Any update on possibly putting back set times on the 9:30 main page? Pretty please? I'm gonna keep asking...maybe it doesn't matter to most, but it matters to some of us. Love ya.It matters to virtually everyone on here as we've all indicated and Seth, in his Walrusian lust for greed, basically told us all to fuck off.
how 'bout The Jesus Lizard
How about JawbreakerFTFYand the Jesus Lizard at Anthemanywhere?
Tell me how the set times helps you exactly
Again, my biggest question is why stop now after listing set times for a dozen years?The simplest answer is usually the correct one: Seth does not care about his customers or music; he only cares about squeezing every last penny out of people. This is his prerogative as a business person.

Geez..tough crowd...
Hey i hear you..but the 930 has crap beer too? Also they had set times up for many years so i doubt it is all about the benjamins ....UStreet has set times up for tonight st etienne btw
Per usual, I agree with Bearman heartily. To Julian's purely provocative response, how does not posting set times help the club, make money, or do anything really? Sure, it could be off a bit, but I'd think folks who know enough to look at the website for set times are savvy enough to know that it's the schedule, and the best estimation that can be made in advance.
how does not posting set times help the club, make money, or do anything really?
Seth wants you in there spending money on his food and drink, so if he doesn't post the set times, your concern over missing the headliner will have you there early, presumably spending money.
Makes perfect business sense to me.
I was thinking about this on the way home.
Not knowing set times will definitely reduce the number of last-minute shows I attend, but (as posted above) if it's something I wanna see, I'll still buy tix in advance and will be sure to show up on time.
It would be different if there were decent seating options. Much happier to arrive early if I can sit in the spot I'll be catching the show from. Sadly, I'm not 22 anymore and do try to cut down on standing time at shows. Perhaps this is how old folks like me get weeded out of club shows.

Have you tried one of those standing desk setups at work? Get going on one of those and standing for five hours at a show will be cake.
Thinking this through:
Ultimately, the logic is that the buyer won't make a purchase/no purchase decision due to set-times (late-shows/early-shows excluded) because set-times were typically not announced until the day of the show. Us show-goers, and the younger folks that replace us over time, are going to purchase tickets to shows that they want to see, and if no set-time is ever posted, we/and those that follow us, are just going to show up on time to try to make sure that we/they see the part of the show we want to see.
So giving us notice of the set-times is something that IMP/930 does for us that is nice for it to do, but it is not really necessary or a "whether to buy a ticket" decision point for us. And it may make IMP/930 slightly more money if we are in the club longer, and makes the openers happier that there is a larger crowd present (though, does anyone really care about making the openers happy?)
The thing is that IMP/930 does nice things for us that it doesn't need to do (formerly posting set-times), FWB, World's fair, some presales, this BBS, and the like, that it doesn't have to do, and because of that it is hard to understand why IMP/930 would stop doing a nice thing for us that it didn't ever need to do and it causes this dissonance.
Or

My question remains why stop a "nice, customer friendly" practice which they've done for more than a dozen years, and in fact likely started (such that other clubs/venues now post set times day of a show)? I guess cynical interpretations win out, it's about getting you to the club earlier to drink more beer. All I can say is that breaks my heart to hear and believe about a club and company I've loved and touted for 27 years. I am pretty sure I've been to 9:30 club 300-400 times. And whether I get there when doors open or just for the headliner, I normally have a healthy bar tab.

My final response is sad, so sad.
It’s not an attempt at trolling. Vansmack agrees with me. If it’s not about money, then why? It’s about selling beer. Any person with half a brain knows that because NO OTHER PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION EXISTS OR HAS BEEN PROFFERED.
Point of clarity - Jules agreed with me, not the other way around.Jules has been driving the "Seth is a businessman who doesn't care about you and your worship of him is misguided" train for a decade. As always, I am at the forefront of speaking truth to power and exposing the bewildering logical fallacies of this community. (See also: ticket scalping, illegal downloading of music, Hutch is a shitbird, the moderators are generally poor at their job, et al)
I don't know whether to mock the idea that posting a set time on a website forms an unbreakable covenant that the band cannot violate or to mock the idea that not posting the set time on a website means there is not an internal agreed upon time that the band is scheduled to go on.It’s not an attempt at trolling. Vansmack agrees with me. If it’s not about money, then why? It’s about selling beer. Any person with half a brain knows that because NO OTHER PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION EXISTS OR HAS BEEN PROFFERED.
Maybe the bands prefer not being tied to a specific set time?

It's cute that you take the phrase "for a decade" to literally mean 10 years to the second.Jules has been driving the "Seth is a businessman who doesn't care about you and your worship of him is misguided" train for a decade.

how about: it requires effort, and management might not see/believe in the payoff. staph are already busy, updating the website every day isn't high on their priorities list, someone needs to be trained in the website backend, they need to chase after whoever is responsible for daily scheduling to get set times, etc. it's not a lot of effort, but it's some.

Are you telling me Julian can hold down a job and make 20,000 posts on this website,I like to think of those 26,000+ posts as my real job. I "work" on the side.

and the new website provider for some reason is now not able to add this info the day of, which is often when we figure this stuff out, so we just put door times now, which we do know in advanceIs the new website provider the reason Eddie no longer gives the set times in the FAQ?
Appreciate the response Seth, but I for one don't think once in 15 years a band I came to see came on later than 15 minutes from the posted set time.
so...
set times...
a few different reasons...
they were often inaccurate, as we are dealing with human beings not videos and they just don't function like clockwork...
we got complaints when the schedules weren't as posted, so we got tired of that
and the new website provider for some reason is now not able to add this info the day of, which is often when we figure this stuff out, so we just put door times now, which we do know in advance
but as you all are vastly experienced 930 goers...how are you not able to figure out approximately when the band you want to see goes on, and how often are you wrong and by how many minutes?
besides all that, yes we want you getting there early and not pre-gaming and spending your money elsewhere
The more I think about this, the more annoyed I get simply because the excuses Seth gave weren't really valid reasons,
Seth really doesn't have a leg to stand on regarding this argument.
Hey Seth - you might want to ask your IT guys to make sure The Anthem and IMP website's security certificates and stuff are up to date. My browser at work threw up a "open to hackers" warning when I went to both sites and my employer just blocked your IP from our computers as a security risk. Looks like 9:30 Club site is fine though.He went with an IT vendor that cannot figure out how to make daily text updates to a website; security certificates are way beyond the pale.
FWIW, I missed most of Alison Moyet at 930 because I didn't check the posted set times.
Hey Seth -You don’t need to know when bands start and end.
Some of the parking garages in the area around Anthem close at Midnight. I there any assurance that foos 10/12 will be over in time for folks to get out and walk 10 mins or so to such lots?
The Jesus Lizard in December?
So do we want concerts to be like movies or Broadway shows with start and end times??
Anyone who has seen the Foos knows they can play a one hour encore...I would hate for a venue or its patrons to condition bands...leave that to the outdoor venues with their curfews demanded by the neighbors which are a great excuse to put on a short show...

Ok, I've been whining about the set times as much as anyone.
But....
We went to see needtobreathe last night at the 930. The whole experience was great. Door people were super nice, it took 45 seconds to get through security (which is necessary), the cupcakes were large and tasty, and the vibe was so positive.
With the Doors at 6 and the Show at 7, it wasn't too hard to figure out that the headliner would come on at 8 or 8:15.
Also, big fan of these earlier shows, and I'm guessing it was because there were going to be a fair number of kids there.
So, I continue to think it's really nice to have the posted set times, but it probably isn't a big of a deal as I thought it was.
Why am I not getting any Friends With Benefits e-mails to any invites? I have not gotten love for a LONG time. Feeling pretty left out of the festivities.
Probably because of your stance on set times being posted on the web site....
I'm so not the guy who gets banned, except for . . .Oh, you were just namedropping me, you didn't actually need me for anything? Moving along then . . .

Thank you for having Bleachers play on Saturday night.Bleachers were going to play DC regardless of Seth's existence. He did nothing. Stop worshiping this false idol.
Ty Segall needs to book something on April 16th. Methinks a return to the Club is a good idea.
Wasn't Phil just here like 3 weeks ago with "special guests"? And then at the Cap Centre like a week ago with other special guests?
I dunno. I kinda like it when they play with kreutzman and hart, too.

Thanks for finally booking Thievery Corporation on New Years Eve.
The show was fucking great. And the triple bill of Trouble Funk, Gogol Bordello and them was brilliant.

Awesome!! Then, I will make sure to get there for the opening act. Hoping to meet anybody that plans on going. Of course, I will be in a drag queen t shirt, because I never know whether it's couth to actually wear a band shirt to a show of the band that you were seeing, even though I have some obscure killer Dead Milkmen t-shirts.

Hey Seth - There's some sort of fundraiser for That Guy's sister Kara to go to the Stanley Cup finals and wear his That Guy jersey. Something with which you could help out? I don't know how to share the facebook post on this.
Thank you so much for the Feelies...all shows The Feelies do are special because you just never know at what point they'll be done. They don't strike me as the type of band who'd do a farewell tour or even necessarily an announced final gig. They play for themselves (though they did play my request for "For Awhile" and it was fantastic). Anyway, it sounded great and the band kept commenting what a welcoming audience it was. Afterwards they said that on stage it sounded fantastic. Another terrific show and evening. Thanks.
Hey Seth,
Reviews of the Sweetheart of the Rodeo tour (with The Byrds' Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman) sound amazing. I can't do Richmond on a weeknight, please book them somewhere around here.

Any chance you can get Jawbreaker to play the 9:30 Club for a night or two?
They had to reschedule their show in Jersey that was suppose to happen this weekend, but LiveNation who booked it got all scared about the Hurricane. Plus, the band didn’t want their fans from the lower part of the East Coast to travel during such bad weather.
Considering they’re doing an indie show with the cool folks who throw Riot Fest, I don’t see why they wouldn’t do something with IMP.
gonna have to agree with Hutch on his analysis

We need some Evan in the District, dammit.
I saw Evan solo at the Black Cat many years ago. He was falling out periodically during the show and by the end, somebody else was holding the mic stand for him because he kept knocking it over. The trainwreck was worth the cover charge.

jules will certainly add at least 2 mixed drinks to the haul. i can think of at least 2 other folks who would be there, so we're up to:
8 tix
8 beers (4 more for the two additional people mentioned above)
2 t-shirts
2 mixed drinks
this has "put my kids through college" written all over it.

I will still purchase such, but only if signed by the band.
A random observation, and this is by no means a criticism. I saw Jawbreaker at Anthem last night (which one could argue could have been a fairly quick sellout at the 9:30), and I'm guessing there was about maybe 1500 folks there max? Not a bad crowd, but it was interesting how when Jawbreaker came out, the sheer size of the venue took the band a bit by surprise. It was at least a 3 songs before everyone sort of got over feeling dwarfed (audience included), and then it started to feel more fun. If it had been at the 9:30, I think the energy would have been more immediate from the get-go. It turned into a great show, and sounded wonderful...the band found their way to fill the venue up with sound (as did War on Women, who were amazing). Change is never easy, and I love that you can get a big band (say the Black Keys) to come do a show there instead of in an arena, but I hope that next time Jawbreaker comes around (here's hoping) you won't shy away from putting them at the 9:30. Some bands just genuinely connect better with fans in more intimate venues. But as a businessman, I get it. You have to turn the lights on to pay the bills.Hoping this is better tonite at The NorVa (which actually also isn't sold out).
I'm still amazed that Tallest Man on Earth warrants an Anthem show. Clearly I know nothing, but if you'd asked me which venue was hosting the Tallest Man on Earth, I would've guessed the Hotel or BC. I had no idea there was such a demand for this guy.I think I said this in another thread but between now and then, he has a show in Charlottesville in a 500 person venue that has been on sale for months and still is not sold out. I similarly was very flummoxed how, even at the smallest stage configuration, the Anthem booking makes any sense but not my problem, so . . .

I similarly was very flummoxed how, even at the smallest stage configuration, the Anthem booking makes any sense but not my problem, so . . .
I don't know if goats blood is involved, but I'd stay away from the wharf that nightLet me know if you need help scotchguarding the yacht. I know a guy.
I'm still amazed that Tallest Man on Earth warrants an Anthem show. Clearly I know nothing, but if you'd asked me which venue was hosting the Tallest Man on Earth, I would've guessed the Hotel or BC. I had no idea there was such a demand for this guy.
A random observation, and this is by no means a criticism. I saw Jawbreaker at Anthem last night (which one could argue could have been a fairly quick sellout at the 9:30), and I'm guessing there was about maybe 1500 folks there max? Not a bad crowd, but it was interesting how when Jawbreaker came out, the sheer size of the venue took the band a bit by surprise. It was at least a 3 songs before everyone sort of got over feeling dwarfed (audience included), and then it started to feel more fun. If it had been at the 9:30, I think the energy would have been more immediate from the get-go. It turned into a great show, and sounded wonderful...the band found their way to fill the venue up with sound (as did War on Women, who were amazing). Change is never easy, and I love that you can get a big band (say the Black Keys) to come do a show there instead of in an arena, but I hope that next time Jawbreaker comes around (here's hoping) you won't shy away from putting them at the 9:30. Some bands just genuinely connect better with fans in more intimate venues. But as a businessman, I get it. You have to turn the lights on to pay the bills.
I think that there were at least 2855 people at Jawbreaker, Bear. I think that the floor at the Anthem probably holds at least 3 930club crowds. Would love for Seth to confirm attendance in this thread along with the news of the Hives show.

Any plans to announce The Jesus Lizard at 930 Sun Dec 29?
mmm Jesus Lizard would be real nice on the 29th indeed.
Seth...come on man...we need an IMP fest or something!Thanks for taking my request, putting it on your dream board....and then making it happen

Sleaford Mods if they do any US dates besides Coachellanew to me, sounds interesting
+1It was my understanding the C'ville show is not a Remain In Light show. If I am mistaken, please let me know as I would likely drive the fifty minutes and go.
I think they are doing Charlottesville but that’s a hike

When you share fun facts like that with your wife, does she reply by telling you that you need to work harder at your job?

Hey Seth, welcome back.Agreed. This, and this alone, is what we’d remember you for — you magnanimosity with regard to presales.
Can there be arranged a Forurm Foo Fighters Presale?

I, for one, have never, understood this obsession with The Director.
I met him. I saw him, at a few shows around, DC.
I have, my own opinions.
The, end.
Welcome back Seth.
ok
Are you saying Seth needs to order some?
It is pretty cool..goes back to 2005This could be cool if the original poster is cool but there doesn't seem to be a way of knowing what that looks like absent a Google search. Like that Green Day on in the example looks super lame. The Fleet Foxes/Animal Collective one, on the other hand, is great.
Off the top of me head Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Mudcrutch and Iggy POP and the Stooges would be very cool possibilities for me....
Great I will send you $200 for the picture of you at the Gwar show!Pictures of one's self at GWAR shows are worth money now? My America is going to upgrade all the goldplating to platinum here in a second.
I have dozens of these posters, and for $200 I will send you a picture of me in front of one of my choosing.

I'd 100% attend a show at 9:30 if Seth installed a negative air pressure system.
Seth, are you still out there? Can you give us a “Stay Tuned” if we can skip the Brooklyn Steel shows and wait for a LCD Soundsystem series at one of our beloved IMP clubs?Why in Gods green earth are any of you under the delusion that a band doing a monthly long residency is going to pop out for a few dates in another town and of all the towns in the world, that town would be Washington DC, a town they have no real connection to? You may as well ask Seth if Talking Heads are reuniting for a surprise! At the Club.
Hope you are well.

Can we have the show on a Thursday?Dude, I think you crossed the line here
What are the odds of getting a Talking Heads ticket for $30 on Stubhub?does this hypothetical involve a time machine?
You are right, Julian. I guess it is safe to assume they are never leaving Brooklyn again.Obviously I'm proposing no such thing.
Seriously, did I misread the announcement? Is this 20 dates or 20 dates each month from now on?
If the Talking Heads who famously have indicated they will never reunite ever were to do so for a one-off, I think its pretty obvious it would be in DC because Seth is bringing the pole back to retro-930 and that pole is the cornerstone upon which all of rock n roll -- pre-pole and post-pole -- exists and was formed.What are the odds of getting a Talking Heads ticket for $30 on Stubhub?does this hypothetical involve a time machine?
All hail the pole.The Julian's Pole thread is going to be amazing.

How about this, pal: if LCD SS plays a DC-area show (Baltimore does not count) before 3/31/2022, I'll buy you a general admission ticket. If they don't, you buy me a $25 IMP Gift Card?
I am fine with your alternative wager. Game on.You are right, Julian. I guess it is safe to assume they are never leaving Brooklyn again.Obviously I'm proposing no such thing.

Thanks for the generous offer. To be clear, I wasn’t predicting a show in my question to Seth. I was asking if one was likely. I’m old and don’t want to travel to Brooklyn anytime soon. Sometimes we get lucky with answers around here.
However, being a sporting fellow, how about this. If a show in the DC area is announced by Feb. 1, I win. If not, you do. It will be fun to play. Are there any merch offerings or gift cards that benefit staph? If so, let’s bet one of those. If not, a $25.00 IMP gift card works.
Let’s rock and roll. I am sad that you have to root against an LCD show to win, though.I am fine with your alternative wager. Game on.You are right, Julian. I guess it is safe to assume they are never leaving Brooklyn again.Obviously I'm proposing no such thing.

I saw him only a few years prior at the George Mason and seem to remember that being a very meh show
beck tens to yelp a lot live
I do, but for some reason the only thing I remember is him yelping a lot and making a lot of non-melodic racket
Dude tell me you remember you saw him at the club?
…at 930 it was like a white dude trying too hard to be Prince and it wasn’t quite clear if it was a joke…uncomfortableyeah I remember that, especially since he doesn't have a particularly smooth voice
Sir Julian, I owe you a gift card. No LCD in DC. Deliver through PM?Forgot ALL about this. But sure, PM me. Good on you.
