Title: City and Colour Rollcall
Post by: kosmo vinyl on January 07, 2010, 10:36:41 am: Someone had to do it ;D

I streamed some of his record yesterday and were it not for work I'd check the show out tonite.

Anyone else in?

Post by: xcanuck on January 07, 2010, 10:57:34 am: I'll be there. Not sure if I should get there early enough to check out Lissie. Anyone seen/heard her before?

Post by: wml7 on January 07, 2010, 11:00:22 am: I wonder if that one person who was complaining about the high ticket prices will be at this show? Wasn't this the band he/she wanted to see? ;D

Post by: James Ford on January 07, 2010, 11:03:26 am: I have no idea who this band is, but I'll sure be glad when the show is over, so I don't have to look at the guy's picture anymore each time I come to the 9:30 website.

Also, some people were laughing at Vampire Weekend playing DAR, but what about Owl City? Who the fug is Owl City?

Post by: nkotb on January 07, 2010, 11:31:00 am: So THAT'S who that is? I couldn't believe my ears when I heard a new albeit shitty PS song on the radio. God, that guy has Gibbard's voice and precious wordplay down pat. Looks like lawsuit time...

Post by: Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface on January 07, 2010, 01:21:40 pm: City and Colour aren't THAT terrible. I mean, he sucks, but I'd rather listen to him then Alexisonfire if I had to choose.

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightening bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance.
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock-hop beneath my bed,
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.

That's . . .that's just not right.

I am fascinated by this guy/band. Suddenly I'm seeing them everywhere without even looking. New single pierces through pop radio, CD on display at Nordstroms of all places, and now they're headlining DAR. Did they win an indie lottery or something?

I was wondering the same thing... Is MySpace still able to break bands this big? Was there a song on some TV show/soundtrack?

Post by: kosmo vinyl on January 08, 2010, 10:58:50 am: So how was the City and Colour show? Was it packed? Was the stage in it's regular spot?
Title: Re: City and Colour Rollcall
Post by: brennser on January 08, 2010, 11:02:25 am: Sold out. PACKED. About 300 people queueing outside when I got there at 6.30. Lots of crowd singalongs etc etc.
