that may be but seth is killing them in the area.. live nation has way downscaled their promotion and seth continues chugging along... i don't know how the fillmore will factor into this..

Before you get on your google machine high horse, I did a search too, except I searched hurwitz, figuring his name would come up.

Now fuck off, I've got work to do.

there are quite a few bands (national and International) who don't make it south of Philly - I think we will finally get to see alot more bands finally play in the DC market - thank god. Maybe for once, after the Kaiser Chiefs release their next album they can play at the Filmore and it won't be an ultra late night performance as it has been everytime at the 9:30  I would assume the Filmmore won't double book acts on the same night, I can't stand that when the 9:30 does that, cause if the show I want to see becomes the late show, I have to factor in getting a friend's car, or add in cab fare, since the Metro closes during the second show.

how many millions is this project over-budget by now?  the county will be picking up most of that, on top of the $4M they already gave it.  they're cutting school funding and laying off emergency responders, and this is what they're spending my tax dollars on?  if this venue is such a great idea, why isn't it paying for itself?  but hey, we don't care - TEH KAIZER CHEIFS OMG!!!!!111

Me! I said that from day one. Not so much out of loyalty to Seth but mostly due to the extreme political abuses towards we, the citizens. Some of us have to take a stand.

Besides, I flipping HATE the Kaizer Chiefs!

Does anyone else think that it looks like they are more or less ripping off the 930 Club's design?

Bunch of tossers!

If they aren't playing DC now, it's highly unlike it's going to change with another venue.

Do you honestly think Seth isn't trying to book these acts if given the chance?
Title: Re: when is the silver spring fillmore opening?
Post by: hutch on March 25, 2011, 09:03:05 pm
i meant sweetcell is going to boycott the venue!

i just wonder who they are going to book that isn't already coming? how many nights a week will they have rock. i could see it being but 1 or 2 to start...with some comedy, events...

September according to this: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/apps/News/press/PR_details.asp?PrID=6871
"Governor O?Malley and I applaud the tireless efforts that were put in to making this project a reality and we are proud that the State contributed $4 million,? said Lieutenant Governor Brown. ?We both look forward to joining our neighbors in Montgomery County at concerts as soon as this new venue opens."

The Kaiser Chiefs have played relatively few US club shows and the 9:30 Club has had them at least TWICE and all you do is complain and pray for a shitty knock-off to save you.  What a bitch.

They also have one of the weakest live drummers I've ever see for a band at that level, clearly a product of studio trickery.

In defense of Kaiser Chiefs, Milner points out that it wasn't (isn't) just them.  "PSF" is a pretty good read.

hopefully this represents the type of music acts that live nation will book.  it is interesting to note that live nation has a fillmore in miami beach.  that venue is closed more than it is open.  in fact, it is rarely open.

Almost as cutting edge as that line up in Dewey Beach this summer.

I've also heard from a reliable source there will be September shows, dont't think this is the opener.

everybody who understands music, know that george is the shit.  when i was growing up, whenever his songs would come on . . . it was time to get down and party.  like in dazed and confused.  and when i hear his music today, it's still the same, but i am older and not partying like i used to.  go george wherever you play.

so there.
