Now that the big reveal has happened, what bands/artists/etc. would've you liked to have seen on this list that didn't make the cut, primarily "friends" of IMP/The Club.
Stephen Malkmus (maybe he's not a friend?)
Queens of the Stone Age (do they still exist, are they me too'd?)
Trey Anastasio
Ween (Definitely not a friend)
Built to Spill
Beck
St. Vincent
M. Ward

I like the idea of a ‘not a friend of IMP’ list
It think you are right on both… and they both were BFFs for the 90s /00s
-
Fugazi/Ian side project was surprisingly missing
I have got to imagine Seth talked to Ian… even would agree to a $5 door
-
Tiny Desk Unit
-
Tiny Desk Unit
Good call, but filed under hobo rock/not worh $44 + $11
And yes, anything tied to Ian is a no brainer but definitely not expected... more
Frank Turner (is he still a friend?)
Sleater Kinney
Belle and Sébastien
-
Burnt Ernies
Lucy Brown

I'm not familiar with their work

I'd love to see Vapors of Morphine come thru, but I honestly don't know what their draw would be.
Overcoats is skipping DC on this tour...

Always been a laudanum man, myself. Perferably out of a lead-crystal goblet.

Frank Turner (is he still a friend?)
My felling is he is not a friend even with the whole Josh/song/recording/live @9:30 you would think he would be
But he hasn’t played an IMP venue the last 4 times he came through
-
I think Malkmus is more a Black Cat friend
-
Well Seth says in one of those interviews some acts got the concept of the underplay and some didn’t….there’s surely a big part of the answer.
The biggest shocker by far - in terms of not being on the Atlantis list- is Trouble Funk. But there are plenty of possible explanations.
Some obviously are non possibilities…acts touring elsewhere…Stuart Murdoch had to cancel the US tour due to health so he isn’t going to fly to DC from Scotland to do this! Malkmus, after all the Pavement touring, probably will want to go home, right? GBV would have been cool but they are off the road and I think Bob is recovering from some surgery or other….
The other surprise is the lack of a Dischord related act other than Grohl? But realistically how many Dischord acts have played the 930 the past 25 years? How many could command $44? I wanted to see Scream but at least two band members I think live in Los Angeles and they seem like an old friend that kind of found a new set of friends (Black Cat)
I am glad there are no Tiny Desk Unit or Slickee Boys….many of those acts worked well for the 35 anniversary FREE show but just wouldn’t work here.
-
Bob Mould, Henry Rollins….bit of a surprise maybe….
Mould plays DC so damn much though….and Rollins would have had to be spoken word….

I could see this, but $44 is kinda step for them
-
It's possible that some of the smaller missing bands will be openers, unless the part about "44 artists" is strict.

88 bands for 44 dollars?
-
will there be openers?
I assumed not

Yeah don’t think there will be openers either
-
If only there were bands that lived in DC who could open these shows for little to no money whatsoever. You know like a local . . . opener.
I've just blown everyone at IMPs mind, I know.
-
I notice some shows say doors open at 7 and some shows say doors open at 8…. I wonder why the difference?
-
The Hold Steady
I'm disappointed no My Morning Jacket.
-
León bridges
Mmj… agreed
Think ths is on the ‘not friend’s’ list
-
Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift
now we are talking
Although I think she makes like 1 million per show, that’s a lot of $44 tix

I was sort of joking about Hold Steady because it seems like they would be on a not friends list.
But MMJ is playing Anthem in July. Maybe they are busy the other nights around the date.

I think the capded crusader's stock is falling... their last 13+ years of material has been bad and they can't even sell out the Anthem now...
As hutch said in another thread, maybe this is where MMJ will go to die in a few years. Their farewell tour can end at the Atlantis.

My other thought was that bands who are playing larger venues (Pixies, Franz, DCFC/Gibbard, etc) have already sold out or maybe look like they will, so adding them to the Atlantis list won't affect their bigger venue ticket sales. Maybe they are confident MMJ is not going to sell out the Anthem based on early ticket sales, so won't take away Anthem ticket sale by adding an Atlantis night. Or something like that.
I agree that MMJ material has fallen off, but feel like there's enough good stuff fro mall eras to cull from to still make it a great show. I'm thinking I'll be able to Stubhub the Anthem show, just like I stubhubbed the Merriweather show a few years ago.
