hey everyone..question. on pollstar.com, it lists Social D at the 930 on october 28th.. Yet it is not listed here? is this show sold out and/or cancelled?? They are also listed in Baltimore at Sonar..but I haven't seen tickets available for that show either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
-
This looks like its been updated. Thanks anyway everyone...
-
Just got my tickets...God I cannot wait for this one.

just got my ticket!!

Always brings a smile to my face when they play DC.
I had seen them a lot growing up in The OC, but hadn't seen them in years upon moving to DC. When they finally played the 9:30 in 2001, it ruined my life.
Not because they were bad, they were amazing actually. But the show caused me to stop lurking on this board and finally make a post. 4000+ posts and countless wasted hours later....I'm 3,000 miles away and still posting.
By the way, we get 5 nights at The Filmore of Social D in November. Cue Nelson...Ha ha!
-
Whoah...I would probably be there all 5 nights too. I am bummed we're only getting one at the 9:30, I would have bet money we would get at least 2. Sigh. They would have sold them out too! I am debating going up to Sonar, but I am just not thrilled with that place. It's OK, but at a sold out show it's not exactly comfortable. Plus I find that the smoke in there gets to be overpowering.

For Vansmack...

HA HA!

I know it's an early roll call, but who's going? I'm off to see them at TLA in Philly tomorrow night. I wish they were playing more than 2 nights, but given my work schedule, I'll barely be able to make it to the Tuesday show. That being said, I don't give a damn. I'm THERE.
-
Rumor has it I'm going. :)
-
Yeah...I think I heard that somewhere too ;) I've been on my total Social D kick lately. I'll be especially happy if I get to hear "Cold Feelings" which is becoming more rare in the setlist these days.
-
DAMN IT!! All 3 shows in Philly have been cancelled. I hope that this doesn't screw up DC at all. ARGH.
-
what happened?
-
From Social D's website (http://www.socialdistortion.com/news.html):
SOCIAL DISTORTION CANCEL ALL THREE SHOWS IN PHILADELPHIA
Due to illness Social D is forced to postpone all three of their Philadelphia shows this weekend - 10/21, 10/22 & 10/23. All tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates (currently being determined), or you can receive a full refund at the point of purchase. We apologize to all of you for this terrible inconvenience, but appreciate your understanding and support.

Oh my god almighty...and I just paid a premium for tickets. OY. Please, please have the DC show stay on schedule...You know they'll reschedule for the week I'm in France or something....
-
Well, looks like they're on for tonight. Thank GOD...plus, given that they're going on at 10:15 I should hopefully have enough time to leave work, go home, change and make it to the show. Bombay, I'll look for ya (I'm usually stage right) and Bags I'll look for you too. I hope that they've fought off their ills and will be back with a vengeance!

I'm usually in the general vicinity of the Food Food window, though I'm not sure I'll get up that close as I'm getting there just in time for Social D myself.
I'll be at DC9 at 9:30 if you get over early and aren't heading right to the club to stake out your space.
-
well let me be the first to say the Soc D show tonight was really ALRIGHT!! Another constant in life that doesnt suck. in other words, thats a ringing endorsement.
again munchy scored sold out xtra tix :-) fu tktmstr
i left any "ball and chain" behind and went alone. eff it this time, i dont go to talk.
i was in crushing distance of thatguy [the big bouncer guy who i saw in a kilt pict on this board a while back], 1st time i saw him after learnign of him on this board. i wanted to reach out and offer to shake his hand but i was afraid he'd crush it! besides im sure he'd be like "who the eff r u??"
ps where does he take all the ppl he carries over his shoulder? outside? or some alternate universe-netherworld-purgatory sort of place - full of virgins*, like maybe somewhere down by the backbar?
i happened to like the opening band "bullets and octane", btw, good job.
*in heaven why would i want virgins? i'd want a woman who knew what the hell she is doing. this is how i know religion is bullshit. glad i could clear up that centuries old debate on religion in one fell swoop.
-
wow one seriously tall crowd at the show, i'm guessin 75% male for this one.... luckily i was able to secure a good vantage point in the balcony when arriving right before SxDx.
first time seeing SxDx since that killer triple bill with Neil Young & Crazy Horse & Sonic Youth. Became a fan when bands liked this could actually get airplay on the radio and having been waiting for a recent show that wasn't soldout or a Warped Tour date.
yet another band from yester year stomping on the new and "hip", solid tunes with little rest between numbers. there was an unofficial sixth member of the band last nite, shame he didn't get his own microphone. you know which guy i speak of :D
-
I was right infront of "big bouncer dude" and I can tell you one douchebag he carried out over his shoulders was escorted from the club for trying to start fights in the front for no apparent reason other than the fact that he was highly intoxicated.
Anyway, that aside, it was an awesome show. I snagged a copy of the setlist, here it is:
Reach For The Sky
Highway 101
Under My Thumb
Bad Luck
Mommy's Little Monster
Sick Boy
Mass Hysteria
Bye Bye Baby
Diamond in the Rough (new)
Don't Take Me For Granted
BALL AND CHAIN
King of Fools
Nickles and Dimes

Footprints on my Ceiling
Ring of Fire
Story of my Life
Not as good a set as the Allentown PA show I saw back in May, but still a great show. Even the opening bands were good.

The drummer was a hoot. I hope he hooks up with a real band someday. The singer was a complete joke. Like some sort of mutant cross between Steven Tyler and Fernando Lamas, but without any actual talent.

Great ending...I had a really fun time, and the crowd, though tall and very "Social D," was really fun and quite easy to deal with. I had more problems at Death Cab with the OC kids who don't yet know concert crowd etiquette (all trying to maintain their space perfectly and getting petulant when they believed it was being encroached upon...). A fun rock n' roll show. I find Ness great, he's so very....Ness.

We came to the conclusion that he is the bastard spawn if somehow Lemmy, Steven Tyler, Davey Havok and that fag from the Darkness were able to breed.
-
didn't know the lead singer of the Darkness was a cigarette... i too remember being in high school...
-
I thought the Dead 60s were great. Really great.
I also liked the DJ set after the Dead 60s. The Dag Nasty was especially nice.

i don't make a habit of crushing people's hands. say hi. introduce yourself. i don't bite unless you ask nicely. or if i keep getting called a bouncer. don't like that word when used to describe what i do. no way for you to know that, though.
ps where does he take all the ppl he carries over his shoulder? outside? or some alternate universe-netherworld-purgatory sort of place - full of virgins*, like maybe somewhere down by the backbar?
99.9% of the people that crowd surf are sent right back around the end of the barricade to the crowd. we have a catch and release policy, as long as they aren't causing any trouble. last night, one patron got a do not pass go, do not collect $200 trip out the back door for being an asshole. that doesn't happen often.
side note: based on years of observation, i don't think that there are many virgins in the backbar.
-
It was great to hear Bye Bye Baby and King of Fools. I don't think those make the set list very often.
Mike Ness seemed like he was in a great mood after being sick. Did anyone else see him tear up for an instance after talking about Johnny Cash?

Hoya and myself try our best. Thanks for noticing. :)

if you're talking about me, i don't need no mic. i was singing louder than the crowd without one. might just catch me doing it again tonight.
great show last night. sd is always a good time. i've never seen them play a bad show. i missed hearing prison bound, with its new intro utilizing dan on the organ, and when she begins, but overall i was pleased with the setlist. i put a bug in a couple of ears about prison bound, so hopefully it will make an appearance tonight.

Yeah, I couldn't see shit. I'd be curious to see the alcohol sales of this show vs. other shows. The beer really seemed to be flowing - morons were walking by with four beers, spilling half of it on their way back to their spot...
I really wish this show was on a weekend. I had to take it easy since it was a weeknight, and I'm going to see BSS tonight also. Still an awesome show though.

good job thatguy!!!!
you ask and you receive. Social D was fantastic last night at a packed Sonar. and they played Prison Bound!!! wooohooo.
the crowd was pretty insane, we were about 2 people from the stage and it was pushing/shoving/mosh pit/crowdsurfing central, but well worth it...i am very tired.
i have nothing to say about the Dead 60s or Bullets and Octance cause SD was so killer i cant remember a damn thing about the other two bands!!!!
-
oh and for me.. show of the year!!
-
Man, I should have been there....
-
i was very happy that they added prison bound and the creeps. that slowed down honky tonk intro to prison bound makes an already great song so much better. still no when she begins, but they were playing other songs from that album this time that i hadn't heard in a while, so it's all good.
i had a great spot back by foh away from the heat of the crowd. i'm too old to be banged around up front and getting roof sweat dripped all over me if i'm not getting paid to be there. i could watch sd play every night and never get tired of it. i'm seriously considering a trip to the west coast to catch some of the end of the tour.
rumor mill time: the band was planning on cancelling today so that they could do the atlanta shows following. the make up dates for philly, state college, norfolk, and anything else that gets cancelled will most likely be rescheduled for the spring. since they will have to come back to the east coast anyway, they are planning on doing another run of the whole coast. most likely back at the club. hopefully more than one night.

Man, if they make that April, I'm moving the reception to the 9:30 and asking Ness to dedicate Ball and Chain to my little lady. And then ducking.
-
I had tickets to Philly, so that is great news. Damn, I hope that they DO come back again. They seem to always pack them in, so why WOULDN'T they keep touring? They must make some bucks that way, plus I always try to convert new folks to their music!

Great scene this morning as the wife was bringing me my 800 mg of Ibuprofen and a banana that I forgot to take with me before leaving for work. I'm sitting in her 4-door Camry, in my suit, listening to Social D and she hands me the pain killers and says "You're so not a punk anymore." Classic.
Great Social D show last night. First time seeing them in SF (usually I catch them over the holiday in OC or LA but this time they played SF in Nov instead of December) and the pit was surprsingly active for what is normally known as an extremely polite concert crowd (SF that is).
They played a ton of stuff from the new album which was good to hear. "Nickels and Dimes" was one of the more active pit songs. More importantly was "When She Begins" and "Sick Boy" back to back. That pretty much assured me Ibuprofen for the next 2 weeks as my back went out. Gotta give that shit up at some point. He also added a Hank Williams cover, which is always nice of Ness. He claimed to play a song they had never played before about being stranded in Bakersfield, but I think the net will expose Ness' lies. The tribute of "Don't Drag me Down" motherfucker to the cocksucker President Bush was a nice touch.
I thought the piano/organ was unecessary for the most part, but I'd give a pretty penny for Ness' Orange County emblamized Les Paul. Mark my words, I'll have one of those some day.
It was good to see Ness let Jonny 2Bags have a bigger role. I was growing a bit tired of the Dennis tributes and always felt a little badly for 2bags when Ness did that. It's clear Ness realizes that 2bags can play a lot better then Dannell ever did as evidenced by the number of solos he let 2bags have.
I thought the Dead 60's were all right - you could really feel there music - literally. Especially the bass. I'd see them again. The other opener was a band from Orange County called The Johns - never heard fo them and didn't make it in time to see them. Shows how out of touch I am with the OC these days.
