Whats the story? Is anyone going? I hear Devo puts on a sick show.
-
and since the 930 club is a sick building, its just going to be sick all the way around!
-

-
$55 = sick

now if i can just get a plane ticket to Seattle with the remaining $37....

I want to go on Saturday night, but those tickets are not yet on sale. I wonder why? Do they think that perhaps they will only do the Sunday night show?
-
so devo tickets are $55.00?
ive heard that people in other cities have bought tickets to shows in usually "general admission" shows and then gotten there only to find out that the club had been divided into pit and regular. any word on if thats happening here?

Frequent Flier Miles, my friend. Got me free trips to San Francisco and Seattle this year, and I'm halfway to another free trip. Plus, my brother lives in Seattle so we have a free place to stay.
Get yerself a frequent flier membership. Hell, I've earned 4 or 5 free trips and I'm not really a frequent flier...

I have one, and i have never been able to use the fucking miles. US Airways, i hate em.
-
what frequent flyer program do you use?
-
Continental.
We've had to do weird things like book six months in advance or take trips that included changing flights, or weird hours, or only flying on certain days, or flying on parther airlines (Delta and Northwest...those don't show up on the Continental search...had to call and ask about them) etc, but have always found something. Only domestic flights though, no look on international flights.
My mom has USAir, and has been able to get free flights to Seattle and South Carolina (I imagine there's not much competition for that one). I think the USAIR partner is United.

yeah, maybe i just need to try harder. Problem with USAir is that i can get flights, just not the dates i want them. Its been a while since i just travelled for the hell of it. mostly its for shows or events and i cant just go the next weekend or whatever.
I have enough miles for a free RT ticket to Europe now!!!

There's a direct flight between Philadelphia and Barcelona with USAir, use your miles to go there. I have lots of miles with American Airlines, but the same happens there, impossible to find tickets the dates you want unless you do it six months in advance.

This is a message to the Owners/Managers/Ticket Pricers of 9:30!
Please lower the ticket prices of the DEVO concert I have been to a plenty o' concerts at your fine establishment, but have not had to pay $55 I have had to pay service charges but that I can deal with if Devo ticket prices are a bit lower so that students like me can afford to go and see a great event such as this!!
Thanks!

I am trying to remember what the ticket prices were when they played the old 9:30 club in the late 80s/early 90s. Thought at least $25. I think Eddie now has my ticket stub.
-
fuck this man.. i had to miss Devo when they played Central Park in 2004 by a mere few hours. Stellastarr and Yeah Yeah Yeahs were also on that bill.. would have been a good show. I did get into manhattan just in time to see Suicide at the knit that night though.. which owned my soul.
-
and the show at central park was only 35$!!!
-
i heard a rumor that devo was coming to 930 on August 13. idle chatter?

Wake up!

This will date me for sure but when I saw Devo at the Tower Theater in Philly on December 30, 1978 it cost $6.50 ! Duty Now For the Future, baby ! David Johansen was the opening act.
-
same here in detroit around the same time...

I think the club has to cover a guarantee and doesn't really have much control over the prices. You should contact Mothersbaugh and Co. Besides, it's 2005; the whole purpose of them touring is to make a quick buck. Don't give in. It's not the real thing anymore anyway.

Bumbershoot is great but to compare the 930 Club to an abridged arena show in Seattle is nuts. Actually my friend is flying from Seattle to DC for this one. Can't wait. Cheers, T
-
They only had a handful of good songs off of their two or three good albums from the early 80's. An abridged show should be perfect.

good thing the show wont be littered with casual fans then...
-
Every Devo album since 1981 has received less than three stars on allmusic.com. Are the critics that off?

When is the club going to book Deva (http://devallure.com/), the all-female Devo tribute band?

Devo did indeed lose steam mid-career, being jerked around by the record industry can do that. but uneven Devo records still outshine crapola by Smashmouth, Killers, and Olds 97. besides a bargin Devo show will most likely not include the films, etc the band will surely have at a club/theater show.
-
So isn't paying $55 probably about $35 too much given their 25 year slump?

So, anyone hear anything about Saturday the 13th of August?

I don't understand...if it's a show you wouldn't even consider going to, why do you care how much it costs? I don't go on and on about the apparent value of a Wilco or Robbie Fulks show...
