I'm there. Did anyone catch their show @ DC9 last year? Thoughts?
-
they rocked dc9
i just got some tickets - i had no idea they would sell out. bands i like need to stop getting famous.
anyone know what time they they go on? the 930 crew is slacking on their website updates.
-
With the Cold War Kids, I agree 100%, but probably for very different reasons...

I may go. I want to see Tokyo Police Club.
-
Turns out a guy I work with is in from New England and has two tickets, so I'll be there. Don't know either band...
-
just curious - but can someone tell me how much tickets were for this show? i might be buying some for the bowery, but 40$ seems ridiculously steep and im already seeing tokyo police club a few weeks down the line.
-
They were $15...I need 2 tix, definitely want to see Tokyo Police Club.
-
i think they were selling them for $15
-
finally scored two tickets last night so i'll be there for sure.
-
actually -- quick question...
what time should i get there to be on the safe side on getting a parking spot in the lot if i DON'T buy the parking pass in advance?
-
i might be wrong here, but i believe that if you didn't buy a pass you won't get a spot in any lot. there is street parking available. are you asking how early you need to be there to get street parking?
-
well, i know that 930 sells parking spots in their gated lot online for $10. but after the service fee and the rediculous pick up fee, it's $16 all said and done. i was under the impression that you can get a spot that hasn't been sold online on a first come, first serve basis -- their website even says so.
anyway, i was just curious, if all of that is true, how early i would have to show up...
-
Anyone have an extra ticket?

Glad to see GGW and Bearman got tix -- during Delta Force (I know, I know, Delta Spirit -- I like Delta Force better!), they were a mere four people away from each other.
I was up in the balcony. Not my normal spot, but I'm glad I was there -- all three bands were fascinating to watch. ALL had extra percussion (Delta had trash can tops and a big bass drum on its side that players would womp on; Tokyo had a snare for "outside the drum kit" womping; and Cold War started the show with the guitarist banging on a cymbal on a stool with a maraca). By the way, both Delta and Cold War drummers used a maraca as a drum stick for part of their sets.
I didn't know any of these bands, and it was a fascinating show. They all played with each other on certain songs in each set, and to some extent while the music of each band was different, their styles of playing meshed amazingly. Welcome the herky jerky guitar dancing!
While I'm not sure I'll love the albums from any or all of the bands, I loved the show. We'll see how I do with them on record.

I thoroughly enjoyed Tokyo Police Club. They looked a lot more comfortable with themselves than they did at last year's Black Cat show. The new songs sounded solid.
I knew nothing about the Cold War Kids. They were pretty good. I particularly enjoyed Saint John. But I kept getting this Walkmen-meet-311 vibe from them. They sound a little like they were in a jam band but decided to play four minute indie songs instead. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
-
Damn...I don't know what ggw looks like otherwise I would have said hello. Bags, I was looking for you! I have to say I enjoyed the show as well. It seemed like what Delta Spirit and Tokyo Police Club lacked in age and songwriting, they made up for in passion and spirit. Lots and lots of unbridled enthusiasm. Cold War Kids were good...likewise, I couldn't figure out their scruffy jam-band kind of image and how it played into their music, but for what it was I thought it was pretty good. The song where everyone got onstage to bang their drums, cymbals, etc. was really cool, and one of the more entertaining things I've seen in a long time. It's nice to see 3 bands in a row that are all really passionate about their music and put 100% into their performances. I'll be out of the country so I will miss the Stooges...I expect full reports outta all yous ;)

I yelled down at you from the balcony a few times, but you couldn't hear me.
I didn't think you and GGW knew each other, which is why I thought it funny y'all were right near each other.

I'm with you both on CWK. In the end, I enjoyed it, but am not sure I'll enjoy the album all that much. Onstage you got their energy, that I think added to the show and their songs.
The CWK guitarist kept reminding me of Jamiroquois.
-
Cold War Kids were horrible. I had to leave after the 3rd song. Too bad the bass and guitar players didn't put as much effort into playing good music as they did in jumping around on stage. Their stage presence was so distracting that I couldn't focus on the music at all.
-
The guitarist and bass player ARE indeed ridiculous and distracting. Proof? Check this clip from Jimmy Kimmel:

It looks like they are stomping grapes.
What is so appealing about these guys?!

Wow Kosmo. Stereotype much?
Other than the two songs with actual verses and choruses, I didn't enjoy them either.
I don't see what the big deal is.

It's ok to stereotype if you're hating on people of your own race!

As long as no one is criticizing DJ Charlie, I'm cool.
