Seth,
Any chance you can pull the Drive By Truckers in for a show sometime during their summer tour? Maybe late July as at least there are no shows announced after the 22nd of that month at the club.
Anyway, keep up the good work regardless.
-
They are playing here for free,if you don't mind a road trip: http://www.artsfestival.net/festivalcal.html (http://www.artsfestival.net/festivalcal.html)

I'll chime in with a questions of a different sort for Seth.
Has anyone ever seriously explored the possibility of selling a "season pass" to all shows for the 930? Would the club be willing to consider it?
-
I would like to request the Chemical Brothers.
And here's why in the form of a business case:
I'll bring 10 friends, buy some 9:30 swag & we'll drink lots of $5 beers.
win - win
-
Also, if you want to hike up to Bmore for the Truckers:
Sat 07/23/05 Baltimore, MD Artscape.
Of course, DC would be better.

Even better.....Corporate boxes!!!! :roll:

i will second the Chemical Brothers. no one wants to go to Nation to see them. its a guaranteed sell out. But I am sure Seth will be looking at booking them when they come back to the US.
-
The Chemical Brothers played the club in the past. IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW!!! Top 5 of all time for me (and that is out of maybe 1000 shows).
I would pay big to see them back at the club.

I bet you're a tough negotiator when buying a house or car or something......"Oh I love that car, it's all I've ever wanted, and my favourite colour....how much is it?"
-
After seeing the performance at Coachella, I say that the Chemical Brothers would put on a positively mind-blowing performance. One of my top 3 concerts of the year. They will blow the roof off the place. Especially if they open with "Hey Boy Hey Girl" again.
Superstar DJs...HERE WE GO!!

Car is a Saturn...
House, the day I looked at it they dropped the price $10,000. Hard to nickel and dime after that...

i think that would be a no. they never know who will be playing in a month or so. for bigger shows many fans would get screwed out of tickets. no one can go to every show and even if they would sell season passes they would cost a fuck load.
-
How about Gomez and Brazilian Girls at the club on 6/17 since the hippie fest is cancelled?
-
make that 2 nights at the club. easy easy sellouts. and trust me seth, if its nation, even a lot of diehard fans won't go after the chem bros last show there. nation is crap. their staff are wankers.
bring the boys home to the 930!

-

Did you catch them at the old club? That was quite interesting too. They had a live drummer that time.
On the 2 CD version of UF Off (think that is the title) they have "Little Fluffy Clouds" from the 9:30 club.

Hey Sith,
When you gonna book McRorie Tait (http://www.mcrorie.net/)?
-
How about the Zappa Plays Zappa (http://www.noblepr.co.uk/zappa/) tour?
-

no. i never got to go to the old club. i went to very few shows pre-97 (not because i was like 12 or anything... just didn't)

yep. it's from the july show, not the may show. the may performance of LFC was much closer to what the album version was.

Quote from Seth in Wash Post interview:
"According to Hurwitz, the topic of franchising the 9:30 nationally has come up on occasion, usually to be quickly shot down. "It's not a formula, not a method, it's an accumulation of personalities and values and attitudes that you cannot replicate somewhere else," he insists."
Seth, you are surely right about this. You have the best employees ever; great personalities and fun to hang out with, but also focused on doing their jobs well.
Even if the show stinks and the crowd's obnoxious - your employees treat us with respect, kindness, consideration and great humor!!! Without all the pieces of this puzzle, it just ain't gonna work. The 930 experience is a blast for reasons way beyond the groups playing on a particular night....and thanks for keeping the ticket prices "real" too!

7/29 in chicago http://www.subt.net/ (http://www.subt.net/)

What about Pepper?
or how about a super secret limited guest list AC/DC show. Just make sure I get one of the tickets.
-
So, with all of these great shows at Merriweather (Pixies & Wilco), any chance of another contest to win tickets? Come on Seth, I'm on a budget here!
-
should have gone to the show last night... they had a scavenger hunt with the prize being pixies lawn tickets..
-
That would've been nice...but that meant knowing that I *gulp* PAID to see the Killers! I'm not sure I could ever sleep again :eek:

The unanimous opinion seems to be that Maximo Park was the best part about last night's show. It'd be a shame if an opening spot for less talented bands was the only chance people in DC had to see them. Unfortunately, looking at their website, they're booked solid through the end of the European festival circuit, but it'd be great to see them at the club later in the summer or in the fall.

How about The Knack and The Romantics and add in Wreckless Eric for a little color
-
How about a slip as to when Pete Yorn is coming? :D
