I just noticed the show at the Black Cat has been cancelled on Jan. 31st.
Is the Show at Fletchers still on for this Friday? Have they cancelled all their US dates?
Help..
Please..
Must see them...
-
well shit. i have tickets for that show in Baltimore. better not be cancellin'
-
They were alive and well on Friday night, I can assure you. Not nearly as many models as they had in the video though, which was a little disappointing. No copies of the new album either, just the EP.
I overheard on Friday that their Boston gig was up in the air due to travel problems from getting from CA to the Snowy east. Perhaps the same is true for the Black Cat?
-
how were they smackie?
-
Emailed the US Booking people and the reply email said..
"Baltimore is happened"
hmm...ok.

I saw they announced they're opening for Ash at the Black Cat on Mar 5. Maybe they didn't want to play two gigs at the same venue a month apart.

I enjoyed them. They weren't awe-inspiring, but their diversity makes for an enjoyable show. Smackette really liked them, but then again, most of the girls there liked them.
I thought the lead singer tried a little too hard, but they do a nice job of not sounding too much like their influences, but enough like each one to let you know who they are (The Cure, U2, New Order/Joy Division). But it's so well mixed up that you don't get bored with it. A friend of mine described it as "Danceable Strokes," but I thought it was a litte better than that.
Well worth $10 either way.
-
The Bravery will be going on 2nd at Fletcher's so get there early...I was told that the closing band, karmella's game, will be going on around 11:30pm, so I guess everyone should get there by 10pm to be safe. It seems Fletcher's has been pushing their shows earlier & earlier, even on weekends.
-
Damn. I was looking forward to seeing them on the Backstage. I guess I will now be going to the Ash show.

what the hell? who told you the bravery werent headlining?? Karmellas Game is a bad local band (well not too bad, but still)
-
Karmella's Game told me, but then i was also just told that they (KG) are going on earlier than expected, so now i don't know what's up...
-
Any reviews of last night's Bravery show?
-
is "awesome" a good enough review?
-
Thanks...now I'm even more pissed I had to miss them...but I've already gotten my tickets to their BC show on 3/10. See you there!
-
f'ing Brilliant show..
Full of energy..sounded great live..and did an encore of INXS "don't change"
Didn't realize 2 of the guys are from around here. The lead singer's parents were in the audience.
The only thing I was disappointed about..no LP or EP..no merchandise..
I think they may even upstage Ash in March.
-
brilliant is the last words i would use to describe the Bravery. they were good. but absoltely nothing special or brilliant at all
worth $10 but really, it wasnt all that.
but they were trying really hard. so I'll give em that.
the crowd at Fletchers was kinda odd. mostly it looked like all the people who read the great write-up in Rolling Stone.
-
Bravery swag was given out after the show! Great stickers! See ya in March!
-
I thought the show at Fletcher's was awesome! You gotta give it to them: they have style, attitude, looks AND their music is incredibly fun! I can't wait until the Black Cat show. I wish they'd add in another Baltimore date. I didn't see anyone handing out free stuff...damnit!

Exactly how I felt, especially after seeing the Arcade Fire only days earlier. I was entertained, but not wow'd.
Worth every $ of $10, but nothing that I had to tell people about.
There are quite a few of bands with the look, the attitude and the fun sound that do it better than the Bravery. I felt the lead singer was tring a little too hard, which makes it more of an act. But I'll pick up a used copy of the album in time.
-
Okay, rather than hijack the Just Announced thread, tell me about these guys. Would I like them (for those of you who have an idea what I go for...)? Am I a complete loser because I don't know them? Are they big enough for a pre-sale? Are there MP3s out there, or better yet, some streaming album or whatever?
Thanks...
-
So many questions....
The Bravery are essentially a garage band whose sound has been synthesized. Not guitars w/ synths ala Killers, but the actual guitar sound has been fooled around with a bit. Catchy songs, played with just enough agression for them to warrant their black leather jacket look. Their 3 song EP is available to listen to on their website. There used to be mp3's hosted somewhere, which i've downloaded, but i forget where from. Some searching w/ google and you can probably still find them.
Def not loser for not knowing about them. Too many indie bands, so little time. Oh, and there is a presale going on that's available both through their email list and website.

I think you'd enjoy them. Most of the ladies seem to REALLY enjoy them. You can listen to their EP on their web site:
http://www.thebravery.com/ (http://www.thebravery.com/)
Top right corner launches the Bravery player.
You can also watch the new video for their single "An Honest Mistake" on the site. Their first video for "Unconditional" was better though, but mainly because it featured dozens of super models.
Their songs are catchy 80's style dance tunes.

You should go see Ash either way.
-
I've already got my Ash ticket -- missed the post that noted Bravery is opening. Cool -- though the 3 songs from the EP aren't sounding particularly inspired to me.

I need to get 2 ASh tickets...how much are they going for?? think it will sell out?
-
$10-12 - something like that
I think theres a decent chance there will be a Bravery-fuelled sellout

Yeah, The Bravery are going to have to win me over. I've now listened to a few songs and am not sure what I think of them. Will you be back in town for the show, Bags?
I think the show will sell out, Fico. Didn't Ash sell out on their own last time?
-
I'm definitely going to this show -- back in town, and I have two tickets in hand.
-
Looks like The Bravery are now headlining. From the Black Cat site:
THUR MAR 10- THE BRAVERY, ASH, THE CRIMEA $13 mainstage 8:30
-
thought the same thing, but the ad still lists Ash as the headliner along with their picture....
-
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:

I assume you can get tickets for the show via ticketmaster/tickets.com?
-
ticketmaster yes, don't know the availability..
-
is this going to sell out?
-
I'm to lazy to find the Ash thread on this show... And its pointless to start yet another thread for roll call purposes. So I present you the Faux Roll call thread.
So who is going tonight?
I'm there and Kosmette's going but grumping because Ash is playing so late.
-
Went to the show in Philly last night. Overall, I thought The Bravery were good, but not great. They have a lot of potential though and definitely worth seeing. Ash was fantastic! They covered most of the songs from Meltdown, three from Free All Angels and a few other songs from earlier releases. Crimea was awful, not worth seeing in my opinion.
-
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:

Do you know how late?
-
Late maybe relative... As Miss Marple points they will probably hit the stage around 11pm.
-
Originally posted by wxdude:

so they only played a few good songs then :D
-
Kosmette is considering staying home tonight... So I've got an extra ticket for sale if anyone wants it. PM for details... Should be at the BC around 8:45 tonight

If you are looking for or selling extra tickets, you can only post in the ticket x-change forum. All ticket requests posted in the main forum will be moved to the ticket x-change forum. Tickets can only be sold for face value in the ticket x-change forum.
-
but the ticket x-change is only for 9:30 shows :) plus with rank comes privledge.

8:45??? are you saying you won't watch the OC tonight?
-
what is this OC you are talking about...
sorry chaz but my dance card is full for the evening...
-
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:

it's a show called "Na terra dos Ricos" em Portugal...which means "the rich people's land"
they have this girl called Olivia Wilde who was raised in DC..although her real name is Olivia Cockburn...and she just made my top 5 celebrity fucks...along with Rachel Bilson, Kiera Knightley, Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron..Liam Gallagher is number 6 :p
oh wait I didn't answer your question...
-
I disagree on Ash -- I think they'll be on by 10:00. I think the website is correct and they've switched headliners. Of course I don't know for sure, but I think the Bravery would drive a sellout, and they've switched up. On that premise, Ash would be on around 10:00 and Bravery on around 11:00.
-
highly doubt they switched the bill... it was Ash 's tour to begin with they are the ones with the most records and will undoubtable want an encore and the longest set. It's not like the Bravery haven't been listed forever on the bill. The Bravery have maybe a 45 minute set. I'll feel ripped off and asking for a refund if Ash get an opener length set... :mad:
-
Well, I'm there at 10:00 either way. See you there! (And I fully defer to the wisdom of Kosmo....with all the buzz I'd been hearing, thogh, I wouldn't have been suprised as no one I know outside of this board knows Ash...)

Hey..if a band the size of Stereophonics opened a tour for Howie Day anything can happen...
-
At the show in Philly last night, The Bravery was second (played 9:15-10:00) and Ash played from 10:30 to 11:45. Probably will be much the same at the Black Cat. BTW, the older songs Ash played included Kung Fu, Goldfinger and Girl from Mars all of which were from the 1977 CD.
-
Alas, I am not going to make it to the show now. I'm stuck at the office trying to make some deadlines. Grrr.

the show is now sold out.

If anyone needs change for a dollar, Best Buy is selling Bravery promo CDs for $0.01 each.

I think this is so rich....from NME.com (especially since we had links here to the Bravery's first band, Skabba the Hut, in the Ash thread....)
IT'S THE KILLERS v THE BRAVERY!
BRANDON FLOWERS has branded THE BRAVERY as imitators of his band THE KILLERS.
Talking to MTV, the singer claimed that bands like The Bravery have only been signed on the back of The Killersâ?? success, and questioned the New Yorkersâ?? musical motivation.
"Look at a band like The Bravery. They're signed because we're a band," Flowers declared. "I've heard rumours about [members of] that band being in a different kind of band, and how do you defend that? If you say, 'My heart really belongs to what I'm doing now,' but you used to be in a ska band. I can see The Strokes play or Franz Ferdinand play and it's real, and I haven't gotten that from The Bravery. I think people will see through them."
Flowers also explained that fellow bands are not the only ones trying to benefit from The Killersâ?? success, revealing that the bandâ??s old drummer is now suing him.
The old sticksman wrote Flowers a "a really terrible e-mail" claiming to have written â??Mr Brightsideâ??.
"This guy who was in my band a long time ago is trying to sue us," he said. "We wrote 'Mr Brightside' a long, long time ago, when we had a different drummer. He had nothing to do with it, but his wife is a lawyer, so she just sent a letter to our lawyer. Wow. You always hear about people coming out of the woodwork once you get big, but this is ... wow."
The Killers are now planning a US tour, but have confirmed they have been working on new material.
"One new song is called 'Where Is She', it's got a great feel, some great harmonies on it. We didn't do enough harmonies on our first album, so you're gonna hear more of that on the second album â?? those Police-esque harmonies," Flowers explained. "And we're playing other new songs â?? 'Higher And Higher', 'Daddy's Eyes', 'It's Only Natural' â?? that will make it onto the second album. You can't drift too far off the first record, but these songs are what the new album will sound like. A bit more organic, with organs and pianos. We don't want to be 'that [synth] band' forever. We'll let someone else be that."
Additionally, the band play The Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals.
-
It's ok. A few years from now; we'll be talking about the Killers in the past tense.

I thought it was illegal to sell promos...?
Best Buy (and Circuit City) are selling the official release for $6.99 this week.
I think the album is wholly derivative. Whoever said it was a cross between the Strokes and New Order was right. That being said, it is quite catchy.
Except for that "Stop, drop and roll -- you're on fire" song.

It turns out that the drummer for the Killers was in a ska band too:

Also, both bands are on the same label and reportedly shared the same A&R guy and manager, which would lead one to believe that this "feud" may be nothing more than a publicity gig.

i've heard varying descriptions, two of the better ones:
a) a penis that is wider than it is long
b) the area between your asshole and your balls

oh, but it is ... where i grew up in florida that area was your taint, a chode was a dick wider than it was long, and chronic was just good weed ...
i guess other places chode means your taint and chronic means weed laced with coke.
go figure.
