It's been awhile since we've had one of these threads.  So without further ado.
 
 Could you please bring this show to DC.

big enough that they could sell out a three night stand easily at the 930 club.
 
 please, do not book them at nation, or lisner, or constition hall. that's just cruel!
 
 and if there was a forum presale (i know, presale is a dirty word, but if its just for forum members, then its not so dirty), that would be fantastic.

New Order in DC would be amazing. It's been years since they have played here...wasn't 1993 the last time? God, I would love to see them (I know, I know, everyone says they suck live, but check out the Finsbury Park 2002 DVD and maybe you'll reevaluate). I would just love to hear them do a few Joy Division songs. Of course, I'll get to see them at Coachella too, but a headlining set would be really amazing.

Post by: kosmo vinyl on March 02, 2005, 10:15:00 am
There is much buzz in blogland about the new New Order, and it's been forever since they have done  shows in the US.  I'd go because it's a great combination of two musical movements best artists.  But, in the end any from the DC area that would want to see them would head to NYC... I'll be looking for a ride in that case   ;)

And they could all play "Velouria" together...and it would be nice.  They could probably charge more if they had a Rivers v. Frank Black mud wrestling match between sets.  I'd love that, especially if Frank Black dressed like this:  Frank Black (http://www.centraldelcoleccionista.net/wwf/terremoto.jpg) , leaving Rivers with this:  Rivers (http://austinwm.club.fr/HTLM/Photos/I/IRS/IRS_-_Lawrence_Michael_Rotunda_03.jpg)

We don't have enough TourVote data on New Order to project attendance numbers, but what there is indicates a very hard-core fan base (i.e., a higher-than-normal likelihood that self-described fans will actually show up at the gate).

What would be neato is a Forum Mixtape Live show... Off the top of my head the line-up could be something like this.
 
 Washington Social Club
 The Features
 Splitsville
 Cartel
 De Novo Dahl
 Big Meanie
 Pharmacy Prophets
 Your Pal
 Dutch Cousins
 Honeychuck
 Abbey Vain
 Exit Clov (acoustic in the backbar)
 
 I'm sure there are other staph bands and local groups that have been overlooked, enough I'm sure for a sidestage show at DC9.
 
 Now in a perfect world, this show would be a kickoff for a Playtone Records Cavalcade of Stars style tour, called "Take Action Against Bad Music", for those band ready to hit the road.

Kosmo: That would be a dream line-up; and in the spirit of "local" - since they're fan favs, really great guys and creative musicians/lyricists - could we add Evenout and Justin Jones?

Are all these local bands?? I'm suprised Phaser, Carlsonics and Monopoli were left out..they seem to be well liked by the DC locals...
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: kosmo vinyl on March 03, 2005, 11:33:00 am
These are not all local bands, The Features & De Novo Dahl are from Nashville and Splitsville is from Baltimore. As I said the list was off the top of my head and does reflect what I like, but also what other forumites prefer.  I added The Features because they are a national band with a buzz they would draw in people that don't follow the local scene.  Plus, their CD is damn fine and getting better and better with repeated listens.  All the bands you mentioned were bouncing around in the cranium just not at the forefront.  It could easily become a two night festival when you start adding in those other bands as well as The Frauds, Starbelly and Cliff Hillis.

I had never heard of these guys, so I went to their website and found some quotes they have in their "press" section:
 
  The Washington Post (Washington DC)
 â??evenout is right on top of the hard-yet melodic rock wave thatâ??s dominating radio these daysâ?¦â?ť
 
 The Washington Times (Washington DC)
 â??evenoutâ??s sound is very much in tune with modern pop tastesâ?ť
 
 Charlottesville Hook (Charlottesville, VA)
 â??evenout is a harder-than-thou hard rock group, with the vocal kicks of a Chris Cornell prodigy, but also with some pop stylings to bring in the chicks.â?ť
 
 Guitar.com
 â??[Drown Inside] Produced by Steve Haigler (Fuel, Pixies), the band lays down some very radio friendly fare, which is probably why they're getting airplay on some of the mid-Atlantic's largest rock radio stationsâ?ť
 
 sounds right up my alley!
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on March 03, 2005, 03:09:00 pm
They're chick magnets, just like you, Guiny, and Sonick.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Bartelby on March 03, 2005, 05:49:00 pm
Yeah, but even chicks can hear.  
 
 Hoya:  You might like them; they do a HUGE range of stuff from love-lorn vocals with acoustic guitar only to some Velvet Revolver-sounding, heavy-on-the-drums rock. ..and they vary their setlists too depending on mood and venue.
 
 BTW:  I'm never totally grossed-out by bands - even if I don't like their sound - I still respect them for having the courage and vision to go for their dreams.  
 
 Of all the sour-pusses on this forum who HATE some bands, I'm always curious which posters can read music or play an instrument or sing.  It takes brass ones to stand up in front of an audience and perform; 'cause one is vulnerable to ridicule in so many ways.  I  have studied music, and play the guitar and flute and sang in various choruses and choirs - but I have HORRIBLE stage fright, so I really admire anyone who can do it.  Just my thought for the day...(No jokes about Jethro Tull cover bands either; but I'm still lookin' for one...)

I would like you to get The Panic Channel for the 9:30 when the get around to tour. They would rock the place out. Also, get lots of good show for Merryweather this years to show "those" people that they should leave the place like it is.

i was there in 03 and i thought the sound wasn't very good.  i am sure it's better than basketball arenas, but i wasn't at all impressed with the place when i went.  i've never been to bender, i loathe DAR and i haven't been to the patriot center in years.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: bearman🐻 on March 15, 2005, 05:54:00 pm
Guess I have a lot of fond memories of the Aragon, and I'm a sucker for any place that makes you feel like you're at a rock show in Morocco. The turrets are very cool, and if you know where to stand sound isn't an issue. The Pixies were great there, I had plenty of room around me even though the shows were sold out. The Aragon certainly was an awesome venue for other bands I've seen like Sugar and Catherine Wheel. Sugar in particular were great at killing the sludgy sound quality.
 
 However, the Aragon and the Beastie Boys are responsible for making my ears ring for four days straight back in 1992. The bass was just unreal...back then it was a horrible place to see a show. But they have done wonders to change that overall.

Yeah...the only show I saw there was in 93 (primus and the melvins). The sound really WAS horrible (same as DAR, maybe worse). I'd be interested in hearing how they made it better. Did they tear the place down and rebuild from scratch?
 
 My grandmother used to go to dances there, btw...when it really was a ballroom.

The Aragon certainly was an awesome venue for other bands I've seen like Sugar and Catherine Wheel. Sugar in particular were great at killing the sludgy sound quality.

Basically it boils down to putting some gigantic sound-absorbing mats towards the ceiling. The 9:30 Club did something similar when they moved in. Primus (whose sound emphasizes bass) in 1993 would have been awful, much like the Beastie Boys were. Too much reverberation and even with a packed house the bodies can't absorb it all. I won't say the Aragon is perfect, but it's such a dramatic improvement that regular concert-goers in Chicago noticed the changes immediately. I am a huge fan of the old theaters...the Warfield in SF, the Aragon and Riviera in Chicago, etc. There's a lot of character and even though the acoustics aren't always pristine, it's still more interesting than a hockey rink or something like that. Even Kim Deal commented on how cool it was to play a venue that had so much character. My favorite thing about the Aragon though is the day care center on the first floor :-) I wonder how the kids managed to nap when the Pixies were sound checking through "Tame".

Hey Seth Part Deux...
 
 I see the New York Dolls are doing more shows... Any chance they'll be touring outside of the Big Apple?
 
 And since I'm feeling nostalgic any rumblings about a Stooges tour?  I was going to the Motown show until someone in Ohio pulled the plug a few summers ago.

From weezer.com
 
 ...getting many many questions about possible other tour dates not seen in the current confirmed tours. The basic answer for both North America and the rest of the world is "YES", more tour dates are currently being planned, and they will be announced when known. But there is no solid info as to where specifically the shows will be at this point, so your questions about your city or country cannot be answered at this point.

Hey Seth,
 
 What's the deal with tickets for some shows (specifically, Bright Eyes and Snow Patrol) going on sale at Tickets.com before they are announced on the main 9:30 site?
 
 Is this a band decision? Or, a club decision?  If it is the latter, what is the thinking behind it?
 
 Thanks.

we don't just put everything on sale as soon as it's booked or it would just be too much
 
 but sometimes the bands ask us to get it going before we have our onsale so they can offer it to their fan clubs etc

 Hey Seth, when are you going to book that Metal Chicken band?  I've seen their video many times on TV of late...they're sort of a cross between Slayer & Gwar.  I'm not sure of the name of the song, but it's something like 'chicken fingers'.  I suspect all the bboard metalheads already know it.

I would probably skip them if it was $50.
 
   they will probably come around eventually, either this winter or next spring anyway.
 
    I doubt it would sell out for that much money.
 
 edit: but then again, I have seen them more than 10 times so perhaps its not too much for some.(seeing other responses)

Didn't Fatboy Slim sell out at $35 or $40 earlier this year? I'd think Chemical Bros. with a much smaller tour and rare-r appearences would command $10-$15 more per ticket.

I think it's a close call... the tickets for the Ultra New York thingy are $55 with fees in the presale and they have Oakenfold, Tenaglia and Morillo on the bill too....That *is* 5,000 capacity, but I'm surprised it hasn't sold out yet. If it's on a weekend, perhaps enough people would be willing to pay that amount(all presuming its a live show - not a DJ set of course). Personally though, if I had to choose...I would skip a DC show and see them in NY.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: bearman🐻 on August 02, 2005, 09:58:00 am
Seth, book away...do it up. You'll sell the place out, make the band happy, and make yourself happy. Most of all, you'll make other people (who have the money) happy. Nobody has to spend the dough if they don't want to. But methinks to see them at the 9:30, plenty of people will.

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: bearman🐻 on August 02, 2005, 10:44:00 am
I can see people paying $50 (I think Seth said $50-$55)...that is definitely the upper end of the scale that I think most die-hard fans would want to pay. But I still think there are enough people who will pay that much to make it worthwhile for the band and for the club. If it doesn't sell out, it will come very close to it. Seeing the Chemical Brothers at Coachella this year was easily the best thing that whole weekend, and it would be pretty mind blowing to see them back at the 9:30.

Everyone probably knows that I'd be so friggin' game for Echo...especially if they play "Do It Clean" this time. That has been dropped from the setlist for the past few years sadly. And as long as Ian doesn't pull an HFStival on us. Makes me appreciate all the more that I saw them do such a great show in Philly earlier this year.

Meanwhile I'd LOVE them to be here on a Friday or Saturday...I haven't seen them since a show at Nation several years back.  And I want to enjoy, have some cocktails, sing loudly....and yes, we must get "Do It Clean" back on the setlist, dammit!!  Actually, a focus on Crocodiles and Porcupine generally would thrill me to no end (The Cutter, Rescue...very important songs!).   ;)

yeah, i agree. $50 for a show is really really too much as a base price. even oakenfold hasn't charged over $40 for his 930 shows. i think the show at nation a few years ago was $25 or $30, but i don't remember exactly.

Maybe a $60 ticket price will keep the 'Chemical Brothers' from becoming just a social occasion. That is worth the extra cash.

I'm willing to make a trade. See Best Week Ever thread, that's where I'll be.
 
 Regarding the chicken band...too much of a reminder of the freaky online BK Chicken Guy. Please no, don't give these chickens a tour.

i would totally love to see them here in dc! they might not be able to make a sizeable dent at the club capacity though and be better off playing the black cat. but for their music, i think it would sound much better at the 930.

you dont think?  if you got some other talent to come along, perhaps make an event out of it, you could certainly sell a good amount of tickets. especially if it was a one off show (as is seems to be the case here)

They usually have a lot of stuff to look at. At Coachella it was probably one of the best visual presentations I've ever seen. Very bombastic. When they opened with "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" the place just exploded. It was incredible. Probably one of the most memorable moments at a concert, you just simply had to be there to believe it.

Since all the kool kidz are asking for reunited band , I'll toss my hat in the ring for The dBs!  New song on the bands website.  http://www.thedbsonline.net/ (http://www.thedbsonline.net/)  It dosen't get much better than "Ampilifier" "Working For Someone Else", "Spy in the House of Love", etc... Heck even Charlie might go out for this one   :D
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: sonickteam2 on September 13, 2005, 03:30:00 pm
I would like to add this to the Hey Seth thread, even though it was gone over in the FAQ.
 
  Apparently you can buy tickets to Sonar shows at the 930 club box office, but not vice versa.
 
   i think this should definitely be looked into. I know I for one, decline going to many many 930 shows because i dont want to pay $76.50 for 3 $20 concert tickets.  and with the price of gas, its hardly cheaper to drive down there.
 
   since Sonar and 930 are related, i think it would be great to offer 930 tickets in Baltimore with the $1 service charge.  Especially because there is NO tickets.com outlet in Baltimore period.
Title: Re: Hey Seth

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: kosmo vinyl on September 20, 2005, 07:57:00 am
my thoughts exactly... historically the moderators here have been hands off, on the rarest of occasions removing the odd thread or post, setting ground rules, etc.  what you are asking for is that someone to  come aboard and moderate the forum to your liking.  if what you find here troubles you so, why come back?  is it that hard to just scroll past posts that bother you?  
 
 this forum has been around since 1997 and for the most part self moderating.  it is also one of the best music oriented forums i've found, which is why i'm here on a daily basis.  most forums i've checked out make my head explode.  the regulars here are well informed about a wide variety of music, the discussion is intelligent and witty.  
 
 yes it can get catty and sucks is tossed about on a farily regular basis.  non musical topics appear and disappear quickly, but without some diversion this forum would get stale.  
 
 i'm glad the forum is lively, there was a period when the forum would  only have one or two posts on a daily basis.

Do you honestly think this board should be self-policeing?
 
 When a certain pretty but naive 15-year old girl posted her photo on this website, a woman would have been tuned to the fact that this is a major internet NO-NO for kids...and immediately deleted it...and yes, there are a few threads that are wayyyyy beyond appropriate that should be deleted.

Apparently they changed singers again since the album was cut but the touring singer also plays saxaphone. It should be interesting. The new album is great. Not so much downtempo or trip-hop. They are evolving a bit.

did someone just use the word "thy" in a phrase and then whine about being condescended to?  pretty funny.
 
 i personally think it would be hilarious to listen in on a conversation about fisting in galileo.  in fact, it might make the night.
 
 as for my 15 year old daughter, her existence would be more shocking to me than her activity on the internet.  but that would probably be because i would anticipate the reality of the internet in her life and deal with it.  censorship doesn't protect kids.  the law says kids can't drink until 21, but most have been wasted by 13.  how many boys under 18 have had porn under their mattresses through the decades notwithstanding laws to keep it out of their hands?  i'd be more worried about teaching my kid how to handle herself under certain circumstances than trying to keep the circumstances away from her, because while the former is no doubt very hard, the latter is impossible.
 
 that's just general commentary.  i can't speak to a specific incident that may have happened on this or any other site that i don't know about.  but it sounds like if something did happen, the gentlemen took care of it.
 
 finally, i'll admit any day that i am a bit precious when it comes to the first amendment.  hell, that's something i'd go to war about if it were threatened.

...thanks for booking local bands for the next few weekends.  It's lots of fun for FOBs and fans - and the bands are really digging it 'cause 930 is still the "gold standard" of venues.

Definitely a nice idea. Or on a Sat. night? Also if doors could open slightly earlier? (Not rush hour, just 9 pm doors? I'm old.  :D  )
 
 I still would like to see a miles per dollar spent method. Tough to implement, I know. But it might make people keep quiet about service charges.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Jaguar on January 25, 2006, 03:44:00 pm
As much as I like the idea of a regular local band showcase thing, I do not at all like it monopolizing any weekend night. (No pun intended.) That would just cut into seeing nationals way too much when they tour and we are lucky enough to get a weekend date along with hurting those who can't really make it out to a club on work/school nights.
 
 Take them as they fit into the schedule is what I say.
 
 This would also put a lot more of the old club flavor back into the 9:30 Club.
 
 As far as door times, I think they are perfect as they are. Couldn't ask for anything better when you are trying to balance out so many other factors.

Defintely a good point. Okay, scratch my idea. As it is, I don't get to see national acts during the week either.
 I concur, it would bring back some old 9:30 flava.

Post by: kookiemnstr8 on January 25, 2006, 08:40:00 pm
Being too young to remember the old club flavor, I feel like I would have loved it.
 
 I think the Army of Me show was scheduled before a show with late doors, maybe that could keep happening?
 
 I don't want it to take precedence over touring acts, but I think it would be awesome to fit local nights in whenever they could be.

Nope, the term officially used was "hiatus".  In fact, two of the band members play on Rob's new solo album.

Catherine Wheel as we knew them from the past are over. Rob is more like one of the Wheel's cogs.
 
 50 Ft. Monster is another Catherine Wheel off-shoot band but I haven't seen any tours happening for them yet.
 
 Rob's work is kind of to Catherine Wheel as Richard Ashcroft's work compared to The Verve. 50 Ft. Monster is the more rocking side while Rob's is a little more ballady. While I like them both, neither come anywhere close to good old Catherine Wheel.
 
 I was hopeful the other day when I saw Rob working his way east. Hope he plays somewhere either in Baltimore or DC.

Any chance of Editors having a DC show this spring? They're playing Webster Hall in NYC on March 30th and seem to have a big block of dates open after that.

I second this request. [Hearsay Alert] I've heard the Black Cat is trying to book them.

Third that request.
 
 They are too big for Black Cat.  They could easily sell-out the 9:30

I agree, especially if you put them on with an opener who might fill up a few holes.

 I'd much rather have the last two bands without the third, but I will take what I can get happily.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Seth Hurwitz on April 23, 2006, 09:31:00 am

 problem is that Black Crowes were already booked in this area (All Good Festival) before package was formed, excluding other plays
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Summerteeth on April 23, 2006, 12:04:00 pm
Thanks alot Seth.
 
 Just to throw out a possibility.  It seems DBT and Randolph are willing to play alone.  Would it be feasible business-wise for the two of them to play Merriweather.
 
 It seems they would draw a crowd not unlike the size of the Roots/Wilco show last year.
 
 Regardless, thanks again.

Two asides:
 
 - They Might Be Giants tonight said 9:30 Club is their favorite place.  Okay, lots of bands say that, but they called out the staff who runs it, saying "in an industry full of weirdos and mean people, the people who run this club are almost downright civilized."

Yeah, we ladies are hooked on hooks.
 
 Now, if we could just get them at Merriweather. (Unless they have already been installed since I was there.)

Hey Seth,
 
 How about a DC date for the acoustic Foo Fighters / Frank Black tour?
 
 The Foo Fighters much anticipated Acoustic Tour kicks off this July! Seven US dates have been announced at intimate venues across the country! A special 8-piece line-up will perform the live premiere of songs from disc 2 of In Your Honor as well as unique interpretations of favorites from the band's entire catalogue.
 
 Joining the band on the second installment of the In Your Honor Tour are special guests Petra Haden on Violin, Rami Jaffee on Keyboards, Drew Hester on percussion and former Foo Fighter Pat Smear on Guitar! Opening acts for these shows will be Timmy Curran in July and Frank Black in August.

Where did you hear about the DC date? The list of dates I've seen don't include DC (at least not yet). East coast dates included Boston, NYC, Chicago, and Philly. I'd love a DC date, and would be even happier with the show at the 930.

I can't be specific, but a friend knows a local DJ who knew all about the last few Foo DC shows.  And it makes sense -- you really think Grohl would skip over DC?

I can't be specific, but a friend knows a local DJ who knew all about the last few Foo DC shows.  And it makes sense -- you really think Grohl would skip over DC? [/b]
Please, oh please, don't let it be another radio-giveaway-only ticket process.  I don't think I can listen to that much DC101 again so soon.

Mrs. Chaz and I went to see Iggy at the club together about a week before her due date with our first.  Good times.....never forget it.  A really happy memory of a great show and us being excited for our little bundle of joy.
 
 Friends that worked at the club at the time made sure we got to sit in the vip area so she wasn't on her feet the whole time.  
 
 But really, what's the big deal about going to a show a week before due date?  Esp. if Mrs. Brennser is ok with it???
 
 Rhett, your notion of like stopping when the parenting begins is pretty funny.  And that's all I'll say about that.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on June 15, 2006, 03:49:00 pm
At nine months, I reckon I'll be bending over backward to please my wife. I know that going to a concert alone (or with her) would not please my wife at that point.
 
 Like I said, if it pleases Mrs. Brennser go right ahead. Viva la difference, I guess.

yea seth, can you make this happen?  there was a small group of fans last night that were led into the club through the backbar and the lady there said we would be able to get our stubs back after the show but they apparently ran out by the time i got to the front door.

Seth wants to be sure that everybody that was at the show who wants a stub knows that in order to get a stub just stop by the box office while it is open and we can give you one.  Also,  if you are from further afield and it would be easier,  just SASE us and we will send you one.  Dig?

no no no, please no warner theater. that was definitely my least favorite dylan show of the past five years. if i'm gonna pay $75, i'd rather see him at the club and not at one of those "should i stand, should i sit, well that person's standing, so maybe i'll stand, but everyone behind me is sitting, fuck, i don't know what i should do" places.

Well...I don't remember anything like that going on around me last time.  I do, however, remember the club being insanely crowded and uncomfortable.  Both shows were fun, but I definitely had a better experience at The Warner. <shrug>

hey seth you gotta get those front fills working consistantly at the 930.  gus says he leaves it up to each band to turn them on.  they should always be on.  they should be bigger.  or maybe angle the lower main stacks more toward the front of the floor.  if you are up front the vocals and any instruments not close by can barely be heard.  thx for your consideration.

Nice work.  If I can be of any assitance, please don't hesitate to ask.  I still have some relations with the Germans and the French, and their assitance in a UN peace keeping force in southern Lebanon is essential to maintain the cease fire and control Hezbollah.
 
 After that's in place, you can turn your attention back to dismantling Iran's nuclear program.  I'm sure you were very close before these silly "distractions" like "hey, can we have sparklehorse at the 9:30??!?"

Nice work.  If I can be of any assitance, please don't hesitate to ask.  I still have some relations with the Germans and the French, and their assitance in a UN peace keeping force in southern Lebanon is essential to maintain the cease fire and control Hezbollah.
 
 After that's in place, you can turn your attention back to dismantling Iran's nuclear program.  I'm sure you were very close before these silly "distractions" like "hey, can we have sparklehorse at the 9:30??!?" [/b]
personally, i'd rather see Sparklehorse than worry about all that Lebanon crap and what not.   come on, we're all getting nuked  one day anyway, can we at LEAST see some Sparklehorse before we go????

Any chance you can get The Mars Volta to play on  10/24 when they're heading south to GA from PA (esp. since they're staying up north when RHCP comes to Pimlico)?  While I'm here, I'll also 2nd the Muse request.

You wouldn't happen to know where they are going to park their unguarded van chocked full of expensive goodies while they're sleeping here in DC/MD?!?

I would seriously love it for placebo to come play in November or December. I know that for most of the fall they're playing with she wants revenge. However, they aren't playing here with SWR though. I'll even wait until the new year to see them. I just think it would be totally rad to finally get to see them.

Hey Seth,
 
 How come my friendly neighborhood Ticketmaster outlet wouldn't sell me a Virgin Festival parking pass?  They told me I either have to do it online (and pay the minimum $14.50 shipping!!!) or buy it at the box office (not terribly convenient, plus I'd kind of like to have the pass in my hands before we get there on Saturday...)

 Take a look at Placebo's current tour plans, and realize their album came out awhile ago, the current US tour plans are already ambitious due to the relatively lack of sales stateside and the limited resources of their US distributor/label, bottom line is that Seth isn't a miracle worker so I'd suggest you make a road trip if you really want to see Placebo, because after the winter euro dates I think you'll be shit out of luck til next album for any US dates.  
 
 Muse is a better possibility, likely for the late winter/early spring.  
 
 Just my humble opinion.

The Dears have already got an Dec 05 show already listed on Ticketmaster. It'd be great to have a DC show at the 930. And while we're at it, why not another show at Sonar?

I don't know what you are talking about. Where are you getting your information? Ticketmaster.com doesn't list anything for The Dears on December 5th. They list one date at the Troubador in CA in October and three dates in Canada. After a couple dates in California, they're touring Europe and then Canada and then they're coming back to the US. The US leg of the tour has not yet been announced and is presumably still being booked.

No, I don't think so. Not in the US anyway. They weren't too big for the club when they opened for The Soundtrack of Our Lives last year. And stole the show, I would add.

LA != DC, thank God. Joe, make up your mind. Are they too big for the 9:30 Club or are they too small for the 9:30 Club? Or do you just have something against them and don't want them to play the 9:30 Club?  ;)

Ah, Darth Ed...I humbly apologize. You are correct. I take back my snarkiness.
 
 FWIW - TM *did* list a Vancouver date for Nov 27 but then dropped it. But now it's on the actual Dears site. It all kinda makes sense...they go east to west through Canada in November and work their way back through the States in Dec in time for their traditional Christmas-week gigs in Montreal.

Pollstar "The Rolling Stones have confirmed a pair of late-October concerts at New York City's Beacon Theatre."
 If they are playing the Beacon, can you get them to come a little further down the coast for a 9:30 show?
 I haven't seen them since the Cap Center in 1981, but the idea of seeing them at the club would be very exciting.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: TheDirector217 on September 29, 2006, 03:32:00 pm
If my info is correct, those Beacon Theater shows are invite only for Pres. Clinton's 60th birthday.  Besides, they're charging $400+ for front row seats on their tour right now.  So I can only imagine what 9:30 seats would go for.  I should know.  Im going to see 'em in AC.    :D  For my 3rd show in the tour in about a year.  (D.C., Baltimore, now A.C.)  And yes, you hipster fucks biased toward anything remotely mainstream (not all of you), it is worth it.  I'll take their catalog over any of your Village Voice adored bands any day of the week.  
 
 Rolling Stones>>>>Be Your Own Pet, TV On The Radio (they are good, though), or any other lil' indie/hipster band you & SPIN magazine are love with this month
 
 Mick Jagger is the greatest frontman of all time.  Period.  End of discussion.  (I'll give you Robert Plant, but not anything else.  Not even Bono. Much as it hurts me to admit that.)
 
 So with all that said, book 'em Seth.  1500 seats??? @ $275 a pop makes for a 100K+ take each Mick & the boys (before Lisa Fischer, Darryl Jones and 'em get broke off of course.)  For that much, even $300 - I'm there.  Even though I got raped for $250 at Virgin Festival for those VIP seats.  More on that later . . . (On a positive note, thanks for booking The Who, Seth.  That was some priceless shit.)

yeah i'd definitely like to see squarepusher.  i had big plans to see the squarepusher/plaid tour in 01, but that got screwed up when squarepusher dropped the tour.
 04 the tour schedule conflicted with my cross-country drive.
 
 new album = tour? i hope there's at least a dc date if it's not @ 930.
 
 the orb @ 930 again would be good definitely.

oh, and i know it's probably never going to happen again, but:  aphex twin.
 
 that was probably one of the most fun shows i've been to at the club, even if i did work 10 hours that day, then drove 2 hours up there for doors at... 11:30(?), then got home around 6-7 or so..

Another vote for squarepusher. I've probably said this on a couple other threads already but it bares repeating.  His new album is one of the best of the year. It's my favorite since  "Music Is Rotted..."

seth - an opportunity to bask in the sounds of Daft Punk would be utterly delightful.  they might be too big for the club (not that i would complain!) but would make a fine addition to, say, an outdoor festival... (adding squarepusher and/or aphex twin would make the bill irresistable)

 We've been through this already very recently (http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=004729;p=190). They played The Ottobar in Baltimore on Nov. 10th, 2003 and DC the night after.
 
 Regardless, Explosions In The Sky would be a nice treat.
 
 Snail booked Eluvium about 2 years ago. Think it was in April. He opened for MONO. That was a great night! (But mostly because of MONO.)

yeah, i saw eluvium open for mono way back in april '05.
 
 sorry to burst your bubble, but eits did not play DC the night after they played the ottobar.  they played first unitarian in philly the following night and in NYC the night before.
 the closest date to DC on that tour was @ JMU in harrisonburg.  if there was a dc date, i would have gone.  i went to both the show at go! room 4 in chapel hill and the show in harrisonburg.
 
 i would have gone to baltimore and philly on that tour as well, but i had some things that kept me from being able to do so.
 
 seriously, the last dc show was 10/05/01 @ the black cat.  i keep telling them they need to play dc again.  hoping for it on this tour.  930 would be great.  i'd really like to see them again in a situation that could close to matching the first time i saw them sound-wise.

i've seen them plenty, it's alright.
 "just up the road" if you live in dc, but i don't live in dc.  i caught them in baltimore in 02 and 04 though.
 
 ..and i'm seeing them 2x in feb in NYC.
 but hey, when's really too much?
 
 ..seriously, though trust me on the no dc thing.  i've been archiving their tour dates and stuff for years.  i got an email from them asking me for a list a while back, so.. hehe

it's prettymuch always a given that i'm driving ~2hrs or ~100 miles for a show... i prefer that be the limit, but i go farther when i have to (or really want to).
 
 when a band skips dc, i'm pissed because i haven't drive EVEN FARTHER.. not because i can't just hop on the metro or drive across town or whatever.

yup i'm a dude, but i cry like a little girl when i don't get what i want (hear that seth?!?).  i can't say those acts are the edgiest/cred'iest out there, but i'm sure their live shows would kick ass (and sell a lot of tickets).
 
 julian, if we can't figure out the NJ vs. VT thing, we could always run off to canada... although i foresee probs with our relationship already.  i can't agree with you (http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=009325;p=13#000484), yet you're allowed agreeing with me...  but thanks for the offer   :p

Any chance for a solo Jeff Tweedy show after his Charlottesville date at the end of Jan.(which is the last stop on his tour)?  That show sold out quickly, so there is obviously more demand in the area, and I think the last solo Tweedy show around these parts was in 2001.

 Can I make a request-would it be possible for them to always do an end of year show? I'm guessing 4 nights in a row next year might not be possible, but at least 1 or 2 shows. Start making it an annual event of sorts!

I'll third the Nada Surf idea. One of my favorite bands...though unless they have a new album coming out, I would think they might ba better match for the Black Cat.

There's a slighter costlier solution to all these wish lists but perhaps a bit more practical and would at least get you out of DC for a couple of days is attending  the second weekend of ATP this year which is essentially curated by us, the fans by voting on our favorites with Barry and Helen going out with bids.  
 
 A ton of faves are unavailable (Arcade Fire, PJ Harvey, Shins, and Sonic Youth for example, but others such as Modest Mouse, Sparklehorse, Shellac, The Books, etc have agreed to play).

Just pointing people to an alternative direction to send their wish lists and focus their angst, because as responsive as Seth is/has been there seems to be a tooth fairy-esk quality to this thread and at least with ATP they have a marginally better chance of their wishes coming true.  Shoot me.

Hey Seth... according to the Pogues website, they're touring NY, Boston, Philly and Chicago in March 2007.  Any chance you could bring 'em back to DC? The 2 shows at the Club last year were outstanding and while I do not mind one bit getting on a plane to see the Pogues, I would love 2 more DC shows too!
 
 Pretty please???
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: bnyced0 on January 14, 2007, 10:43:00 pm
OK, I'll stop bucking the trend and put in my own request,  if info below is reliable then perhaps in addition to a  Coachella appearance she could make a pit stop the capital as well?  930 would be nice but any IMP venue would do the trick.

Hey Seth - Could you get something like this setup for us boardies at future shows?  Thanks.
 
 Justin Timberlake Dell Lounge VIP Bar Stools
 
 Here is your chance to feel like you are part of the show! Rest your drink on Justin's stage. A private bar is incorporated into the stage, and your bar stool is a front row floor seat where you will find yourself right in the center of the action. Don't miss your opportunity to be a part of Justin's FutureSex/LoveShow tour!
 
 Tickets $504 via Ticketmaster.
Title: Re: Hey Seth

actually, chutney has touched on something that i've never understood: the club's VIP section is, at certain show, just about empty while the rest of the place is packed.  for certain shows i'd be willing to poney up extra bucks to get a spot in there.  i think it's a shame that some of the best real estate goes unused, such a waste.  co-branding is optional.

 Or if a band is playing multiple nights, it'd be awesome if we could buy combo ticket for both nights that might save us a few bucks. That is probably not feasible though.

Hey Seth,
 
    My wife has accompanied me to numerous alt-country shows that she was at best lukewarm about seeing. Now she is pregnant and due in June, and we'll be going into hibernation for awhile after that. Thus, it would be great to have one show to see that she'd be excited about before our hibernation.
 
    It's not often that she is impressed by a new artist, but Amy Winehouse is one that she is impressed with. Amy appears to have some blank spots on her schedule...5/4, 5/5, 5/10, 5/11. Can you get her at the Club? . Heck, the first two dates are even on my 40th birthday weekend.
 
    I guess an early, seated show might be too much to wish for (because we are pregant and old, repspectively), but since I was wishing...

hey seth - a suggestion for the side balconies: please consider putting another tier of risers (steps, platform, whatever) along the side walls.  on the side balconies during a packed show there is always about 3-4 feet of empty (unused) space between the wall and the backs of the first people along the edge of the upper tier.  those 3-4 feet are unusable b/c you can't see squat.  adding another tier along the wall would make part of that space usable again and afford a few more patrons a decent line of sight.  just a thought.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: eltee on March 05, 2007, 01:37:00 pm
I'll agree, since I'd like to see when I'm stuck back there, yet, wouldn't it be a little packed? (It's already tough enough to squeeze between the center rail and wall.) It might be hard for people, staph, etc. to get by and I wonder about fire code. Again, I'm all about more options to see a show, so maybe I'm not seeing the "vision".  ;) .

i wasn't recommending anything for the center rail (i.e. above the soundboard) - as you pointed out, it's already packed in enough as it is.  i was talking about the sides.  currently there are 3 tiers.  i'm calling for a fourth, against the wall.
 
 chutney: eh, what ya gonna do.  indeed, unless i'm against the rail i expect to bob and weave for a line of sight between people's heads.  same thing with being more than 10 feet away from the stage on the floor - some tall person is bound to block my view there too.

Okay, apparently I don't know how to use this board properly, but I wanted to say that the 3 to 4 feet of empty space that Sweetcell is referring to on the upstairs balconies is actually neccessary to axis our fire exits.  Putting another step-up there would not pass code and wouldn't be too safe four the club's patrons.
 
 Nice idea though.

 Southern Culture on the Skids is playing at Recher in Towson on 5/18. Any chance of a DC show? I know they don't draw enough on their own to fill up the 9:30 and usually open for someone... maybe you can pair 'em up with some like-minded souls? Or a midweek show?
 
 I just hate going to Recher... and coming home is even worse!  What a haul!

Realistically, i don't think they would play 930. Their tour set is a huge pyramid with a gigantic LED Screen behind the pyramid and then like 2/3 of a wall/fence in front of the pyramid. I think 930s stage is way to small to hold their set alone.
 
 That aside, i second this notion either way! Daft Punk would be the greatest show ever to hit 930. I stand by that statement confidently!

Thanks for bringing such a great festival to the Baltimore/Washington area!  Vfest looks great already, I surely will be there!  I would second Modest Mouse and Daft Punk and add in Girl Talk since he seems to be doing the festival circuit, especially if you plan on having the techno/club tent again.  Im sure it conflicts with a noise ordinance, but would it be possible to run the club tent past the end of the headliner?  I think that would be a fun place to go after the other performances end.

And how about more minimal techno/electro/techhouse and downtempo and less trance in said dance tent?

Hey Seth,
 
 I know my suggestions will probably be a lot different that everyone else, but...
 
 Another night for 3eb, they have an empty date between their Ram's Head and 9:30?
 
 Honda Civic Tour will be in the area June 4th, but they aren't playing on June 3rd.  Cobra Starship was awesome at the Cartel show, and getting them back to the club might be a lot of fun.  (Similiar to how Ram's Head booked Akon despite the Gwen Stefani Tour).  Could team them with their labelmates The Hush Sound who have a very decent draw and haven't played the DC area in a while despite touring with bigger bands.
 
 Just some thoughts, thanks!

 Separately, I'm hoping Nickel Creek is coming back to DC before their final hiatus. Thus far,  they have dates scheduled across the country (openers include Tift Merritt, Jon Brion and Glen Phillips). Once they make their way east, if they could be scheduled at the  9:30 , that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Seth, I just sat here with my mom trying to find her tickets to see Tony Bennett...If he comes back to town can you see if he'll do a show at 9:30? Oh, and another very special request from her - Bonnie Raitt at 9:30? Please and thanks.

 how soon can we expect a line-up announcement for VFest?  
 
 if you are holding back b/c it's not entirely confirmed, may i suggest releasing a few "big names" that are definites to entice the punters?
 
 as crazy as it sounds, some people (yours truly included) are soon to decide about plans for that weekend.  i recognize that i'm not the average concert-goer, but choices are being made...
 
 p.s. i just read a little about hawtin's live shows... they sound incredible, marvels of modern technology.  please please please see what y'all can do about bringing him to the club!  a dj set would also do quite nicely if the live thing is too big a production.

stupid question.  i have only been to a couple of 930 shows this yr.  a couple of yrs ago you put the front fill speakers in so the people up front can hear the vocals.  almost everytime i am at the 930 those spkrs are not on.  gus always sez it is up the soundman with each band to turn them on.  why can't they be turned on all the time?  why can't the spkrs stacked on the side of the stage have more vocals in them?  it seems like the vocals only come out of the flown spkrs.  people up front always complain they cannot hear the vocals.  don't let me down.

How about if the first 10 folks to get 9:30 Club tattoos get into shows for free for life? Maybe you could require them to have a 3-drink minimum? How cool would that be.  :)

probably not, based on JAMCs' sets last week - pretty melodic and the distorsion was dialed way down compared to back in the day.  i didn't catch SY, but if they've mellowed out at all then merriweather's speakers should live to see another day.

Hey Seth,
 
 Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but the shuttle service from the metro to the festival and back again needs to be much better run than last year.  We arrived about at the metro about 1 hour before Kasabian went on stage and there was no shuttle.  The baltimore transport bus gave us a ride there but we had to pay.  When we left during The Who's set (a crime, i know) there was no shuttle to be found.  No signs, and not a single festival employee new anything about it.  Neither did any of the policemen around.  Ended up taking a taxi back to the metro.

Any chance of getting The Electric Soft Parade, Seth?  I'd love to see them, and their current schedule has them wrapping up their US/Canadian tour in New York in mid-June.  It looks like they've got 12 days between then and their next show in the UK.  Pretty please?   :)
 
 Also, I don't know if Idlewild are planning on touring over here or not, but if they do, they'd be awesome.

Didn't they play the state theatre the last few times they came through here?

Azaghal, I think you are thinking of a different band. Or maybe I'm the one who is confussed. I may be wrong but I don't think The Electric Soft Parade have been the way before. Are you thinking of that Doors cover band? This isn't them.

Hey Seth,
 
 I just heard I have to surrender my ticket (for a wristband) to come back for the second day. I know I'm being a crybaby, BUT I have all my tix dating back to Johnny Cash in 1970! I wanna keep my ticket. Is this true?

You've been bitchin for months about Amy Winehouse, she's finally coming within walking distance and you're already moaning about a repeat visit?  Are you being held in a "rehabilitation" facility, house arrest, are your movements otherwise limited?  While for the most part I also like the artists you champion, the whining makes the fanbase look scarier than it actually is.  I want to help you out, if you don't have an ankle bracelet and can actually leave a 40 mile radius I'm willing to foot the bill to the concert of your choice (philly, new york, boston, richmond, charlotte, etc) in this timezone as long you promise NOT to ask for the same artist to come to DC more than ONCE every six months, and no female artist or lead vocalist in a band every nine months.  This is no-shit offer, it just pains me to see all this repetitiveness in your posts.  I can see you're crying out for help.

They had these beautiful commerative tickets for Winter Music Conference this year, and at the gate I thought they'd just pull off the tab of the ticket which was made just for that purpose to keep the pristine ticket intact, but there were two sadistic freaks at the gate just ripping the entire ticket in half and waving people in, I too have been collecting tickets for quite awhile and I was shitting my pants to see these particularly attractive tickets being destroyed, so I balked and they weren't going to let me in so I sulked on the side until someone with a brain showed up and asked what the problem was and the knumbskulls at the gate were reprimanded for not following the directions they were initially given about ripping off the stubs only.  Moral of the story?  Acting like a baby can work in isolated circumstances for things that really don't have any relevance. I kept my souvenir in that instance and I'm sure VF organizers will do the right thing here.  There are so many options, like taking a marker to the back of the ticket so it can't be reused but otherwise kept intact, etc.

Post by: cfbrawner on May 07, 2007, 04:09:00 pm
I think you're right. Seth will take care of the crybabies. Once that ticket is scannned the first day, it is essentially worthless. I hope they just deface the back or tear it. However ya never know what meathead (with no tolerance for crybabies) will be working the gate. PLEASE SETH TAKE CARE OF THE COLLECTORS!

This isn't about my liking, but rather yours.  If you think I'm bullshiting pick a show/venue of your choice out of the DC area & PM me the details and I'll cover it under the conditions that I outlined earlier.  But heaven help you if you don't abide by those conditions after your trip, this board will be merciless and you'll have to hide under Lily Allen's summer dress for her remaining 5 minutes of fame to escape the barage. I don't care if it's a Liza Minelli, Avril Lavigne, Ashley Simpson tri-headlining tour if you want to go it's on me, just remember the rules.

Hey Seth
 I purchased tickets to the Ben Gibbard show and I am unable to attend due to the second show being added and bumping up the ticket time.  Can I get a refund since the time had changed on the tickets, and I was planning on getting off at 7 pm and now I will miss one of my favorite artists and possibly some of the Gibbard performance.
 Please let me know what to do. I contacted the 9:30 Club and Tickets.com, and no body has an answer for me. PS.  I was never contacted about the show changing times, I was browsing the site in hopes of finding out the possible set times for the show.

What? I am just coming up here to have a little fun and talk. I started posting after the Masive Attack show(please don't have them come back!),  but like I said this is just for fun. I am a eccentric guy and like to be well versed about many subjects. I am not having an identity crisis but maybe a midlife one. I don't have a body issue because I am tall and skinny but thanks for caring.
 
 If you want to I would like to go to NY to see Amy Winehouse. I will promise not to post about having the same artist come back except for once a year. I defenitely don't like Avril or whoever else you named. I don;t believe the hype and trust my own gut with music.
 
 Oh yeah, I am not a tranny either.

I think it's about time to ask for squarepusher again. Maybe putting in this req a little earlier would've resulted in his being booked for v-fest. I'd much rather a club show anyway. It's surprising that he played no US dates at all in order to push his phenominal most recent album.

 and since i have your attention, i'll cue up my on-going requests for squarepusher and aphex twin.  thanks!
 
 aside: did you know the 930 Club  is listed on LiveNation.com (http://www.livenation.com/venue/getVenue/venueId/1831/)?  one might think it's a livenation venue   :)    "buy tickets" does point to tickets.com, though.  interestingly enough, they have a 930 RSS feed... might have to sign up.
 edit: just noticed that elvis costello is a livenation event, i guess that's what got the club listed there.

I third that for Queens.  I was there for that show, too.  Josh was about to jump offstage & mangle that cat.  That was hilarious watching him sing & threaten to pummel that cat simultaneously.  Classic 9:30 moment . . .

I have a recording of it...I love the classic "I will fuck you in the ass, you bitch!" line. Also hilarious: during "Regular John" when Troy and Josh are trading guitar riffs, Josh stops and says, "individually, we all have tiny dicks. But together, we make one giant cock. Plus, Joey is back there, so it's kind of fat too." Then Troy chimes in and says "I believe that's called 'girth'." Priceless.

Well let's see, I don't think anyone is angry at Bull930... merely frustrated, confused, and irritated that he seems to repeat himself and has a one track mind.  Also don't think anyone questioned whether he was nice or not, just that his ADD is a little out of control and he refuses help.  For the record I fly to a lot of places to see "awful bands" but also in the mix there are a few good ones.  If you had been following Bull930 posts over an extended period of time you actually wouldn't have these questions, unless of course you share Bull's affliction of being a 21+ man trapped in a 13 year old girls body.
 
 Also I'm not flying all over the world merely to see the Pumpkins, I was going to be in UK this weekend and once they added the Paris show extended my stay to catch it, and Pink Pop was on the schedule for 9 months before a single artist was posted.  But thanks for trying to help with the bug in my ass, and as for my problems none here I can see. I feel very fortunate about how my life has turned out even it includes working for the man, I've been averaging at least 200 shows a year on no fewer than 3 continents for well over a decade so don't feel sorry for me I sure as hell don't.
 
 But if you think people should be angry with me and leave Bull alone, I'm fine with that.  In fact I'm the one who offered to sponsor an excursion for Bull to his show/place of choice so if you think I'm being mean to him I'd really hate to see the rest of your reality.
 
 
 Peace dude, and you can use your militia starter kit to paint a target on a British Airways 777 taking off in about 8 hours, and no worries I don't hold a grudge.

Yeah Seth this would be a cool show indeed.  Have to keep the jerkwad who threw, what ever it was, at Josh's head out of the place this time though! [/b]
I third that for Queens.  I was there for that show, too.  Josh was about to jump offstage & mangle that cat.  That was hilarious watching him sing & threaten to pummel that cat simultaneously.  Classic 9:30 moment . . . [/b]
I was at that show too, I actually met Josh after the show and he said "Some random pussy wanted his moment of fame so he threw some shit at me. Whatever." But whoever has a recording of this show could you maybe PM me a link to it  :D  I found it but it didn't download. Queens released a tour edition of Lullabies and the 2nd disc of this had 6 songs and they were recorded at that 930 show. Double nights! SO worth it! Do it.

Hi,
   It is probably too late for this request anyway, but is there any chance of IMP presenting a local Roger Waters show?
   Now that the live earth thing is not happening in DC, he is not playing in the area at all.  It seems like there may be some open dates on his schedule right before live earth on 7/7/07 in New York.
   He played the area last year, but it was the same night as Virgin Fest, so lots of people in the area didn't get to see it and would I'm sure jump at the chance.
 
 Thanks

Hey Seth,

 If it is... I just received word from the White Stripes mailing list that Grinderman is opening for the White Stripes at Madison Square Garden on July 26th. That's just two days before the show at the Patriot Center. Could you please persuade Grinderman to stay here in the U.S. for a couple more days and perform at the Patriot Center as well? Thanks!

Seth, I'm bailing on the last day of Lollapalooza to support V Fest. so I'm looking at flights back to the area from Chicago and unfortunately there's nothing that will get me back in time for the whole day Sunday but since there are major price differences ($90 versus $250) between morning, afternoon, and early evening flights I have to weigh the options.  I'm leaning toward getting back in time to be at Pimlico by 4-5pm, so without divulging the top secret set times can you comment on how many main stage/2nd stage,etc. acts I'll be able to see if that's the case?  Better yet, can you reveal when the set times will be released?

Hey Seth, at the same moment bnyced0 is flying to BWI, I'm flying from BWI to Chicago.  But because of the jet stream, bnyced0's plane is flying 500 miles per hour. My plane, on the other hand only goes 450 miles per hour because of head winds.  Which one of us will be closer to the VFest when they meet?

Hey Seth...
 
 According to an email I stumbled across today, the Beastie Boys are embarking on a tour that includes "two types of shows this summer, 'regular' shows and 'gala events'" and "THE GALA EVENTS will be in smaller spots, more exclusive, more intimate. this will be more like quality time, our time, just you and the band sitting by a fire on a tropical beach late at night being serenaded with love songs. these shows are for people that are into our weird stuff, so if you want to get weird together, this is your call. these shows will be based around the instruments. some songs will have vocals, others will be instrumental. BUT if you'd like to come to one of these shows, then dress to impress, wear a suit, a tie, a dress, a gown or whatever you feel dressed up in... AND PLEASE leave your cargo shorts, birkenstocks and t-shirts at home, this is not that kind of party."
 
 Would we be able to consider the 930 a potential condidate for one of the gala events by chance?

The Gala events are almost ALL INSTRUMENTAL, no rappin.  Buddy saw the first one in Seattle, they spoke maybe twice.  They're doing this at most of the festivals they're playing in Europe, with one day a normal show the next/day before instrumental.  He said it was good though.

yes, she did....yes i had to tackle her on the steps leading to the stage....
 
 the show was ok.  i really like the Dresden dolls. cyndi was pretty good too.
 
 Rufus waiwright has a fucking awesome voice, he just needs to get a new band and a new pair of pants, imo.
 
 not a fan of the gossip, erasure, rosie o donnell, or chicks with hairy armpits (amanda palmer aside).    people seemed to having a great time though...save for that one crazy girl.

 He looked like he was packing a strap-on, and he sure doesn't have the physique to be dressing like Billy Squier.

hey seth, i think bebel gilberto needs to get booked at the club soon after last night's performance.
 
 would you install better faucets in the lady's restrooms at merriweather? not all work, and those that work, most have the cap missing so you need to press in on that hard pin to get water to come out.
 
 thanks!
 
 ps last night's show at merriewather was fantastic. i haven't been there in a couple years and its fabulous what you have done with the place. all the food and beer options, all the extra screens to see the show at any spot on the grounds.

heya seth,
 
 thanks for bringing us the pumpkins.  idea: they have an open taping policy.  NPR broadcasts shows.  any chance we can get the on-air lefties to make the show available to all the folks who will inevitably be unable to attend in person?  hopefully there is still time to get NPR on board.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: mdh9857 on July 06, 2007, 12:02:00 pm
Thanks for the shows this year, been great so far.
 
 I was wondering if I might request a show by Jay Brannan.  He's an acoustic artist from NYC, and was in the movie "Shortbus."  He has a very devoted fan following.  His NYC shows sell out in pre-sale, and he is one of the most popular musicians on You Tube, and even got his stuff on iTunes.  He always has an open schedule, and I know that it would be a great show!  
 
 I know they were here recently, but I would love to see a headlining show by either Bayside or Cobra Starship.  Both were awesome as openers.  They seem to be busy this summer, but in the fall they are open.  Bayside is playing Warped Tour and getting a lot of publicity because of it too.
 
 Thanks for considering.
 
 Mike

 The Hives are touring with Maroon 5 and will be in the area mid-October. The tour has lots of open dates, probably because the Maroon 5 boys work so hard and need their rest. I'm willing to bet The Hives would love to do a gig in a venue that appreciates them.

We are still confirming performers for the dc space thing. There will be a lot of them, and a complete list will be posted no later than tomorrow. We can't put the tix onsale without a door time, and without a clear idea of how many performers there will be, it's hard to know what the total running time of the event will be. Although we could have just gone with doors at noon to be on the safe side, I think it''ll be more like 4 or 5 pm.
 It's shaping up to be a really good time though, as you will see once the artist list is complete.

Can you explain the rationale behind releasing set/stage times for festivals in general or at least for the ones youâ??re involved with?  
 
 Iâ??ve often wondered why/how some festivals are willing/able to provide set/stage times months in advance while others wait until days before the show.
 
 Is this merely a promoter preference, is artist management involved in the decision, do concessionaires have a say?
 
 Are there concerns that fans will delay entry and thus suppress revenue making opportunities for the concessionaires?
 
 Are the times not firm until the last minute?
 
 How much lead time do the companies actually printing timetables for distribution at the show require to make deadlines, and is the information even quarantined from them?
 
 Bonus question:
 
 And if youâ??re feeling especially forth coming can you provide insight in the theories of not merely banding fans upon initial entry and allow unlimited entering and exiting during multiple day events.  Again is there a concern about revenue suppression, is it merely a logistical nightmare requiring unruly security requirements, etc.?
 
 
 Pulling back the veil on these types of decisions would be enlightening and appreciated.

whew...had to get a cup of coffee for that one...
 
 The biggest reason we don't release schedules is because they're not finalized until pretty late...just finished V Fest this week and will put it out shortly
 
 other than that, as you will soon see, it will inspire a cacaphony of forum complaints, with people taking great pride in demonstrating their other-worldly hipness by declaring how inconsiderate it was to have their personal discovery band overlapping with another, or how positively unbearable it might be to have 2 bands on at the same time that they have long since abandoned due to commercial success, thus giving them nothing to do for an hour and be forced to walk around & socialize
 
 followed by the usual declarations of how they are abandoning our local event in favor of travelling to see Daft Punk
 
 all of which greatly amuses me, as people are actually so sheep-like in their strive to prove different
 
 lighten the fuck up and enjoy life I say to the aforementioned
 
 in & out priveleges...where do I begin...
 
 it's hard enough getting everyone in the first time without having to do it over & over
 
 then, of course, there's the scam factor
 
 and where is it that people need to go exactly?
 
 can't be for anything good but, if there is a legitimate reason, we  try to listen and make exceptions, but understand that someone needing to go out for an illegitimate reason is going to tell us otherwise so, of course, that ruins the trust for everyone
 
 in terms of food & beverage sales, we absolutely count on that to pay for everything so, no, we cannot afford to lose that opportunity...sorry, that's just life in a capitalist system...and we are not subsidized by the Park Service like Wolf Trap
 
 so when you are hoisting that cold one, think of it is going towards your favorite band
 
 or, if you want to be miserable, dwell on how it as paying for the one you wish wasn't playing
 
 we're going to try to do everything we can to make sure that people coming to the show have a great time, and that the ones who don't realize they fucked up
 
 it will be fun I promise

Great response Seth.  I'd so be at V Fest if I wasn't on vacation.  (Hey when the parents plan it, you just have to go along)
 
 Any thought of a Jay Brannan show yet?  Haha.
 
 Thanks for the shows, looking forward to the fall!

 followed by the usual declarations of how they are abandoning our local event in favor of travelling to see Daft Punk

(I sound really greedy after the other forumite's lengthy post and all that Seth does year-round...) Mostly, I'm just curious..also about possible 2-for-1 ticket deals, or $10-12 specials in the future?

Actually, how cool would it be to have Prince come and play and each night he would do one album, from start to finish, with assorted favorites? I'd want to show up the night he plays "Dirty Mind". That would be an awesome show.

Unfortunately, he doesn't do much of "dirty" anything these days.  He's purged the smut out of his sets, he's still one of the best out there and a can't miss show, but oh how I relish the memories of those raunchy concerts....

Hey Seth...  I know I asked this a while back just wanted to rekindle the concept.  A Rage Against the Machine show at the club (and me getting tickets of course) would make it so I could die a happy man!  I am eagerly awaiting the announcement (of the show, not my pending death).

Keep your panties on, they'll be touring extensively in the fall/early winter "co-headlining" with Hold Steady unlikely they'll pass on DC I would expect dates at both the club and Sonar relatively soon, my little prediction.

Much better idea, but then you should tag their booking agents with the request, as omnipotent as Seth is I doubt he can arrange a one off of obscure acts for your personal pleasure, start a petition for them to tour and if the risk/reward differential on Seth's calculator pops up $$$$$$ I'm sure he'll book it even without the request, just saying....

given that she's only playing NYC and LA, she's in fact skipping most of the country - so it's not as if she's targeting DC for omission.

Again much like Bjork, Polly has earned the right to do whatever the phuck she likes, and if you have to go to her rather than her coming to you so be it.  Hell she's only doing two dates (London & Brighton) in the UK post new album release.  
 
 She pretty much said she wouldn't be doing full tours anymore, though it was widely misreported as her saying she'd never play live again.
 
 Hopefully she'll get the itch and want to do something a little more extensive, say Daft Punk or RATM like, hitting most "parts" of the country.  
 
 But having her on the eastern seaboard is still fairly convenient and a whole hell of a lot better than nothing.

On a completely different topic, I want to say thanks again to Seth for reading this board and taking my suggestion to put up new hooks in the ladies' room bathroom stalls (I can't remember if it came up in the earlier "Hey Seth" thread, or Seth had started a thread on what improvements could be made to the club -- I feel like I faintly remember the latter).  
 
 I was at The National last night, and once again thought -- "I love these hooks!  Not having to put my purse on the wet floor is...well just thank goodness."

fair point, for me it fortunately fell in an open window of opportunity, though it is brutal to work all day, head up there, and get back in time for work the next day.  
 
 But it is PJ Harvey, and there's really no alternative.
 
   To show you how sick I am, I once took a train from Sevilla to Barcelona to see her, 12 hours up, 65 minute set, and another 12 hours back (this was pre-deregulation and cheap flights) and I don't regret it to this day.

They get back from Europe in early December. Any chance for them to do some gigs between December 13th through 19th? They'll sell out 2 nights at the club easy. And we'll drink a lot of booze too!

Now we're asking Seth to bring in the bands, AND manage their set lists?  Is he a promoter or the phuckin lost 5th member of the Fantastic Four?  
 
 Seriously guys, it's great that he pays attention to the littles and still books excellent shows despite that, but he's human, a shitty gambler, and most importantly for your sanity and mine...unable to spontaneously teleport to 9th & V any and every band that pops up on your ipod playlist.
 
 Some people are rationale, see that a band is on tour and playing within a reasonable distance, and they put it out there that it would be nice to have them at the club (my guess, since it's his full time job he already knows that and if it makes sense is already working on it).  But some (Sweety, xxxPD,)  attribute superhuman abilities to the poor guy whilst ironically encouraging career suicide by asking him to book  acts so obscure that offering free admission AND free beer wouldn't fill the club.
 
 I'm not saying the bands being requested aren't good, or wouldn't be great to see at the club, but so would free admission and beer...all things that common sense say isn't going to happen.
 
 Ok, sleep deprived tantrum is over.  
 
 Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....
 
 Seth could you raise Johnny Allen Hendrix, James Douglas Morrison, and John Henry Bonham from the dead to form a Placebo cover band, and have them play a one-off at the club for board members only?  
 
 Oh yeah, please make it free admission and unlimited free beer.   Thanks dude!

speaking of thievery corporation, will the 930 club santa be having them perform another 4 nights in a row in december?
 
 930 santa could have qotsa on the 13 and 14, which is an easy sellout, rest day for the staph on the 15, and thievery corp the 16, 17, 18, and 19, all of which will sell out.

I'll second this, but we're pushing our luck. We've been fortunate to have a 3 night stint in 05, a 4 night run in 06 (plus VFest), and the Merriweather show this year. I cannot honestly say we NEED Thievery back because we in DC have seen more of them in the last three years then anywhere else (thanks in HUGE part to Seth), but if they do come back, I'll go to every freaking night.

dearest bnyced0,
 
 1. please sleep more,
 
 2. get off your frickin high horse.  believe it or not, you can be wrong.  i think it's great that you share your opposing opinions, but please sell it as such.
 
 3. is there anything wrong in ASKING for a band?  seth doesn't book every request that gets posted here, and no one here hates him for his business decisions.  give the man some credit for knowing his biznid and being able to filter the signal from the noise.  even if a given request isn't economically feasible at the moment, i doubt that he minds *hearing* what people want.  the club has been going strong for 25+ years, i doubt a few requests will bring it down.  so some fanboy/fangirl asks seth to book their fav hack band - so what?  
 
 off to bed myself, admittedly also sleep deprived...

Let me sleep on it, though I think it would be more interesting if it was my $1000 against a 2008 Season pass (not VIP, just entrance) to every show at the club (which I think you should be selling anyway)...
 
 in the mean time I have a serious question and though the answer might be akin to telling a 3 year old that neither the tooth fairy nor santa claus exist... but have you EVER booked a show based solely on a request you received in this forum?  
 
 And by solely I mean the band wasn't already on your radar screen (i.e. wasn't touring and made inquiries, or bookers hadn't put feelers out, or it wasn't already on your wish list, etc) when the request came in?  
 
 In other words you read the request here, and it was the first time you even thought about it, and then followed up with trying to get more info, and it eventually led to them being booked at the club.
 
 And a bonus question if you HAVE done this, how did it go (sell out, total bomb, broke even, etc.).
 
 And finally if you're feeling particularly forthcoming, who was/were this/these band/bands, or who did you go through most the paces to get but ultimately didn't book?
 
 I apologize in advance for being the wicked warlock of the west and shattering the innocence of those boardies that may find out that you're not actually the wonderful Wizard of DC...

excellent idea, i certainly would have bought one while i was in DC.  but i fear that it would be hard if not impossible to price such a pass up front.

 maybe for some people, it is just that... and then they cry when there is no santa.  however, i think for most people, posts on this thread are polite request for seth to consider bringing their fav band.  nothing more than asking him to look into it.  it is, after all, his business to bring bands that people want to see.  
 
 would you prefer that people not request bands at all, and the 930 be left to its lonesome in figuring out what they should book?  what is wrong with asking?  you portray people here as clueless children asking for the moon - i don't see that, but i'm willing to recognize that my view is rarely perfect.  when has anyone cussed out seth for not fulfilling an impossible request?  when these request go unfilled, seems to me that folks are realistic enough to blame the band, not seth.

agreed, and i realistically think it would sell very well.  that bnycedo thinks it won't sell is fine by me, it's a perfectly valid opinion.  what i don't get is his patronizing and condescending dismissal of our request - we're stupid for even asking.

I think along these lines... when someone gets paid for something they're a professional.  I for instance don't have clue one about anything automotive (oil change, tire change, anything change) nor plumbing, or a bunch of other seemingly common sense tasks.  
 
 But thank goodness the little I do know pays well enough to hire a professional mechanic or a plumber when then need arises.  And when they start their work, I don't look over their shoulders and give them pointers, again they are professionals and if their work sucks I either sue and/or get another one.  
 
 In this case, Seth is a professional, it's nice he listens to what the kids say, and it's undoubtedly valuable to know what's hot and what's not, but I can't imagine what a handful (and I think there are less than fifty people that post regularly and shout out requests)  of borderline retarded internet geeks (I'm fully including myself in that description) are influential enough to alter what his professional instincts have him doing already.
 
 But I could be wrong which is why I asked him to clarify if he does actually give a rats ass what we request, because I think these requests are either a validation of something he's already working on, or just white noise.
 
 I don't discourage the requests, just make them realistic, and relevant.  But I don't run the show around, people should ask for whatever the hell they want, and I think it's also alright to berate them when it's a totally over the top fantasy (i.e. european bands not touring anywhere else in the world, broken up bands, artists so obscure their entire fan base would fit in the requesters' living room, etc.).
 
 And do you really want to continue to leave open the flood gates to whomever bull becomes infatuated with this week...my money is on Kate Nash...

I did make something like 5-6 booka shade requests in this thread before they were booked for v-fest.
 
 
 Speaking of which, they're returning stateside in december/january.
 
 Club date this time around perhaps?

fortunately, there's seldom an act requested that I haven't heard of (although it does happen)
 
 all feedback is considered...why wouldn't it be?
 
 you people are my customers...I know it's really cornball to say things like "you are the most important people in the world" but your business and support really is appreciated more than you'll ever know
 
 I really enjoy making people happy by going to see my shows...I never tire of hearing about it and always welocme ideas on who to book and how to make things better
 
 it all has an ifluence...there have been many occassions where I am working on a show and try harder to get it done because it sounds like people really want to see it
 
 but...in general...it's always cool to say anything you'd like here

I discovered that this past weekend - over and above sir - thank you very much.  Had a great time, had lots to drink and brought back club t-shirts for me and the Mrs to proudly wear around SF. Thanks again.

Touche, but I didn't say I was any better at betting, just pointing out that you're human and that if you had the ability to pull off some of the shit people are asking for you'd probably not be betting on the Raiders in any situation,this coming from a guy who bleeds silver and black...
 
 That said, if you'll put up 1 ticket to my choice 20 IMP shows in 2008, I have $500 against a winner takes all NFL playoff bracket.  
 
 As soon as the playoff teams are settled and before the kick off of the first wild card game, we fill out brackets all the way through the superbowl, first person to lose both their superbowl teams is out.  In case of a tie, person with most total wins.
 
 
 The brackets, my $500, and your IOU for the 20 tickets will be sealed and held by a neutral source (SMACKIE?) and only opened after the superbowl.
 
 Put up, or shut up  :D

Of course I'll book this, but NFL brackets are tough because they reseed after the first round - the fact that it's a bracket is irrelevant.  What you've really asked for is to pick a super bowl winner, which isn't really gambling.

How about I think of a number between one and ten, and mail it to Smackie in a sealed envelope, and the two of you wager on whose guess is closer? It's gambling in its purest, and most inanely obsessive, form.

I've got lots of bands to request but my most realistic requests at the moment are
 
 Hot Hot Heat as they are bringing along De Novo Dahl  one of my top 10 fav bands at the moment.
 
 Mavis Staples her set at Bonnaroo was a festival highpoint for me.  The CD is amazing as well..
 
 Cheap Trick, The Romantics and the Hoodoo Gurus would be awesome triple bill.  I would take them on their own as well.
 
 Franz Ferdinand at club again would be cool...
 
 If they ever tour the US again, Idlewild, James, or The Coral.

Shit, yes, I forgot about that. Well, that's not going to work is it?  
 
 I'm up for suggestions, how bout we send you our picks for each week before hand, you keep the talley, but before the Conference Championship games we pick the winners AND superbowl winner, and for the only time the score.  
 
 If there's a tie, then the one with the most wins throughout the playoffs wins. If still tied, one with the close superbowl score takes all.

Pylon is reissuing Gyrate next month. If they're doing any shows north of GA, I'd love to see them again. Maybe bring along one or two other Athens/Atlanta bands, e.g. Guadalcanal Diary (inactive at this time AFAIK) and the Swimming Pool Q's (they're doing a few shows a year).

Typical grid-pattern office pools require no knowledge, just luck. In one Super Bowl pool I had a 3-0 square (very nice) and won $125 because of a missed extra point   :cool:  ($5 per square, pool evenly split by quarter)

thats a possibility but unless you follow sales numbers it would be hard to make intelligent guesses...

Not really what I meant considering adding someone to an already established date as an opener isn't particularly earth shattering as openers change last minute all the time, and sales projections were based on the headliner,  but that is interesting, just not quite on point.  It was a solicited suggestion, not an organic request, which would've been utterly asinine if it weren't going to be taken into consideration.

not for me, i love the band that im going to see. and even though it may not be a band that everyone likes (or you for that matter), the fact is that its your own personal taste. im excited i get to see one of my favorite bands play back to back shows while im at home for a college break. and im sure if one of your favorite bands played back to back nights you would be just as excited as well. the difference is i wouldnt give you shit for it, because even though the band you may like is not one i may like, i still have the respect for the fact that the band you like is coming around and im not going to make you feel like an ass for liking the music that they make... so happy early birthday to me and im going to celebrate it the way i damn well please

merriweather would be ok if there isn't a repeat of the traffic situation.
 
 5.5 hours from richmond->merriweather is pretty ridiculous.  that's an average of like 25mph on the interstate.  if i hadn't been sick i would have left earlier and just taken 301, but i didn't anticipate the issues would be as bad as they were on the interstate.

I didn't know circle jerks will still touring, but dont waste your time on current incarnations of the Bad Brains or Misfits.  It's a scam, a ruse, a trick to get your $$.

Circle Jerks have been on off touring for the past couple of years...They are supposed to come out with a new album soon so I would expect them to go on a US tour to support it...

My 17-year-old neighbor would lose his balls over this.  He constantly talks to me about Dethklok, and I have no clue what he's saying.  Probably like when I talk to him about the Stooges.

terrible idea to open for EITS..just totally different genres of music.  im guessing this was a favor due to the fact that john congleton (the paper chase's singer) produced their last album.
 ive seen them at the ottobar, north six and the black cat and they were great...

Panic! at the Disco is doing a club tour before they do their big summer tour.  Similar to Fall Out Boy.  I'd love to see them.
 
 Margaret Cho is doing a few workshop shows at small venues (i.e. The Norva 2 shows) to showcase new material before her tour.

autechre should be touring around april or so.. (there's a chicago show up on ticketweb).  it'd be nice to see them at 930 again.. i'd rather not have to go to the black cat this time.  i'm pretty sure the 2001 date sold out or came close to selling out.
 
 would prefer not to see them with men's recovery project this time, though.

Dearest Sethwald,
 
 My last experience at your award-winning establishment which involved a fine groups of chaps appearing under the moniker "The Presets" was, to the best of my recollection, entirely delightful.  
 
 It has been brought to my attention that this gaggle of antipodians is once again on tour, and will be playing in New York (how dreadful) in June.  If not too much to ask, would it be possible to summon them to the club?
 
 Pip pip and cheerio,

For the VFest, in the early afternoon Cheap Trick-cool-older-fogey-band slot, may I suggest From the Jam.  Just saw them tonight at the B'mere and they rocked. Bruce and Rick still playing superbly and a guitarist/vocalist who's a 40-year-old Weller acolyte.  Put 'em on the big stage and from a distance you'd never know the difference. Set list included "Town Called Malice" "Going Underground", "Eton Rifles", "David Watts", "In the City", "This is the Modern World" and lots more. The crowd dug it tonight and they'll love it at the VFest. Also opener Hugh Cornwell was no slouch either; good aggressive, well-played set out of him too.

Ummmm...there are certain things that I can only share with my closest friends. It was a wild, decadent night, and the fact that it all happened at Aphex Twin just made it all the more insane. One highlight: communicating telepathically with the 2 stoned girls next to me while the "Donkey Rhubarb" teddy bears came out on stage dancing. We all looked at each as though we had just simultaneously gone insane, then burst out laughing. You kinda had to be there. Sometime at a forum gathering I might elaborate when I've had a few drinks in me.

OK then it looks like 2 Lou Reed shows in a short span.  Thanks Seth.  (Now I am patiently awaiting an announcement of a Stray Cats show.  That would be the show that would simply be the show of the decade.)

Hey Seth cant wait for iron maiden to get announced but im dying for this tour to come here... maybe u cud book it July 9th or early july?
 
 At The Gates, Darkest Hour, Municipal Waste
 
 DH and MW have a strong local following being that their both from va. And At The Gates is a very influential band and havent toured for like 10 years and it would pretty much gurantee sell out (As long as there are 1,300 real metalheads in this area). This would be a great make up for the cancelled darkest hour show.

This is fantastic news about Lou Reed at the club.  If anyone is concerned about what seeing him these days is like, don't be.  I saw him last year when he was performing the entire Berlin record and he was amazing.  Very emotive with his voice and playing tons of guitar, also very buffed.

Morrissey didn't sell out DAR, and he has more mainstream name recognition than Leonard Cohen.

Morrissey didn't sell out DAR because generally speaking the DC concert goer is a musical moron.

Not my money.
 DAR or Strathmore could sell well, esp. if you put him with a younger singer/songwriter like Rufus Wainwright.
 
 Morrissey and Neil Young have also been here just a few times in the last 15 years.
Title: Re: Hey Seth

I don't think you can buy tickets in advance for back stage shows...you just show up, first come first serve. But generally they don't sell out.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on March 11, 2008, 04:55:00 pm
Good points. But still, I just don't think the general concert going public gives a hoot about Leonard Cohen. He's a cult classic, but most people don't know who he is. Hell, if Lou Fuckin Reed is only doing the 9:30 Club, I don't see Leonard Cohen filling Merriweather or DAR (your two original assertions).

Neither of those two are popular anymore over here for a REASON.  They're awful now and haven't been good for twelve years (Weller?  x2.)  Hey, if I want to go see a band play dull, plodding, tuneless crap at Merriweather, R.E.M. are going to be playing there in a couple months aren't they?

weller solo stuff has a "classic rock" sound which could have easily worked on a classic rock station were those programmers not so hung up on having to only include artists of a specific era.  of course weller isn't popular in the states, his solo stuff was never in fashion for mainstream radio.

does anyone really want someone else's first born these days?  obviously it's a huge sacrifice for the parents, but methinks there is a shortage of takers.

YES!  ..or a secret surprise Pearl Jam club show when they're in town.
 
 ...or maybe since Ed is friends with Ian MacKaye, they could do something at the club instead of playing softball in Mt. Pleasant.   ;)

You would need precisely 5/24 more to make an ever 7 1/3...  Not sure if this is like the price is right where if you go over it doesnt count!

I agree with people about Leonard Cohen at a theatre in DC and same with Nick Cave (if you can't book Mr. Cave for two nights at the club - let's face it, one night just isn't enough ticket wise)
 
 By the way, I recently bought my B-52s ticket. I just want to say thank you for getting them to play the club! They've been one of my favorite bands since I was in second grade and have yet to see them live. To say the least, I'm pretty damn excited about April 26th.

the only redeeming part of the last show (i think this was the last one) at the club was taking audience requests for (partial) covers at the end of the show since it was the last show of the tour.

You mean the one a few years ago for the "Hotel" tour? Or the "Animal Rights" tour when they started doing all of the cover songs and Pablo the percussionist destroyed the keyboard with his bongos? That was a pretty awesome show.

i was referring to the "animal rights" tour (10+ years ago now, i guess -- wasn't aware he'd played the club since) when he somehow managed to make all of the "electronic"-based songs to sound EXACTLY the same.
 
 if it hadn't been for the covers, i would have left completely pissed off.

I completely agree with this.  something that would be much more "indie" than Vfest and could have acts on a pair of stages for an affordable price.
 
   Surely would sell at least 5,000 tickets easy.
 
   great idea!

I'll bet that Red Rocks festival needs to sell way more than 5000 tickets to turn a profit.

 Suggestions:
 The Bravery have a few off days between shows of Project Revolution (Nissan on 7/27 and nothing until 7/30)...?
 
 Kylie Minogue US show would be awesome.
 
 Warped Tour is coming around, and I would love to see a nightcap by Cobra Starship at the club.
 
 Hush Sound tour late summer, they said they we're gonna play DC, can we get this to the club.

Because a bunch of male 30something doofuses will pony up top dollar for this boys night out show, even if only two of the bands are on the bill.
 
 And then you only have to pay two of the bands!

Yeah it is, this tour and Confessions.  Not sure what the deal is, especially since she has hit DC for multiple dates on every single previous tour.  Her first tour hit Merriweather.  Come on and knock one Philly date off for us.

I like to put my two cents in for another Swell Season show at the club. Perhaps a secret/surprise show around Vfest? (they had a secret show in LA, so perhaps they would do another)
 Either way just bring them back to the club when you can please. I had to miss all shows in the area unfortunately. Oh, and I think the Frames are touring later this year. (Sw. Season were on my flight to Ireland a couple weeks ago, but I didn't bother them with mention of coming back to DC.  ;)  )

 seriously, i'm sure they'd sell out the club and would be an awesome show.

wolf trap is the best venue in town! not sure what this reference to a holier than thou attitude is...
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: RatBastard on June 21, 2008, 01:50:00 am
The venue is fair, but i know a lot of places that are far better.  Getting in is easy but getting out is a pain in the butt.  Every time I have been there, a majority of the crowd acts like spoiled little rich brat kids.  The whole nose up in the air bullshit thing is how a lot of them are.  Not even there to enjoy the music but rather to be able to go to work the next day and say to everyone else "Oh yeah I was there".  Rude, arrogant, and obnoxious are the three words to best describe a huge majority of the patrons at that place.  Then the park ranger trainees that are working outside the gates are real douche bags.  They act as if their little smoky bear hat and starched uniforms make them the all powerful wizard of Oz.
 
 I have to use their courtesy shuttle because of my mobility issues.  I will normally leave a show early so I can avoid the rush of traffic.  When I was dropped off at the front gate to go to a show, they told me to return to that spot afterwards and they would take me directly back to my car.  So I leave the show a song or two before the break for encore.  I ask this dweeb where the courtesy cart will pick me up.  He yells at me to sit on the bench and stop bothering him or he will have me arrested.  Then he tells me I have to wait until 30 minutes after the show ends so all the cars can get out before they will start taking folks back on the courtesy cart.  Its 30 minutes before the scheduled end of the show and they say they donâ??t want the carts caught in traffic.  So now for the next 45 minutes I have to sit on a hard bench or stand on concrete (both of which I canâ??t do because of my back).  So when I go to explain this to him he threatens to have me arrested again if I do not start walking to my car immediately.  I ended up hobbling to my car about 3/4th of a mile away and I fell on the blacktop twice because it was on such an incline.  I emailed the venue about all of this when I got home and all I ever heard was a â??we will look into itâ?ť response.
 
 Yeah that a really great venue!
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on June 21, 2008, 02:10:00 am
get a clue.. its a gorgeous national park.. ticket prices are CHEAP... and you can bring a cooler full of beer and food.. AND you can leave anytime you want and go back to your car..
 
 yeah..its the best venue in town.. sorry for your bad experience...i've had nothing but good experiences including with the rangers..
 
 its easy to make fun of park rangers..but its kind of silly...

 However, his performance at coachella was one of the most brilliant mixes by any DJ I have ever seen. His set was unbelievable.

My gripe is with how I am and other are treated  there.  WT indeed is a very pretty venue, but the patrons and the employees are jerks.  The sound is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10 at best.  It is a venue built for the rich snob type of the DC area.  NOTE: I am sure there are many who do there who do not fall into this category and not all people who ahve money are like this. But there is a huge proportion of patrons of WT there who do.  I prefer a venue that is run by people who care about a good show and a safe time for everyone.  I have seen people threatened with being ejected for attempting to go to the bathroom at the wrong time.  I have seen an instance where the crowd was standing to get into the music except for an extremely drunk couple who proceeded to complain to one of the users.  Said usher demanded that the people one row up sit or be ejected.  I have seen a group of three hoity toidy types walk through the black top area behind the crowd while in conversation and not paying attention to where they were going.  The woman in the group ran into and all sut knocked over a young guy who was actually trying to avoid them and one of the men in the group cussed the kid out and threatened to beat his ass while the staff did nothing.  Yeah thats the type of venue I want to be at.
 
 I will drop the issue now. This is a Hey Seth thread nit a Why Does Wolftrap Blow Goats thread.
 
 Sorry for the typos.  I am typing with a couple of broken fingers.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on June 21, 2008, 07:41:00 pm
the patrons and people who run wolftrap are not jerks.. just because ratbastard says so don't make it so.. have seen many shows there and people relaxing on the lawn having a picnic are now jerks??? compared to what??? people at the black cat? give me a break..
 
 as far as the sound.. i think ratbastard is showing his ignorance here because wolftrap has incredible acoustics.. its the best outdoor venue in the area BY FAR.. or what?? you prefer nissan or merriweather to wolftrap?
 
 they're jerks for having a shuttle that takes you there from the metro for like 1.50?? i haven't noticed that existing for nissan or merriweather?
 
 so yes its a hey seth thread and it was ratbastard who started this with the asinine comment that wolftrap is a crappy venue... anyone who saw cesaria evora/seu jorge or tony bennett last year or who has ever talked to any of the performers who play there- which i have- such as lyle lovett knows that performers love to play there because the sound is great, the venue is gorgeous and the crowd is very well behaved...
 
 now if someone doesn't like that well thats fine but lets not make idiotic statements ratbastard.
 
 now back to the hey seth.

my bad, i was confusing anthony with andy    :)  
 
 still don't see where they mention that anthony doesn't tour with them, but even if he doesn't i suspect that every out of work soul vocalist would kill for the opportunity to tour with H&LA, so i have no doubt that should anthony not be there, some other very competent vocalist will fill his spot.  anthony does a great job on his 5 tracks on the album, but my personal appreciation of of H&LA isn't limited to his performances.  still looking forward to this show like few others  :)

Hey Seth, about 5 or so years ago when I requested that you put hooks on the ladies room stahl doors you followed up and did so. You got lots of loving from all the females for a couple years after that one. Well, since then, one by one, all the hooks have disappeared. Believe me, you just can't imagine how helpful and appreciated they are by us. Please, please, PLEASE replace those hooks.
 
 While you are at it, I'd suggest you put them on the doors at Merriweather also. They are so inexpensive and you can even write them off your taxes.
 
 If you want to be the real ladies' man again, please give us back our hooks.   ;)

I'd say put the hooks on the stall walls instead of the doors - it's too easy for someone to swipe your stuff from outside the stall if the hook is on the door.

Some props going out to Merriweather.  I went to both the Duran Duran show and R.E.M., and both were great.  I had really really awesome seats for DD (which I would have rather had for REM, but that wasn't the hand I was dealt this time).  Also had VIP passes for DD, and that was a cool little perk to have your own bar and bathrooms.
 
 All worked well, getting in and out SO simple, staff was helpful, Club 932 is a GREAT addition.
 
 Yes, Wolftrap is great as well.  Different vibe (I don't find it pretentious, but what do I know).  Nissan is the place to AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE (even though some swell folks work out there).

 Sonic Youth have managed to elude me for way too long.  :(
 They've pretty much become the band I'm never meant to see.
 
 Even at Coachella when I was sitting there a few hundred feet away waiting for them to come on, something came up causing me to miss them right before they went on.  :(

there were two more votes for SY at the club in the "4th of july plans" thread, in case you missed it.  so that's 4 votes so far - only 1,196 more to go!  their show in NYC on the 4th kicked all sorts of ass.

and when, pray tell, was the last time SY played the 930?  and i'll bet that the last 5 times they played, the club was 90% full if not more... so how can that be "too much"???
 
 a show now will definitely sell out. they could probably sell out a 3-night stand.  
 
 they've been around since 1981, of course they've played the 930 twenty times.  they have the chops, and the fan base, to pull it off.  deal with it.

i dare anyone to say that one show (or a pair of shows) every two years is "too much" for a band of the caliber of sonic youth.

 Maybe he can open for them and they can debut their colabboration  live and then Seth can buy a new PA for the club after the current one is destroyed.    :)

 are you completely unaware of how many other musicians list them as major influences, or have you just never heard of the band?  to couch it in practical terms: they're a band that can sell out the 930 for two nights in a row.

to the person who said "deal with it":
 
 NO YOU deal with it! sonic youth have played the 930 club too many times for anyone to get too excited about them playing it yet again particularly considering they don't even have a new album...
 
 not sure how much they sell but considering most bands sell out the 930 club 90% full is not that great.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: nkotb on July 09, 2008, 10:32:00 am
Even with a new album I doubt "excited" would be the word. Not saying I wouldn't go, but unless the follow-up was in the same league as Murray Street, I wouldn't say I'd be excited.
 
 Maybe if they were playing Sister from start to finish, though...

 Its the problem with bands that have such a deep catalogue.  If they were going to tour with no new material...wouldnt it be cool to announce a classics tour with all pre-2000 material perhaps?  
 
 I would go see them every Friday night if i thought that they were pulling from every album.
 
 
 will they ever play Junkie's Promise again?
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: nkotb on July 09, 2008, 10:49:00 am
Actually, they do normally pull some pretty deep cuts on each tour.  I think the last time I saw them play the entirety of a new album was the Thousand Leaves tour.  Not so great considering the album isn't stellar, but at least they closed with Death Valley '69.

there are still lowers available for this show on TM, so i think her chances of picking up cheapies are excellent.   CL (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/search/tix?query=George+Michael&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max) has plenty of below-face offers.  if kosmette doesn't want to deal with CL, i suspect there will be scalpers outside the venue trying to dump tickets just before the show.

Those bands can play arenas for that kind of ticket price, and sell far more tickets than the 9:30 holds.

Hey Seth,
 
 A lot has been said lately with Radiohead's recent tour about the ecological costs associated with major tours, particularly at large venues outside the range of mass transit. Recently, I bought tickets for an event at the Charlottesville Pavilion and after selecting the number of tickets I wanted, it offered me the ability to buy a 40cent CO2 offset credit for each ticket, if I chose. It's not a full-scale answer to the environmental questions being raised, by any means, but even the opponents of the CO2-credit system admit it does afford some help (along side the push for car pooling, etc).
 
 I know VFest and Merriweather both pride themself on their green-ness and trying to preserve the natural environment as much as possible. Would it ever be possible to have a similar opt-in system for CO2 offset credits for IMP shows held away from the 9:30 Club, or does ticketmaster make it impossible? Has there ever been any thought to building in money to the ticket cost (like some places charge a "facility fee" in addition to the ticket, well, in this case, an environmental fee), or is this perhaps already happening?

Remember back in the Middle Ages when people would buy Papal indulgences from the Catholic Church to absolve themselves of their alleged sins?  CO2 credits are the modern day equivalent.

Seth, can you see if a Weezer date is available in and/or around the fall dates? I prefer the club to host - would be very fun.
 
 Separately, although I might not be going to VFest, I want to commend you and everyone involved at the many options provided to get tickets - especially the "green" method - clever & conscientious.

Hey Seth,
 I noticed that Nine Inch Nails are playing Charlottesville,VA on November 5th and their next date is in New Hampshire on November 8th. So I guess what I'm asking is NIN in DC in between those dates? Please! I know they just played the V-fest, and that was a brilliant performance and night, but it has left me and my friends wanting more. I really hope you can get them back here ASAP! Okay that is all   :)

well you're right about that.. few people would complain...
 
 oh and i forgot wilco just did the virgin fest! that would be three times in a few months..
 
 where would they play? patriot center? verizon?
 
 it would have to be one of those because it will be too cold for merriewather....and either artist can do fairly well at DAR on their own
 
 i don't think they can do verizon..not in this town..
 
 
 so you're down to the patriot center.. nothing to get too excited about IMHO and not sure it would sell out....
 
 i'm not sure i'd promote this show but we'll see what seth does...

AC DC THAT IS THE SHOW TO BRING TO DC!!!!!!!!
 
 automatic guaranteed sell out
 
 question is whether live nation is going to promote the tour..my friend thinks so because live nation set up an AC DC store on their website or somesuch..but i'm not convinced..
 
 but i think the demand for AC DC is very big...their album is going to blow it up when it comes out (NUMBER ONE BABY!).i would love to see them hit dc for two or three shows even if spead out....there's some nice action there for the promoter!

 Dolly Parton is playing some shows in the Northeast/Midwest, and it'd be one HELL of a time if she was at the club. I think people would flip their shit and that it would sell out relatively quick.
 
 I think before she gets scooped up by the Birchmere folks, she'd be better off at the club where she could bring it to DC, proper.

Are you talking about July 2002? That's the last time she's played the club, I think. The last couple of times she's been to the city, it's either been the Patriot Center or Constitution Hall. I know she played the House of Blues in Atlantic City not too long ago, and it'd be great to see her at a small/mid-sized (*cough* General Admission *cough*) venue like that here in DC.

My girlfriend is the one with the allergy and she really likes it (she really missed beer until this came out). Compared to regular beer it's not amazing tasting but if it's all you can have it's the best she's tried. It's also pretty easy to find in stores around here.

He was fantastic. I saw you up there enjoying the show/drummer, and was waiting for you to come down to play on a song!
 The best thing for me was being close enough to see Glenn and Chris looking at each other during the set. It is so great to see them having fun, and actually making genuine contact with each other. I hope it goes on long enough for me to see them again.

 I know I've brought it up before, but now there is more of a chance then ever.  Kylie Minogue is playing some in South American in November, and she just added a few more (I think 5 total).  Can you please get her to the US.  I'm sure she's thinking about it, but probably only doing NYC, LA, etc.  A DC show would be amazing, at any venue.
 
 Thanks so much!
 
 And thanks for Girl Talk.
Oh. My. Gawd. Yes!
 
 I've always thought she should do a North American Club Tour. Seth, can we make this happen? Yes, I realize it's nearly impossible, just putting it out there!

Hey Seth...  Revisiting a request from months ago about the Stray Cats.  I have no idea at all if they are going to hit the US eventually during this farewell tour but I don't see how they couldn't.  Anyway please get them to the club.  This would be a good thing.

heya seth old pal,
 
 the Easy Star All-Stars (of "dub side of the moon" and "Radiodread" fame) will be touring europe in a few weeks.  should they happen to do a stateside tour thereafter, i think they'd make a lovely addition to the 930's line-up.  thanks!

I really want to say they opened for someone in the area very recently but forget who it was.

Hey Seth, it looks like the Specials, or at least the Specials minus Jerry Dammers, have reunited and are looking to play shows next year.  How about a warm DC welcome with a sold out 930 gig or 2 or 5?    :)

you sure about that?  their website lists shows going back to march, and no DC/VA/MD dates... also, i'd be surprised to see them opening for someone else unless is was someone relatively big.  any chance that you're thinking of some other "all star" band?

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: lancha on September 17, 2008, 06:31:00 pm
yeah he pretty much only does DJ sets now from what i've read. I was at the coachella gig and it was just him on his laptop.
 
 but the choice of music was a "history lesson". He opened up with some public enemy and Run DMC, then played older dance music from the late 80s, then some gabba, then the 2nd half was straight up drill n bass and techno. The last five minutes of his set was nearly pure static with distorted screams over it. He also had a bunch of people in animal costumes come out on stage.
 
 the first half was a complete mindfuck because no one expected it to be like that. and he only had an hour which pissed me of.

Refunds were not available when I posted this. I contacted ticketmaster 4 times, including yesterday, and they said they can not give refunds until they hear from the promoter.
 
 But this morning I received an email about refunds. I also saw the cheaper pricing for the new show which makes me want to go again.  :)

I know I'm going to get laughed at for this but I want to request Jesse McCartney and Pink to get club shows around Decemeber.  They both are in Philly/ Camden doing a radio Christmas holiday concert Sunday December 14th.  And a small venue show in DC would be awesome, especially since Pink will have just released a CD, and I don't think she is touring in the US until next summer.  Thanks Seth!

you should give her a chance, jules.  she's quite good when she isn't doing tweeny-pop.  she's got a solid set of pipes and strong stage presence.  and she's sexy, to boot. not mind-blowing, but definitely solid.

How about switching around the Bad Brains/Flobots shows?
 
 Seeing Bad Brains in a great mood post-election results (election night this year will be significantly shorter than years past) would be even more of a trip.
 
 It'd probably also result in higher Flobots sales since their fans' average age is around 17.

Hey Seth, any chance you can have tickets.com add the price of tickets into the listing when they are future sales?  If you search 9:30 club shows on tickets.com, you get the shows that will be on sale starting Thursday, but no price listed til they are actually on sale.  Also, you have to use search term "930 Club" rather than "9:30 Club".  Thanks

I also would love this, but I realize it's a tickets.com issue, not something Seth can snap his fingers and make happen. Would be cool if prices were listed in email blasts.
 
 Oh and Seth, thanks for three nights of Thievery. Thrilled!

Not sure if this has been requested, but, hey, Seth, how about a return of Rufus Wainwright to the club in Feb.? He's doing some holiday and other shows now, but scheduled solo in Jersey and PA in Feb. '09.

re: Bands Reuniting

What's your a personal opinion on how long an artist/band should be "retired" before launching into a reunion.   Not a hiatus that is for a set time, but especially for the bands who bid farewell and then show up in what appears to be too short of a time.
I'd think that professionally you'd want whatever timeframe will bring in a decent concert $deal, but what do you think, as a music fan?

No such rule. You can't mandate something lke that.

First off, it sure does make a band look stupid to say they've officially retired and then come back only to do it all again. IE: The Rolling Stones.

The other thing is that you don't want to let a band keep waiting around to make a comeback only to lose any burst of energy, creative edge or audience interest. Waiting too long will only let it all wither away.

Bottom line: Any band calling it quits should be a little bit more on the ball and be careful how they publically stop putting out any new music or doing any tours. Sure you can say you've disbanded but never, ever burn that last bridge for a possible comeback regardless of how unexpected it may be.

Just my 2 cents.

Completely agreed with Jaguar.


Bands that never officially completely (say specifically that they're done forever) call it quits can resurface whenever and it's completely acceptable but when someone makes this huge deal about a given show or album being their last ever, their attempt to make a comeback just shouldn't be taken seriously. More times than not, comebacks such as this are nothing more than attempts to cash in. Sorry Walkonby but Trey Anastasio has an awful lot to prove. ;) Until then, he's nothing more to me than a musician passed his prime who needs cash to pay his bills/support his drug habits.

if i was phish, this is what i would have done.  the day i announced the hampton shows, and the blood of full tour wading, i would dedicate the month of december to a six day a week, three hour jam (faux shows of sorts) each evening to get back into the rhythm.  then for january i would dedicate the same crueling work week in studio proving i can still do new songs.  for february, i (as phish) would take myself out on the road with a preplanned city by city mini tour, playing only small out the way places as a phish cover band called a different name each show, in disguise, to hone the set before 3/6/09.

Playing along with your game, Swimonby, they could use some of the following names:

But if all failed and the tour was a bust, than they would have to officially change the name of the band to Flounder.

Did the Stones ever really say they officially retired?  I don't remember a big farewell tour or anything.   I know The Who did that and there's speculation around every Stones tour that "this might be the last one" - but I don't ever remember the band saying they were retiring.

<o> <3 Seth 2  ;D

And now, here's Dave Weckerman with the rest of the Feelies on Pete Doherty, which happens to be my thoughts exactly (video):

I'm thinking the 930 is too big for the Feelies...

Anyway, I saw them open for Sonic Youth on July 4th and they were nothing special.

Whatev!! Some of us ARE old farts...the Feelies fucking rule. Watch "Something Wild" during the reunion scene.

hey Seth, speaking of old bands (which incidentally still rock harder than most others), Social Distortion is celebrating 30 years...any chance you can bring them to the 9:30?

I always thought it would be SO cool if Social D did a series of shows where they recreated all their LPs in order from start to finish each night...minus Prison Bound of course. That'd be so fun. Seeing them do that with "Mommy's Little Monster" is something I'll never forget.

Hey I saw those shows too!  I think it was winter of 05 or 06 in southern california?  Mommy's Little Monster front to back....amazing shows.  Mike Ness was going OFF on stage. He looked like he was having a blast playing those songs.

is it wrong to love pete?  at first i thought he was going to be a show only toss off, but his music and songs are nice flowing and old stonish.  i can honestly say, that i've only listened to him as a babyshamble, and i find both albums great.  so there.

Hey Seth,

Any chance for Prince.  That would be awesome, maybe if he does an Arena tour can you snag him for a club show.

By the way, I noticed Pink is booked abroad for all of 2009 save one month.  Have they said there will be no US tour until 2010 or none at all?  I mean 1.5 years is a while to wait for a US tour from her.

Hell, Prince in an arena is fine by me.  Or a 21+ night stint at the 930 club.  Either one...

hey seth (still love ya) 

can we have a tall person only show and then a short person only show for each artist.  twice the shows, twice the ticket sales.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: eltee on January 07, 2009, 05:20:11 pm
Hey Seth, sorry for the short suspense, but how about John Doe? Perhaps another smaller club may be prudent (930 needs a "backstage" too) for him, but for what it's worth....

That is one of my favorite shows. It sucks that they dont tour the US more.  Too bad Nation didnt last, that was a good venue for things like Prodigy shows.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: bearman🐻 on January 08, 2009, 02:47:00 pm
I'll never forget the insanity of the Prodigy with Meat Beat Manifesto back in 1998 at 9:30. Easily one of the sweatiest concerts I've ever seen. During "Smack My Bitch Up" I remember thinking how I'd never seen the entire floor downstairs jumping up and down in one collective mass...it was intense. I still love that band, but it was "Experience" that made me a fan and I still think that's their best record. Another 9:30 show would be fun.

Hey Seth,

It's me, Charlie. I never ask you for anything. I've never once asked for Aphex Twin or any of the tired reunion crap that other boardies continually demand.

How about a Club appearance by Springsteen after his show on the Mall? With reasonably priced (double digit dollar amount) tickets for boardies.

Yours,

Mr. Nakatestes

I second this request, specifically with good pricing for boardies.  Hell, I'd even buy you a drink for it.

Would love to see some of the big musicians in town for inauguration (Kanye, Alicia Keys, etc) do shows at 9:30, but without the obscene Jay Z ticket price.

Jesse McCartney is touring in February/ early March apparently, any chance we can get that?  Or can you at least confirm if it's happening.

Thanks Seth.

Hey Seth,

How did you have U2 in DC with all their gear and no full gig to play, and NOT book a secret show in the club?  Would have blown Irving Plaza out of the water.  And if you say it's because you were in Pittsburgh for the playoffs - friendship over.

If my source is correct, MBV will be touring the US for about 2 weeks in front of Coachella. Either the 9:30 Club or Ram's Head would be such a nice treat. Would even suggest MPP but still too cold for that time of year. Though anywhere but Nissan which I'd have to opt out of. But wherever, here's hoping they give any of us a shot within the Mid-Atlantic!

Hey Seth

Any way you can work with tickets.com on their ridiculous and totally outrageous fees?  For instance, if I wanted to buy a TVOTR ticket, I'd have to pay a 40% markup in fees - $10 on a $25 ticket.  That is insane.  Esp since they charge $4 even if you pick up tickets at will call and don't have them mailed.  Can't you work out a deal like the Black Cat did with TM where there's a certain reasonable low flat fee?  the fees are killing me!

Thanks

Is it just me or does it seem like these days bands either end up doing huge festivals or they headline club gigs alone? Once upon a time, you'd have bigger bills of like 3 or 4 bands touring together. I guess maybe economically they all want a bigger slice of the pie...but I remember the days of Aphex Twin, the Orbital, Moby and Ultramarine touring together, or the time My Bloody Valentine, Blur, Dinosaur Jr. and the Jesus and Mary Chain toured in the UK. I can't fathom the buzz a tour like that would cause nowadays.

Well MPP isn't a club per se, but it appears Seth has heard you and listened.


Classic rock fans will have an opportunity to tap into a recession-relieving concert with the 2009 Can't Stop Rockin' tour, featuring REO Speedwagon, Styx and 38 Special. Ticket prices will be available for as low as $13.50 in most markets.

Presented by VH! Classic and Rock Band, the tour begins May 13 in Albuquerque, N.M. In acknowledgement of the tour, Styx and REO Speedwagon teamed up to record a new single, ?Can?t Stop Rockin?,? co-written by REO Speedwagon?s Kevin Cronin and Styx?s Tommy Shaw. ?Can?t Stop Rockin?? makes its radio debut in March and will be available for download.

Also, this has become my most requested.  Any chance for a Craig David show/ tour?

Don't Cobra Starship and FOB have essentially the same fanbase?



I guess it being a late night show would cut down on the teenieboppers but that would also result in an empty club. Fitty's stock has slipped drastically in the last three years.

The last time she played the area was at Iota in 2005. I don't think her popularity has grown by leaps and bounds since then.

I guess your statement holds true technically, but Arlington is close enough, right?

I don't think the club is generally responsible for picking opening acts unless they are someone local, am I wrong?

Hey Seth, I saw the Lady Gaga show in Richmond was scheduled for September 25th, any word on the rescheduled DC one?  Also, as per her blog, the show did indeed switch to a bigger venue (Landmark), and I know she'll probably do this for DC too.  Please find an alternative to DAR and Patriot Center for the show.  DAR doesn't allow dancing, and Patriot Center is way too far away.

Also, if possible, can you find some way to make sure the prior ticket holders (9:30 show holders) get the best seats possible at the new show, or make the floor or something similar GA for us?  Considering I work, I can't beat all the teens to the venue to wait in line.  And there is no way I can do a GA Patriot Center/ DAR after expecting to see her at the club.  Thanks!

i could be wrong, but i think he meant "dar doesn't allow for dancing", meaning it's a seated venue so it's not intended nor ideal for dancing.  you're stuck in the small confined space between your chair and the one in front of you, you'll be shoo'ed if you try dancing in the aisles, etc.  no one is going to tell you you can't dance (except possibly the snarky dance-nazi seated beside you).

uhmmmm, every venue from warner to verizon to dar to nissan to wherever has those same seats with those same seat space issues, and people dance the night away with no problem, whether shoulder to shoulder or partially in the aisle.  people behind you who tell you to sit, just say this . . . , "sorry i am not as old as you."

Either way, wasn't the first announced Pumpkins reunion show billed as their first US date, only to have another one booked before it?  Not calling the concert promoters in Richmond liars, but billing something as the only mid-Atlantic show wouldn't certainly sell a lot of tickets in a farther region, especially if no other one was announced yet...

Great fact finding:

There are differing interpretations as to the actual composition of the Mid-Atlantic. Sometimes, the nucleus is considered to consist of Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia, with additional states possibly included.[5] Other sources consider New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey to be the core Mid-Atlantic states, with others sometimes included.[6] For example, since the 1910 census, the Mid-Atlantic Census Division has included New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, which combined with the New England Division, comprised the Northeast Census Region.[7]

And being a resident of the mid-Atlantic, I don't have a problem with not counting NJ as part of my region.

i think this is an excellent idea.  the club has been huge in developing the DC music scene, this info should be preserved.

i must have about 100 ticket stubs from 2004-2006 so i'd be happy to provide info about shows from that period.  another info source: those cool old monthly calendars on the back bar's walls that list all the bands that played the club in the 90's (i really enjoy perusing those).  maybe there are more sitting around somewhere?

I am not 13 year old out of school for the summer with mommy and daddy's credit card. I have a job.  I work , and I have paid for my tickets in the past,but know with the way this was done I will say that last years V-fest will be MY last one.

I would just like to say that the way tickets for v-fest were distributed is bs. As a multiple v-fest concert goer, giving the so called pre-sale on a Thursday at 10:00 a.m. was stupid . I am not 13 year old out of school for the summer with mommy and daddy's credit card. I have a job.  I work , and I have paid for my tickets in the past,but know with the way this was done I will say that last years V-fest will be MY last one. Not only that , I will no longer attend anything @ MMP or the 9:30 club.

Hey now, at least they offered a presale (2 in fact if you count the weezer one). You cant blame Seth or MPP here - they did what they could. I mean, they're giving us a festival for free and allowing previous goers first dibs at the tickets. They can't pick a presale time that will please everyone. Your blame and hatred shouldn't be towards them, nor should it be the little 13 year olds with daddy's credit card (well, maybe them..); your blame should be towards the people right now on ebay and stubhub. This kind of thing happens, whether it be a free show or not. Seth and co. did what they could to help us before it would get bad, and I applaud them for that.

Well said, Seth. Well Said.

It's not Seth's fault. Do you know how hard it is to control the distribution of FREE tickets in the VMFreeFest?? Unless everyone has to do buy the tickets on a certain date by physically driving to the office, there isn't much option. Ok, so the 13 year old kid wants to go to the festival, do you have seniority over him? That only works in highschool man, there's many kids who work their ass off to get money. And the kid doesn't need his mommy or daddy's credit card since the festival is free. :) Aside from the point, the festival is free, things are going to be chaotic, and stuff like this happen all the time. You have chances to get your tickets, don't worry about it, this whole free thing is a publicity stunt, and I hope it would be the last of them, since I want a full-fledged festival. Seth didn't do anything wrong, and if you're not going to attend any shows in the IMP or 9:30 club, then you're just a pooh-pooh head.

Seriously, you get shutout it happens.  I got shutout because I was driving to Ohio (ugh) for a wedding on Thursday morning, and then at said wedding on Saturday morning.  It happens.

If you want to go, something may happen.  I plan on waiting and seeing if additional tickets are released, checking with friends, pleading with board members.. something, i dunno.  35,000 tickets are out there and I think it's safe to say that all of them don't have names on them just yet.

a LOT of them don't have names on them yet.  scalpers will quickly realize that people aren't willing to pay much for these tickets as the date approches (anyone willing to pay $$$ for them will have done so earlier), they won't pick them up in late august, and a ton will be released on 8/29.

Hey Seth,

When the sign outside says "NO PRO VIDEO" does that mean no video at all or does it mean no pro video... The staff at the club tonight (Hank III) seemed confused....

Personally it seems to me that if there was no video at all allowed it should say "NO VIDEO"...
Title: Re: Hey Seth

no pro video usually means cell phone and small digital camera video is ok.  anything that is specifically designed only to shoot video would not be ok.

I'm curious about this too...was the no pro video/no pro audio rule last night solely the wish of Hank III's management?  Because I was able to film last night but only after having Shelton's road manager get me a pass (and after getting bitched out by Shelton for asking him that afternoon to give the club a heads up via his road manager because he felt he had cleared taping with anyone who brought in equipment so why am I even asking him since I can go right through the door with my stuff).  Of course that wasn't the case as I was held at the door for a couple minutes while things were cleared up even with my pass in hand.  I don't fault the club whatsoever for double checking as they were going by the rules set in place that night but I am curious whether Shelton's management is the one who made the no-taping call if that question can be answered thanks!

the policy is always gone over in the pre show meeting.  if there's ever any doubt, ask to speak with the crew chief on duty.

the band sets the policy.  we enforce it to the best of our abilities.  if i recall, your gear was slightly more than what we would consider non-pro video (which really doesn't include actual video cameras), so they checked up and got you a pass. 

people that hide in the crowd to get away with recording something they aren't supposed to do are specifically going against the wishes of the artist they are there to support. 

we're not trying to hassle people, we're trying to enforce the wishes of the talent.  it's not a perfect system, and sometimes their wishes aren't clearly conveyed to us.  we do our best, and if the crowd cooperates, it's all cool. 

trust me, our jobs would be a lot easier if the bands would allow all cameras, audio, video, drawing pads, etch-a-sketch, charcoal, watercolors, or whatever.  since that is rarely the case, we have to do the best we can.

I was just curious because for the shit I caught from III that afternoon basically telling me that's it's never a problem to film so don't bother asking (which in fact I wasn't going to ask him for permission like he assumed, I was going to ask him to put me on the list for a VIP pass to film up top for a better angle but I wasn't able to get a word in edgewise haha) it's funny that they then put up restrictions.  The exchange happened in the front lobby about 10 minutes before you arrived, if you had seen it you would have realized how fucking bizarre it was haha

BUT, she's never really done a headlining US tour, aside from a SHITTY opening gig for Beyonce and Alicia Keys back in...2003? It was bad.

She had a live band and three killer background singers that all used to be R&B stars in their own right (Lil' Mo, Nicole Wray, and Cheryl Riley). She would own it at the 930 Club.

I think there is option to play a smaller club in DC too. The post seemed to be open to adding another date/club. Plus, Seth is very good are luring people (please Seth?:)) 930 would be the best spot. (second to RHL, but I seriously want the 930 staph and atmosphere for this request).
NO to Patriot Center or Verizon or DAR. Besides, those centers do not sound like what they want.

from www.nin.com: "Getting right to the point, we're going to play a handful of shows in NYC, Chicago and LA starting August 22nd. They will be informal affairs in medium to small venues with longer set-lists, possible special guests, cool openers and other surprises. Upon reflection, the NIN/JA tour felt like we had to rush through sets due to a limited allotted set length and many shows were in daylight - it just didn't feel right to end NIN that way. An offer to headline V-Fest in Toronto (being announced soon) set the idea in motion to play some FUN shows to end this up with. If we can get it together we'll film these shows, too.

In NYC we'll be playing Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5. In Chicago, the Aragon Ballroom. In LA we'll be at The Wiltern, The Henry Fonda, The Palladium and The Echoplex. These should be cool, unusual and unique shows and I hope you come out - this is it.

So far, The Horrors will be joining us for some shows in NYC, Mew will be with us at other shows in NYC, Chicago and LA, and perhaps more. Details and ticket info will be announced shortly, so check back.

Thanks, Trent"

How big are these venues in NYC?

here is some venue info for the new shows :

Webster 1400,
Aragon 4500,
Wiltern 2200,
Henry Fonda 1200,
Palladium 4000,
Echoplex 580,
Bowery 550
Thanks! I think i will try and hit one of the NY shows. 

It's "try TO hit" not "try AND hit"...  Sorry folks that is my fingernails across the chalkboard thing.  Now back to your regularly scheduled discussions!

dunno - maybe he's a terrorist who really really hates NIN fans.  in which case, "try and hit one of the NY shows" would make sense.

sorry, no dc for you.
I think there is option to play a smaller club in DC too. Plus, Seth is very good are luring people (please Seth?:)) 930 would be the best spot. (second to RHL, but I seriously want the 930 staph and atmosphere for this request).
I need to correct my post as well. Original intent: "...(second choice: RHL)"
[hypnotize]930, 930, Seth[/hypnotize]

Sure.. and pigs fly.

Both those statements are patently absurd.

You may like Broadcast 10x more than Stereolab but thats about it...Anyways, don't hold your breath cause they ain't playing the 930 (unless they are opening).

There is no way Broadcast could even sell 200 tickets. Did they even sell out the Black Cat when they were the hipster flavor of the month back around 2000/2001?

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on July 10, 2009, 11:47:24 pm
You know what would be a great act to bring though...

Andres Calamaro (Argentine rocker).. He'd sell the place out and it would be cool for the 930 to bring around a few more Latin rock acts....

I tried to contact his manager Olga Castreno about coming to DC but I'm a nobody and I can't blame her for not replying. Truth is he can make so much money playing Spain and Latin America he might not be interested but IMP should try! I also tried to have LN go for it but they had no interest; I don't think they know who he is frankly.

Another option would be a big Latin Rock festival - but with serious acts- at Merriweather...Cafe Tacuba/Calamaro/Julieta Venegas... Venegas and Calamaro could even duet on "Sin Documentos"...

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs didn't play DC because they didn't get the offer they were looking for..a shame...they would have been a great choice for that merriweather Latin Rock Festival...

Also, Babasonicos have never played DC that I know of..and they would do very well..Its a shame no one from the 930 thinks about these bands... Babasonicos has been repeatedly playing NYC but they never come here.. The 930 is the best place for these bands. Babasonicos have got to be the best Latin Rock band of the moment having put out FOUR superlative records in a row including two or three produced by Andrew Weiss (yes the same guy who did all the Ween records); these guys are not fooling around.

Tired of the same tired acts .. bring somebody new and it would be nice to have some Latin rock/music acts...This is a very underserved market (the ocasional State Theatre show and Amigos Invisibles show).. How about Joaquin Sabina from Spain?? I don't think he's ever played DC and again he'd sell it out and he's pretty much the spanish speaking world's Bob Dylan.

And for those that think there isn't a market for this both Los Autenticos Decadentes and Gustavo Cerati  got pretty close to selling out the State Theatre with next to no advertising. And the State is not the best place for these shows because an overwhelming amount of the audience goers are from DC.

I've had all this on my mind for a while Seth and I hope you'll give it some consideration.. There's a lot of hispanics in DC and we're not all Luis Miguel or Daddy Yankee fans and frankly we are being neglected.

And Seth thanks for Manu Chao at Merriweather, Los Amigos at 930 (twice now that I count), and all the great shows (Toots coming up, Dead Weather, you name it..). I'd just like to see more Latin rock and there are many bands (top bands) that are passing on DC because nobody is making the play.

they will be in NYC in September. They just cancelled their July date up here. And not that this will help too much - but theres the LAMC (Latin Alternative Music Conference) in NYC every year. I think it just ended this weekend, and Calle 13 were awesome. I also really liked Eric Bobo.

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs didn't play DC because they didn't get the offer they were looking for..a shame...they would have been a great choice for that merriweather Latin Rock Festival...

I don't go to NYC for shows anymore unless its someone like Joao Gilberto or on my short short list. I don't have that type of time..

My point is these bands should play DC because there is a market (maybe not for the Fabulosos Cadillacs or Soda Stereo reunions; at least not for the money they want) and that nobody is supplying...

I hope Seth considers getting more involved in booking these bands.. if he doesn't eventually someone else will cause everyday there are more and more hispanics with more and more money...Its economics

I thought they sounded perfect live, it's just theyre very lackluster live. Seen then twice, the music was spot on but it was just like listening to the record but with fancy lights. They need to spruce up their live act. On top of that I could never understand a damn thing Alex says between songs.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: sweetcell on July 14, 2009, 03:54:15 pm
you'll note that i didn't say "vs. how bad they sound live" - i said "vs. how disappointing their live show is."  the disappointment comes from listening to the album, thinking that these guys are going to tear it up on stage like the rock'n'roll bad boys that they sound like... only to find a bunch of stiffs who seem to resent their audience.

they do indeed sound fine on stage, but i want something more than mediocre performance of the album.  i could stay at home for free and listen to the CD, while drinking much cheaper beer.

You would be correct.

If fucking Hercules and Love Affair can play 930, so can Broadcast. (No, they didn't sell out the Black Cat in 2005, but they've only built their following since then. Also, the new album will be major hipster buzz, I'm sure.)

--

Also, Seth can we get ESG at the 930? They played a sold-out show at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC back in January, and I'm sure they'd love to get a DC gig on the books, too. It's been a long while since they've played a DC show, and I bet people would turn out. :)

Seth, since you have gotten a few big acts at the club lately (ZZ Top and Hall and Oats) why not go for one of the biggest?  Madonna has a new cd coming out and she usually does small venue promo tours.  She said she wouldn't play DC as long as Bush is president and since he's no longer in office could you sway her to the club or any venue in DC.  I don't even care if it's RFK.

Also La Roux is doing a mini US tour.  They cancelled their show at Town which was supposed to be a month ago, any chance for a make up show at the club?  They are in NYC and Boston the nights before.  Thanks.

Just want to say thanks Seth for putting together a fab Free Fest. We had a great time, even if getting inside the pavillion itself was daunting.  But the West stage was perfect and made the event truly enjoyable.  It's been a tough summer, workwise, with furlough days and decreased pay-checks so having a free concert event was a real gift. Much thanks again to you and Richard Branson and everyone else who threw it together. It was a great and fun day. We'll be sure to participate again next year !

I wouldnt mind seeing Low and/or the Polyphonic Spree at the club again. 

Both bands put on excellent shows last time.  (Low was way under attended though... Im thinking maybe they will end up at a smaller venue the next time. I would imagine I have to wait for new albums by both bands as well...)

Maybe some Aphex Twin?  Or Squarepusher?  Or Ulrich Snauss?

I know, and even though I didn't say anything prior, I do realize they are fairly new to the scene and this might be better held at BC or RnR, etc. However, they could tag on with another band or two at a larger venue (that's twangirl's or their booker's job.;)). Also, this is a wishlist and until BC has one I can chime in upon, I'm asking here.

Ben solo was at the club (couple years ago, it looked pretty full from the way back...Even if they don't sell out the club - I doubt they would sell out DAR, especially on their first go. Club show preferred here too.
I haven't heard their music yet - anyone have link? I understand if you order the dvd you receive a MP3.

Jay Farrar is far from a "washed up alt-country singer". His Son Volt show at the club on Tues did quite nicely and he's got a great band together. The man can write a song, whether you appreciate his style or not.

any chance you counl not sell/release 1200 tickets to the new year's eve show with sharon jones?  i suspect i'm making an impossible/impractical request, but personally i wouldn't mind spending my NYE not packed shoulder-to-shoulder... the ability to easily navigate from my spot to the bar and back would be nice.  i'm not saying sell only 100 tickets, but something less than over-stuffed would be a big plus.  i suspect tickets are going to be expensive as compared to her last 930 show and i'm fine with that, i'm just hoping that in return for that 100% mark-up (or whatever the exact number it), we could have 10-20% less people in the club.

Seriously tho, I'd tell those people what I always tell them when they get shut out of a show that didn't sell out immediately (and at jacked-up NYE prices this show won't) - "you should have bought tickets earlier".

Sometime the 1st half of the year. Possibly, as early as February 2010. Still working out schedules.

Unfortunately, this is only a very limited, one-off tour. For we in the US, it's going to be only NY & Calif..

Probably May but I have a feeling that they are now considering a few other stops besides the standard NYC & CA gigs.

Chris Brown embarks on 'Fan Appreciation' tour (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/20/AR2009102003065.html?hpid=entnews)

NEW YORK -- It's safe to say Chris Brown does not have as many fans as he did before he attacked Rihanna (ree-AH'-nah). But he still has some, and he's going on tour to thank them next month.

The singer is kicking off his "Fan Appreciation" tour in Houston on Nov. 14. The venues are small, but a statement from his record company says it's to keep an "intimate" setting. A portion of tour proceeds are going to charities.

Brown, 20, was sentenced in August to five years' probation, six months of community labor and a year of domestic violence counseling for the February attack on Rihanna. He's due to perform at his first concert since the attack in New Jersey next week, and has a new song, "I Can Transform Ya."

we can save ourselves a long string of "seconded", "thirded", etc by agreeing that there is widespread support for this statement.  they'd definitely sell out the club (much more uncertain about DAR, so let's not go there shall we?  thanks.)

Hey Seth,

Thanks for bringing La Roux in a few months.  Is there any way we could get Boston-esqe prices of $13-15, or the original ticket price for the show that was supposed to be at Town ($12), as opposed to the $25 being charged in NYC?

I know this is a huge stretch, but since she has never really done a US tour, a Rihanna show promoting the new album would be awesome.  I'll even take Patriot Center for this.

Hey Seth...  Thanks very much for the Joe Perry show at Rams Head.  I was in NJ last night to see his show and it was well worth the drive.  Seeing him again in B'more will kick ass.  Just got home a few minutes ago and got the email about the VIP M&G pass give away but I missed the deadline by a few hours.  But seeing him again is Xmas gift enough.  Thanks big time for this.

Hey Seth, this request may be a bit of a stretch, but it can't hurt to ask.

2-12  The Dome  London, UK
2-17  Le Poison Rouge  New York, NY
2-18  Middle East Downstairs  Cambridge, MA
2-19  Empty Bottle  Chicago, IL

any chance of maybe bringing him to the club After the London show and before the New York show?

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: sweetcell on January 15, 2010, 05:23:19 pm
dear seth,

i had a pretty bad customer experience this morning during the spoon onsale.  the monday show displayed a "sold out" message from 10:00 to about 10:08; while the tuesday show allowed me to request tickets but always came back with "error: that quantity of tickets not available, please try a lower quantity" message even when i requested a single ticket.  on some ticketing systems, this is synonymous with "sold out".

however, around 10:08, tickets became available for both shows.  i, and i suspect many others, panicked and immediately bought them.

obviously the monday show was not sold out at 10:01 am - tickets were available for several hours after 10:08.  the message for the tuesday show was confusing - how can i ask for less than 1 ticket?  and both messages were wrong, as many tickets were available later on.  could you ask TicketFly and to find some alternate way of telling the user that tickets will be available shortly, but the service can't sell them right now?  ("sold out" is not the same as "available soon").  can you also confirm/deny that holding back tickets and letting them trickle out is how TF handles high-demand onsales?

both dates are now showing "sold out", but who knows what that really means.  a ticketing agency that we can't trust - great, huh?

i'm not the only one who isn't impressed (see quote below). i hope the transition to TicketFly has been a good one for you, because so far it's done little other than alienate your customers.  thanks!

seems to work for the club's bottom line, though!  more fees!  Cause a panic and make people pay fees they wouldn't pay if they waited to just walk up to the window during a lunch break!  pretty awesome for them.  So far,

exactly what happened with me. oh well. at least i didn't get killed my an earthquake this week.

Date specification? It actually works sometimes, whether they intend to benefit me or not.

yes, my comment was in reference to your date specifications.  if a band is playing philadelphia on march 1 and raleigh on march 3, guess when they'll be playing the 930?  how well do you think this conversation would go: "we'd love to have you perform at the 930, but march 2 doesn't work for us... maybe you guys could hit up atlanta and tampa first, then swing back by DC on your way to texas?  that way we could sell at least one more ticket..."

between the band's schedule, the club's availability/previous bookings, and who knows what other business concerns go in to these contracts, i feel that asking for a specific date is pointless.  if a date request of yours has been met i'd chalk it up as a happy coincidence  :)

Chock it up however you like, sweetie, I do. Coincidence, yes, but when I gamble it doesn't hurt to ask.
(as you did when you asked for a show not to be oversold.) 
A couple of my date wishes have happened. In this case, I didn't look at Peter Gabriel's dates, relying on another who wrote  "May".
(Sorry for the needless cross-talk, everyone.)

And, it's Scorpions, dontcha know?;)

maybe it's the scorpions... according to http://www.the-scorpions.com/english/ they've recorded their last album and are going to do a farewell tour.  maybe hutch has heard that IMP is bringing them to DC?

either that, or "the scorps" are going on before florence and the machine...

June 19th, 2010 M3 festival in Columbia, Maryland - at Merriweather Post Pavilion

Confirmed acts: Scorpions(Headliner), LA Guns, Danger Danger, Nelson, Kix, Dizzy Reed, Jetboy, Z02 from Z Rock and Warrant

Other acts they are talking to are:TESLA,JACKYL, DIRTY LOOKS, SEBASTIAN BACH, WINGER AND BRITNY FOX


Meh....

I would see a Scorpions show in a heartbeat.  But not as part of this kind of Jaxxapalooza.

Yes, at least once. Possibly even a second time though not too sure on that one. First time was maybe the Fall of 2001. Or possibly Spring of 2002. Heard they had a gauzy type of cloth or screen in front of them so that they played behind that. Might have been projections on the thing but I might be making that part up. I wasn't there so only going by what all I heard.

This one (at the club) has me speechless so I'll just let it speak for itself:
W 4/7 Mayhem w/ Ludicra ? Tombs ? Krallice 10pm Doors

Where the fuck does one begin in expressing a reaction to such a bill?

Thanks for the most ridiculous/unexpected black metal lineup I've seen in a while.

i didn't know what you meant by your first post... i thought you were mocking/poking fun at that line-up.

Heard they had a gauzy type of cloth or screen in front of them so that they played behind that. Might have been projections on the thing but I might be making that part up.

this time around - or at least at coachella - they'll be projecting on a clear plastic screen stretched across the front of the stage, using some new high-tech projection technology.  it will look like the animated characters are on stage with the musicians.  given the amount of tech going in to this show, should it hit the road i suspect they'd put it in bigger venues... so yeah, DAR, if not bigger (patriot, etc).

OH HELLS YES.  their last show in brooklyn was mind-blowing... amazing visuals and the place turned into a giant, ecstatic dance party.  i, and several thousand other people, left the show on a huge high.  quote of the night, on the way out of the venue: "FUCK THE PYRAMID!!!", in reference to daft punk's show.  it's definitely up there with DP's stage show (however, the frenchies still win this head-to-head IMO.. but it's a good fight). 

they played at coachella last year, didn't they?  anyone catch their set?

not sure if the club is big enough for the chem bros, considering how much equipment they cart around and the size of the production... maybe MPP?  now that would rule.  whether DC could fill MPP for a CB show is the pertinent question.  i am definitely catching them if they play on the east coast.  i'd rather not trek to NYC, but i will if i have to.  seth, don't make me go to NYC!

sweetcell, I was at that same Brooklyn show. My friend and I came from Richmond for it and had a great time. However, the audience at that show was kinda lame where I was. They were barely moving and just kinda bopping their heads. Tom even look frustrated at one point, yelling "come on!" to the crowd or so it seemed. But it was a great show on their part, and I'd love to see them again. If I had to, and had more people going, I'd be willing to go to NYC again to see them.

They wont play MPP, they're not that big unfortunately. They'll play the 9:30 if anywhere (which would be an awesome venue for them!). Their last tour reportedly didn't sell that well :(

Their set at Coachella was pretty good. It was a DJ set and not a live, so expectations were different. They played a more classic/old school mix which left a lot of people feeling it was "meh", but whatever. I really enjoyed it. They briefly played some of their own music (saturate, song to the siren).

As much as I would love for it to happen, Aphex wont happen. The only way he'll come over to the States anytime soon is probably ATP. Coachella got lucky with that, and they still kinda blew it. He said in an interview that he was disappointed he only had an hour, and thus had to cut his set short.

His set was still incredible, though.

In retrospect, that Aphex Twin show is something I'll NEVER forget. Sorry to rub it in, but truly it was a special moment in time. I'll never, EVER forget hearing "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" blasting through the club, or the teddy bears from "Donkey Rhubarb" come parading out. Insane.

yeah, i don't think the opportunity will ever come up again.  i just didn't think anyone had yet posted it this year, so i felt obligated (especially with the requests for some other electronic acts lately).  was the show sold out? i don't even remember.  there's also no way in hell it would only be $15 again.

Post by: bearman🐻 on February 22, 2010, 12:56:49 pm
I don't think it was sold out, but there was a good crowd since Sneaker Pimps and Death in Vegas were on the bill too. That was truly one of those events where it was such a moment in time...the sofa, coffee table and laptop to me was pretty ridiculous until the music started to play. Richard was curled up and he could have been checking e-mail for all you knew, but the music was insane...and then when the 2 Donkey Rhubarb bears came out to dance, it went from surreal to just plain absurd. But in a way that was genius. That whole night was truly epic. Oddly enough, the Sneaker Pimps got the main dressing room for whatever reason...I think at one point I was hanging out with them while Death in Vegas was playing.

Damn, hearing about these live Aphex shows make me jealous as can be. When were they? Before 2002 I'm assuming, because prior to Coachella in 08, his only stateside gig was at UCLA in 2002.

I saw his Coachella set and it was a complete mindfuck. It was a DJ set, I don't think he even does "live" sets anymore. He only had an hour to go, too. He opens with Public Enemy's "welcome to the terrordome", and then plays some old hip hop, and then onto old Chicago house from the 80s. The entire crowd was confused, and people were leaving left and right. Around the 25 minute mark, he plays a bit of gabba, and then breaks into some of the most intense drill n bass, jungle, techno, and drum n bass I've ever heard for the remaining of his set. It was basically a "history of electronic music" set. During the last 15 minutes, four guys wearing animal costumes came onstage and started dancing to it, and the last five minutes of the set were basically glaring noise with looped screams over it. After it turned off, he simply stood up, gave a thumbs up to the crowd, and walked off stage. My friend and I just looked at each other and started laughing - our jaws had hit the floor. The most brilliant and intense set I saw all weekend.

as posted before this, it was 1997.  it was a pretty short tour.. maybe 10-ish dates? it was a few weeks before the US release of the 'come to daddy' ep.  it was just major cities like dc, boston, nyc, chicago, etc.  it was not a dj set.  probably my favorite 930 show.  even though i worked all day, went to the show (doors@1130?) and got home at 630 and then worked all day again, it was very much worth it.

It was a VERY late show...the date was September 5, 1997. I remember him playing "Bucephalous Bouncing Ball" and was like "what IS this?" but loving it.

But on the Aphex scale, I'd also put the Kraftwerk shows from 2005 up there. There'd be no Aphex without "Metal on Metal".

I remember sleeping about 13 hours nonstop after the Aphex show. I woke up at about 5pm, then had to head over to the club to work Luna, which was SO sedate by comparison. I love "Pup Tent" though, great record. It was incredibly sedate after Aphex though.

Also, Sting is touring w/ an orchestra I think at most shows...guess he couldn't swing by for something even more intimate? Either way would love it if you could get your hands on the show vice another outlet.

i did enjoy those kraftwerk shows too, but i guess my view is a little different since i'd just seen them 4th row in miami about 6 months earlier (and also at coachella)... and the people around me on the second night were incredibly chatty.

Hey Seth, how about being a little more "green" and using recycled, partially recycled, or less glossy earth friendly paper for the snail mail newsletter? (unless it is one of those and I can't tell?)
Since the newsletter contains different information than the email blast, of course, I want to continue receiving them. (especially for those times the email doesn't reach me.) Sorry to use one of my wishes for this, but I thought it might be a good suggestion and the Earth thanks you too. (probably cheaper $ paper out there too)

But it would depress me as fuck if Pavement came back after a decade only to play the same venue (930 Club) they always played for the same people that always went...

I got your point. I just chose to ignore it and rag on the RNR Hotel because it sucks and its owner (one of its owners?) needs to be tarred, feathered and ridden out of DC on a rail. . They had some damn cool ideas in the middle ages that we never should have abandoned. That is one of them. Any concert booker  who bans 25 bands in one year should not be anywhere near the music industry.



Mono didn't sell it out the last time they played it, did they? Where is Mono's next local date? In all seriousness, though,  The Fall would be more likely to play the BC than anywhere else.

From http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/display.php?id=1962

"Lambert says he put approximately 25 bands on his do-not-book list over the course of the last year, although his criteria are a little different from Ferrando?s. What gets you banned from the Rock & Roll Hotel, DC9, and the Red & the Black? Bringing alcohol into the building, disrespecting venue staff, and grossly overestimating a crowd, he says. Do that, he says, and ?you?ll never, ever play another one of my shows.?"

If I recall, snailhook said something to the fact that he's never banned 25 bands in his entire career of booking shows.  I'm not really into the he-said, he-said of the back & forth, but 25 in a year does seem pretty outrageous...

Listen this is the silliest discussion ever but thanks for providing quote..

Its a known fact that different clubs will not book certain types of music yet I don't hear anyone complaining about that..

I mean the Black Cat on their very website makes it clear what kind of music they look to book and what they are not interested..

So if a promoter will not rebook certain bands what is the big deal? At least he booked them in the first place....

And say what you will about Red and Black but at least they book local bands quite often.. You've got to admit the 930 hardly ever books local bands... Is booking local bands regularly a good thing? I would think so!

Its just silly to get bent out of shape because a promoter says he won't book certain bands.. they all pass judgment in one way or another.

I'm sure the complaints about RRH go deeper than that!

you've completely missed the point.  refusing to book a jazz band, because you're not looking to promote jazz events, makes business sense. 

refusing to re-book a band because of issues you have with them also makes good biz sense.

BUT a promoter bans TWENTY FIVE acts in one year (vs. other who haven't banned half as many in 10+ years)... ya start to wonder who is the problem - the bands, or the promoter.  scratch that.  you don't wonder, you know.

I think you're getting caught in semantics here...  Moreover, you have no idea how many acts anybody else bans per year.

Really you guys are just trying to stir the pot with respect to RNRH.. If they want to "ban"- and I think its a silly word to latch on to even if the RNRH dude used it (probably thinking he was cool..)- or refuse to rebook bands because they are not meeting their expectations then there is nothing wrong with that.. At least they gave them a chance in the first place.

Also, you really have to THINK about this:

the bands the RNH dude is booking- many of them are young semi-professionals bands..its a different type of band from the 930... some of the bands playing the DC9/Red and Blac are really just young kids.... These types of bands will more often do things that mean you don't get invited back than say the established professional bands that make their living on touring: the types of bands that play the 930.

Moreover, you have no idea how many acts anybody else bans per year.

oh really? you need to catch up on the conversation before you join in.  from the same thread i linked before:
Damn. I've been booking all ages shows in Washington DC for 22 years, including 6 or 7 concurrent years in Baltimore, and while I've certainly had issues with bands and even banned a few, I'd be hard-pressed to come up with even 15 bands I've banned during my entire career.

TA-DAH! (in case you're new around here, tawngirl is the main booker at the 930).  that's less than one a year, vs 25 a year.

Really you guys are just trying to stir the pot with respect to RNRH.. If they want to "ban"- and I think its a silly word to latch on to even if the RNRH dude used it (probably thinking he was cool..)- or refuse to rebook bands because they are not meeting their expectations then there is nothing wrong with that.. At least they gave them a chance in the first place.

again, back to the point you've avoided: not doing business with some acts makes sense.  25 in one year, however, is RIDICULOUSLY HIGH.

Also, you really have to THINK about this:

the bands the RNH dude is booking- many of them are young semi-professionals bands..its a different type of band from the 930... some of the bands playing the DC9/Red and Blac are really just young kids.... These types of bands will more often do things that mean you don't get invited back than say the established professional bands that make their living on touring: the types of bands that play the 930.

very valid point, but doesn't cover the story IMO.  i doubt that twangirl has been booking big acts her entire career (see above quote), and snailhook deals with similar acts, yet:
i have been booking here since 2003 and have banned two bands, and only because of violence and destruction of venue equipment.

It looks as though the smallest venue Pavement are playing in the US so far is The Tabernacle (2600).


Sadly, it'll probably have to be DAR or nothing.


Or like 3-4 nights at the club?


Edit: Untrue. Uptown Theatre in KC holds 1700.


But Kansas City probably contains a smaller Pavement fanbase than DC.

Any chance of booking some salsa? How about living legend Larry Harlow? He'd be great...He's doing some interesting stuff this summer up in NYC including performing the album La Raza Latina with Ruben Blades, etc...

Have your minions at least look into it please! I've written bout it before but 930 could really book more latin shows no? I mean there is a sizable latino community here and I think its underserved by the concert offerings

PM me if you'd like some good ideas on this

Hey Seth,
Jakob Dylan is set to release a new solo album on Apr. 6. Tour dates may be in the works...if so, can you please grab him and bring him back to the club? I've missed the two times he has been to the club. Would love the opportunity to see him at the club. Thanks!
Seth, almost got my wish....Can he also come to 930 [in addition to RHL], please? 930 is more intimate and RHL is a trek mid-week. Thanks! (and he is w/ Neko.:))


*edit* It would help if I read the email blast first. Well, thank you, Seth for granting my detailed wish (and squeezing him into a busy 930).

What's your East regional bracket looking like?  Kentucky is the 1 seed, but the SEC was pretty lame this year and they didn't play anyone else of importance.  West Virginia looks pretty strong but betting on Bob Huggins in a tournament is a crapshoot.  Wisconsin is a beast statistically but have lost to some pretty mediocre teams this year.  How 'bout a little guidance?

Hey Seth,
Word on the streets is this Jesus dude is coming back. If he does a small club tour before going big, could you book him without an opening act? I'd be curious to see him but don't want to sit through a pope or kirk cameron song and dance.
It would also be helpful to announce beforehand what varietal of wine he creates from water. It would be nice to know if I need to get my drink on before the show.

After the shit that got done to him the last time he came here, I highly doubt he's planning on making a return appearance. And if by chance he did, I don't think somebody with the name "Hurwitz" would get the booking rights.

Oh, Sting was placed at Lubeville. Makes sense. Realize now last time I saw him was at the Pavillion formerly known as Nissan. I think I was hoping for an intimate show, such as the ones he held in NYC recently. Perhaps after the summer.

would be nice, but sting is charging $182 + fees for orchestra seats in lubeville (love the name) and something like $250 for the best seats at the hollywood bowl.  do you have any idea what he'd charge for a club/intimate venue date??  i believe that those small NYC dates were warm-up shows for this tour.

I think the Sting shows were holiday themed...I pinged a friend who went to ask how much tickets cost.

*edit* her reply: Sting played songs from his "Winter" album in the cathedral - cheaper seats which I think were $120. The next price up was $250 then $325 if I'm remembering correctly."

Hey Seth..

Arcade Fire are getting back on the road for festivals.  Having them at freefest would be great.  But what would be even better is having them at the club on their tour that I'm assuming will follow the summer festival tour.  I know, I know, they've grown up and are a big band now and the club is not their likely destination in the area, but if you could coerce (or convince) them into a 2-3 night stand at the club instead of a bigger venue, it'd be much appreciated.

Not use a website that can't handle the demand for the venue?  Or once it was proven that it can't, get rid of it immediately?  It's nice that you want to take on ticketmaster, but it's coming at the expense of fans.  How many collective hours of productivity were lost during the Phish sale?  10,000+?  Let ticketfly improve their server capacity, but until then quit using that site.  The fees on ticketfly seem to be largely the same as ticketmaster's anyway, so as a customer I don't see the benefit.  As a fan buying tickets, the only thing I care about is convenience, not some battle between companies.  Continuing to use a ticket provider for a large amphitheatre when the site is obviously designed to only handle clubs would be so incredibly stubborn.

I don't know if this would work, but here is an idea.  For Merriweather shows and really high demand things at 9:30 that also overwhelm their system (like Spoon), what about going old school and selling tix in person at the club box office?

You could possibly have the first hour or two be in-person ticket sales only and then open it up to online after the major crunch has been filled in person. 

I know this would upset people that are not local and can't get there for the in-person sale, but it would probalby make more people happy than it would upset given that most 9:30 and Merriweather show goers are probably local.

This system seems like it would reward effort.  People who really want good seats can put in the effort to get them instead of being subjected to the random chance of the currently TF system or that of ticketmaster where everyone is trying online simultaneously.

This system doesn't address scalping, but it at least makes it harder for scalpers because if they want to scalp really good seats, they will have to put the effort in to get them.  The current system is even worse for scalping because scalpers do not have to put in any extra effort, they just try to get lucky with the largely random ticket distribution. 

With this system, scalpers would actaully be adding value because they would be putting in the effort for people that are unwilling or unable to do it themselves.  In the current system scalpers add no value because they are just the ones that got lucky with the random ticket distribution, they didn't have to put in any extra effort. 

So at least this system would improve the whole scalping thing a bit.  If you wanted to get rid of it, you could make the in-person sales paperless ticketing.

Anyways, just an idea.

Exactly!

Of all of the crap thrown around in here, that's the one that really screams, 'I'm a self-important professional surfer who expects instantaneous gratification of all my whims...PRONTO!'.

You're lucky your boss allows (intentionally or otherwise) internet access during that exact time frame so you can tend to your personal business, usually at the employer's expense I might remind you. A large number of workers don't even have that luxury. Suck it up and be happy for some of those delays that might actually help you get that coveted ticket when you get a chance later on. In fact, I kind of like these delays solely so those who aren't afforded such professional luxuries might actually have a chance in obtaining high demand tickets.

Also, weren't tickets available later when the snafu was cleared up? Its not as if the show sold out in 3 minutes and you couldn't get a ticket!

seth, i'll answer your "what would you have done" question tomorrow. 

in the meantime:

- asking a venue operator or promoter to take responsibility for wasted productivity is pointless and, as others have pointed out, juvenile.
- going back to in-person sales wouldn't help much and would cause way more inconvenience than good.  online ticketing systems are awesome when they work... so let's get this one to work.
- yes, sometimes the jokes do write themselves

Also the convenience fees weren't high at all. I can easily forgive Friday's SNAFU since ticketfly doesn't charge convenience fees that begin to get ridiculously high.

disagreed.  i'd rather pay $10 more and have a platform that gives me a fair shake at getting tickets, vs. a cheap solution that crashes and leaves me hanging for an hour.

These Phish-ticket-buying-nightmare stories are a bit scary; I hope at least part of the "problem" has been solved by the time a hot show at MPP I want to go to comes around.

I have no big problem with Ticketfly myself, though.  It's always seemed a nice, user-friendly alternative to the Live Nation/Ticketmaster goliath.  *shrugs*

we're gonna get this thing right, but it might take a few stumbles

the fact that someone couldn't get Phish tickets during the first 40 minutes is not a reason to stop trying

btw...in case nobody noticed...the Merriweather Ticketfly fees are a flat $7 per ticket regardless of ticket price...$4 per order handling...no other charges unless you want them overnighted...we absorb credit card fees, which is probably what people didn't realize was jacking up the price at check-out

this is a huge drop from what it used to be

930 is different because we weren't able to make the same kind of deal that we could with the huge volume that Merriweather does

Maybe this isn't worth bringing up because it doesn't sound like in-person ticketing is being considered, but how would selling the most high demand tix in person not improve the scalping problem?

I think a big part of what drives the scalping issue is that online ticketing has made it so easy for people to be scalpers.  It takes no effort, you just log in right at the moment of the onsale and try to get lucky.  A huge amount of the Phish traffic that made the system crash was scalpers.  If you don't believe me, check out CL, Ebay, stubhub, etc.  If the best tix were sold in person, scalpers would actually have to work to get them.    How could that not improve the situation?

Yes, some might continue to work to get them, but isn't that an improvement over the current system where it takes scalpers virtually no work to get premium tix? 

You have to think that making people actually put in hours of effort to get tix would curb some of the e-bay and craigslist scalpers.

I'm old enough to remember getting tix for shows before the internet and it was much easier to consistently get good seats then if you were willing to wait in line.  These days it is just purely random as to whether your order will get through or not for good tix, even with an efficient system like ticketmaster.

This is probably a stupid question, but for big name shows why couldn't ticket providers print the buyer's name on the ticket and then label any extra tickets they buy as guest? When you enter the venue, you have to show ID showing it is actually you and then if you buy any extra tickets label them as guest tickets? It wouldn't solve everything, but scalpers would be more reluctant to buy a ticket if they know one of their tickets can only be used on themselves.

This is exactly what Nine Inch Nails used to do with their fanclub, and it was a great system.  It is probably a little labor-intensive to think it could be done for all the seating, though. 

There is also the paperless ticketing system that Springsteen and ACDC used which is another good option.  It doesn't make scalping impossible, but makes it much harder.

Seth, you have come out as saying you are against scalping.  Well, this might be your chance to do something about it.  Instead of having TicketFly scramble to increase capacity for demand that was largely driven by scalpers, why not institute a system for big shows that seriously curbs the scalping.  It might even cost less to do that than to do the needed upgrades to TicketFly. 

It is worth noting that the TicketFly system worked fine for MMJ.  I think it is just a matter of handling that initial period of very high demand.  So, handle that high demand period in a different way that has the added bonus of getting the tix to the real fans and not the scalpers.

Yeah but it would also curb alot of honest buyers who for whatever reason can't be at a box office at the given time. The profit margins for some tickets that scalpers sell are so damn high that I can easily see them taking the time to get out there.

And still, I think even then, the majority of fans who buy tickets would prefer to do online selling, as opposed to showing up with thousands of other people to get tickets. It unfortunately appears to be more convenient for everyone.

However, I stand by the other post regarding what NIN did. Issue non-transferable tickets with the buyers name on them. The problem is though is that the NIN camp doesn't get to issue all the tickets themselves. Reznor wrote an essay on it, it's a good read.

I understand the ease of online buying, and maybe it is unrealistic to think about going back to in-person, but there are still things TicketFly could do to reduce scalping and thus the demand on their system.

Having a paperless system where ID or the credit card used to purchase the tickets has to be shown for entry would curb a ton of the scalping and thus cut the demand on the system.  Maybe this would be a good option if it is possible to implement.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: eltee on April 05, 2010, 01:42:02 pm
we're gonna get this thing right, but it might take a few stumbles

the fact that someone couldn't get Phish tickets during the first 40 minutes is not a reason to stop trying

btw...in case nobody noticed...the Merriweather Ticketfly fees are a flat $7 per ticket regardless of ticket price...$4 per order handling...no other charges unless you want them overnighted...we absorb credit card fees, which is probably what people didn't realize was jacking up the price at check-out

this is a huge drop from what it used to be

930 is different because we weren't able to make the same kind of deal that we could with the huge volume that Merriweather does
Seth, a wish / question not pertaining to the recent MPP sale issue but still on topic...What about offering the ability to purchase different show tickets in one bulk order? We used to be able to do this at tickets.com.
This would be really helpful. It's one thing for there to be multiple fees to be tagged on one order, but when purchasing multiple tickets for different events - it's way more costly. (you do have repeat patrons for multiple shows throughout the year) Maybe it's a compromise? Some of us can't afford the fees, but purchasing tickets in bulk (different shows / ticket orders combined) still makes you money on multiple tickets sold (shows vary in price) and helps the customer with less fees on multiple orders. Please?  :-*

Sorry to put this in this thread and to repeat what I wrote long ago. It's not whining, it just would be really helpful and it was great in the past. Currently there are at least 4 shows I want to attend and would purchase each online if I could bulk them together. Otherwise, I just can't afford it.

This is correct...and they will charge you for the "extra work" they had to put in and the "difficulty" of obtaining the best tickets.  Problem definitely not solved.

The NIN solutuion last year worked flawlessly.  Put a name on the ticket and insist that the person whose name appears on the ticket enter the venue with all of the tickets he/she purchased.  Sure it sucks when people back out and/or cannot meet beforehand to walk in together but that's another (smaller) problem for another day.

The thing you are not accounting for, though, is that the prices people will pay for scalped tickets has an upper bound on it.  Making the scalpers really work to get the good tix won't push up people's maximum willingness to pay for them, but it would really eat into the profit that a scalper makes (if you consider their time spent).  I think it would deter some casual scalpers who do it now just because it is so easy to get tix under the current system.

It doesn't sound like in-person ticketing is a realistic option anyway, but if some kind of paperless system could be done for the premium seats at Merriweather, that would be great and really help the scalping issue, as well as Ticketfly's issues with meeting capacity for selling tix during the initial rush.

Every scalper is salivating at the thought of in-person sales only. If you gave them the choice of competing against 200-500 people at a box office or against 2000-5000 people online? They'll take the in person option in a heartbeat. It would be a double win for them. Less competition for good tickets and they would no longer have to pay the $5,000+ they annually dish out to various memberships for all the venues and fan clubs they sign up for.

FYI - As much as every venue say's there against scalping, off the record every venue believes: "If you're tickets aren't being scalped your not having a good season"

This I agree on.  The deadbeat who works a regular job but buys tix online just to be a craigslist scalper would be eliminated.  But I think the pros would absorb that part of the market and when they have a bigger piece of the prime ticket pool the prices will go up.   The tix have a higher cost and are more difficult to obtain.

I would also like to point out that The Fillmore offered a 4 pack for this show which reduced the costs by about a third.  I was so impressed that I bought 4 tickets at $16.70 each ($24.60 with surcharge) rather than $22.50 each ($32.50 with surcharge) and even if I have to give the 4th ticket away, it will be worth it to me and the venue (for those bad at maths, I spent $98.40 on four tickets instead of $97.50 on three, and the venue will have one more drinker in the house).  Just sayin....

Having DJ a couple SOLD OUT Hanson shows, I can  tell you that one can see bare floor in back corners of the club. I've heard the situation is slightly different at a Gov't Mule show. 

Do you honestly think that for the sake of a few extra dollars, the club would risk having the Fire Marshall show up and shut down a over sold show?  I would think that would result in angry fans and a PR nightmare.

Isn't possible that like the Black Cat which never feels oversold, that The National doesn't have enough exits, etc to support a larger capacity?

My point is there is a specific reason why the capacity of the Black Cat is lower than it could be and it's because they choose to use only the main entrance as an exit route.  Had they choose to allow people to exit through the rear of the club they would have been allowed to increase capacity.   Isn't it quite possible that legal capacity of The National could be higher and thus lead to the sensation of an oversold show?  If you want to attend an oversold show, head over the RNRH, the Phoenix show there was far more uncomfortable than any sold out 9:30 club show I've been to.

oops, sorry vansmack.  sometimes my fingers move quicker than my brain  and totally off topic . . . i have a funny feeling that roger water's the wall tour thing might just be a huge, over priced at the wrong time fiasco.  first they had the stupid presale, where it was a lottery just to be able to see if you get tickets; you weren't gauranteed to even get them if your name came up in the lottery's first part.  i have six friends who were all excited and put in their names to see if they got picked, myself included.  none of us were selected on day one, and we all got "sorry" emails.  then, mysteriously, one by one, we get emails days, some even a week later, saying "oh nevermind, you are selected to try to get tickets."  some passed once they saw the prices and the fact you couldn't choose or see where your seats were going to be.  i chose the cheaper of the two choices offered, and instantly my card was charged as if i instantly got the tickets . . .  there was no wait to see, instead giving me the impression of rather, "thank god people are buying them."

Sold out is determined by the number of tickets sold, not by how large or small the individuals are who bought said tickets.  I recall being at some show at the club that was sold out and the place looked to have lots of empty space.  It dawned on Kim and me at the same time, little people!  (Not it the politically correct term.)

also . . . is it that difficult to have more than 1 or 2 bartenders at every bar in your venue?  the national has 5-6 at every bar they have, and for some odd reason people don't wait forever for a drink.

No they don't.  They have maybe three.  Which is what is normally at the upstairs bar at the 930, which is all I can attest to.

Hey Seth,

When are you going to tell us the FreeFest date? I'd like to go (depending on lineup), no need to schedule Aug/Sept vacation time so it doesn't conflict. I'm sure others are in the same boat.

Also, how about a Dwight Yoakam club date? Or does he strictly just play casinos these days?

Russell Brand and Carl Barât played a gig in Los Angeles as "Infant Sorrow," the fictional band from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek.  The songs were written by Barât and Jarvis Cocker.

This sounds so intriguing.  To me at least.  lol 

If it becomes a proper tour, the Club should definitely book them.

Hey Seth.. this request may be the first of it's kind.

Can you please not book Hum for this years FreeFest.  I'm pretty sure you were going to, just for me, but I'm gonna have to ask that you don't.  My best friend is getting married that day (nowhere close to Columbia) and I don't think he'd understand if I went to Vfest instead of his wedding.  Other than that weekend, feel free to book them whenever you can fit it in.

That being said, this is the second year in a row I'll miss FreeFest for a wedding.  I'll keep you guys informed as to what weddings I have next year, so you can plan accordingly as to what day it'll be on.

They seem to be sticking to the Midwest.  They played St. Louis last weekend.  Chicago this weekend.  Will be in Champaign the second weekend in June. 

Reports from the St. Louis show were that they were a lot tighter than they were for the one-off new years shows last year as if they'd been practicing together a lot in anticipation for more shows.  But that's all speculation and this is probably the only shows they're doing. 

However, if anyone can coax them out of the midwest I'd imagine Seth can.

Probably not...but it'd still be nice to be able to see some shows at the 9:30 that don't have the objective of selling out. I still remember the Electrafixion show in 1996 when like 20 people were in the audience, and Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant were doing a ton of Echo songs again. Some of those shows can be pretty special.

Some of those shows can be pretty special.

Really I wanted to go to that Electrafixion show but couldn't make it down that night.  It is funny they didn't have Ian and they called it Echo and the Bunnymen.  Ian and Will get back together they call it Electrafixion.  Then they get Wes back change it to Echo and the Bunnymen.  Wes leaves they keep it Echo and the Bunnymen.  They kind of killed their own career doing that.  "Reverberation" shouldn't have been under the Echo name and "Burned" should have been if that was the case they would probably be a lot more popular today.


Anyway back to the point.  They probably figured that show would do pretty well.   They are probably just getting better at booking bands that will fill the place.  I saw a very small crowd show for a Mission UK/Gene Loves Jezebel/Mike Peters show too.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on June 16, 2010, 08:05:50 pm


Was at last Dean and Britta show. Great show.

Not sure what was lackluster about a show where they played Galaxie 500 songs for the first time, Velvet Underground, New Order, Bob Dylan

Shit man. that was a great show..went with a three Galaxie/Luna fans who I 've seen Luna with numerous times and we all loved it

The fact they didn't sell out the Black Cat doesn't mean it can't happen at the 930 or that it wasn't a really good show... It means it probably won't

But there have been bands booked at the 930 knowing they are not going to sell out..

Maybe combine them with someone else?

I mean to me they are the kind of band that sort of belong at the 930 because of the numerous shows they played there..cut them a little slack and make it work

EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN

Please!!!

The Berlin band has been an integral part of the international music scene for 30 years.

In 2010 their stage anniversary will be celebrated with a tour through Europe and the United States.

Concerts will be held in selected cities, but also at locations that are significant to the band.

And it’ll be more than just a single concert event during the anniversary tour. The band is planning to make a guest performance on an additional day, presenting the audience with a mixed program of the Einstürzende Neubauten, films, solo shows, guests and friends.

More specifically, the band will play a great concert on the first night, while the second night will be divided into 3-part program.

It’ll begin with films and installations. Afterwards the band will play a further, but much shorter concert in which the Neubauten will present material that has never been played live, hasn’t been played live for a long time, or never in this form.

The evening will be rounded off with shows and performances by the individual Einstürzende Neubauten members, recomposed from city to city:

Blixa Bargeld VOCAL ACROBATICS

 
Alexander Hacke HITMAN’S HEEL
with Danielle de Picciotto & Chris Hughes (Fatal Shore)

 
Andrew Unruh BEATING THE DRUM

Any for them to hit DC on this tour, it would have to be mid-July. A bit late to ask as this point!

Maybe because you're a mod you couldn't post the quote, but I will because I loved it:

After a brief discussion on Live Nation....

"Sales are down in bad situations, like they should be," Hurwitz says. "But, you know, talking about the concert business as a whole, as it relates to the large companies that try to run the whole industry, is a little like asking BP, 'How's the oil business these days?' "

hehe.

And then:

The Concert As 'Product'

According to Hurwitz, a promoter's first responsibility is to make sure the concertgoing experience is a good one.

"Buying a band for the entire country is treating it like it's product," Hurwitz says. "And, although it's product in that we're all trying to make money at this, if you treat the country and if you treat everyone like it's product, then that's how they're going to treat you."

Yes! More and more venues have been adding this feature over the last year or two. It's so much better than getting stuck with random seats.

However, every time I've used a feature like this it's for a show that doesn't sell out fast. How does this system work for a show that is a sure quick sell-out? People won't be able to pick their own seats. I'm assuming then it's just like the current system.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: TFlyAmy on July 14, 2010, 07:00:44 pm
Hey Guys-

The seat-picking feature depends on the event and is at the discretion of MPP. For high demand shows it is typically not an option to choose your owns seats at the start of a sale. Just FYI!

But it's great feedback that you guys prefer this feature. I'll pass it along.

OMG, I second this, and will add $50 more. But I doubt they'd do well at 9:30. Especially since they haven't come round these parts in 5 years. No one knows who they are anymore.

they did a show at the 9:30 in mid may of that year while the festival was in August.

I'm pretty sure that the people who already have tickets to freefest and who want to see LCD SS most of all would still go to the festival even if LCD SS was doing a club show (which it would definitely sell out).

If you had tickets to see your favorite band for free at a festival (with alot other acts that would probably interest you) and the said band decided to come to your hometown, wouldn't you still hit up the free festival?

I don't want to dash your hopes, but I don't believe they'll be touring until their next album (maybe currently titled "Williamsburg Democracy, Part Deux") is released next year.  I think it's mooted for spring/summer 2011 but you never know.

I think the last two times they played DC, they played the Daughters of the American Revolution Hall.

My hopes...   :'(  lol

They've done festival dates here and there, so I have this small hope there might be a brief tour before the album is released.  Previewing the songs and such.  Chances are it won't happen, of course, but I have my fingers are crossed.  And if such a mini-tour does happen, I hope they don't skip D.C., Yorke/Massive Attack-style.

True, and I have seen a couple smaller bands there.  Most of the bands i would request get booked at Rock and Roll Hotel, Ottobar, Black Cat, DC9, Velvet, etc anyways so i quit requesting bands in here outside of Underworld, Aphex Twin, Placebo, and a couple others.

I first heard of them from the movie Trainspotting.  The song "Born Slippy" was in that movie and one of their biggest hits.  I've seen them a few years ago at All Points West.  Not too shabby as they played before Radiohead came on.  Here is a song you and your cats can dance to  ;D

i was at that APW, on the rail, and it was one of the only times i forgot my etymotics.  some amount of hearing damage ensued.  throughout underworld's set, the big burly techs had to nudge the array of 6-foot tall bass cabs back in to place - they were so loud that they were jumping around and falling off the platform.  t'was an impressive sight... and sound.  sooooooooooo can't wait to see them at the club (i've already told work i'll need to travel on tuesday that week instead of monday).  this time i won't be forgetting my ear protection.

dork alert: the song you linked to is "born slippy .nuxx"; "born slippy" is an instrumental track that most people have never heard.  i'll go crawl back under my rock now.

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on September 08, 2010, 12:47:29 am
saw them at the club late 90s

I think the show loses a lot by the mere fact that emerson is no longer with them and they haven't done anything thats made any sort of impact in over ten years..

it turns into a retro show...."lager lager"

i'd still enjoy it just cause i llike their stuff with emerson so much but after he left it just wasn't even lose to the same

moreover, its not a show that really benefits that much from you actually being there.... its all programmed beats anyways.. you'd do just fine to get a big room put onthe UNDERWORLD LIVE DVD (Which is fantastic) on a big screen, crank it up, do whatever drug is your choice, and bop around

but to each their own...

like i said.. i could see it being fun but at least when i saw them there it didn't benefit from being at the 930..i mean it was weird..it ended at 11:30 the lights went on and that was it...and underworld is not your typical rock show..would have been better at nation at 2 am or something (I did see Emerson there)

glad its coming to dc

I've seen them 3 times - some restored opera house in NYC, Central Park NYC, and in the rain at Giant's Stadium for Field Day Fest.

Opera house set sounded awesome indoors.
Central Park was the most recent and they really mixed it up live - very cool live versions of classics.
The Field Day rain set was the most fun - 10,000 people raving in yellow rain ponchos - hilariously intense.

Well the stabbing was at Thirsty Turtle. I can't say that is really a surprise. Sadly, Santa Fe closed last semester and that was the only bar that would have live music on a regular basis. Albeit, Fe had terrible sight lines and was actually a terrible building to host concerts from.

If someone created a new concert space from an existing building in downtown CP that was actually a half decent 400-500 person sized venue, it may have some promise. But trying to build anything nice in College Park is usually a poor decision.

dear seth & other 930'ers,

i have a request for the Underworld show: could you please push the stage as far back as possible regardless of how sold out (or not) the show is? 

i know it's custom to move the stage forward and back according to crowd size to create a sense of intimacy.  that's wonderful for most acts, but Underworld (and other dance acts) would benefit from the extra space on the floor for groovin' to the music.  it would be silly, IMO, to be packed in like sardines if we don't have to be.

thanks!

joe doesn't have good ideas very often, but when he does he makes them count. 

even kosmo could get behind this one: dear is touring with a band, so it'll meet his must-be-performed-live requirement.  would be a great addition to either show.

Seconded, definitely. I can't remember which night I was at last year, but it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. And How I Got Over is one of 2010's best albums. I'd love another late December Roots 930 Club show.

hey james,

you don't need to have tickets in your possession to list them on stubhub or ebay, so you can list them before they go on sale.  these people are essentially saying that they will have them.  check out the "delivery info" section -  they're not promising the tickets until three days before the show.

scalpers list tickets that haven't gone on sale yet all the time.  they prey on the insecurity of fans that they won't be able to get tix during presales/onsales.  as an added bonus, it gives message boards a reason to think venue operators are colluding with scalpers.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: James Ford on November 22, 2010, 02:20:59 pm
If you google one of those shows, and perhaps the other, you'll discover that they actually ARE on sale, via ticketfly. Just not at the box office. Leaving you with the options of paying the douchey ticketfly fees (if you're good with the google), paying the outrageous stubhub price, or crossing your fingers and waiting until it's on the actual tickefly site. Not that either of them will sell out their two night stands immediately.

(...)

ah, ok.  but now i'm unclear on the point of your original message.  is it that scalpers have figured out how to google?  seth can't control what list for sale online, whether the show is on sale or not (or something in between).  you have access to the same tickets the scalpers do.

if you're irked that you can buy tickets online (with fees) but not at the box office without fees, bringing scalpers into the discussion doesn't make much sense to me.  if you're against the ~$10 ticketfly surcharges, i don't see how you're going to pay the ~$50 (or whatever) scalper's mark-up... doesn't that make them irrelevant to this discussion?
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: James Ford on November 22, 2010, 04:27:46 pm
I guess I'm just looking to be reminded what the point was in making tickets available "secretly" in advance when they're only available via ticketfly. I think comments were made to the effect that this would benefit "those in the know" or something to that effect. Why not make them available "secretly" at the box office simultaneously? Otherwise ticketly is the real beneficiary of such a policy.

I was only stating that it's odd that you can buy these tickets from scalpers already, yet you can't even buy them at the box office. I don't know that Seth has any kind of magical answer, I was merely pointing out the fact and wondering about it aloud.

This is a little far off but
From Current 93's site:

Another chance to schedule a DC date, perhaps?

I meant all barricades, ever, unless used in the process of launching a revolution. One that I agree with. Now that I've searched the site I see barricading has been going on for years; being old enough to have rested my beer on the stage of the old club many a time I probably just hadn't hit shows recently that were thought to be potential trouble. Philosophically speaking, it's rock and roll and barriers have no place in it, but I know liability blah blah blah and it IS his party.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: sweetcell on December 22, 2010, 07:32:35 pm
bfactor - the barricades aren't always used.  they're removable.  plenty of shows at the 930 are barricade-less.  i suspect the decision to use them depends on the wishes of the band/their management, the type of crowd, size of crowd, etc.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: azaghal1981 on December 22, 2010, 07:43:59 pm
I believe Sweetcell is right and the bands have a major say as far as whether or not a barricade is used.

Hey Seth, how about Old 97's sometime between 4/8 and 4/15.

Preferably not 4/14 as I'm tied up that evening.

I've heard at least one interview where they commented on 9:30 Club being a favorite place to play.

Closest they've gotten on this tour was Towson, and that was in December...

April
4/1 ? Madison, WI ? The Barrymore Theatre
4/2 ? Bloomington, IL ? Castle Theater
4/3 ? Indianapolis, IN ? Vogue
4/7 ? Rochester, NY ? Water Street
4/8 ? Boston, MA ? Royale
4/15 ? Knoxville, TN ? Bijou Theater
4/16 ? Birmingham, AL ? Workplay Theatre

Elvis was just  in DC 9 months ago. ..at the Warner.. great show..

He was also in Richmond...

And doesn't he tend to perform at Wolftrap? I'd be up for a club show though.

Hey Seth,
Foo Fighters are having secret shows...Also, their new album is out in April...How about something intimate, no GMU or MPP?
Also, Death Cab For Cutie has new music this spring. Please grab them for the club, pretty please? Those shows years ago were great. NO DAR please!!
Thanks and have a nice weekend!
p.s. I'm still holding out for Old 97's...;P

Foo Fighters club shows are among my all-time favorite shows ever.  They're always fantastic.  *cough*boardieticketsplease*cough*

But if we can't get a club show, PLEASE put them in a regular venue somewhere.  It seems like every time they come around it's either a nearly-impossible-to-get-into club show or a big festival.  When was the last time they played a regular rock show around here?  GMU 2005?

All to what Bombay said, my thoughts too, please and thanks!!  I would love to see them at the club as I couldn't get in the last 930 show when RatBastard switched shirts. When they were at GMU (2005 sounds about right), I was sick and missed. OH and please don't have DC101 or Fast Eddie's or some nutty place in Fairfax giving away tickets; normal methods for tickets work. (why a bunch of us missed the last club show)
Just not sure what other regular venue there is for them other than DAR and I absolutely would not want to see them there. RHL is the alternative, while it's fine, 930 trumps RHL. 

DCFC at the club, those shows years ago were so good.  Sorry to be so specific or selfish with my requests but my preference is club shows, as I think festivals or MPP are too large to have intimacy with the music & band. I'd settle for DCFC at DAR over MPP.

Ha, Van, you don't have go if they are scheduled. (!)  Not sure if you are asking not to book them (does this thread work that way?;)), or just opposed to the venue specification. Tell you what, let me know who or what you want & we'll see if my powers still work.;)

OOOh, thank for the Old 97's news, I really missed it. Laying low...There are so many shows this week that I will missing b/c they are sold out. But, March & April seem to be predicting great shows too.
Thanks, 930, bawk bawk.

?Big Star?s Third? Show To Tour?

02/11/2011

Rumors of Tift Merritt, Matthew Sweet, Norman Black and possibly Ray Davies getting involved in the Chris Stamey-helmed project.

By Fred Mills

Back in December producer and dB's founder Chris Stamey mounted an ambitious pair of public performances of Big Star's legendary Third/Sister Lovers album at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. It featured, among numerous musicians who participated, original Big Star drummer Jody Stephens and Stamey's old buddy (and former Lets Active frontman) Mitch Easter, and was by all accounts a roaring success.

As Stamey himself blogged, "It would be hard to enjoy anything more than we did the two nights at Cat's Cradle in Dec."

However, Stamey goes on to say in the blog entry that the entire experience was deeply gratifying, including the actual rehearsals, and that there will also be an encore presentation of the performance this coming Tuesday night, Feb. 15, at Playmaker's Repertory Theatre on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. In addition to the live show, there will also be an event at Wilson Library (also at UNC) billed as "a multimedia exposition on the life and works of Jim Dickinson" - J.D. famously produced the Big Star album - along with a Stamey-conducted interview with Stephens and Ardent Records' John Fry about the album.

But wait - apparently, there's more. According to the Carrboro Citizen, after that the live show will be headed to New York City, on March 26. Writes the Citizen, "Cast and crew will next be taking the show to New York on March 26. There, Tift Merritt, Matthew Sweet and Norman Blake (Teenage Fan Club) will join in (with the rumor mill hinting that Ray Davies might make appearances too). From there, an untold mix of musicians will take the show on the road for engagements across the country that will be filmed for the upcoming Danielle McCarthy and Drew DeNicola documentary film Nothing Can Hurt Me: The Big Star Story, slated for a 2011 release."

More details as they emerge.

Hey Seth

Bring back Foo Fighters.    I'm down for a Foo gig at 9:30 Club.  They haven't played DC since 2005 and in 2008 opted for your Virgin Festival in Baltimore.  We need 2 DC gigs.  9:30 Club & Arena show(s) Patriot Center.  No Verizon Center!  It will be a nightmare for tickets if they play 9:30 so it should be first come first serve into the venue like the (not so secret shows) in LA.  Similar to Blink 182 $2 show tour at 9:30 Club in 2003 and 2005 System of a Down show tickets on sale the same day in the morning then come back for the show at night.

Ratbastard you might have to give up your t-shirt Dave gave you at the 2005 gig for Seth to bring back Foo.

Actually I figured I would wear it to the show (assuming I was lucky enough to get tickets).  Problem is I am so mangled up and broken down now that I am upstairs at the bar stools for all shows.  Can't do the rail thing any more at all.  I guess I'd have to get s9omeoen down front to let Dave know I was there with his shirt!

Thanks for the Decemberists too. MPP is a great place for them, but I can't hike out there for the show mid-week. I prefer club shows & closer to DC, yet, I'm glad you brought them for others before they take a retreat.
Very, very happy about DCFC and was just wondering yesterday when they'd be coming to town and if it would be possible for a club during summer. Wow, and just looked at their posted dates - you nabbed them before they go overseas. Thanks, it's been awhile since they've performed at 930.

a request for tomorrow's shpongle show: please do not push the stage forward as much as you would for a rock show.  i suspect that this one won't be sold out but there is no need to make the show "feel intimate".  please give us (extra) space to dance.  being shoulder-to-shoulder isn't a plus in this case.

thank you!

Hey Seth,

When are you going to get on the groupon bandwagon?

Groupon and LiveNation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, have teamed up to offer customers deals on concerts and other live events. The companies have launched a new joint initiative, Groupon Live, that will be a localized platform for LiveNation events.

The partnership, slated to launch this summer, will give customers deals for concerts, sporting events, theater and arts events, a joint release from the companies said.

?GrouponLive represents a new channel to drive value for fans, while helping artists and others to reach ever larger audiences,? said Live Nation Entertainment President and chief executive Michael Rapino in a statement. ?By adding this channel to our ticketing platform, we will also provide our venue partners with another option for driving ticket sales across a wide range of events.?

The deal also expands what Groupon offers ? the service normally recommends restaurant, event and business deals, but doesn?t often offer coupons for live events.

The daily deals site is also expected to launch its real-time coupon service, Groupon Now, in the coming weeks. The mobile service will let customers look for nearby, ongoing deals by opting to share their location with the site.

Do you like where Groupon is going? What other deals would you like to see it offer?

Next year, Doctor Dee will play at the London Coliseum, as part of the Cultural Olympiad. Once its Manchester run ends, Albarn is travelling to Congo, to play his part in a project in which DJs and producers will record and sample Congolese music, and aim to complete a record in not much more than a week. Blur, he says, may reunite again, to play their old songs in the US, though when I ask him about the possibility of new Blur songs, I get a mumbled "don't know". There is also final work to be done on a largely instrumental album made by Albarn, Allen and the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary.

the next three years, she plans to play six-week residencies in eight cities, all at intimate venues, to audiences of less than 2,000. At these performances,
she'll use the apps to perform Biophilia in full twice a week." --- Umm, yeah.


have you heard any of the new album.  i've only heard two songs . . . but man, is it just me or does bork music just sound like all bork music now?

And this time, can you please tell Rob to stop motioning for the speakers to be turned up once they've reached JAMC/MBV levels?

along with TD, any chance you could poach M83 and/or Twin Shadow from Moogfest?

Would make for a nice double bill.

would make an AWESOME double bill - two great acts with complementary sounds.  unfortunately we got the worse outcome: separate shows, neither at the 930. 

M83
10/28
Black Cat

while we're on the topic of MPP: what's the official policy on the north entrance (closest to the mall)?  i was under the impression that it was only used as a post-show exit, but last night it was available as an entry - which is AWESOME when parking at the mall.  will it always be open from now on?

I like the idea of a Radiohead presents King Of Limbs at Constitution Hall leading up to SNL (smaller venue since they'd only play new album plus the 'b sides').  Contest so that everyone who correctly predicts the corresponding natural disaster wins the KOL Newspaper Edition and Remixes.  After party Thom Yorke DJ Set at the Club.  That sounds like a win-win.

Co-signed for Queens. They'd mentioned adding more US dates way back when they announced that mini run in March, but nothing ever came out. Would love to see them back at the 930.

You used to have them at the 930 regularly.. then not so regular.. then a show at substandard sound DAR a long time ago and now nothing for like FOUR years..

throw in a free fishing boat and some tackle for deaner, a cheeseburger for gener...what-ever..maybe take him to the eastern shore after the show..i don't know what..just make it happen!

oh goodie. thanks for playing.


I mean its over for ween? what does that mean?

they are selling out bigger and better venues every year (probably why we don't get them in dc.. in the mid-late 90s they were a regional band.. you'd go to a ween show and see a ton of PA plates around)

the performances are as good as ever.. i can say that because i've been seeing them since about 1996

what is over is their desire or need to release albums.. they just don't need to do it and they are obviously pretty lazy, deaner is busy fishing.. so the great run in the 90s of released albums is over.. 

but when they play Your Party from La Cucaracha its as much a ween anthem as any older song

as usual your mileage may vary but its certainly NOT OVER for the increasing numbers of people that go to their live shows.

Hurwitz says. ?But they are clearly going after the soccer mom crowd and their children ? people either too old or too young, to be venturing down to the big city. ?

This would be great for shows that work best as seated shows, even if you have to concentrate on booking mostly Folk, Jazz, Blues and other laid back acts that tend to appeal to the seated crowds. I know I would have absolutely loved some nice comfy seats when I saw Hammock and Stars Of The Lid. Those bands put you right to sleep, in a good way.

Not many places would have been ideal for that show. My bedroom, maybe. It was kind of funny seeing people falling asleep all over the place. Definitely the quietest audience I've ever seen. Very unlike your average crowd. You could have easily heard a pin drop and people would have looked around wondering who was making all that noise.

YIKES!! Just think what he would've written had he witnessed the original 930 location!!!  :o

The venue is simply bricks and mortar.....it's the staph and fellow patrons that make it a show. I've come across the odd pretentious wanker on the 930 staph but they are a tiny majority. 930 is the best place I've ever been to see a show....including the Hacienda in manc. (too many drugs for me in that place)

There's no other place I would've let my (then) 14 year old daughter in to see a show without me being with her (I waited outside) than the the 930, thanks to Josh and the gang....

Don't let it.
The place is not a dump. This person obviously is going to some squeaky clean "venue" vs. an actual music club. Just think F St. (well, the person might be thinking about that venue and smell, but I digress) and know you set the tone and standard for everyone in this area who is trying to run an actual music nightclub. Birchmere learned probably from RHT and FSS learned from the local mall. Your ideas and clubs are not just bars, or karaoke clubs; they are clean, safe, friendly and always have a great artist on stage.
Sound and lights have always been stellar. Intimate places are few and far between for big name acts these days. Your club is still intimate, laid back and rock without being sterile and mass produced. Even with the modern additions of food, various beverages, multiple bars and cupcakes. Chin up, Seth.

That's what I wanted to do with the old Vienna movie theater. Coffee by day, then movies or shows by night. Then it became a Lens Crafters, now a bike shop. And, Jammin Java took over the Christian music place so...DO it, Seth. It will be like having grandkids! You have to start to find a protege by some point right? Have a contest to search.
I agree with the comment that IMP makes DC events (Md/Va) a whole lot better.  When I find issues with other events / venues in other states it's b/c they lack the mgmt/ideas and your staph.

I remember them joking about that but didn't in the very least perceive it as snarky. In fact, I thought it was very funny and that they saw the irony of how super laid back their music is compared to the normal shows we all tend to see. If anything, I thought that they were taking the piss on themselves about being a very under the radar band and also about how opposite they are from a 'hit' kind of band. The last thing you are ever going to do is rock out to any of their music. It made me like them even more.

Do it, Seth! Do it!  ;D

That would be ideal and add yet more variety to what you have to offer. I was thinking even adding a few live theater performances as they come around. More of an off off Broadway type with either a hipster and/or an historical edge. Kind of a mini Kennedy Center for the common folk and less mainstream performers. Maybe even host a few speakers.

Congratulations Seth, on your new baby.  :D


Oh, btw... I would bet that that fool is just some FSS investor who is pissed off because the 930 Club is still blowing away their new silver spoon feed baby Huey. Just because they built it doesn't mean that they will come. You, of all people, well know it takes much, much more than that.... without the payoffs.

I have no idea in hell what he is basing his opinion on but I find that what you get out a club (or any other business) is what you go in there looking for.  I have been going to the 930 since the days of henry rollins with mother superior.  I have ALWAYS been treated like I was a guest and one that was very welcome to be there.  When it was one of my first shows and I was using my digital camera on video mode (not knowing the rules back then), Josh came up to me and told me I needed to give up the camera and pick it up on the way out.  Even in that situation I was treated well and not made to feel like I was fucking up and better be careful.  I have been to venues from Cleveland to Ft Lauderdale and many places between.  No other club is run like the 930 club and I would pick it as my venue of choice ANY time.  Lastly, when I brought my dad to a show back a while ago, Josh, Jennifer, Justin, and the rest of the staph treated him like he was a patron from the day one of the club.  They made that night an extremely memorable one for me as it was the beginning of me dad and me starting to rebuild our relationship.  So thanks to all of you at the club.  Thanks Seth for having a place where this can happen.  Thanks Josh for running the 'security' the way you do.  Thanks to Jennifer, Justin and all of the rest of you for making my dad feel like he was part of the 930 family.  This is why Kim and I drive up there from Richmond to see shows.  You treat us very well (even when Kim does start bar fights)!

That would be ideal and add yet more variety to what you have to offer. I was thinking even adding a few live theater performances as they come around. More of an off off Broadway type with either a hipster and/or an historical edge. Kind of a mini Kennedy Center for the common folk and less mainstream performers. Maybe even host a few speakers.

I was thinking this too..a different market...book talks or something...Like when Josh Ritter came through played some songs and read from his book...Or John Waters' Christmas, etc. Lord knows we are limited with book stores now for in-stores
Music documentaries...give AFI a run and be a part of FilmFest...
Oh and hang some artwork for sale (local or nat'l or musicians - many are also artists). Nat'l Geographic had musicians who take photos talk cost some $ too..okay, I'm stretching the ideas, but that one was a part of my coffee shop by day idea...

^ You and I are of the very same mind.  ;) ;D

I'd even like to see a ballet in there. A punk rock ballet would be really cool. Of course, it's up to some dance troupe to get that all together. Then Seth would host and promote the show.

Being in DC, book talks should do well. Sort of a low end and more open minded National Press Club sort of thing.

Also think that they could partner with Howard University for some good ethnic African American artsy things.

Nah, I just want some fries and/or ice cream.
On a related note, I have had a couple of the 930 cupcakes not long after they had been taken out of the fridge and they are exponentially better when slightly cold.

I did, actually go through a brief Phish phase although I ended up realizing that their (and all other bands lumped under the jamband umbrella) idea of improvisation differs greatly from mine. Specifically, it is way too constrained and repetitive. I would be a Phish fan if more of their jams sounded like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JqSFMzgpxE) or this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRgOMDqUrT0) or the Lemonwheel "ambient" jam that I was not able to find video of. I know those are one-off things but there is no reason why their jams could not regularly become shapeless and for lack of a better term, noisy. Their lyrics are also atrocious (sorry, Walkies). They wrote a few cool instrumental compositions but that was many, many moons ago.

IMO, every desert tastes better cold.  most people can't wait to have a warm slice of pie fresh out of the oven, i'd much rather have it an hour later once it's gone room temp - or better yet, out of the fridge the morning after.  i'm drawing a blank on any warm desert that i like.  maybe gulab jamun.

and gawd no, please, no fryer.  i can have beer or fries, but not both.  and with the smell of bubbling grease wafting from the food food kitchen kitchen, i know which one would win...

there are a lot of people complaining on FB that only behind-the-stage seats were available.  those folks should have added "currently available".  prime in-front-of-the-stage seats could have been released.  those would have disappeared in seconds, whereas the crappy ones would remain unsold (you didn't buy any either, did you? there ya go).  so for all we know there were indeed excellent seats released... we all just got there too late.

poppycock..i got there 45 seconds after it was posted on FB..and all i got was limited view..45 secs is not too late..

first off, depending on the number of tickets released and who else knew about it, 45 secs is plenty of time for them to disappear.

second, that's when 930 posted on FB - not when they went on sale.  who knows how long they were available on TM before 930 got wind of this and posted the info.  maybe someone pulled great tickets, sent an e-mail to 930, and by the time they posted it they were already gone.  they might have shared the info with other boards/FB pages/etc.  who knows.

or maybe there weren't any good tickets today and it was all crappy behind-the-stage seating.  there simply isn't enough information to make a call either way, but boy folks were quick to complain and tell the club that they shouldn't even have bothered posting the info.  i disagree.  it didn't work out this time, let's not stop them from posting it next time.

well i got nothing to hide as far as far as my "real" name goes sweetcell..but i did think of that when i posted my comment here.. and your comment is making me rethink it..

I think if you post a link that there are phenomenal seats there should be more than limited view seats.. you ought to make sure of that.. and they posted a comment on their own thread emphasizing these seats were killer AFTER there were no killer seats..

Its the kind of thing Live Nation would do and beneath the 930. Moreover, its not the first time.. it happend I want to say earlier in the week (or last week). .they posted how some great seats had been released and they were in the 400s...

Just post "Seats have been released to the sold out.." show. Thats good enough. People can make up their own minds as far as their quality.


at the end of the day what 930 did on FB is just bad business... people see the link..they go to the TM only to see that they are being charged $50 plus fees for limited view seats being touted as pheomenal.

and my original post on this thread was not some "mindless complaint".. I genuinely like the 930/IMP and wanted to give a headsup to Seth on this...

here's how it went down...

seats behind the stage were released

the Foos people let us know that these, in fact, were going to end up being amazing seats

they need to be marked "limited view", as they are not traditional seats and some equipment could be in the way at certain moments

now I don't know how you can be more honest than that

as far as "fooling" anyone...there is always the opportunity to opt out of the sale at any time...nobody is being forced to do anything

these late releases always sell fast...we don't ever try & fool anyone into anything, and we certainly wouldn't need to here if we did

but everyone always cries foul when they don't get the tickets they wanted
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: bearman🐻 on October 28, 2011, 09:25:52 am
I realize the Foo Fighters are a decent size band these days, but there's something odd about the fact that so many of us on the board here didn't get anywhere NEAR the seats that we had hoped. When pulling 400 section seats in the middle and rear of the venue is the closest thing you can get, you can't help but wonder who is snatching up GA tickets or even 100 section and good 200 section seats (but I can guess, and there seem to be a plethora on E-bay, Stubhub, etc.). I get it, you can't make everyone happy. But the whole ticket process for this show has been frustrating. I got great seats for Springsteen, AC/DC, Green Day at Verizon...arguably those are all bigger bands than the Foo Fighters. They've certainly sold an avalanche more in terms of records. In the grand scheme of things, not getting to see one show out of many is fine by me and not the end of the world. I can totally see both sides to this, and Seth, you typically do a top-notch job of keeping us whiners at bay. But this was one time where I really didn't get just how on earth we were shut out across the board (literally and figuratively) from getting decent seats. I predict a lot of empty seats from scalpers over-buying.

Not a fan of sitting behind the stage. Number one, you're going to mostly get a view of the band's asses. Number two, the sound is always somehow a bit off. Number three, if they're such great seats, why aren't they sold for every single show?

Seth, they were just here, but it's always a fun show, how about Old 97's at the club again?  (Pt. 2 album tour) They just scheduled Starr Hill for next year so perhaps around the same time frame?

And Toad the Wet Sprocket at the club for Jan. 8? Thanks.

Of course, I agree with you... though I'd like some nice tea too and would prefer ice cream as I'm not much of a cupcake fan. Way too much overly sweet icing and not enough cake.

Either way, I freaking hate, hate, HATE the Red Hot Chili Shits!!!!! Although a nice red hot bowl of chili would be nice.

I want to see a DC/Baltimore/VA noise showcase at the club. Not sure if something like that would be a significant draw but it would be a hell of a lot of fun. It could also be thrown together quickly.

This is nice Seth, but i think most people want to know when you're going to have Alabama Shakes back.

Sweet Second Chances
Some of the best parts about last week's three Drive-By Truckers shows were the excellent openers that kicked off each night.  All three nights were sold out, so you may have missed out on Lucero opening the Thursday show and J Roddy Walston and The Business opening the Friday show.  In a delightful turn of events, both bands will swing by 9:30 Club this April, delivering their punk, country, and blues-fueled rock to us once again.  Chances are these tickets won't be around long either, so nab them before you miss this raucous roadshow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tour_of_Life

article from 2010: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/may/13/kate-bush-only-tour-live

"The mechanics of touring certainly didn't appeal. Bush's dislike of flying has been an active ingredient in her decision not to perform on a global stage, and having endured a promotional whirlwind throughout 1978 and 1979 she found that the lifestyle ? airports, hotels, press calls, itineraries, entourages and precious little solitude ? sabotaged the way she wanted to live her life and conduct her career."

May we please have an east coast version of the Bob Mould Band Copper Blue show?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------February 24, 2012, San Francisco @
Bottom of the Hill
 (SOLD OUT)

In honor of the 20-year anniversary of Sugar's COPPER BLUE, Bob along with his band, Jon Wurster (Superchunk, The Mountain Goats), and Jason Narducy (Robert
Pollard, Verbow) will be performing the album in its entirety for the first time ever.

Originally released in 1992, COPPER BLUE is widely recognized as a seminal work of Bob's 30-plus-year career. Featuring the singles 'A Good Idea', 'Helpless',
'Changes', and 'If I Can't Change Your Mind', it was named album of the year by NME and dubbed "thunderous" by Rolling Stone.

To make this even more special, the show takes place at San Francisco's most beloved small rock club, Bottom of the Hill, on Friday, February 24th. It
is a part of the 20th Noise Pop Festival and tickets go on sale this Friday, January 13th.

Wow when did the price for a coke at the club go to $4?  Is that about 10˘ worth of water and syrup in that cup?  I understand about making a profit and all but really?  Even though I don't drink at all EVER, I have always paid for my soft drinks and not asked before but at these prices I have to ask if you have or plan to initiate an designated driver program.  I was literally stunned when I looked at the tab at the end of the night and the cokes were that high.

shit man.. after the dollar tip that is $5 for a little bit of soda and ice.. thats rough..

people will say "well don't drink the soda then.."....but exorbitant price gouging on concessions is a bummer...


ultimately though you just got to not buy the soda.. I guess for IMP though the occasional concertgoer who doesn't realize its going to be $4 will keep buying the soda meaning more money for them... or the occasional concertgoer just figures "hey, i don't go to concerts that often so i can spend whatever I want.."


in the area of concessions the black cat is much more reasonable but I guess Dante doesn't want to gouge his customers like Seth does... its fine Seth, go for it, but you're a price gouger ripping off your customers..  .. smile all the way to the bank.. ;D

I wonder for example how much the 930 ATM charges... $4??? Black Cat: $2

Black Cat has a 16 oz PBR for $4.

Ticket charges for 930 shows are probably about 35% higher.

I guess the 930 concertgoer has a lot more disposable income than the Black Cat concertgoer....still doesn't make it "right"

Of course in this age where people think capitalism means "ripping people off for as much you can" its all good, no?

It is true the 930 overall experience is just so good and the 930 does so many things right (the 30th anniversary show last year, the Freefests, the venue itself, the staff, etc.) that it is easy to just excuse ripping off your own customers.

In part maybe its just DC or something..its gotten so darn pricey....

Post by: James Ford on February 10, 2012, 11:27:03 am
Which of these criteria for "price gouging" are being met by the overpriced soda at 9:30 Club?
And how is a $4 PBR any less egregious than a $4 soda?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging
 Price-gouging is often defined in terms of three critieria listed below:

1.Period of Emergency: The majority of laws apply only to price shifts during a time of disaster.
2.Necessary items: Most laws apply exclusively to items which are essential to survival.
3.Price ceilings: Laws limit the maximum price that can be charged for given goods.

go to 930 club . . . pay more for soda, not get shot and killed because they have safe parking and security all around the building.

black cat . . . pay less for your drink, but take the chance of pissing it out earlier than you thought because you are running in fear from the people shooting at you.

key word is "often" no? Often defined that way and certainly in an economic textbook sense I can see that.. but every day definition of price gouging? I'd say the 930 meets that.. $4 for a little cup with some soda and ice.. thats gouging.

I realize that those items are completely unnecessary to the concertgoing experience, and laugh at those who do not. If it helps keep the concert ticket prices lower, I urge you to keep up with the "price gouging" on the non-necessities.

You're "with Seth" because you don't drink-unlike the sheeple- beer or soda at shows and are provided free water...and you seem to think Seth "gouging" is keeping your ticket costs low.


In other words: if it benefits me its right and if not (i.e., no free water) its wrong.


Well, that doesn't say much does it?

I've had coke at the 930 a handful of times.. doesn't mean gouging customers isn't wrong.


Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: RatBastard on February 10, 2012, 03:17:40 pm
so what would make you happy

Thanks for the reply...  Actually I am not unhappy! :)  I just thought $4 was a tad steep.  If you get right down to it, that is probably no different than the similar posts about beer prices that you get ad infinitum.  It did kind of caught me off guard though.

I do think it would be a good thing for y'all to have some sort of policy for designated drivers.  (For all I know you already have one and I just have not inquired before now.  I hate to assume things.)  I know this is a thing that might easily be abused by some folks.  So I guess just think it over and consider the alternatives to see if any are feasible.

Truth be told, I'll still come to the club no matter.  I don't say this to be kissing ass or whatever, but I really do think you have on of the best run clubs in the country.  My friends and I are always treated as if we are family more so than patrons.

Thanks again for the response.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: RatBastard on February 10, 2012, 03:29:11 pm
OK so now this post may sound 100% counter to my previous ones in this discussion, but here goes nothing!

Seth is not a dumb guy.  Either he knows marketing and economics (or he pays someone who does) enough to understand pricing to maximize profits.  He knows that raising prices does not necessarily lead to increased net profits.  There is a tipping point to every pricing structure where the profits start to diminish.  The business owners goal is (ceteris paribus) to be as close to that point as possible without going past it.  The thing consumers often forget is that THEY are the ones who ultimately set the price.  It is the golden rule, 'he who has the gold makes the rules'.  I (the consumer) have the dollars,  and I am not going to give them to the seller until he offers me what I want at a price I am willing to pay for it.  You all know how the rest.  All that aside, my post boils down to me telling Seth that $4 is beyond the price I am willing to pay.  I personally think it is cool that he actually gives a shit enough to reply and engage in a dialog about it.

I like giving employees raises & bonuses

money has to come from somewhere

that $1.50 to you, multiplied by the number we sell, helps us do a lot of things

could charge more for shows I suppose

seth, haven't you learned anything by what happened to the record industry, and the general feeling towards fees . . . that people don't give a flying fuck about the person or people providing the product.  they just want it for cheap, and if you don't provide it for cheap, they'll go someplace else.  you can charge what you want for whatever you want . . . but please, don't act so fucking surprised that people don't like overpriced stuff.  i wonder what the fillmore charges?

so that $1.50 really makes a difference to you

tell me how
Actually it makes no difference to me at all, I never buy sodas at at shows.  It just seems like a fair price for a soda, that's all.

it's about the same at ball games

similar situation

I don't want people feeling ripped off at my shows, but we got bills to pay

and there are always those that complain about prices, so that comes with the territory...I always wonder what those people would do if they were in the same situation...make less so that somebody pays $3 instead of $4?

isn't that basically what they want...to keep more for themselves?

there is a lot of expense besides the cost of the syrup, soda water, cup, & ice...plus keeping good people to serve it

plus profit...that is why we do this

anyway, I hope the experience we provide is worth it overall...but you do have to pay for it

or not...you don't have to go if you think it's a bad deal

Bottom line, I go to a show expecting to spend $$$$ on drink.

You could actually make MORE money if the prices were a little less is my guess. I'll still buy five* drinks at a show whether it's $5 a beer or $8 a beer.

However, if it's $8 a beer, you lose out on a bunch of folks that don't want to pay that inflated price.

*that number could range from 1 to 10 actually if friends/wife is with me.

This. I honestly don't care, I'm not complaining and I love the Club, but it's a supply/demand thing. I'm not an expert but I wouldn't be surprised if charging slightly less encourages people to buy more and increases profit.

i'm assuming you're already all over this, so this is an advance "thank you" for bringing TT back to the club.  thanks!

it's not that you really need that $1.50

i'd argue that you need it even less :P

One of the first things one learns in marketing and econ is that it is often better to sell more at a smaller margin than less at a higher margin.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: RatBastard on February 10, 2012, 09:09:13 pm
I am having a tad bit of difficulty keeping track of who is replying to whom, so I am just going to make a general point here. 

1) This is not a simple matter of $1.00 or $1.50.  One particular dollar for any given drink may not mean much, but when you we add up that extra $1 every time it is paid, the sums gets significant quickly.  If we increased the price of everything in the market place by (lets say) 25˘, one could argue that 25˘ really does not matter.  We probably all agree though that in this scenario the cumulative effect of the 25˘ increase would be significant to a lot (if not all) of us.
 
2) Going from $3 to $4 is in excess of a 33% increase which is substantial.  The fact it is done in a small dollar increment does not change that fact.  Almost any commodity that was presented with a 33% price increase will evoke some sort of response from consumers.

3) I understand that there is more than that there is more than water and syrup in that coke.  I totally comprehend fixed cost, variable cost, mark up on sales, etc (my undergrad degree is in econ and accounting).  I simply think that a price of $4 for a coke is well beyond an equitable allocation of these costs to this product.

Again I hope this isn't taken as a bitch fest by anyone.  It is more me, as a consumer, giving feedback to the vendor.  Sometimes we do this by choosing or not choosing a particular vendor.  Sometimes we do this by engaging in a conversation as we are now.  (I hope that all made sense.  I feeling pretty crappy right now so I may be a bit delusional, even more so than normal!)

apparently we went to different schools.  where i studied, those types of generalizations wouldn't get you very far.  without specifics (like which market you are after, overhead cost, marginal cost, substitution, state of competition, elasticity of demand, etc) your statement is meaningless.

It all comes back to the value proposition.  Seth is (if I may be so bold) not trying to be the "cheapest soda guy in town".  If he were, he'd raise the price of other products to subsidize the price of a diet coke.  He's created IMHO the best damn club in the universe, where you can see great bands at great prices in an intimate setting with great sound and decent sight lines.  The staff is professional, serious and largely unintrusive.  Thats' what he's selling.  It doesn't appeal to everyone.  Maybe the Black Cat is better for you, since their soda is cheaper.  My experience there has been that the sound sucks, the lights are too bright and there's too much space, even for a sold out show.

Seth is competing on quality, not on soda price.  I think he pulls it off most of the time.

No, I don't love that part, but it does speak to the "feel" of a sold out show.  BC seems cavernous, especially at the back, most of the time.  It detracts from the excitement, roar of the crowd, etc. 

Part of the genius of 930 is the movable stage, which can be pushed back to create capacity when needed, or to be pushed forward to create more intimacy when a show doesn't sell as well.  I'm not sure if there's an industry standard for that, but I've never seen it anywhere but at 930.

Seth I don't know if I wrote about this earlier but I'm sorta freakin out now..cause the years keep passing..

its been FIVE YEARs since the Stooges at the 930.. then they played Pimlico.. FOUR YEARS since then... they've been touring as iggy and the stooges with james williamson and playing Raw Power for years now.. when are we going to get an area show of this? Make it happen! The 930 Stooges show was one of the best I've seen (thank you! That was big)  and I think we should get them back in town for Raw Power!

Also, 930 is just going younger and more indie.. thats been apparent for a while... even pre-Howard..thats the direction their 930 booking is heading.. they're not going to get into bidding wars with Fillmore, Howard or whoever...which is actually probably a good thing otherwise we'd be seeing a whole hell of a lot more $50+ shows being put on at the 930.

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on April 06, 2012, 10:11:52 pm
Seth,

Please book Prince Buster! DO IT! I quote below from the All Music Guide.. the great thing is even though he's pretty much retired he's still alive and ostensibly well living in Miami! Getting him to the 930 would be a night to remember!



On an island overflowing with exceptional talent on both sides of the mixing board, to suggest that just one man was the most influential is perhaps absurd, but if you took a poll, Prince Buster would inevitably win by a wide margin. He remains synonymous with ska, while being equally important to rocksteady. From Judge Dread to rude reggae, Prince Buster has left his imprint across Jamaica's musical landscape, both as a singer and a producer. 2-Tone wouldn't have existed without him, and by extension, neither would the third wave. And over 45 years after he first appeared on the music scene, Prince Buster was still making an impact.

I second the Prince Buster request.

Hey Seth,

Bloc Party is playing Terminal 5 in New York August 8th.  It appears a one-off show, but they've plenty of open dates (as far as I can tell) around then.  It'd be awesome to have a 930 show as well.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: eltee on April 12, 2012, 12:17:36 pm
Since Seth has previously been so supportive of getting Bloc Party to the club, believe me, I definitely posted my wish as soon as they gave the head nod they were out from the studio (and still a band).

I know this is a big stretch, Seth...but Green Day just announced three new albums to come out...I'm sure a big show such as Verizon/MPP will be the choice, but if they can swing into the club for an intimate show as well, that would be fun. Thanks!

Sigur Rós possibility too?

Either way, GD and SR are IMP preferred.:)
Title: Re: Hey Seth

agreed about Strathmore, although would like to take a turn at the club. Either way, if not a good fit, my wishes always infer IMP dominance for shows. :)

Hey Seth, Glen Hansard has a new album coming out. Some tour dates in the US then overseas and back to for more in US: SW and SE. Can you please book him at the club? At a reasonable cost? Thanks, much.

(I probably shouldn't ask for shows here; I appear to be jinxed. I'm either out of town or can't get a ticket for these particular ones.)

I feel like Sigur Ros would be much better suited for a theater or club. Any indoor venue, really. I love them to death but I feel like a show at MPP wouldn't do it justice and there'd be alot of chatter from the audience.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: eltee on April 14, 2012, 01:56:54 am
Agreed. Just assuming with the summer season MPP may be one choice for bookers.

Hey Seth, If you have a copy of EW magazine this week, turn to page 13 and see #4 on the Must List. "No Room For Rock Stars" is the new documentary about the 2010 Vans Warped Tour. Look at the t-shirt in the photo...(http://www.skate.vans.com/media/cache/a2/cc/a2cc302cca05448cc236dabe0be198d0.jpg)
p.s. I know there are a lot of shows to be had, but maybe you can show music movies / docs (ex/ 930 F St) at the club, or U Hall?

Hey, Seth,
the email blast lists Sondre as 9/6 at 930...Boston (Paradise) has him listed for 9/6 as does Sondre's website; and Sondre lists 930 will be 9/7...?

Its kind of sad but it is almost getting to that.  56 years old and lets see, three surgeries on each knee, four surgeries on my back, two on my right arm, three abdominal surgeries, one crainiotomy, two cranial gamma treatments, multiple eye surgeries (none cosmetic), several broken bones over the years, plus all the normal childhood things.  The freakiest for me was when they had to do the steroid injections into my eyeball for bleeding around the optic nerve.  Nothing like a hypodermic needle aimed at your eyeball to get you a little nervous.  BTW I trust you had a good time at the show as well?

Hey they have not pushed me in the hole and covered me with dirt yet, and when they do they best be holding me in there big time cause I am fighting to stay here!

But seriously, we do come to the club from Richmond specifically because it is by far the one club that makes us feel welcome at all times.  Every person who works there goes out of their way to make sure we are OK and have everything we need.  I'm sure you well know the reputation that you have and it is 100% well deserved.  On a personal note, I know of no other club owner who interacts with patrons like you do here.  While people may not agree with you all the time, I am pretty sure they do appreciate that you take things seriously enough to jump in here and let us know whats going on.  Thanks...

Its not a streatch...its insane.

I think the last time Sloan played the area it was the Rock and Roll Hotel by the way.. the time before that was Jammin Java.. the time before that was a sparsely attended Black Cat show I was at..

Should you get any odd visitors or calls...:

D.C. Resident Orders TV on Amazon, Receives Gun Instead (http://dcist.com/2012/08/dc_resident_orders_tv_amazon_delive.php)

Seth Horvitz, a Northeast D.C. resident, thought he had ordered a new high-definition television a few days ago through Amazon.com from a third-party merchant. When the package arrived yesterday, however, Horvitz opened the oddly shaped box to find something completely different.

A very big gun.

Instead of the flat-panel TV he had bought to enjoy with his wife, who is pregnant, Horvitz opened the long packaging to discover a Sig Sauer SIG716, a high-caliber, semi-automatic assault rifle capable of mowing down, well, just about anything. Its manufacturer, Swiss Arms AG, describes it as "the rifle of choice when you require the power of a larger caliber carbine." Awesome.

D.C. Resident Orders TV on Amazon, Receives Gun Instead (http://dcist.com/2012/08/dc_resident_orders_tv_amazon_delive.php)

Seth Horvitz, a Northeast D.C. resident, thought he had ordered a new high-definition television a few days ago through Amazon.com from a third-party merchant. When the package arrived yesterday, however, Horvitz opened the oddly shaped box to find something completely different.

A very big gun.

Instead of the flat-panel TV he had bought to enjoy with his wife, who is pregnant, Horvitz opened the long packaging to discover a Sig Sauer SIG716, a high-caliber, semi-automatic assault rifle capable of mowing down, well, just about anything. Its manufacturer, Swiss Arms AG, describes it as "the rifle of choice when you require the power of a larger caliber carbine." Awesome.


Amazon sells assault rifles?  I guess I won't be purchasing from amazon again.

Hey Seth.. Jack White is playing some festival in Columbia on October 6th.  A surprise at the club on the 5th would be pretty awesome. 

Yes, the date's occupied.. but hey, you can bump them to an early show.. ha.

it feels like it has been a long time since a surprise at the club...

did that festival in maryland produce a surprise at the club show last year? i kno 2 years ago was edward sharpe.

Jack White would not do for a "surprise at the club" as he's played the place a ton of times..

it would be cool to have some surprise.. Willie Nelson was a great one... Jimmy Cliff may also have been a surprise at the club...and it wasn't too long ago.

If a band isn't touring, don't gig offers need to be much much higher? I imagine it would cost an arm and leg to book a gig for a one-off show. Think about all of the expenses that would occur as one-time, as opposed to incurring over a 30 day tour.

Orbital East Coast dates coming soon accorinding to their PR company. If I hear anything I'll post it.

As for Iggy, I really cannot emphasize how incredible that show was. The Stooges are pretty much the best band I've ever seen. I saw a lot of stuff this weekend too. Dropkick Murphys, Gogol Bordello, Coheed and Cambria, Elvis Costello, Jesus and Mary Chain, Alkaline Trio, etc. and Iggy killed them all. The Descendents were pretty amazing too though. Just sayin'.

I wonder if Iggy is doing club shows... maybe he's not and that is the reason he hasn't been booked.. I do remember the 2007 show, which was amazing, didn't exactly set the world on fire ticket wise.. I had either eat a ticket or get like $15 for it outside the club.. I was pretty shocked.. then after that they played a Virgin Fest like two years later I think and that is all she wrote for DC area.. Mike Watt will be at the Black Cat in a few weeks FYI.. one could probably ask him what the deal is but I'm sure they must be asking for quite a guarantee.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: bearman🐻 on September 18, 2012, 09:56:02 am
My guess is that festivals pay them a good sum. The only other gigs I'm aware of that they're doing is Austin City Limits and a show at the Staples Center with Morrissey (VERY odd combo). That being said, I'm sure that a sold out gig at the 9:30 can be worthwhile if they line up a few other East Coast dates. The Williamson Stooges never really did a proper tour though I don't think.

I usually would not say _____ isnt _____ without _____.

BUT, even though Jerry is one of the principle song writers and all, it is NOT Alice in Chains without Layne. 

Period.  And as a HUGE AiC fan (my user name (long story) stems from the bands fan club and a clueless uncle circa 1994), I cant believe any other AiC "fan" would want to see them without Layne. 

Same with Sublime.

Its ALL Karaoke. 

This isnt Smashing Pumpkins we are talking about, with interchangeable members (other than Billy of course, SP IS Billy).

But to each their own.

Not exactly sure when you saw them but for a period of time in the early '80s, they use to play Baltimore about once a month. It was kind of like they were the unofficial house band.

My favorite part was always watching Henry's mother standing up on the tables and chairs dancing her big motherly heart out during every single show. So unpunk yet so cool.

Walky my friend, who are you going to do whatever job it is do for?  If one person offers you $25 an hour and other offers you $15 an hour, well I'd say very few if any would go for the $15 an hour gig.  Musicians need to feed their families as well.  I understand the frustration very well, but I'm not so sure it is as simple as saying 'take the money and run'.

It's a give and take. If The Fillmore booked MBV and not the 9:30, how many of you would actually skip it because its a LN venue?

Do I want MBV to play the 9:30? Hell yeah. But if for some unfortunate reason they can't and the only way I can see them in the area is by going to the Fillmore, then give me that Fillmore show.

Post by: killsaly on January 31, 2013, 04:16:53 pm
I agree that exorbitant fees on tickets is one of the worst parts of buying tickets to a 'big' show (most of the shows I go to I could buy 5 tickets for what some shows charge in fees), but I would make an exception for MBV, especially since I sold my Richmond tickets the last time they came around because I had an early flight to catch the next day.  I would watch MBV at 930, Verizon, Fillmore, BC, someone's basement, Baltimore, DC, Jiffy Lube, etc; so regardless of who gets them, if we even GET a show, I am going to go. 

I would prefer the 930 Club, as it is always a great time. 
Title: Re: Hey Seth

I doubt many people are going to see MBV on a whim.

Maybe a friend has an extra ticket, but unless the friend is an ass, they will warn them to use EARPLUGS.  Its what they are for. 

As for super loud, why not?  It definitely hasnt hid the talent of any "loud" band that I have seen.  The Vandelles, A Place to Bury Strangers, Ceremony, Screen Vinyl Image, Swans; (just to name a few off of the top of my head) sounded GREAT super loud.  Maybe I am a cheater though.  I have a pair of the Westone Etymotic ER-25 earplugs.  The bring the volume down a bit, protect my hearing, and leave everything sounded clear.

Etymotic filters feature a flat frequency response that allows musicians to hear their performance accurately while providing hearing protection. Etymotic ER-25 Filters provide 25 dB of essentially flat sound reduction from 125 Hz through 8 kHz. Westone recommends the ER-25 filter for situations where the ER-15 does not provide enough hearing protection.
Those were recommended by an audiologist after I developed tinnitus a few years ago (took around 6 months to go away).  They have made my concert goings a lot better, I dont know how i lived with out them.  Now I can do super loud, and I can still Feel the music, hear it perfect, and not go deaf.

if you have to wear ear plugs to enjoy a band I would just stay home.  reminds me of how bad jesus and mary chain were again.  I haven't seen my bloody valentine.  I loved them when they first came out.  I think their sound is dated now but I might go see them if they came around.  But if they play so loud to destroy hearing I will skip.

Well then I guess its a good thing you arent a fan of the same kind of music as me.  ANY rock show can get too loud.  Maybe not a coffee house set, but anything at the 930 Club, Black Cat, Rock and Roll Hotel, MPP, Velvet, and every other rock venue has the ability to get "too loud".  No matter the style.  I take it your DO wear earplugs to shows? 

Also why would you contradict yourself in your own reply?  You would NOT go to a show that you would need earplugs, but then you say you would go see MBV if they come around, which you will DEFINITELY need earplugs? 

But if they play too loud you will skip?  Of course they will play too loud that is their "thing."

oh you and your cheating earplugs.  earplugs, weak . . . no hearing until the next day, strong.
If I dont need them, I leave them out.  They dont muffle the sound or anything, they just make it more enjoyable for me in the long term. 

Right. It was loud but crisp. More a full body multi-sensory loud if that makes sense.
That is exactly why I love loud sets, but with earplugs.  I love feeling the music through my soul.

if you have to wear ear plugs to enjoy a band I would just stay home.  reminds me of how bad jesus and mary chain were again.  I haven't seen my bloody valentine.  I loved them when they first came out.  I think their sound is dated now but I might go see them if they came around.  But if they play so loud to destroy hearing I will skip. 
Well then I guess its a good thing you arent a fan of the same kind of music as me.  ANY rock show can get too loud.  Maybe not a coffee house set, but anything at the 930 Club, Black Cat, Rock and Roll Hotel, MPP, Velvet, and every other rock venue has the ability to get "too loud".  No matter the style.  I take it your DO wear earplugs to shows? 

Also why would you contradict yourself in your own reply?  You would NOT go to a show that you would need earplugs, but then you say you would go see MBV if they come around, which you will DEFINITELY need earplugs? 

But if they play too loud you will skip?  Of course they will play too loud that is their "thing."

oh you and your cheating earplugs.  earplugs, weak . . . no hearing until the next day, strong.
If I dont need them, I leave them out.  They dont muffle the sound or anything, they just make it more enjoyable for me in the long term. 

Right. It was loud but crisp. More a full body multi-sensory loud if that makes sense.
That is exactly why I love loud sets, but with earplugs.  I love feeling the music through my soul. 


Also, Hey Seth, Placebo would be a great show, the next time they tour.

Funny how you say I don't like the same type of music as you and then you ask for placebo.  I saw them at the 930 club as an opener.  I think I like most of the same music as you. From what you mention at least.  I like most of the Baltimore scene plus I like Screen Vinyl Image and Place to Bury Strangeers.   But whatever.  I am not wearing ear plugs that is stupid. I won't see MBV as everyone is saying they are super loud.  I want to hear music when I am older so I am not going to lose my hearing for a band who hasn't put out anything in the last 20 years. 

Oh and Belle and Sebastian at MPP is great news.  I am suprised so many people on here like them as I thought most of you guys had shit taste.  ;D

You know this reminds me whatever happened to the band Brassy?  They were so good and featured Jon Spencer's sister.  You know the one with talent in the family.

 :D

guess you're reminded every day about Jesus and the Mary Chain and am reminded you're a bit lacking but I don't post that, or do I?

JSBX has played the 930 old and new dozens of times over the years and am guessing Pussy Galore did the same so if you're trying to insult DC native Jon Spencer on the Hey Seth thread more power to you....as they say: good luck with that!

having seen Jon Spencer three times the past three years: they're putting on the best rock and roll show out there  and am hoping Seth will book them once more maybe when they get back from Europe... the last U Street Hall gig left people wanting more...my recent jaunt to Charlottesville left me wanting more.

Postal Service will get something like the Patriot Center I bet. Or maybe DAR. But no club dates. If they're playing Barclays in Brooklyn, I think it's safe to say they can sell a good 5,000 tickets in DC. I still say we need a 5,000 capacity venue that's in the city. Patriot Center would be an awful venue for this show. Too bad there aren't any large-size old ballrooms in DC that could be rehabbed.

Seth, have you ever looked into the old Washington Coliseum? Or is that just a lost cause?

That place would be perfect, good size, good location, metro access.  I walked by it the other day and was explaining the history of it to my wife; pretty impressive.  Nevertheless, I've been in a few times lately - it would in fact take a lot of work to get that place functional again, not sure if it's quite in the lost cause territory.

The neighborhood is coming along really fast, so getting approval to have concerts and events and the associated crowds may be a small problem with the new money in the area.

No idea what is currently going on with it.  I'd heard they wanted to knock it down, but then it got designated historical a few  years back.  Then I heard they wanted to convert it to a farmers market to replace the warehouses just north of there off Florida, but then Union Market got developed and those warehouses and markets aren't going anywhere.

Really they are that big?  I wouldn't see them at patriot center.  Warner Theater exists which I would think is the type of place you are mentioning.  Tower Theater in Philly is a great place to see a show.   I think the Lyric would work. 2500 capacity.

1,000,000 copies of their LP sold...they haven't toured in 10 years. Let the hipsters relive sophmore year of 2005. Stick a decent band on the bill and you've got hipster heaven. Yeah, tickets will sell.

I would love to see Blur at 930 (they played 930 the "Think Tank" tour) but i'm guessing MPP or Patriot Center is a better fit. Gorillaz played Patriot Center last time around.

I saw New Order at Roseland Ballroom in New York in October which has occupancy of 3500. DAR would be the closest to that, I think.

Funny to see that Blur has become such a hot commodity. Saw them at the Black Cat twice, Capitol Ballroom, 9:30 Club...I'm not sure I've ever seen them in the U.S. performing to more than 1500 people. I'm not sure I'd bother if they played the Patriot Center. I still fondly remember the first time I saw them in 1993 with Pulp. Terrific show.

The only time I saw Blur was at max's on broadway in 1992.  April 26 1992 is the exact date according to SetList.fm.  I don't want to see them at patriot center either but they have put out some good music since then.   .

Thanks for The Hives show last night.  A good time was had by all.  However, that sure is a lot of stairs to climb with my broken down knees to have a place to sit (it was still worth the effort).

Would you like seats in front of the stage, grandpa?

Its kind of sad but it is almost getting to that.  56 years old and lets see, three surgeries on each knee, four surgeries on my back, two on my right arm, three abdominal surgeries, one crainiotomy, two cranial gamma treatments, multiple eye surgeries (none cosmetic), several broken bones over the years, plus all the normal childhood things.  The freakiest for me was when they had to do the steroid injections into my eyeball for bleeding around the optic nerve.  Nothing like a hypodermic needle aimed at your eyeball to get you a little nervous.  BTW I trust you had a good time at the show as well?

Did you play professional football or something?  Or are you a member of a fight club?

I also find it ironic that you are against free medical care and I am for it.  Probably should be the other way around.

Well final cost of the ticket is what should influence your decision.  25 ticket with 10 dollar of fees is still less than a 40 dollar ticket with no fees.  But when a show is cancelled and they don't give you back the fees that should be illegal.  I think everyone would be happier if they just said tickets were a price and that is what you paid.  All the extra fees pisses people off and I have backed out of ticket purchases because of high fees, convience charges, print at home fees, processing fees.  It is ridiculous and I am sure it hurts the venues.   I am sure everyone would just rather everyone see the price was 35 dollars than see the price is 25 dollars and 10 dollar fees.    The government should start charging the concert industry with a lot of crimes.

I agree. They should roll the "fees" into the face value.

Part of these fees go to the concert act and the venue anyways.. they are not kept by the agent providing the "service" so to say the fees are for a service is just a lie. They are not charging $10 on the Breeders for a "service".. they are simply grabbing some extra cash and - likely, I don't know how IMP does its business- giving some to the promoter (IMP) and maybe even some to the act (Breeders).

I actually get the six drinks i would have consumed.   I shouldn't have to pay for a performance that did not occur.  The venue is the one who is using the ticketing agency.  I did not pick them.  If they don't have the performance they need to refund my money.   All of my money.  They are making money off of me.  I will say when I bought tickets at Black Cat for Echo and the Bunnymen and they cancelled they gave me all my money back.  So some venues do give you all your money back and others commit fraud.

I agree. They should roll the "fees" into the face value.

Part of these fees go to the concert act and the venue anyways.. they are not kept by the agent providing the "service" so to say the fees are for a service is just a lie. They are not charging $10 on the Breeders for a "service".. they are simply grabbing some extra cash and - likely, I don't know how IMP does its business- giving some to the promoter (IMP) and maybe even some to the act (Breeders).

I am sure most of the money goes to the promoter. I doubt the breeders get any of that money. 

I think it depends on the venue but even if that is so isn't it the same thing?
The venue books an act based on what it thinks it can make..it adds the ticket fee revenue to its estimate so its the same thing really..

oh ok let me drive 70 miles on the frickin' beltway to buy the tickets at MPP and save on charges...

so you're saying that getting tickets in person is a pain?  that's it's a waste of time, and that your time is valuable?  so valuable that you'd be willing to pay to not have to do this, to be able to get tickets from the comfort of your own home?


oh I see..so any fee is ok by this reasoning? heck i guess they could charge $200 if it was a concert on the west coast as its worth $200, right? Otherwise I'd have to buy a plane ticket to fly out there and get them in person

a limited handling/service fee is fine.... a $10 fee on a $25 ticket is not fine even if it is more "convenient" than driving into DC and picking them up in person.

Well final cost of the ticket is what should influence your decision.  25 ticket with 10 dollar of fees is still less than a 40 dollar ticket with no fees.  But when a show is cancelled and they don't give you back the fees that should be illegal.  I think everyone would be happier if they just said tickets were a price and that is what you paid.  All the extra fees pisses people off and I have backed out of ticket purchases because of high fees, convience charges, print at home fees, processing fees.  It is ridiculous and I am sure it hurts the venues.   I am sure everyone would just rather everyone see the price was 35 dollars than see the price is 25 dollars and 10 dollar fees.    The government should start charging the concert industry with a lot of crimes. 

Illegal?  They still performed the service for which the fees were charged.  If you go to a show and drink six drinks before the show starts and then the show gets cancelled because of a power outage (for example), you don't get a refund for the drinks you had.


I actually get the six drinks i would have consumed.   I shouldn't have to pay for a performance that did not occur.  The venue is the one who is using the ticketing agency.  I did not pick them.  If they don't have the performance they need to refund my money.   All of my money.  They are making money off of me.  I will say when I bought tickets at Black Cat for Echo and the Bunnymen and they cancelled they gave me all my money back.  So some venues do give you all your money back and others commit fraud. 

You actually were provided a service by the ticket company of processing you order etc.  You get the ticket price back which was to pay for the performance you did not get.  The ticket agency is the one providing the service to you and they get paid for that service they provided to YOU.  So since you didn't pick the DMV as the place to register your car and get your driver's license you should not have to pay for their services, yeah that's great logic.

97.25% sure you can buy MPP tickets at 930, too.

And (holy fuck I am saying this) Ratbastard is right.
Ticketing agency did their part by offering you the service they offer so you are not entitled to anything they get. That said, promoter and maybe the band do get a good sized chunk of that fee.

You know you are the one with all the freaking health problems.  I eat healthy and I exercise and I don't smoke and I drink alcohol regularly and I have been lucky enough to not have health problems.  You have all sorts of health problems that cost others a ton of money.  I don't know if that is because of your life choices or not.  But the rest of society is paying for your health problems.  I am guessing if you had to pay for your health problems on your own you would not be able to.  How hard is it for you to understand that society is taking care of you?  Health Insurance is a social program.  Thankfully for myself I contribute large sums of money and go to the doctor once a year for a check-up.  But I am happy to do so.  I could be next but also I don't want people to go without health care.  I don't want people to go hungry so I glad that my taxes go for food stamps. It is part of being in society.  If you don't want to part of a society go move to Montana and live in a cabin without electricity

And ticketmaster is not providing me with any service if there is no freaking show.  They are actually providing a service for the venue.  Not for me.   They have contracted with the venue to provide ticket sales for them.  If I buy tickets off a site like stubhub and the venue or the promoter has not listed the tickets there themselves than stubhub is providing me with a service.

i saw a few youtube videos of Peter Hook performing New Order and some of it is good, some of it is really bad. He sings like a muppet. His voice is better suited for Joy Division songs.

Except attendance wasn't so hot for his second Joy Division show at the 930 so...... maybe U St. Hall

Moreover, Hook BARELY played bass at the second JD show... he had his son play the bass.... so if you are seeing Peter Hook live don't expect him to even play the bass as he needs to concentrate on "singing"

I consider myself a New Order expert... and while Peter Hook is an essential ingredient the voice is Bernard Sumner.. to hear New Order songs with somebody else singing.... that makes no sense to me... and if you see New Order you're also getting Gillian and Stephen Morris... If you love New Order everyone is essential in the end.

I'd rather see New Order even without his bass... which can pretty easily be replicated.

They are so hard to replicate that his son plays them....

The bass lines are a major part of the New Order sound...coming up with that approach was an act of genius... playing them over and over again is not. Moreover, a lot of the bass lines are both simple and repeated in song after song.

The bass lines are a key ingredient in New Order but without the rest of the music I should think everyone could agree those bass lines would be fairly boring.

I love Peter Hook and am very sorry that he is no longer in New Order but honestly the dust up seems to have more to do with him than anything else and I felt a bit cheated seeing him last year when he hardly touched his bass.

Fair points, but teaching your son (who likely got some pretty key technique pointers from dad over a good time span) and having some hired gun learn to perform are different. Simple bass parts? I think they're deceiving in their simplicity, but execution is slightly more complicated.

I love Pere Ubu, and David Thomas is an eccentric nutball. I saw him once have a tantrum at the old 9:30 and another time I saw him have a nervous breakdown backstage. If you're going to go see him perform, don't expect a happy fun time.

The only time I've seen them was the Cloudland tour. Thomas seemed pretty jovial then, on and off stage.

I can't see them being booked in the main club; they're a U St or Black Cat act.

This isn't a conventional request so much as a question for the room:  if Blur were to tour the U.S. this summer or early fall, which venue would suit them best at this point in everyone's opinion?  Just in regard to the type of crowd they would draw.  The club?  Merriweather?  Warner Theatre?

Hey Seth...I know they've never really done a US Tour but I'd love to see Alphabeat at the club one night.  They cancelled their opening slot on Katy Perry a few years ago to do a US Tour which never panned out.

There's a ton of euro pop acts like them that have big followings in DC.

Edit: I see that Panic! at the Disco got added to the Fall Out Boy show on 9/10.  Any chance they can get a club headline show on the 9th?

Nods in agreement.

I saw them in Chicago for AV Fest two years ago and chatted with Matt Talbot about why these sporadic reunions are always limited to the Midwest and when he was going to come to DC.  He said the east coast frightened him, ha.  Anyway, they sounded great.  If you can catch one of their random reunions, if they ever do anymore, it's defnitely worth it.

So yeah, Seth please.  Hum.  You can do it.

It'd be really cool to see QOTSA, MBV and Phoenix do proper headlining gigs in the DC area. Though I've resigned myself to QOTSA doing a Virgin Freefest slot where we'll get like 75 to 90 minutes as opposed to 120. What can I say? We've gotten spoiled by great concerts in the area so we have high expectations. But Queens haven't been to DC since the time they toured with Nine Inch Nails in 2005. Selfishly, I'd love to see them on their own stage. Thanks Seth ;)

Hey, Seth, how about Dave Chappelle?

Hey Seth,

If not Dave solo can we tag a date onto this?

Oddball Comedy & Curiority Festival will hit 13 cities

Dave Chappelle is making a grand return this summer alongside Flight of the Conchords for the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity touring festival. Presented by Funny or Die and Live Nation, the traveling show will launch in Austin, Texas on August 23 and wrap up in Phoenix, Arizona on September 22, hitting 13 cities in total. As the promo clip above advertises, the fest will feature not one "butt" two stages, plus street performers, freaks, psychics, vendors, and a bunch of comedians.

Among those other billed performers are Demetri Martin and Al Madrigal (The Daily Show), Eric Andre's right hand Hannibal Buress (also Chance the Rapper's pal), Kristen Schaal of 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney (responsible for Stefon), Whitney's Chris D'Elia, Brody Steven, and Jim Jefferies. More have yet to be announced. Chappelle has been famously reclusive since Chappelle's Show went off the air. He's mostly performed impromptu, conversational shows since.

The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival:

August 23 - Austin, TX @ austin360 Amphitheater
August 24 - Houston, TX @ Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
August 25 - Dallas, TX @ Gexa Energy Pavilion
August 30 - Pittsburgh, PA @ First Niagara Pavilion
August 31 - Tinley Park, IL @ First Midwest Bank Amphitheater
September 1 - Detroit, MI @ DTE Energy Music Theatre
September 6 - Camden, NJ @ Susquehanna Bank Center
September 7 - Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center
September 8 - Mansfield, MA @ Comcast Center
September 13 - Denver, CO @ Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre
September 15 - Irvine, CA @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre
September 20 - Mountain View, CA @ Shoreline Amphitheater
September 22 - Phoenix, AZ @ Desert Sky Pavilion

Freefest lineup typically contains an American act well past their prime. Since they are a Britpop act well past their prime, I'm putting money on it being a $35 show at the 9:30.

Well usually the artists are 40 years past their prime. Travis is only 12 years past their prime.  Although I have never seen them and would be happy to go to their show no matter where it were held.

Hey, Seth, how about Dave Chappelle?

Hey Seth,

If not Dave solo can we tag a date onto this?

Oddball Comedy & Curiority Festival will hit 13 cities

Dave Chappelle is making a grand return this summer alongside Flight of the Conchords for the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity touring festival. Presented by Funny or Die and Live Nation, the traveling show will launch in Austin, Texas on August 23 and wrap up in Phoenix, Arizona on September 22, hitting 13 cities in total. As the promo clip above advertises, the fest will feature not one "butt" two stages, plus street performers, freaks, psychics, vendors, and a bunch of comedians.

Among those other billed performers are Demetri Martin and Al Madrigal (The Daily Show), Eric Andre's right hand Hannibal Buress (also Chance the Rapper's pal), Kristen Schaal of 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney (responsible for Stefon), Whitney's Chris D'Elia, Brody Steven, and Jim Jefferies. More have yet to be announced. Chappelle has been famously reclusive since Chappelle's Show went off the air. He's mostly performed impromptu, conversational shows since.

The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival:

August 23 - Austin, TX @ austin360 Amphitheater
August 24 - Houston, TX @ Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
August 25 - Dallas, TX @ Gexa Energy Pavilion
August 30 - Pittsburgh, PA @ First Niagara Pavilion
August 31 - Tinley Park, IL @ First Midwest Bank Amphitheater
September 1 - Detroit, MI @ DTE Energy Music Theatre
September 6 - Camden, NJ @ Susquehanna Bank Center
September 7 - Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center
September 8 - Mansfield, MA @ Comcast Center
September 13 - Denver, CO @ Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre
September 15 - Irvine, CA @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre
September 20 - Mountain View, CA @ Shoreline Amphitheater
September 22 - Phoenix, AZ @ Desert Sky Pavilion

If that happens, it will be at the Lube. Evil Nation tour.

I'd compare it to like seeing Interpol at DAR. It was Ok, but didn't have the same energy as a club. Some bands just really benefit from people being able to move around and dance. I'd put FF in that category, but maybe I'll be wrong and it'll be an excellent show.

Looking doubtful, but it's possible I guess. Depends on when Freefest happens. Same thing with QOTSA. Tour dates filling in. I feel like DC is missing out on some good tours this year. No Peter Hook and the Light this time either. No FLAG.

Just a random note to Seth that might make him smile.

Recently saw two stellar shows at the Fillmore (I know BOO!)....(also both of these should have been at the 9:30!!)

The specials...in the middle of the set Terry is speaking to the crowd and commented on the giant TV's behind the bar "what with these TV's saying : Let's be more than Friends" (Live nation's obvious dig at the FWB program).  And he was like "that makes me feel a little uncomfortable, not sure I want to be more than Friends with a TV"

Frank Turner -  in the middle of Wessex Boy (I think) there is a line about your hometown club and he name dropped the 930 club (and not the Fillmore :o )

I remember terry hall saying "Why would I want to be more than friends? More than friends like some prostitute??"

well I think for the record we should clarify we went to both shows on the house....(thanks Vas for the Turner...)

I remember him telling the guy that he could go ahead and sue him and that he could buy him a whole new wardrobe.

I met the whole band after the show and asked Josh about that and he said something along the lines of some random asshole just wanting to be noticed. So cool. He was out there with us for like 20 minutes in the rain while we waited for our ride. I was like 17 or 18... I still have that signed poster hanging on my wall!

Eat about three pounds of cheese and go sit on the toilet the next day and squeeze it out. Give yourself your own little Tom Waits concert.

No, he's not touring. Just wanted to put it on here.

I think you have Tom Waits confused with Metallica.

I don't like Tom Waits because I have no patience for people who cannot sing.  If you can't sing learn how to play an instrument and let someone else do the singing.

Please let there be a presale for board members only for the club date! Please Seth!

I saw 5 shows on that tour: Detroit (first show with Chamberlain back), Cincinatti, NYC, DC, Pittsburg. My first show at 9:30 incidentally. The Arising! tour was really awesome for alot of reasons, one being the original SP lineup for what was basically their last 9 shows, but also all the new songs that turned up on the Machina records. That material was so much better raw and not overly produced like on the records.

That tour is funny among SP fans in that QOTSA were pretty much boo'ed off the stage at the majority of that shows and Josh was double middle-fingering the fans a couple of nights, but 2 years later everyone name dropped QOTSA and that they saw them before anyone else.

I still have an autographed CD of that lineup of QOTSA somewhere. I thought they were great even not knowing any of their material walking in.

Funny, I'm a HUGE QOTSA fan (duh) but I wasn't overly impressed with them. I thought they were good but not really fully formed. But when I saw them a few years later, it was just ridiculous how much they'd evolved. Even now, the iTunes Festival live EP they just released blows me away. The version of "In the Fade" they do is probably my favorite. And that was recorded merely weeks ago. They have had a truly great run for the last decade.

I didn't think they were at their peak in 99. I saw them in 2000 right after Rated R came out and that was probably the best they were imo (that's my favorite record of theirs so that helps). I saw them about a billion times with Zwan and other touring in support of Songs For The Deaf. Think I've only seen them once after that. I was burnt out. If they play VA/DC, I'd go again at this point because it's been 7-8 years by my estimation.

Shit I had no idea they released a live EP from that. Totally have to to pick that up!

The first time I had a chance to see them was at the Lollapalooza tour in '03 or '02 but I couldn't go. So I saw them at 930 when they were supporting Lullabies. I have that poster up in my room signed by all of them. Then at Verizon with NIN and DFA1979. Then at Rams Head for Era Vulgaris in '08 I believe. I wish they came around town when the re-released Rated R and toured on that.

I thought Jay-Z was mesmerizing when I saw him this summer with JT.  I went to see entertainers, and they did not disappoint.  It was awesome.

I think Kanye's show would probably be really arty and cool visually.  But, I didn't get tickets to that because I also imagined that I would be surround by total assholes and be pissed about that...

I asked once before because Richard said they might be on the east coast in January, but now it is definite.  They have some shows booked in Florida late January and nothing announced on his schedule yet after that.

Could be a great Lincoln Theater show.

Like I said, just rumors now about the Pumpkins... (and my friend only mentioned what was going on with new members, and Jimmy and James... not sure how D'Arcy fits in it).

As for the Spree, yes.  The club show in 2007 is one of my favorite live music experiences from one of my top five all time favorite bands.  The show at Sixth and I (first one)?  I was underwhelmed to say the least, and even skipped the next time they played that venue.  Sixth and I was GREAT to see Rachel Maddow talk, not so much for rock shows (in my opinion,  I know plenty of people love the venue).

I find the original 4 SP members getting back together to be about a 0.00000001% possibility. Jimmy could come back, that I'd list as probable at some point. Billy continues to make derogatory comments about James and D'arcy and that relationship is frosty as ever. D'arcy's only public contact with anyone in the last decade was to call a radio station clearly on drugs and get arrested for DUIs.

A quick scan of SP messageboard has no one alleging any reunion. Where are you getting this from?

That was probably the best show I saw on that tour, although the Asheville residency shows were pretty great too. The crazy thing about the 930 show was even though they played for like 3:15-3:30, they left like 7 songs on the setlist unplayed.

I was at that show.  I think I have a little flag that they handed out if I am not mistaken.

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: travelinbeat on January 30, 2014, 04:39:16 pm
I wasn't in town so I didn't see it

not good?

Pixies are always good, I was just perplexed by the choice of venue.  Strath is only a couple hundred more than 930, and I can't imagine that Pixies would've had any trouble selling out 930 for even a pair of shows at that price point.  My confusion is mostly around why they were playing the Strathmore instead of 930, DAR (like a few years ago), or any great number of other venues you book. 

As good as the show was, I spent the first 45-60 min just trying to get comfortable with the odd venue-choice; it took a while to "fall into" the show experience at Strathmore.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Hexenjagd on January 30, 2014, 06:15:52 pm
Strathmore has a capacity of around 800 more people than the 930 Club (I found out after doing a quick internet search).  With tickets around $55, that is over $40,000 more money. 

I had a feeling that Strathmore wouldn't be the best place to see Pixies (I figured driving a few hours round-trip would be worth it for the experience of seeing them in a rock club, and am glad I did).

Anyways, Slowdive!

couldn't that $40,000 easily be covered by the soda beverage markup at 9:30?

Yeah I guess 1,200 (930) vs 1,976 (Strthmore) is more than the "couple hundred" difference I mentioned, but 2,400 of two 930 Club shows is more than 1,976, and as Wizzle says, the F&B at 930 is WAY higher than Strathmore (who doesn't allow food / drink in the concert hall).

Barring that, while I don't enjoy DAR very much, that venue hosts 3,702 patrons, and has housed The Pixies before.

In a perfect world, I'd see The Pixies twice in one night at the 930 Club, and IMP would sell more tickets and WAY more F&B than one show at Strathmore. 

So Seth the question stands, why book Pixies at Strathmore?  IMP doesn't get a ton of shows up there (indeed this is the first one I've seen), and this was such an odd fit.  Seems to me that if you were going to book someone at Strathmore, just about any of your Lincoln Theatre shows would be a better match for that venue.  Why not bring The Pixies into the city, ideally 930?
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI on January 30, 2014, 07:38:24 pm
Don't you think Seth's booking cost would double as well in a hypothetical 2 Pixies shows @ 930 in one night scenario. That throws your numbers all off. Bands aren't high-class escorts you pay by the night; they're per performance like your local prostitutes. Otherwise every band scheduled at 930 would play four concerts per day.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: Seth Hurwitz on January 30, 2014, 07:53:09 pm
Strathmore holds 600 more than 930

and because it's such a highbrow place, people aren't as offended at high tickets there

all adds up to a lot more money for the band
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on January 31, 2014, 12:19:21 am
Seth if you're reading I will take Strathmore over DAR any day of the week..even if it costs more.

the sound is excellent at Strathmore and awful at DAR..the sight lines are excellent at Strathmore and awful at DAR

I realize DAR is much bigger but if you guys are ever on the fence..if its dead even about which one..think of Hutch for a sec and go with Strathmore!


btw I saw the Pixies at DAR on their first DC show and the sound was, wait for it, substandard... i feel like we got jipped at that show...and so does one other person in the world who was with me whose name i will not divulge.

anyhow, thank for all the great show you guy book..it is very much appreciated.

I'll start with echoing the thanks.  Feel lucky to live in the area and have IMP / 930 so close :)

The DAR vs Strathmore booking likely would have made a difference for me with John Fogerty. (I chose not to go because of the venue!)  I generally don't even consider shows at DAR - Neutral Milk Hotel being the only exception in probably a decade.

Oddly, I have seen Joan Baez from the front row in both venues (Strathmore 2010, CH 1988?).  Strathmore wins by a million miles.

DAR is a decent venue if you're sitting in the front half of the venue and the sound guys know what they're doing.  so if your seats & the techs align, as they have for me 90% of the time at DAR, i've had enjoyable experiences there.  it's an indictment of the venue that you need to put conditions on having a good experience there, but i just roll with the punches.

If I remember correctly, tickets for their last 930 show went rather fast... I'd love to see a multiple night run at the club. Their show at The National was a friggin blast. They are so sharp in concert. I've heard rumors that they'll be in Baltimore/Maryland in the Summer... So we'll see.

The cool festival acts of the summer (since there is no (edit: decent) festival in the area):

- Slowdive
- Television
- Caetano Veloso (probably he would play in a theater, but it would be nice at the club too).

and too small for the club, but I'm not sure how booking is done

- Lee Ranaldo
- Tim Hecker (would be nice at Sixth and I)

and my dream would be that High Llamas has enough fans in the US so that they can tour  8)

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on March 22, 2014, 12:05:54 pm
I saw the High Llamas open for Stereolab at the 930 Club.

They were boring as pretty much all their albums are.. I kept buying them hoping to find something that people were seeing but eventually gave up (the one that rhymes with mingus or something bout cans maybe?).. Also what kept me buying them was the work he was doing with the groop.

I do like the Gideon Gaye one a lot though... then they did that Hawaii one which is so boring..although of course I liked the Nick Drake cover...

I remember at that Stereolab show actually talking to Sean not sure what the heck about.. probably about how Stereolab was far superior.. ;D.......or how great Nick Drake was....seems like in those days half the conversations were about how great Drake was...

Recently I found a bunch of Microdisney LPs for a pittance at a thrift.....that was Sean's first band.. I'm scared to listen to them..

Of course Sean's contributions to some of the greatest music ever made speaks for itself.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on March 22, 2014, 12:11:53 pm
Anyhow I would definitely be up for a High Llamas/Stereolab show at the 930! But the Llamas would definitely have to be paired with somebody.

I know the Lab wasn't doing that well towards the end but I hope they reunite and play at the 930! i would be all over that..


in a weird twist Laetitia Sadier is giving singing lessons via Skype or what have you.... that would be a kick in the head. the end.

High Llamas toured the US once on their own in 1997, and then in 2004. The last tour wasn't very successful. I think Sean said that they have no plan of playing outside England because people do not go see them.

The last few albums on Drag City are quite good. Mostly I like the style and sound, I don't think they have albums or shows that could make a large impact, but I think they are much better than the average touring band and it's a shame that they don't get people at their shows.

While I don't care for QotSA, please no pre-, pre-pre- and pre-pre-pre sales. For shows at Verizon or similar, last time I checked there was up to 12 different pre-sales!! and the tickets I got on the official day of sale, at noon, were literally the last row. For the Nick Cave shows this summer, my observation is that literally half of the venue was sold before the "official" sale. Then why not sell all tickets at the "pre-sale" and call it a "sale"?

If it is the first two rows for the biggest fans, OK, but NOT half of the venue.

that could be all that was available, or you had bad ticket mojo that day.  just because that's what you got doesn't mean that's all that was available to the public.

For the Nick Cave shows this summer, my observation is that literally half of the venue was sold before the "official" sale. Then why not sell all tickets at the "pre-sale" and call it a "sale"?

because then it wouldn't be a pre-sale.  pre-sale = who can get in on it is somehow limited (need a password, info sent only to a certain mailing list, etc).  it has nothing to do with what quantity of tickets are sold. 

If it is the first two rows for the biggest fans, OK, but NOT half of the venue.

why not?  there are no rules about a presale.  i dunno, but seth seems to know a thing or two about running a concert production company and getting people to buy his tickets.  i say we let seth do as he has done up until now ;D

To be clear I was talking about Arcade Fire and Nick Cave shows. I don't know who was the promoter. I'm giving up trying to get tickets for shows like this, unless this is something I am really a fan of. I don't want to bother looking on the web for one of the 12 pre-sale links, so I'm not sure this is a good promotion technique(?)

i'm genuinely intrigued by the new wave of parenthood these days. more and more do i hear people calling for all ages at bars/breweries, festivals to have kids areas, etc..  i get it, your selfish, hobby-filled life is essentially over once you crap out a kid or two. let's push the norms a little bit and be a little bit more accommodating to everyone so we don't have to totally suffer. my own selfish, hobby-filled life screams "keep your kid away from me!", but a part of me realizes i'll be there someday too. and i'll still want to have a beer, or see a show, or go to the gym, or do whatever else it is that society says you shouldn't be doing when your child is around.

Wait what about all the adults that talk the entire show?  You shouldn't bring your baby to the club but I don't see anything wrong with an 11 year old going to shows.  When I fostered I brought a 11 year old kid with me to shows and he was always well behaved which is more than I can say for 90 percent of the people attending at the 930 club.

I am an active person.  I don't think age has to do whether you stay on the couch.  Anyway in Germany kids could go to bars..I don't get the whole anti-children thing we have going in the US.  Also the anti-dog thing either.

When I was 16 I really hated that I couldn't get into some shows, although in principle only, since I found out it was rather easy to get in (Canada). To this day, I hate when I see a show that is 18+ or 21+ (which is totally ridiculous in my opinion, but I'm new here).

I would never run a marathon. It is terrible for you body. Everyone I know who has run long distances on pavement ends up with bad knees.   I am more of climbing mountain or riding moutain bike, or kayaking type of person.  Running is boring too. 

Also was playing basketball 3 times a week at lunch-time at work last year until it got too cold.  All the other guys were in their 20's.

Back in the day most shows in Maryland were 21.  I did end up going to a lot of punk all ages shows. And managed to talk my way into other shows.  Ended up having to go to DC a lot to see bands.  But I don't get the age restrictions.  Makes sense at a dance club where people are basically there to hook up but at concerts I don't understand it.

And perhaps if you take your kids to shows by the time they go as adults they will know the proper concert behavior like not talking the whole show or arriving 5 minutes before the headliner starts and then pushes themselves to the front.

I'm sorry, but I don't think small children should be taken to shows.  If you want to take your 9 year old, and give them earplugs to protect their hearing, then fine.  But, little kids have no business running around festivals like crazy.  (I realize some festivals cater to those with kids and that's fine, but I"m talking about Coachella or things like that).

There just are some places where kids shouldn't be allowed.  And people should know better than to take them there.

I went to the Petit Louis Bistro's little coffee shop a few weeks ago and it was like an f'ing daycare.  Kids running around all over the place, screaming, and the mother's just standing over them like so proud they had procreated these little brats.  Do they have every right to buy a 2 year old a 12 dollar sandwich they will 1/2 eat?  Yes.  But, I just wanted some peace and quiet.  Can't these people go to Panera Bread?

What goes on at these festivals that would require them to not allow kids?

I took my kid to Freefest twice (when she was two and when she was four, I think). Can't say I'll take her back again any time soon. The problem wasn't the little kids running around like crazy. It was the unsupervised asshole teenagers.

So this isn't the Petit Louis Bistro in Roland Park? I love that place.   No kids running around though. I did see some kids once at the table next to me once.  They were behaved playing with their legos.  They don't have sandwiches there. I am really confused.

Hey Seth...THANK YOU. One of my favorite moments of the evening was watching you from the balcony, grinning, and looking so happy/proud/overjoyed. That was a night for people who love good music, period. Trouble Funk was incredible, the Bad Brains guys shredded. And it was the best Foo Fighters concert I've seen, and I've seen my share. It was simply a perfect night. One of my favorite nights at the 9:30 Club.

Holy fuck, that was awesome last night.

Show went from 8 to 1.30 am.

Bad Brains for about an hour, Trouble Fun for about 90 minutes and Foo Fighters for about 2 hours.

Thanks Seth-last night was fucking epic!

Seth, thank a thousand times over for finally get Queens of the Stone Age to do a show in the area. I knew you'd make good, but to see a headlining QOTSA show is way better than having them perform at any festival. I've seen them do both on this tour, and the headlining show is the way it's really meant to be seen.

great question!

he's never played an IMP promoted show that i know of and Seth is on record about how they dont' know shit bout latin music..... he played lisner last time i want to say.....i saw him at the warner in 1998 (Livro Tour)...stellar show...that was the place and time to see him for DC concertgoers.... a bit unfortunately for me i was more a nervous man on the make than concentrated listener....

then in 2001 or 2002 I saw him in Bs As for the Noites Da Norte Tour (still a favorite album).... that was good but my seats were a bit too far...

and thats all i got to add here...Seth, baton to you...

by the way Seth - after all this is the Hey Seth thread- thanks so much for those two shows at the 930 Club in the late 90s... those were gold and we got a good fun crew to them....it was cool how tickets were distributed old school to those who stood in line..

Hammerhead are back together and booking shows
The Telescopes are doing some US shows, maybe a DC stop before they head home?
Chrome are finally booking a US tour

And I have to ask for Medicine to play. They've got a new album dropping soon.

Thanks for your consideration, as always!

man that sucks, but kinda of the way a rock n roll guitarist should go...in the midlist of a killer solo

His Death

Scaccia collapsed onstage shortly after midnight on Saturday, December 22, 2012 at The Rail Club in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was performing as part of the 50th birthday celebrations for Bruce Corbitt, the singer from Rigor Mortis; he died between 11:36 am and 11:40am on Sunday, December 23 at a local hospital. Although initial reports suggested a seizure possibly caused by the strobe lighting at the venue, the coroner indicated the cause of death to be "sudden heart attack brought on by heart disease".

2009 was only five years ago (I was at this show, and the one before it in 2006 at Nation), and their set is still one of my favorites.

I did see a hint of new music... A club return would be awesome.

There is such a thing as a public record. It is pretty well known.

Must be my old-timers disease kicking in.  I thought that is was way back when that I came up to the club to see them.  I don't at all recall them playing nation, but then again that club was such a total shit hole I would never have gone back after seeing just the one show there that I did see.  That aside, having The Prodigy back at the club would be great!

I always thought that was one of their weaker releases.  It gave me the impression that they ventured away from their true musical style in order to try to fit in a bit with the main stream, perhaps as a grab at a larger audience.  I don't think it sucks, just that it's not the release that comes to mind when I think of their better works.

I really wish Bruce had been there cause those bass lines on the early records are amazing.......this was the Spin the Wheel Show...

All three times he was amazing.... he's not to be missed if one can afford it.....

After his second show at the Warner I met him by his tour bus and he signed my copy of This Year's Model (my favorite album of his).......

The most erotic of all the hyperbolic digits...

69! (if you don't get it you were never a nerd)
69 really isn't a hyperbolic digit, though. 69 is legitimately used as an indicator of actual quantity with a much larger frequency than a sextillion would be.

69, yes, but 69! is pretty damn hyperbolic.
I always heard that 77 was better than 69 because you get eight more...

I see that the 9:30 realizes that some folks can't make it to the Punch Bros show tonight, and that Saturday tickets will be accepted on Sunday.  I don't have a horse in this race, but I must say, that is a very honorable thing to do.  Though it does not affect me at all, I appreciate the fact that the club is making this accommodation.

I concur. I will go to absolutely anywhere in the area for Blur. Would love it at 9:30 but I'll even break my no Jiffy Lube rule for a (completely ridiculous, hypothetical) Blur show there.

Lube, Merriweather, DAR, Echostage, any day of the week. Don't care, will be there.

Maybe 10-15 years ago he played a low key gig at Nation! That would have been the one to check out...

I think he has played Verizon like one time at least..but its been a while.. .closest he's gotten in past few years is North Carolina

Prince is one strange cat but would do very well in DC....

he's got the catalog, and he's got the live show.  he remains one of the best performers today and a criminally underrated guitar player.  see him live, if you can, and lemme know if that doesn't change the above opinion.

Dean did tell us that we could tell our "less fortunate friends" that they will be coming back in October, which jibes with an interview I read where he'd said they'd do some US dates then.....  on a side note, I saw a couple of guys at the show that I swear I've seen at the 930 Club, couple of older guys who are both short, curly greyish hair and beards, almost look like brothers.... unless they have west coast doppelgangers, I'd swear it was them.... they disappeared after the show, though, so I didn't get a chance to ask them if they were local.....

It's an overwhelming feeling to be able to announce that demand for our shows at New York's Irving Plaza has been so high that we're now adding a third date.

The best Blur shows I saw were with Pulp in 1994, at the Capitol Ballroom in 1996, and then the 9:30 show. That was definitely a special night. And they played a lot of old stuff besides the Think Tank material. They even did "Popscene" and "For Tomorrow".

Yes they did, Popscene was a total treat. I think they closed the mainset with The Universal (one of my two favorite Blur songs) and the encore with This Is A Low (my other favorite Blur song).

EDIT: Looked up the setlist-

Ambulance
Beetlebum
Girls & Boys
Gene By Gene
For Tomorrow
Good Song
Moroccan Peoples Revolutionary Bowls Club
Tender
Caravan
Out of Time
Crazy Beat
Brothers and Sisters
To the End
Song 2
Trimm Trabb
Battery in Your Leg
The Universal
Encore:
Popscene
On the Way to the Club
We've Got a File on You
This Is a Low

You know that it would be a tremendous Ottobar show. But, yes, at the 930 would be way more convenient for me.

Maybe he was trying to distinguish himself from Joe Louis who is also African-American.

I'll say this.... when it comes to getting tix in presales, I consistently manage to pull tix I'm MORE than happy more often in the I.M.P. presales than any other, and for that I say THANKS!!.... for example, the ticket I just pulled in the I.M.P. pre-sale for Joe Jackson was far better than the one that came up in the concurrent AMEX presale and also better than the one I pulled up in Joe's own pre-sale yesterday.....

I also support the Yada getting a VIP turn movement.  He's been here forever, and he still not even really a Hall of Fame level boardie. Someone this unforgettably milquetoast deserves to have something go good for them at least once!

Hey Seth,

Any chance we can add (http://forums.netphoria.org/images/smilies/rofl.gif) to our list of smilies? I find it hard to easily visually depict how another's comment has me, metaphorically, rolling around in a fit of laughter without it.
Also, if you're willing to indulge us on that, perhaps you're willing to go a step further and grant us (http://peanutbutterjellytime.net/img/peanut-butter-jelly-time.gif) as well. Sometimes you feel so excited about something that is happening, or a show that has been announced, you feel at a loss for words. You feel like you have been transformed into an anthropomorphic banana who is throwing caution to the wind and dancing and gyrating your hands in the air like you just don't care. It would be nice to be able to express that in a click.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours sincerely in boarding,

Julian

If you're truly concerned about finding the images quickly, you can just insert the link into your forum profile.  This works with links to many internet contents.  #protip

I don't do this because my years of newsgroup posting back in the day have trained me to read in a linear top-down fashion.

My personal pet peeve as a result, like your "^^ This" thing, is people (usually Rhett) who insist on top-posting on quotes. I would killfile someone who did that in the late 1990s without exception. Bad form.

I wasn't the top banana, although I did make all the banishment decisions.

No, haven't heard from Grimace since I left and don't think I ever "hung out" with him aside from the one party we through as a community. I don't remember a statutory rapist guy?

I don't know how official any of those declarations are, to be honest.

The thread where the narcissistic assholes post weekly their concert spreadsheets of what they saw that week in past years is an instant must-miss. I will probably check in with it around January 2016 to see if my hypothesis is true that, yes, they're going to post the same excel spreadsheet entries again annually with the year before's shows added because they literally have nothing better to talk about.

The nerd, nkotb, soccer, and fantasy football threads I generally never click on because I just don't care about the topic, but they in no way illicit the rancor of the thread where the assholes think their concert spreadsheet is a gripping read for others. It's the participation trophy of forum topics.

t'was indeed a great show.  perfect concert weather IMO, then again i'm canadian ;D

i expected the band to play all 11 songs off the new album and maybe 4-5 oldies.  instead it was the opposite.  some good sing-alongs too.  crowd was on the tamer side, 90% of the crowd in the pavilion remained seated throughout the show... but hey, it's Death Cab.  it's not like you should expect a mosh pit.

EitS were great, but i was expecting greatness so they didn't wow.  the expectation of greatness is a leftover of the brain-melter that was their 930 show back in 2006 (?).  still one of my all-time favs at the club.

I got my friends onto the deck (one of the nicest perks from Friends with Benefits...but the ever-awesome Eddie hooked us up this time since I bought the tickets through the artist presale), which they loved. The nearby bathrooms and access to a full bar make it such a great way to see a show in a bigger venue like that. And the overall experience of trying to get in/out of Merriweather was ridiculously easy. It helped it was on a Sunday night too, but typically I don't have too many issues. Ben seems like a really good guy. His interview on Sonic Highways pretty much summed up what I'd expect...music is probably the most important thing to him. Glad to see such a nice turnout, that band deserves it.

Echoing the thanks the Seth for DCFC-

Whilst eating hush puppies from the VIP are BBQ truck on the VIP deck, I was explaining to my guest for that show that building the deck, having access for FWB members, tv monitors, a BBQ truck (with excellent hush puppies), etc., all are unnecessary for IMP to have done - everyone, or nearly everyone, would have come to the show for the band. It is so nice that IMP goes above and beyond for us folks.

Seth - Any Wilco possibilities this fall/winter - no show here since Americanarama in 2013. ... and no headlining show since Wolf Trap in 2012?

you guys actually watch the show from the deck or do you view the show on TVs? I don't recall being able to see the band from up there.

Re: Wilco, I'd say this fall is out as their tour is announced and kicking off tomorrow.

Watched part of EITS from the deck on the TVs.
I think they could play an October/November/December date in the DC area if they wanted to do so. But I agree, unlikely.

I think they'd do well at the 9:30. Although a Lush/Slowdive, Lush/Ride, Lush/Curve, Lush/Chapterhouse gig would likely sell REALLY well. Curve is broken up but heck, I'd go see them again. I never got to see Chapterhouse. Love the first LP and all the early EPs.

I can't imagine them selling them out in America. I mean, Taylor Swift doesn't play football stadiums. U2, McCartney, Stones are really the only bands I can think of off-hand who can sell out 60,000+ tickets city to city. There's a gaping divide between selling out Merriweather (lawn and all) and actually filling a football stadium.

for their last tour, radiohead sold 180K tickets (3 nights @ 60K each) in mexico city. 

that said, not sure they could sell out a stadium in anything but the biggest markets (NYC, chicago, LA, maybe SF...).  i doubt they'd do well at Landover.

If you go back to that Radiohead thread I dropped off before I left, we've gone through this public transportation, GMO Free venues, reclaimated water in the urinals, no corporate influence, sweatshop free merchandise that costs a little "extra" but is totally worth it conversation.

There are two camps: 

People that hate everything Radiohead does.
People who worship the ground they walk on.

It's still fun every time they tour or release an album though, because at least we all agree that all of their recent albums are pure garbage.  And by recent I mean everything after OK Computer.

I picked the California shows because you can't get anywhere without a car in California and I'd been to Deer Creek and Blossom.  Also, Charlotte mentions a municipal bus that goes "near" the venue.  Hardly a workable plan for getting several thousand people to a show.  And how did you get to the Houston show?  I can't find anything about public transit.  Lots of offers for private shuttles though.

That would make a nice Merriweather show...they need to bring Inspiral Carpets and Lush with them. Heck, Ride could come back along too. At this point though you'd probably need Arctic Monkeys to headline it to make it monetarily worthwhile for all those bands.

Not a thing...Purely personal reasons. Didn't get enough GA tickets for everyone I wanted to take,  and still a slim chance that there will be a graduation on the 22nd for my school system.
Plus, I fear that I have a Cure black cloud over my head. Had tickets twice before - Warner theatre in 1985, and Patriot center about 6 years ago, and ended up missing both shows. Hoping to double my odds of not seeing them this time. 😊

Seth, was chatting with Bobb Bruno from Best Coast the other night, and one thing he said when I told him I live in DC is that the 9:30 is the best club in the world. Not the country, not North America...the entire world. And I've heard this time and again independently from people. So thank you for all you do for the bands that make them want to keep coming back again and again. We are very lucky.

As an aside, I went to see the Misfits in Chicago the other night at the Portage Theater, and God it was a dump. And it reminds me that even in a major city like Chicago (which has some wonderful venues) some promoters use crummy venues and pull outrageous stunts to cut corners and make more money. I had to leave early because the sound was so horrendous and the venue was in such shabby condition. It really ruined the experience. But I appreciate how spoiled I am after years of great-sounding shows at the 9:30.

If you must know, I kept trying periodically and somehow Ticketmaster showed 1 ticket available around 1:05pm, over 3 hours after it went on sale, and I snagged it! Pretty good spot, too. Row Q, main concourse near the stage. I must've searched for tickets about a hundred times. Sometimes persistence pays off.

And, yes, the Adele ticket prices on Craigslist and StubHub are insane!

I don't think it's useless. Seth is a smart guy. If something can be worked out, he'll figure it out. Something tells me people like Josh and Iggy would be more than willing to work with him if it's doable. But it sounds like they're trying to make this tour seem like a lightning bolt: quick, powerful, and gone before you know what's even happening. And I think that's actually pretty cool.

Your comment was reasonable; I was not referring to you. Someone pointing out "uh, the article clearly says the tour itinerary is already set" being met with "SETH IS A SUPERHERO, PEOPLE WILL CANCEL ENTIRE TOURS TO PLAY AT 9:30, JIZZ JIZZ JIZZ" is what I object to.

Given the capacity of venues being played and what the band is looking for, the Lincoln is probably too small. Strathmore fits their "beautiful venue" strategy, I just hope it wouldn't be the same night at the Feelies. That being said, DAR is probably the most appropriate venue size capacity-wise. And I'm not sure that would be so awesome for everyone (sound-wise).

The Strathmore could be interesting, but wouldn't that be expensive too?

I've been mourning David Bowie these last two and half weeks or so. The only thing that has made me happy is that Iggy has "Post-Pop Depression" coming out.

^unfortunately or fortunately I bought a really craptastic ticket.. I could not get the frickin' system to work for me with explorer and my ticket kungfu was weak and by the time I got a ticket it was lame.. plus Idid not know the first thing about the venue or understand it at all..my bad.

but you know what.. I 'm going to see Iggy Pop again! YAH! I will surely be driving to and from the show the day of the show..obviously I can give an environmentally friendly ride to someone willing to metro out to East Falls Church (I can't come into DC during the day).. on the way back I can drop person off anywhere.... I will look to leave very early afternoon to take no chances...

I would imagine that festivals pay them really well, but they could sell out the club. They almost never do club shows anymore...they pretty much do Riot fest and Punk Rock Bowling gigs. I'm guessing they just show up and gear is already there based on their contract.

I did to both as well.... did you end up making the Annapolis show you had tix for?   I ended up going to both the Rams Head shows and the State Theater show the night before, and one of the things I was looking for was to see how Pat's arm was, and I'm sad to say it's in pretty bad shape, was pretty much just hanging there, he didn't seem to have much control of it at all.... in between shows he had it in a sling....

Jim is always such a great guy.. I've talked to him- briefly- after any number of State Theatre shows... I couldn't really face talking to him this year.. a close friend of mine died in the past year from cancer and I watched it eat him alive over many months..brutal.. when I saw the picture of Jim's wife in front of the christmas tree I knew she wasn't long for this world ...

^ yes, Jim was there and she hadn't passed yet.... talked to him briefly before the early Rams Head show and wished him well..... one thing I've learned about cancer, I guess depending on which type you have, is that people seem to slowly decline over time and then at a certain point it just goes into overdrive and bam, you're gone relatively quickly..... that's how it happened for my father, at least, and a couple of other people I knew.... 
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: shemptiness on February 27, 2016, 12:51:43 pm
We did make it to the early Rams Head show and talked to Pat and Jim afterward.  I asked Jim about his wife and he got teary-eyed and just shook his head.  He also talked about getting one of his sons off heroin.
Pat wore a black sport coat with his arm just hanging limply, looking almost dead.  He seemed to think he'd be playing again, just not sure when.  I sure hope so.

I have to agree that for men of a certain age, Ace is a legitimate guitar god. I don't think it's particularly due to his ability. He was a fine player but the 70s were rife with far better players, in terms of skill and/or feel. But Ace was the engine behind MOTHERFUCKING KISS and if you were of sentient age in 1975 and you saw this photo

(http://www.epicrights.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/KISS-stage.jpg)

then you immediately became an Ace fanatic.

^ see now that i can't object to.  i never got in to KISS but i can understand their appeal to a certain age group (my degree of sentience was pretty low in '75).  but that make him a rock god with a guitar, not a guitar god.

I don't understand the question.

Who the fuck is Mudcrutch and why are tickets so expensive?
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on March 25, 2016, 03:49:40 pm
as I understand it Mudcrutch was Tom Petty's original Jacksonville band where he was the bassist and one of the singers.. included Mike Campbell and Tom Leadon (brother of Bernie who was in Eagles).. anyways when Mudcrutch moved to Los Angeles Benmont Tench joined but they did not make it -although they did release a 45 on Shelter which went nowhere.. so they broke up and Campbell/Tench/Petty went on to be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers..The story is that the record label broke them up and signed Petty as a solo act...although after the first album Petty released albums under "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers"

fast forward over 30 years and Tom Petty got the band back together for a new album and a few shows.... they didn't hit the East Coast a few years ago but are now coming out with a new album...

anyways.. that is the story of MUDCRUTCH...

as far as why tickets are expensive.. um I think its cause you get to see Petty and cohorts in a pretty small club so demand will be high.. also its in DC where things can be expensive...

Post by: grateful on March 25, 2016, 03:50:40 pm
TL;DR

Tom Petty is playing the 9:30 club.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on March 25, 2016, 03:52:53 pm
Anyways, yes.. Tom Petty in a 1000 capacity club.. doesn't happen every day.. but also Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell... the first Mudcrutch album is pretty darn good.. its a nice story... many good things going on here..


really looking forward to it...

So you're all in for $255?
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on March 25, 2016, 04:01:25 pm

I am assuming I can get a ticket for $104 or what have you. plus charges.. if tickets are 255 i will not be able to go... at least not to DC show...i have no idea what the $255 is about but i assumed it was something else.. like you get a fancy laminate .. i dunno.. do you know?

Post by: Space Freely on March 25, 2016, 04:02:36 pm
So is there any guarantee the set will mainly be Heartbreakers songs with a few Mudcrunch songs sprinkled in, or is there danger than Tom will go full on Mudcrunch?

How do those ticket prices compare to Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Johnny Cash tickets at the Club? I know Cash was much, much cheaper...but that was many years ago so apples to oranges.

And as much as I love American Girl (the song), I still don't think he's in the same category as those other three, certainly not if he's heavy on Mudcrunch material.
Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: grateful on March 25, 2016, 04:05:16 pm
$255 must be a VIP / meet and greet / soundcheck thing, or some combination.

Paul Simon was $75 (?).  I think Lou Reed was $45, but that was a while back.

I'm guessing the show will be mostly Mudhoney with a few TPH hits.

I doubt they will play ANY Heartbreakers.. I doubt they will play even one Heartbreakers song..... this is a MUDCRUTCH show.. MUDCRUTCH was a band for many many years before Petty and the Heartbreakers.. They will have two full albums by the time of this show.. plus whatever they used to play in the old days including I'm guessing many covers... they were a fixture in Jacksonville for years...playing bars I assume..

This is kind of pricier than those shows you mention.. all of which I was at..... I noticed Philly FIllmore said tickets were $64..  

It just comes down to an individual choice..sometimes if you want to see a show you pay what it costs even if its more than you usually pay.. seeing Petty in a club- for me- has always been a dream so I'm going to try to make it happen! The way I look at it a ticket in the first 20 rows of a Petty show at Jiffy Lube would probably set you back $200 anyways... and I've seen Petty and the Heartbreakers do all the songs we know.. I stopped going to Petty shows cause I dont' need to hear them and I dont' go out of my way to go to Nissan.

Seems like if Paul Simon or Lou Reed had played some Mudcrunch songs instead of their own, they would have been able to charge more for the tickets.

Petty has made this decision a lot easier by not even playing DC the last few tours..... I think (but am not sure) that he hasn't played here since 2010, maybe 2012..... and I don't count the Lock'n Fest that he played a couple years ago, that was probably a longer drive from DC than Philly is....

this would be a great show to see at the 930 but it looks like the routing has already been made...

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of their first album and following the success of their sold-out Southern California run, She Wants Revenge are continuing their reunion tour and taking the show to select nationwide cities.

After a nearly four-year hiatus, Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin (along with original members, Scott Ellis and Thomas Froggatt) are playing their 2006 self-titled debut album in its entirety in what promises to be a show that highlights the dark, dancey fun which made audiences fall for them in the first place.

Never seen anyone come on this thread and ask Seth not to book a band.. if you dont' like a band Seth books or might book don't go to the show but not sure what your problem would be with others enjoying it... maybe you're just worried them being booked might make it hard for you to pass on seeing them?

I thought that show was so boring if you're talking about the one around when Fundamental came out..it must be obvious mileage varies....Neil Tennant singing monotone while Chris Lowe didn't move the entire time and stood in front of a small keyboard..yes, they had costumes but that was about it...

the tragically hip are going on tour, and there is a chance this will be their last one.  any chance we can have a date?

edit: they announced dates this morning, looks like it's Canada only... well, if they consider coming this way, please book 'em.


An Important Message From The Band (https://www.facebook.com/theTragicallyHip/posts/10153632056502816):
Hello friends. We have some very tough news to share with you today, and we wish it wasn?t so.

A few months ago, in December, Gord Downie was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

Since then, obviously, he?s endured a lot of difficult times, and he has been fighting hard. In privacy along with his family, and through all of this, we've been standing by him.

So after 30-some years together as The Tragically Hip, thousands of shows, and hundreds of tours?
We?ve decided to do another one.

This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us.

What we in The Hip receive, each time we play together, is a connection; with each other; with music and it?s magic; and during the shows, a special connection with all of you, our incredible fans.

So, we?re going to dig deep, and try to make this our best tour yet.

We hope you can come out and join us this summer - details and dates will be coming this week.

And we sincerely thank all of you, for your continued love and support,
Paul, GordD, Johnny, Rob, GordS

I have to say for different reasons I may have enjoyed that show last night more than the two times I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Nissan....just such a great story and so cool to see Petty not having to play the  usual "Hits" yet again..

Nice surprise too to see Herb Pedersen too!

I'm assuming the point is that people living in DC need to have DC plates...that's all fine and good if they want to attempt to enforce that in true residential areas...but if I'm parked at a commercial meter then the assumption is that there are BUSINESSES nearby that I may be patronizing...and if you want to hit up the areas where commercial and residential meet perhaps they should submit warnings around 3-4AM when it's pretty well assumed that the person parked is staying overnight somewhere, not at goddamn 11:45PM.

I'm fine with the meter maid doing their job which is to make sure that all meters being used are paid up; however assuming that patrons parked at meters are residents with out of state plates and threatening to tow them for future 'offenses' is bullshit, especially when it's a VIRGINIA tag.

So in 1997-1998 I lived in Maryland and routinely parked my vehicle in DC overnight (after 8:30, when parking restrictions were lifted) while visiting my DC girlfriend. I drove the car home in the morning before parking restrictions went into effect. If these rules were in effect back then, would I have been ticketed?

yeah, I think there's actually an old thread on here about it.... or at the very least, I remember a discussion about it because someone on here got a ticket that said something like "your "out of state plates" car has been spotted parked on the street more than once" and they were instructed to go to a DC DMV and get their plate registered as a visitor, something like that.....

Nice to know that you were there too. I got there super late (like I missed the first two songs in the set late) so it's not like I could've said hello to anyone.

Anyhow, I agree with you about the show. I also am feeling a strong ditto to what bearman said. Super huge thanks to Seth for getting Lush!

I'm leaning towards the "or something" option. I doubt you're old enough for a midlife crisis, but then again maybe you're older than I had realized. I'm hoping to be back at the club this coming Wednesday for the Buzzcocks. Pretty sure it'll be the first time in many years since I went back to the club this quickly.

Sorry I missed you. It would have been cool to meet, and I had one of those nights that makes me love the 9:30 even more because we are SO lucky to have a venue that bands love to perform in. Justin (the drummer) said it was the one venue that he was so genuinely excited to come back to because it's one of his favorites.  I think Lush is a very special band, and Miki is one of the most awesome people I've met. Funny and sweet and kind and beautiful and just a really authentic and decent soul. I think it comes through in her music. I'm so happy the audience gave them so much love, it was palpable and they deserved it. I've been on a bit of an adrenaline rush the last few days because of the show...wonderful times, and the 9:30 is the site of many incredible memories I've made. Thank you Seth and everyone from the 9:30 that makes these shows happen.

ghosts, speak to us in dreams . . . because it is easier for them to communicate with us, that way.  it is painful for the dead, to speak to the living, and I appreciate anyway there is to take away the pain of attempts to hold onto to the past.  imagine that; it hurts the dead, to speak to the living; plus, we can learn a lot by listening to them.

http://pitchfork.com/news/70452-president-obama-signs-anti-scalping-legislation-banning-ticket-bots/

The new legislation was created to allow fans a greater opportunity to purchase tickets at face value when they first go online. According to a statement from the White House Press Secretary, the act ?prohibits the circumvention of control measures used by Internet ticket sellers to ensure equitable consumer access to tickets for certain events.? Ticket bot software allows scalpers to buy up large quantities of event tickets quickly before average consumers can purchase them. Scalpers can then jack up the prices as resellers in secondary markets like StubHub.

I volunteer to spearhead this project of tentatively named Capital Radio One.... with some seed $$$$ and strong relations with IMP I think we could deliver a robust alternative to our current airwaves...some DJs under consideration could be

DJ Yada to lead "The Brown".. jam band focused... latter era Phish.. Jerry singing right before he croaked etc..the "browner" the better... think 38 minute poopship destroyer..
DJ Julian would of course head the radio version of "Julian's America" (This is one I think we could syndicate nationally)..of course he will need an entire team of staff to support him
DJ Walkie on his return will lead a show about cats and gays...its time slot will vary and it will move around and take unexpected hiatuses just to keep the audience on its toes and wanting more.. also the show's name will change repeatedly
DJ Sidehatch will oversee a show about has been punk/hardcore acts with guest Bob72 and weekly calls to Rollins.. Ian MacKaye will also chime in ocassionally with stories of Dischord revelry..there will be a lot of talk about the good old days skateboarding etc
DJ Kubacheck will take the graveyard slot and play 90s alternative rock (Luna, Smithereens, Feelies,etc)
DJ Relaxer will host a prime time show about sex in the modern age (a sort of Dan Savage for the straight world)
DJ Seth will host twin shows on Saturday nights "Gambler's Den and "The Ravens Show"..
DJ Kettlebug will host a health show focused on hearing aids ("Can You Hear Me?") and "The O's Hour"
DJ Bearman will handle Britpop delving into his boundless collection to play deep cuts from the likes of popular acts like Carter USM...
DJ James Ford will take a look at the long dead alternative country genre while also hosting a show on personal finance and provide "life coaching" on other matters.. this will be a call in show and Kosmo will man the phones..
DJ VanSmack is a tough one as he could handle multiple concepts...a show about baseball sort of from a would be general manager's perspective, a "lifestyles of the rich and the famous" type hour, "The Technology Hour" and a show for anglophiles to be hosted jointly with former boardie Frank Gallagher ...all come to mind as possibilities..
DJ's Hutch and Dyecraig will cohost "Cratedigger's Corner" where we will focus on fun stories of digging through boxes full of moldy records in order to get our fix and our favorite "scores".. Dyecraig will handle most of the human element stories (ie. the lady who used to work for Van Halen, etc) ..we will partner with area record stores
DJ Kosmo will take the reins on "Boardie Bastion" which will be a reality show based around the concept of a guy who likes to DJ and somehow gets roped into being the moderator of a rock club forum.. riveting stuff with special panel discussions on subjects such as spam, trolls, you name it!.. for the sake of authenticity real life boardies will be featured and there will be a segment were callers get to decide outcomes (ie., Who gets banned? Boardie 1 or Boardie 2)

It has yet to be determined exactly how seasonal specials/award shows will be structured... for example the prestigious 930 Boardie of the Year award will become formalized as an award show of the Emmys/ESPYS sort to be broadcast live on Capital Radio One and simulcast across the nation on the Capital Radio One Radio Network (CPORN)

other DJs in the lineup to be announced soon.... we are particularly looking for a Go Go expert to cover the nation's capital homegrown music scene but may simply have to draft Big Tony.. also a strong effort will be made to recruit DJ Killsally to host "The Hobo Rock Hour" wherein he will be on location at different hobo rock venues -primarily in the Baltimore area- covering the up and coming hobo/busker movement..

i was talking to him about this at the  Priests show.
He needs to do a scouting mission to S. Korea and pick up 2 or 3 small up and coming acts and take them on a 20 date small club tour of the US
I think with some good promotion in the Asian and indie community the tour would be hugely profitable

then then next time around get the bigger acts
third time around...sold out arena tours

And since everyone is still freaking out over the foo fighters...why not just have the Foos do a three night residency (or hell a week long) residency at the Anthem? I don't think they've ever done something like that. It would be one crazy way to kick off your new venue. It would kill the scalpers and plus, some lucky or unlucky crowd could get a night of just a few new songs and a big covers set. (Seriously though any true Foos fan would love a solid covers set. I even joked at the RFK gig how they could just keep playing covers all night)

I don't think they've ever done something like that. It would be one crazy way to kick off your new venue. It would kill the scalpers and plus, some lucky or unlucky crowd could get a night of just a few new songs and a big covers set. (Seriously though any true Foos fan would love a solid covers set. I even joked at the RFK gig how they could just keep playing covers all night)

Scalpers don't have any of these tickets sister, just a bunch of rich white youts from in and around DC.

Oh so that's why they're going for $1,000+ on the third market. I wasn't sure if it were scalpers or what. I just knew someone is trying to sell what they have for a crazy amount and I had to explain to my friends out here in Allegany County how it works with paperless tickets. I also had someone on Facebook tell me I was a jerk for finding the $100 price a little too rich for my blood (for me to get tickets for myself, my mom and my sisters, it's quite a bit of money) but this lady sounded like she had never even stepped foot in the club before. "The band is being generous playing such a small venue..." I was like "You do know that they've played the 9:30 and Black several times. And I'm pretty sure Dave still is one of the owners of the Black Cat. It wouldn't surprise me if he invested money into the Anthem." Of course, I didn't get a response after that. Not that I'm trying to be a know-it-all. I love music and everything 9:30 club. I've been coming to the club since September 1998 at the age of 13. I totally support what Seth does. I'll put it this way, if I didn't, why on earth would I have a 9:30 club tattoo on my wrist? I have a feeling there's a good reason for the $100 price tag on those tickets with it being opening night of a brand new venue that sounds like it's going to be quite legendary.

Can't wait to check the new venue out.

hey seth,

excuse my ignorance on this question . . . but is ticketfly owned or associated with Ticketmaster / LiveNation?

I just received an email from Ticketmaster, thanking me for my purchase to the LCD Soundsystem show, which I purchased through ticketfly, and that I will be receiving a free copy of their new album, if I "just click here" and give my address and phone number and Name. 

Is this a scam email?  Doesn't this site already have my name and address and phone number, since I ordered tickets from them and they are sending my tickets to my address and name? 

Edit . . . Just Googled it, Ticketmaster does now own Ticketfly.

Speaking for myself, my work schedule is such that sometimes I don't get to leave until about 9pm. If a show starts at 9:30, I can figure out if I can make it to the club in time...sometimes, I'll be able to time it so that I can leave work, change out of my suit, then get there just in time to see the headliner take the stage. The set times have become so helpful and ultimately can make me decide whether or not I attend a show. It's pretty disappointing when you think you can see a show, then realizing the band went on 30 minutes earlier than you anticipated and you miss the bulk of the concert. Even though you can try to guess the set times, it's very much a crapshoot until the day of.

I'm literally stunned someone who runs multiple music venues cannot figure out why it might be helpful to know what time a band is going on stage.

I live in Reston, have a 5 year old. If I can make a show at the club, it will usually mean driving in on the later side. I'll still probably hit traffic, and I need to know if it's worth my time to maybe see half of the headliner's set.

I almost1 regret blocking Hutch because he's no doubt currently fanboy-ing harder than anyone has ever fanboy-ed and going on a tirade about how time is an arbitrary construct and we're all stupid and Seth is the best and has a very large penis and he's naming his next child Imp in honor of 9:30's greatness and he doesn't even own a watch so what difference would it make if he knew when things start?





1 I am using hyperbolic language for dramatic effect and, in no way, approach any regret related to blocking Hutch.

Seth wants you in there spending money on his food and drink, so if he doesn't post the set times, your concern over missing the headliner will have you there early, presumably spending money.

I'm sorta thinking it is an oversight with the transition to the new web stuff.   But now the issue has I.M.P.'s attention.   

The bar revenue thing (and any increased entry lines or smoking-area gathering at announced start time) probably doesn't affect the majority of the crowd.   Us, on the Board, know of the resource of settimes and make use of that but the clear majority of the crowd -- since the place is usually crowded enough by the time we get in there -- is already there and buying drinks.      But an extra beer or two multiplied by X number of people who show up "too early" multiplied by Y number of shows.... well that does add up.   Yes, I.M.P., that's true. 

But in today's world, especially because the set-times were part of our lives for so long, and lives now are scheduled more and more, and we've all got smartphones to enable our busy world, we want and need the times, I.M.P.    (If anything, lie a little teensy bit to force us in a little early.   And adjust the pattern so we don't detect it.....   But better to not tinker)    If you take away the set-times, might as well take away our free water at the end of the bar too.   :(

Title: Re: Hey Seth
Post by: hutch on July 13, 2017, 04:47:47 pm
well the question was asked..so I take it at face value.

pretty much what everybody else said...I mean everybody who took the question seriously and not the forum clown, village idiot, etc..

but here is how I would honestly answer it:

I am in my 40s with two young kids... the set times make it possible for me to know when I can leave and still make the show...time is a luxury I don't have especially at night with having to get the kids fed and to bed..same goes for most people I know in my age group..... I can't be at the club much before the band goes on..if a band goes on at 9 that is just about the time I can make it.. . my family's schedule doesn't allow much else..I rarely can meet people before shows for drinks or whatever.... also the set times allow me to be somewhat calm about making the show, trying to pick sidehatch up, or whatever...otherwise everything becomes pretty chaotic and messy ...then you get to the club all frazzled...this is precisely not the point of going to see a show for me... I'm trying to get away from the stress not create more of it! if I get there frazzled it will take a few songs to relax..

the other key reason the set times come in so handy for me is I like to pre-party before shows..its been years since that involved drugs unfortunately but I do like to drink a few before the show...then when I get there I keep drinking so i don't think it cuts down on what I drink at the club. .in fact the opposite.. if I show up sober to a show I'm less likely to drink than if I show up with a little buzz...I do have to put in a plug for people that like to get legally high in DC... the set times help them get there for the show feeling on Cloud 9...instead of sitting around with a killer buzz being wasted.

i can't speak to what reasons would spur the 930 to eliminate something that makes its customers very happy, adds to the quality of the experience, etc... it could be simply the idea that people might get there earlier and they might be able to sling more drinks and make more money.. .. or it might be that too many people show up close to when the main act goes on (although I always do this and never notice long lines, etc.) putting a strain on door staff and also meaning too many people opt out of giving the opener a chance.....  I'm not sure I entirely buy the money reason... there is a whole hell of a lot of good will that is engendered when the 930 Club treats people like adults and I think it comes back to the 930 Club..

I have always thought that the club posting the set times was really respectful of MY time..when I go to Live Nation events- rarer and rarer- I sometimes think I've been taken hostage and am being offered really crummy beer at exorbitant prices etc.. when I go to the 930 at least I feel like I am allowed to decide when to get there for the main event because i am told when it starts..when what I am interested in starts....and the beer options are good (for me)..going to a 930 show from arlington va, arriving there and walking in, getting my tab at the bar going, drink in hand, and the band i'm there to see going on right then- like clockwork- is AWESOME! makes you feel like a million bucks.. at least that is the way it is for me..

I guess I like it a lot the way it is..but i would adapt and i bet I can estimate when the main act goes on fairly well... i can also reach out to Eddie on the board or the club via twitter or whatever.. but there would always be that nagging insecurity that would come from not being sure...to illustrate... recently i went to charlottesville to see franz ferdinand.. i tweeted to the venue when they thought they would go on cause going down there for me was a huge deal and i can only leave when i can leave...they said "aiming for 945".. i took that as 945 although in the back of my mind i thought "hmm..sounds a bit late".. I ended up getting there at 945.. the band was on like song 5.. that sucked... the Jefferson Theatre is no 930 Club.

umm.. challenged is a respected professional.. if he doesn't feel like he can get a good grasp on timing for making his plans he may choose to have that dinner at a fancier restaurant and forego the show entirely..or he might amble over to the Hamilton instead..

I'm hoping this is an elaborate troll by Seth, but it's pretty damn obvious why it's helpful to have set times posted.

If this is a ploy to get you to buy more drinks, it ain't gonna work for most concert goers. I either get tanked or have max three drinks no matter what at a show and that won't change if I show up an hour early.

I guess a good rule of thumb for now on, if you can't handle to miss a second of the headliner, show up no later than 9pm.

Out of the 1,200 people at an average sold out 930 Club show, how many people do you think actually checked for the set times on this site?  1%?  5%?  I am guessing the number is not even that high.  I get why it is important to a lot of people on here, but damn you guys sound like entitled crybabies.  And some of you older folks act like millenials are the entitled ones...  I am sure Seth has heard your reasons and is taking them into consideration.  But, come on, page after page of explaining to him why it is important?  Pages of questioning his business practices?  I probably go to way more shows than most people here, and I have a super busy life, and somehow I am able to figure out all of the shows in regards to set times; either by asking on Facebook event pages, or by figuring them out by the information given to me (number of bands, door time, show start time from websites).  It is not hard to do.  If you are so worried about planning out your shows, then what good is getting the set times the day of the show?  They help you for that day, but if you really need to plan your night, you probably would need the info earlier than day of the show.  Why is it so hard to ask Eddie on the FAQ board?  He always has a good answer, and usually responds the same day.  At the very least he gives you the time that the first band plays.  Asking him seems to be a better way to see if you can actually attend the show than if you get the set times given to you on this website the day of the show.  And what about other venues that do not post them?  Do you whine about that?  Avoid going to non-IMP shows?

That's a mild improvement, but it's not good enough.

And to the person that suggested that we should just ask in the FAQ forum for the set times for all the shows we attend, the questions are being unanswered there. So far the answers are just what time the show starts and maybe when it ends, and nobody even bothered to reply with that miserly information to the question about the Ben Gibbard show.

The part that makes me sad is that, honestly, posting the set times was what made me a fan of the 9:30 Club in the first place. It showed how well the place was managed, and it respected the audience. I'm dismayed by this sudden reversal. I work late into the evening most days, and I guarantee that the direct result is that I will attend fewer shows because of this change in policy.

Ex Hex is currently the best band in DC. I knew they'd be wonderful, but that was the best they've ever performed (and I've seen them like 5 or 6 times). The two new songs shredded. I actually think I may have enjoyed them the most, though the Belle and Sebastian dance party at the end of their set was fantastic.

In all the MPP press coverage this summer it's mentioned that I.M.P. has a 40-year lease on the venue.  Question:  Have you arranged for your personal immortality or are you figuring on the Boardies to participate in a Willy Wonka-esque competition to take over the keys to the kingdom?

Point being Surprise shows are more intimately sized shows at the 9:30 by artists that usually play larger venues.

Hey Seth, please bring back the set times! Either post on the site like you used to or post on Twitter (like RNR Hotel and Black Cat do).

I have a fucked work schedule and sometimes am still at work at 10pm or am actually going into work at 9pm.  So yeah, knowing the set times would be good for UHall, 930 and Anthem shows.

Plus, some of us still actually take the metro and it'd be good to know if I can make the last train back home after a show or should budget for a cab/uber.

And consider this: some of us try to pack in two shows at your venues in the same night. I'll start with UHall and then move to the 930. Would be good to know if I can comfortably make both shows.

Often knowing set times (not just "show time," that says nothing at all...l) dictates when you have to leave work, what transportation you will be able to use, when you can meet friends, whether you can fit dinner in.

Again, my biggest question is why stop now after listing set times for a dozen years?

The simplest answer is usually the correct one: Seth does not care about his customers or music; he only cares about squeezing every last penny out of people. This is his prerogative as a business person.

If he stepped up his beer game instead of offering the same garbage beers year after year, I might be inspired to go early to a show. As it is, I'd rather sit home and play with my pets until the last minutes.

Geez..tough crowd...

We're seasoned veterans. Some of us aren't so young anymore. It takes more to get us to make the time to see concerts, especially after a long crappy day dealing with nonsense at work. And I'm getting to the point where I need some incentive to find the energy and spend the money/time and be around hordes of people elbowing me and spilling beer on me. Maybe that sounds like an old fart but I don't give a rat's ass. It's a business...keeping customers happy is part of the deal.

Ah, I can't comment on the beer thing. I'm not a big beer drinker.

All I can say is that I miss seeing those set times...it really takes away a variable that can make or break an entire evening for me. This is a city that is ruled by calendars. Minutes in the day really do count here. It's a Type A city where you fight to make the time to actually break from routines you get stuck in. And I am not saying I don't value Seth's ability to give us top notch shows. But it's just frustrating because I find myself doing less because I don't want to take that chance that I have to throw a ticket away. That's all.

Per usual, I agree with Bearman heartily.  To Julian's purely provocative response, how does not posting set times help the club, make money, or do anything really?  Sure, it could be off a bit, but I'd think folks who know enough to look at the website for set times are savvy enough to know that it's the schedule, and the best estimation that can be made in advance.

I already told you all here:

Seth wants you in there spending money on his food and drink, so if he doesn't post the set times, your concern over missing the headliner will have you there early, presumably spending money.

Makes perfect business sense to me.

Classic Seth.

Thinking this through:

Ultimately, the logic is that the buyer won't make a purchase/no purchase decision due to set-times (late-shows/early-shows excluded) because set-times were typically not announced until the day of the show. Us show-goers, and the younger folks that replace us over time, are going to purchase tickets to shows that they want to see, and if no set-time is ever posted, we/and those that follow us, are just going to show up on time to try to make sure that we/they see the part of the show we want to see.

So giving us notice of the set-times is something that IMP/930 does for us that is nice for it to do, but it is not really necessary or a "whether to buy a ticket" decision point for us. And it may make IMP/930 slightly more money if we are in the club longer, and makes the openers happier that there is a larger crowd present (though, does anyone really care about making the openers happy?)

The thing is that IMP/930 does nice things for us that it doesn't need to do (formerly posting set-times), FWB, World's fair, some presales, this BBS, and the like, that it doesn't have to do, and because of that it is hard to understand why IMP/930 would stop doing a nice thing for us that it didn't ever need to do and it causes this dissonance.

I was thinking about this on the way home.

Not knowing set times will definitely reduce the number of last-minute shows I attend, but (as posted above) if it's something I wanna see, I'll still buy tix in advance and will be sure to show up on time.

It would be different if there were decent seating options. Much happier to arrive early if I can sit in the spot I'll be catching the show from. Sadly, I'm not 22 anymore and do try to cut down on standing time at shows. Perhaps this is how old folks like me get weeded out of club shows.

All of the "nice to do" but not mandatory stuff  you mention though is why is Seth is IMP and not Live Nation. It may be a business, but it's one where the customers are given a reason to be loyal. That's what makes a business successful and why bands fuckin' LOVE the 9:30/IMP/Seth (and trust me, I hear it ALL the time). Just sayin'. The little things that mean a lot.

Sure, I get that and I agree.  My question remains why stop a "nice, customer friendly" practice which they've done for more than a dozen years, and in fact likely started (such that other clubs/venues now post set times day of a show)?  I guess cynical interpretations win out, it's about getting you to the club earlier to drink more beer.  All I can say is that breaks my heart to hear and believe about a club and company I've loved and touted for 27 years.  I am pretty sure I've been to 9:30 club 300-400 times.  And whether I get there when doors open or just for the headliner, I normally have a healthy bar tab.

Once again, I think that was a bad attempt at trolling by our resident Jules. Is your consumption of alcohol really going to change that much??? (maybe one drink??) if you show up XXX amount of minutes earlier. I've never eaten once at the club in 15 years and that's not going to change if I show up 30 minutes earlier than I typically do.

I'd recommend just smoking a giant brain dart before entering to limit the need of alcohol and then going to Ben's Chilli Bowl afterwards.

I think the point people are missing is that, in addition to it not being on the main page, Eddie has also stopped giving us itemized set times when queried in the FAQ section as well.

This is not a redesign thing or a coding issue or the coincidental loss of a staffer. The same dude who answered the question for the last decade+ is suddenly not doing so and is not doing so consistently, in a clear 180 from a decade+ of precedence. This clearly speaks to it being a conscious, calculated decision.

How about you put a paywall up for set time access...charge maybe a quarter per request

so...

set times...

a few different reasons...

they were often inaccurate, as we are dealing with human beings not videos and they just don't function like clockwork...

in my experience, posted set times were very accurate.  i can't recall an event that was more than 10 minutes off.

we got complaints when the schedules weren't as posted, so we got tired of that

that seems weak, seth.  i'm willing to believe that some complained about inaccuracies, but how many more complaints are you getting now that they aren't posted at all?  if number of complaints is truly your motivation, you'll be putting them back up again, right?

and the new website provider for some reason is now not able to add this info the day of, which is often when we figure this stuff out, so we just put door times now, which we do know in advance

i'm surprised to learn that "ability to easily and immediately update the website" wasn't included as a requirement for the new website.  if it wasn't, that was an oversight on the club's part.  patrons aren't happy.  to me, this amounts to something that should be fixed.

as others have pointed out, there are other avenues for posting this info.  FB and Tw seems perfect for this.

but as you all are vastly experienced 930 goers...how are you not able to figure out approximately when the band you want to see goes on, and how often are you wrong and by how many minutes?

i can indeed make an educated guess: openers 30 to 60 mins after doors, play for 30-40 mins, 30-45 min break, second opener plays for 30-45 mins, 30-45 min break, headliner.  delta between low and high estimates: almost an hour and a half.  that's a pretty big window, enough to miss the headliners set entirely.  obviously that's an extreme, doubtful anyone would be that far off, but missing half of the headliner wouldn't be that hard.  there are occasions when we just can't hang out all night at the club and wait...

besides all that, yes we want you getting there early and not pre-gaming and spending your money elsewhere

fair enough, you run a business and you want to maximize revenue.  but at what cost?  are you going to take the airlines' strategy of nickle and diming us on everything?  pulling every trick in the book to get us to spend more?  of course not, that's never been your business model.  along with profitability, it's my belief that you care about the experience, about getting repeat business, and differentiating yourself from your competitors.  the posting of set times contributed to all 3 of these.

Rarely did a band hit the stage more than 15 minutes past the posted set times. I always thought it was incredible Seth and his Staph were able to get a stereotypical unpredictable lot to commit to a stage time.

I realize this might not seem like a big deal, and in the grand scheme of life we deal with stuff and move on (if we survive another day that is). But this is a business and we are patrons, and this thread is a constructive way to come up with solutions to issues and money makes the world go round. So here's me stepping up to the mic one more time to whine. The more I think about this, the more annoyed I get simply because the excuses Seth gave weren't really valid reasons, as sweetcell showed. No disrespect at all to Seth, but if I think of the thousands and thousands of dollars I've spent and literally hundreds of nights I've spent at the 9:30 and IMP shows, it just feels like a slap away when all I've tried to do is be loyal. What bothers me is that in this day and age of technology, just send out a fuckin' Tweet or a Facebook update if your web site designer (who I'm sure got paid good money) can't be bothered to include a feature that clearly existed in previous versions. Stick a window on the main page like the Black Cat does to show the Twitter feed, which shows what the set times are. I don't even care if it goes out at 5pm when you have it locked in. I don't buy that people complained if set times weren't entirely accurate. I mean, like to the minute? Maybe the bands I choose to see deserve attendance and punctuality gold medals. Because I never had issues.

Hey Seth - you might want to ask your IT guys to make sure The Anthem and IMP website's security certificates and stuff are up to date. My browser at work threw up a "open to hackers" warning when I went to both sites and my employer just blocked your IP from our computers as a security risk. Looks like 9:30 Club site is fine though.

There aren't set times for movies. Instead, they make you sit through 20 mins of previews for movies you have your interest in are playing so you can get your pregame on with overpriced popcorn and $5 plastic bottles of water. Unless you were smart enough to byo.

Ok, I've been whining about the set times as much as anyone.

But....

We went to see needtobreathe last night at the 930.  The whole experience was great.  Door people were super nice, it took 45 seconds to get through security (which is necessary), the cupcakes were large and tasty, and the vibe was so positive. 

With the Doors at 6 and the Show at 7, it wasn't too hard to figure out that the headliner would come on at 8 or 8:15.

Also, big fan of these earlier shows, and I'm guessing it was because there were going to be a fair number of kids there. 

So, I continue to think it's really nice to have the posted set times, but it probably isn't a big of a deal as I thought it was.

Hey Seth...I know Julian is quite the blowhard on most issues

But I got to back him up on this...today the website is still saying "NOT SECURE>>>>GO AWAY"

You probably don't notice it because you already clicked the "I trust this site'  but first time visitors don't get that
they get some scary page that says not to go here

your webteam sucks balls if they don't know how to fix that
I know where you can get some top notch IT support if you throw those guys to the curb
that is an inexcusable offense and grounds for firing anyone who is managing your web site

HA! That'd actually be funny. I'm so not the guy who gets banned, except for the time I got kicked out of the Oasis backstage area. I've noticed some bands post set times on their own Twitter feeds. Queens of the Stone Age did that for their show at Red Rocks tonight. So there will be other ways to get around it. Some bands I can actually ask directly. We'll just keep the set times thread going in case anybody gets intel.

Actually I think they played the Club in the Spring/Summer of 2016.  I was out of town and hating life.

I think it was one of the first shows for this current lineup sans Doug (he's integral) touring behind the release of Please Be Honest (which might be the worst GBV record).

Today's GBV is like the Golden State Warriors of rock.  Epic epicness.

Awesome!!  Then, I will make sure to get there for the opening act. Hoping to meet anybody that plans on going.  Of course, I will be in a drag queen t shirt, because I never know whether it's couth to actually wear a band shirt to a show of the band that you were seeing, even though I have some obscure killer Dead Milkmen t-shirts.

I would love to relive that Stray Cats show from the Warner in 82. Would be a really fun show at the club.

Wow I was just thinking about the Stray Cats also when I saw announcement they are playing their first show in almost ten years in Vegas...my thinking is always that it must be hard for Setzer to make it work unless he leaves money on table cause his solo or orchestra shows always do well...but yeah the short set at Jack Fest in Baltimore was a treat!

Thank you again for Mew last year. It meant the world to me to see them again at the 9:30. My absolute favorite album, Frengers, is coming up on its 15th anniversary and Mew is planning some dates to play it in full. I saw that they will play Brooklyn on 10/14. Would we possibly be able to get them around that time? Thank you for reading.

They don't strike me as the type of band who'd do a farewell tour or even necessarily an announced final gig. They play for themselves (though they did play my request for "For Awhile" and it was fantastic). Anyway, it sounded great and the band kept commenting what a welcoming audience it was. Afterwards they said that on stage it sounded fantastic. Another terrific show and evening. Thanks.

They had to reschedule their show in Jersey that was suppose to happen this weekend, but LiveNation who booked it got all scared about the Hurricane. Plus, the band didn’t want their fans from the lower part of the East Coast to travel during such bad weather.

Considering they’re doing an indie show with the cool folks who throw Riot Fest, I don’t see why they wouldn’t do something with IMP.

Seth, just a shout out for the extreme professionalism of Anthem staff at the Goo Goo Dolls show. Everyone was so warm to me and my bf, from door staff to people manning the VIP area to everyone working backstage (and by the way, it was my first time back there...very cool dressing rooms!). It couldn't have been a nicer evening, and the fact that it went so well made it so pleasant. I'm really starting to appreciate the Anthem now that it's been open a while. The NIN/Jesus and Mary Chain show likewise went so smoothly and for being a sold out show it felt like there was just the right amount of room. No hassles at all. Congrats on the first full year.

I wonder what Stereolab will do...

They probably will start by playing festival dates in Europe and the US (if festival promoters want them)...then a few club shows in the US

Who will be in the band?

They have always been so prolific I imagine they will record a new album

Their popularity in the US really nosedived towards the end....I hope absence has made people’s hearts fonder for them as they have always been a favorite of mine...for sure I relish the idea of seeing them again

A random observation, and this is by no means a criticism. I saw Jawbreaker at Anthem last night (which one could argue could have been a fairly quick sellout at the 9:30), and I'm guessing there was about maybe 1500 folks there max? Not a bad crowd, but it was interesting how when Jawbreaker came out, the sheer size of the venue took the band a bit by surprise. It was at least a 3 songs before everyone sort of got over feeling dwarfed (audience included), and then it started to feel more fun. If it had been at the 9:30, I think the energy would have been more immediate from the get-go. It turned into a great show, and sounded wonderful...the band found their way to fill the venue up with sound (as did War on Women, who were amazing). Change is never easy, and I love that you can get a big band (say the Black Keys) to come do a show there instead of in an arena, but I hope that next time Jawbreaker comes around (here's hoping) you won't shy away from putting them at the 9:30. Some bands just genuinely connect better with fans in more intimate venues. But as a businessman, I get it. You have to turn the lights on to pay the bills.

I think that there were at least 2855 people at Jawbreaker, Bear. I think that the floor at the Anthem probably holds at least 3 930club crowds. Would love for Seth to confirm attendance in this thread along with the news of the Hives show.

The crowd did seem very low energy, and me and Vas were definitely contributing to that lack of oomph. Tired. Old.

That said, I did really enjoy the breakers, and the women, and Pogoh as well. And I was #blessed with free tickets.

Also, spending wise: Vas bought 2 ginger ales and a Wharffle. I bought the show poster.

Interesting...I think presale wasn't much more than 1500, and it didn't seem like there was that many more folks...the stage was definitely moved forward last night. I was just curious. If it was that many in attendance, then I'm happy for the band that they could draw that many people. I didn't expect it.

I think you should do it where the LandMark fest was

Or alternatively you could do something where you have a long weekend of shows at all your venues and you buy a wrist band for $250 and that would get into most of the shows (The VIP band would guarantee admittance and you'd get a free lanyard)

Hey Seth!  the bird and the bee are touring in August in support of a Van Halen covers album.  Philly and Chapel Hill are the closest shows.  Any chance you could bring this to DC?

I really think it’s (past) time Underworld come back to the area and the Anthem would be perfect. EDM shows at Anthem are the best.

They got a new “album” coming out soon. They seem to play very few shows in the US and I think an east coast exclusive would work well.

They are known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and embittered explorations of austerity-era Britain, culture, and working class life, delivered in Williamson's East Midlands accent.

My wife was unaware of who he was. He showed up at a party being held by one of our beloved forum members that we were at, and began playing music (recorded, he wasn't making the music himself). After the party, my wife asked me who the guy was who showed up and played terrible music.

This could be cool if the original poster is cool but there doesn't seem to be a way of knowing what that looks like absent a Google search. Like that Green Day on in the example looks super lame. The Fleet Foxes/Animal Collective one, on the other hand, is great.

I think the posters are the one the IMP printers came up with or IMP gave them the specs to use to print...some are cool and some are not...it’s true


I have a few around that I got from the 930 walls at shows...it’s those posters..the ones that were hanging on the long corridor in front of bathroom at 930

It says orders fulfilled by “Keepsakes Frames” which is so generic I can’t ascertain who it is

If anyone needs contact info for printer to see about a particular poster let me know but I have thought best not to post details publicly

If the Talking Heads who famously have indicated they will never reunite ever were to do so for a one-off, I think its pretty obvious it would be in DC because Seth is bringing the pole back to retro-930 and that pole is the cornerstone upon which all of rock n roll -- pre-pole and post-pole -- exists and was formed.

Thanks for the generous offer. To be clear, I wasn’t predicting a show in my question to Seth. I was asking if one was likely. I’m old and don’t want to travel to Brooklyn anytime soon. Sometimes we get lucky with answers around here.
However, being a sporting fellow, how about this. If a show in the DC area is announced by Feb. 1, I win. If not, you do. It will be fun to play. Are there any merch offerings or gift cards that benefit staph? If so, let’s bet one of those. If not, a $25.00 IMP gift card works.

Obviously I'm proposing no such thing.

How about this, pal: if LCD SS plays a DC-area show (Baltimore does not count) before 3/31/2022, I'll buy you a general admission ticket. If they don't, you buy me a $25 IMP Gift Card?

Thanks for the generous offer. To be clear, I wasn’t predicting a show in my question to Seth. I was asking if one was likely. I’m old and don’t want to travel to Brooklyn anytime soon. Sometimes we get lucky with answers around here.
However, being a sporting fellow, how about this. If a show in the DC area is announced by Feb. 1, I win. If not, you do. It will be fun to play. Are there any merch offerings or gift cards that benefit staph? If so, let’s bet one of those. If not, a $25.00 IMP gift card works.
I am fine with your alternative wager. Game on.
Let’s rock and roll. I am sad that you have to root against an LCD show to win, though.
I mean if there's no LCD SS show, I win. If there is an LCD SS show, I get to go to the LCD SS show with date Here's the Thing.

You do understand we're going together, yeah?

Besides his first two masterpiece albums before Mellow Gold . . . Mutations affected me deeply as a music listener.  I also caught the Patriot Center show and though I don't consider it a meh show, it definitely did not have the power of the Lincoln show.  The Patriot show was more of a showman's show, where the Lincoln was an artistic experience.

Dude tell me you remember you saw him at the club?

Sea change is a pretty good forgery…. One song completely copies a Gainsbourg song..another does the same with Nick Drake… “Hey dad can you copy Riverman on the strings? Yeah here is the Nick Drake song..”….”Hey dad you know how I am always going on about Melody Nelson by Serge being my favorite? Can you copy it? Even if I keep yapping about it nobody will care and people will think I am a genius!”

When I saw him At MPP it was much better…at 930 it was like a white dude trying too hard to be Prince and it wasn’t quite clear if it was a joke…uncomfortable

I think people love the 9:30 because it's often the first club that bands of that size arrive at where the staff and promoters and things all clearly care about the band. They feed you at load in! They make cupcakes for you! There's a decently clean backstage! After touring small, grody venues, the 9:30 can feel like a homecoming.

The fact that a band is playing your venue does not entitle them to come and conduct commerce on your property

What if they decided to try and sell groceries, or rabbits, or whatever they’d like because “people wouldn’t be here if we weren’t playing”

People wouldn’t be there if we didn’t build the venue either

We’re all in this together…all of the income streams like merch and bar and ticket fees go towards paying the band

I have always found that people accusing others of trying to make money are only upset because they want that money themselves

Originally I thought Atlantis would host bands on the way up AND on the way down but not so sure anymore….

I think the plan is for it to be a feeder of up and coming acts which will then play the 930 and keep moving on up to Anthem and MPP…

I mean look at the acts playing once the opening over 44 nights was done….not a lot of older acts…

Not passing judgment either way…love the Feelies and would love to see them

At Mom’s Organic Market, saying goodbye to ‘Mom’s Organic Pinball’ (https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/12/03/moms-organic-pinball-college-park/)

Hey Seth, I know that you're into pinball as much as the MOMs owner. It would be great if you two could partner up and open 3 or 4 pinball halls scattered around the DMV.

Ocelot Brewing in Sterling has a dedicated room with 20 or so pinball machines.

I like the idea that he just wanted Seth to know he liked it.

It was a trap to make sure you were paying attention and not rooting around in the couch for spare change in order to fly west for the Cruel World festival.

the Cruel World festival.

Heck...hey Seth can we get Lol Tolhurst and Budgie

and while we are on Santa's knee making requests can we get Siouxsie Sioux too

oh and I think JAMC would be better at the club


edit 1
Oh and Daniel ash reached out to me personally and let me know this
Daniel Ash
Glenn Campling has moved on but has given his full blessing for Diva Dompe to play bass and keyboards on this gig

in 2017 they called it PopTone, but it's the same thing?  It was a fun show...but honestly not even close to the amazeballs that Love and Rockets were.  What is up with David J, trying to make a million on his crappy solo stuff and DJ gigs?

edit 2
welp here is the answer and it's worse
Francisco Ezequiel: Without Glen and including Diva, isn't that Poptone?

Daniel Ash (admin...so not DA)
No, Poptone played LnR, Bauhaus and Tones…. This is strictly Tones on Tail music.
-Admin

edit 3 how'd I miss poptone in 2018 at FSS? must have been out of town

edit 4 - general public?  are we getting a ranking roger hologram?
