RICHARD ASHCROFT @ 9:30
« on: February 12, 2003, 08:59:00 am »
I heard that Richard Ashcroft is going to tour North America in April and is planning to stop by the DC area. His last show at the 9:30 was stellar. Thoughts and Opinions?

I wonder where you heard such a rumour.<P>Well I guess it wouldnt be a surprise. He has alredy toured UK and Europe for human conditions.<P>He is playing an odd date in London on 26th of March but then that seems to be it.<P>I for one would go, even though I am not a big fan of the new album.

While I agree with Markie about being let down with the new album, I will absolutely see him again after his last show at the 9:30.  Probably my favorite show of that year.  <P>He made me want to be a rockstar and drink lots of Stella.

When was his last show here? (Just moved to the area last summer) Was it before or after Alone with Everybody?<P>Also, how does his new album compare with the last one? I thought Alone... was nice but was a little let down by it; suppose I was expecting something spectacular.<BR>
