Next week roll call

[Vas Deferens]

Castanets!
 
 Rodrigo Y Gabriela bored me at Lolla. I couldn't understand why many people dig them when they play mostly cover songs.

Stars for sure.
 Maybe British Sea Power.
 
 Too bad the Middle Distance Runner CD release conflicts with the Stars concert, or else I'd go to that, too.
 
 I wanted to see The Hives again, but I didn't get a ticket fast enough.

i'm not as crazy about the Stars new CD as i am about the previous one.  they rocked the black cat the last time, with lower expectations and the great album.  this time??

I'm worried about that combination of factors, as well. But friends from Ontario who have seen them multiple times tell me they've been very good recently--even without Genevieve, the violinist--so I'm not discounting them yet.

their show at the black cat was charismatic and polished -- very professional.  despite doubts about their new album, i expect them to maintain standards.  it's good to hear confirmation from your friends in the north...
 
 if i have doubt about the event, it's because i want to check out x at be bar for once -- it collides with stars this saturday.

btw, anyone know when stars will take the stage on Saturday?  7 pm doors with no listed opening act...

Stars!!!  I am in love with the new album.  Whats not to love.
   If i lived near d.c. i'd probably see cat power and Rodrigo Y Gabriela.

Oh, well if we're counting the next week too, I'll be at Rodrigo y Gabriela and then Billy Bragg the night after.  Triple nighter, and they should all be awesome shows!

[azaghal1981]

They moved the backstage witchcraft show to the mainstage. So now they're opening for trail of dead.

selling my tix for the hives & british sea power this week for a last minute trip to VEGAS ... i'm kind of angry that i'm missing them, both are top-tier live bands
 
 billy bragg, jens lekman, and new pornographers next week

I don't know why but I figured Boris/Damon & Naomi would've been a bigger draw on here.

poor marketing, and/or they suck.

Wow, you are quick to jump to conclusions. Maybe you suck?
