New Pornographers - Sat night

[fishrokka]

Based on a blog post I just read about last night's show, it appears that the New P's have both Neko and Bejar in tow for this tour leg. Nice.
 
 Logistical question: what are the chances I can go for a double and try to catch The Broken West at the R&R Hotel Saturday night after the New P's at the 9:30?
 
 Looks like there are four bands playing Sat night at the R&R hotel with the show staring at 8:30, I think I might have a shot if I cab it right over.
 
 BTW, The Broken West are awesome, if you haven't heard their new record yet; they are like Teenage Fanclub Jr.

Don't know the answer to your post, but I saw New Pornos last Friday in Chicago and it was a great set.  Neko and Bejar are on this tour, though Bejar only came on stage for a few songs, Neko was out there for the duration.

Have I mentioned that I really need one ticket to the New Pornos show? Oh, right, I have. (Someone with an extra, please PM me!)

Woo Hoo! DJing this one, as well as the Weakerthans, and Shout Out Louds.  Is it to early to bust out the Halloween tracks?
 
 This will be a Canadian Invasion Weekend with a Swedish skirmish at the end.
 
 Don't about the getting from point a to b to see The Broken West.  Haven't seen them live yet but am diggin' the Broken West record. Be sure to track down their earlier EP recorded as The Brokedown.  Not to be confused with the ass clowns The Brokedowns who forced the band to change to their name.

I love the Broken West but I don't disagree with you on this.
 
 However, even better live that EITHER band are The Whigs, who are playing with Broken West at Rock and Roll Hotel.  One of my favorite young live acts going.  I know where I'll be.

I saw New Porn back when B&S came to town. Being a huge fan, I had to say I was overall disappointed with the preformance. I don't know. The sound sounded pretty off to me. Hopefully the fact they're the headliner might help. Hope it's a good show!

I was disappointed too, but it's because Neko wasn't there.

i hate this thread cause i dont have tickets to this show.....

I've only seen them once, at the Black Cat with Neko but no Bejar.  Really fun show, so I'm looking forward to this one.  Plus, it's a show that my wife is interested in, so it'll be cool to drag her out for a night on the town.
 
 The only problem is that she may be working all day on Sunday, so we might just show up to sell our tickets.  Darth Ed, I'd be happy to sell them to you if you're still looking, but I probably won't know until a few hours before showtime.  If it changes before then, I'll let you know.

Am I the only one who thinks Carl Newman is the sexiest man in rock and roll?

[Vas Deferens]

Ummm, no way.

Watch the way he shakes that sexy tush, and your mind will be changed. And he just has that sort of magnetic personality that is irresistable.
