Matthew Sweet

[bellenseb]

Anyone heading to this show?
 
 Sweet always puts on a great show, but I'm curious what the turnout will be like. It's an early show and he hasn't exactly been in the public eye lately.

I'm going to be there with about 6 friends who go to very few shows....  According to Eddie, no worries of a sellout.  
 
 I'd have thought Blues Explosion would sell more tickets, and the 9:30 Club weekly email is giving away free tickets to that show if you go to M. Sweet as well.  Not a good sign....but we'll have a great time.  And Velvet Crush should be great -- that's what got my interest up.

I love Matthew Sweet but $20 seems a bit steep...

[bellenseb]

I'm looking forward to Velvet Crush too...apparently they're playing one big set, with VC as Matthew's backing band, and the VC songs played in the middle of the set, so get there early.

Not compared to $55 for Fogerty.

Cool!  I was going to get there early regardless, but I won't let my friends dilly dally...

I'm in for both.
 Fico stick around for JSBX.
 I don't think it's a bad sign necessarily about JSBX -- word just needs to get out to people who don't know of them.

Spencer is a local boy, isn't he?

[Sir HC]

Early on Spencer was a local, Pussy Galore started in DC.
 
 Is Richard Lloyd still with Sweet?

[bellenseb]

Lloyd played on Sweet's recent album, but he's not touring with him. The current lineup is:
 
 Pete Phillips - lead guitar
 Paul Chastian - ryhthm guitar/vocals
 Tony Marsico - bass
 Ric Menck - drums

[Bags]

I just don't think I want to be at standing at the club from 6:30 until 1:00 a.m. or so....  It's tough enough seeing two shows on two consecutive nights!  

[ggw]

So I guess nobody is going to Fletchers to see ex-Superdrag frontman John Davis?
