I'm really surprised this show isn't sold out. I knew it wasn't going to be a DCFC or B&S/TNP, but I still expected it to sell out within the first day, at least.

They've already done HFStival. :/

Ditto, thanks.  I jumped in my car and headed to the club yesterday as soon as I read this thread.

It was indie hype that led to an Arctic Monkey sellout before the show was even announced.  I've learned to 'believe the hype' and get a ticket early if there's a show I wanna see.  (And yet I still lost out on the Stars show!)

this show was announced on the mailing list about three weeks before it sold out.
 
 and all this YYY hate is way off the mark. "Fever to  Tell" is really the only debut album to hold up well over time from all of those NYC bands.

I think the reason it isnt sold out yet is because it hasn't really been announced anywhere. The only reason I knew about it was because I saw the performance date of April 3rd and knew that they had to be selling tickets soon. I believe the link went up on Thursday through the 930 page on tickets.com alerting a Saturday morning at 10:00 onsale date. Like a previous poster mentioned, unlike the Arctic Monkeys, no hint of this show was put into either the e-mail list or the mailing.

 their songs are brilliant.  Karen is an amazing performer; she puts every ounce of her being into her singing and the music.  
 and Nick is horribly talented...
 
Are you kidding us? The band is gutter trash.

That's okay, you were pretty measured about your comments on them, and they seemed pretty fair. Unlike Julian Porn.

I thought my commentary was spot on. The band dresses like gutter trash. Amazingly, they also sound like gutter trash.
