Just Announced

[reggie]

Postal Service sold a million records and only did one proper tour. I think the demand is there for them to pack Merriweather....not sure if a sell-out matters though, I'm sure IMP will make dough even if it is at 75 percent capacity.

Anyone remember that Washington Post chat Dante did when they moved the Black Cat to its current spot? Someone asked if they would keep prices similar to that of the old location and ended his/her comment with "I don't want to pay $20 to see Belle and Sebastian." Dante replied "yes" but that has also changed.

Edit: Found it.

I also misremembered the quote.

I appreciate that you try to keep it (relatively) cheap, but I'm not looking forward to playing $25 + service charges the next time Belle and Sebastian
come to town and play at the 9:30.

PS - just confirmed that Black Pus is at Metro Gallery, not at Golden West.

Love,
your favorite concert calendar (I hope).

The Philly date of this tour got cancelled so they moved it to DC.

Saturday, March 9th @ RNR Hotel - Today Is The Day w/ Black Tusk, KEN Mode & Fight Amp

I hate that place but still might go to this to finally see KEN Mode.

Also Clutch at Ram's head sold out. Anyone got an extra ticket or two? 

[Relaxer]

Dying to see Fight Amp and Black Tusk and would like to see KEN Mode. Have never heard Today is the Day though, so we'll see about that.

Ken Mode played Golden West last October with Bell Witch, who were great.  (I left before Ken Mode, no regrets.)

Postal Service is popular enough to headline MPP? Really? How many top selling albums or singles have they had recently? Or ever had?

I realize the answer to the same question for Belle and Sebastian is 0, but they are sort or revered indie icons. Does Postal Service have the same status?

I'm guessing about 5k tops in ticket sales for those shows. IMP is making some interesting choices in summer bookings.

There's no doubt whatsoever that Postal Service will sell tickets.  You could count on one hand the number of people between 16-30 years old who haven't listened to that album all the way through at least a few times.

HGJ has this event crossed out on its Tumblr page.  Looks like it's cancelled.  I've asked around for more info; will report back if I hear anything.

Yeah I asked a member of Priests. No response yet. It is not listed on their Bandcamp. Oh well the CD Cellar show that night is a fine backup.

i'll give you one guess where the story was linked from, if you read the comments.

Jesus Christ......

Place was sweet. Landrum must have really hated his landlord.

Confession: I've never heard it.

[James Ford]

So did the 16 year olds listen to it when they were six years old, or have they just discovered it in the last year or so?

A former boardie gave me something by them ten years ago. I listened to it a few times and tossed it aside and haven't listened since. Really, people still listen to that stuff? I'm shocked.
