 one the one hand i thought this was a step down for them since they played the 930 last time, on the other hand "PRODUCED BY LIVE NATION"

WTF?!

hopefully they go on late (it's a friday show, very possible) so folks can make it from the snow patrol show to the 930 in time for RJD2.

The Live Nation aspect is shocking enough, but I still can't believe Stellastarr* is playing at the Rock 'n Roll Hotel. No offense to the RnR Hotel folks, but I'm under the impression that it's a fairly small venue? Stellastarr* has sold out the Black Cat and has come close to selling the 9:30 a couple of times. Is this some kind of House of Blues-related backlash?

by my estimate, the R'n'R hotel stage room holds about 200 people.  that's what i meant when i originally wrote "on the one hand, i thought this was a step down for them since they played the 930 last time".  and since when does live nation organized shows at such a small venue?!?  maybe they want to move in on the bar/small venue scene <cue ominous music>

Fuck yes! Will not sleep on tickets this time around. Still baffles me that he sold out the 930 last time.

I'm sad to say that stellastarr* can no longer sell out the Black Cat after that terrible 2nd album...heh...hipsters only go to shows from acts that have good albums..

It holds well over 300 people...

downstairs?  300?  i find that surprising, but you'd know better so i'll defer.  but the point remains: that's between a third and a quarter the size of the 930.  and tix are only $12, so they're not making up through higher prices.

Its like what happened with the Sounds show there in October.  I think RnR Hotel must have some sort of deal worked out with Live Nation.
