Just Announced

Did I ever tell y'all about the story of the girl with blue hair who gave me Pixies tickets in London? Sure I did. Did I mention the opening acts were Pere Ubu and Miracle Legion?

I like both the Sadies and The Constantines but am happier that they Constantines are playing - I think they are fantastic......I have no idea what the Tragically Hip sound like however....

I am happier with the Constantines. [/b]

I've seen both the Sadies and the Constantines, and the Sadies are definitely more my bag.
 
 Don't care much for the Hip. Have a solo album by Downie which is ok.
 
 I'd love to see a DC Sadies show. They always seem to skip DC when touring.

 good grief. there's a band i haven't thought about in a while.
 
 except for when i watch my pete and pete DVD's

Don't be so sure. I saw the Constantines several times last year when they were opening for the Weakerthans. Their live show is much better than the CD might imply.
 
 Where we're really getting short changed is the fact that the Constantines/Sadies are opening for the Hip instead of the other way around. It's time for Das Hip to call it a day. The new CD is simply awful. It's hard to believe this is the same band that wrote Day For Night.

i cant BELIEVE you!!!
 
   Pearl Jam's new CD was awful too! (sorry, kosmo!) but when you go see em live, you go for the whole catalog, and i just dont think they've lost a step in their live show.
 
   As long as they dont go "World Container" heavy on the setlist, we'll be right as rain.
 
   and dont pretend like you arent going or something...

Adam West unfortunately had to cancel, but the other bands will still be playing.  should be a good show

I saw Constantines in 2003. Sorry, they just weren't my thing. I even bought the 2003 cd for a buck, tried to like it and failed. I think I ultimately threw it in the garbage (wasn't in original packaging, so had no resale value).
 
 On the other hand, I love me some Sadies.

 Here's hoping they come back to Jammin Java, they put on a great show the last 2 times.

people from the front royal / winchester area go to jaxx?  really, wow.  seems a far drive just to see napalm death or a reunion of cannibal corpse.  but, then again, when "sweet carolines" is the best musical venue we have in this area, i would drive anywhere to basically see anything . . . unless of course it was at jaxx.
