Just Announced

[conorh98]

I think I remember reading that Kurt Wagner was touring as Lambchop sans the rest of the band. If that's true, it could explain the backstage venue.

I also seem to remember reading on this very board that some of their previous Black Cat shows were sparsely attended, though perhaps I've confuded them with someone else.

I'm guessing it's with the full band (which now seems to be a bit smaller than in their heyday, don't think they had any horns on their new album). Right now only a few dates in the mid-West have been announced by the band or Merge, but they say they're full band. The BC show wasn't included, but would be surprised if the lineup changed for the East Coast. I guess backstage is kind of a surprise cause it looks like they're playing the Bowery in NYC a few days later and Johnny Brenda's too.  I guess people appreciate good music more up there.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. Just saw the ticket prices from the Warner Theater website...

Ticket Price: $375.00 and $500.00

Let's guess the ticketmaster service charge on this one....HAHA

Jay-Z will perform at Warner Theatre on Jan. 19

175 for the $500 tickets, 120 for the $375 tickets.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Holy jesus, $500?!?!?!

That's insane.  That being said, it'll most likely sell out. 

[azaghal1981]

I guess 930 could've done something like this and charged double instead of renting out the club.



But then again, I bet that rent check is pretty fucking handsome.

nas was so right.

[jetelo]

Shocked at $500 for Jay Z?  What is your reaction to $1000?  Clicked on the link and it says $375-$1000.  Wow...

I guess 930 could've done something like this and charged double instead of renting out the club.

Please, they could have charged $500 a ticket easy for Jay-Z and sold out.  still not happy that it's being rented.

Anyway, can't you buy them at the box office or through livenation.com to avoid ticketmaster's fees?

[walkonby]

i don't think 930 would be ready for that kind of search/metal detector, "what do you mean you don't serve cristal here?!"

? Johnny Brenda's is fairly small venue as well. Never been to Bowery, but anyhow, at times booking is just as simple as what space and date available or coinciding. That said, you are also probably right.

two additional nights of thievery-- fri, 1/30 and sat, 1/31

via the going out gurus blog

Pretty much everybody knew this back when the first three went on sale. I got PMs from like 3 different people telling me to hold off for the weekend shows.

Does anyone know when these shows will be announced and when they will go on sale?
