Just Announced

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

I loved that first album, and the show they played at the Black Cat (with a pre-Fuss Killers opening) was one of the best shows I've seen this decade. I thought for sure they were headed for the big time, but as Julian pointed out, the second album was a letdown.

I saw that same tour, but in Richmond. All of 30 people showed up. Heck of a show. Ambulance Ltd was also on the bill, another band that put out a really good first EP/LP then dropped off.

Sonic Youth presale was supposed to start at 10AM - I imagine it's sold out?  How much are tickets anyway??

I was able to pull 1 ticket at about 10:15. But i couldn't get 2

The tickets were $25

Hadn't seen this one before - should be a pretty great show. Really liked Jansch's Drag City album from a few years ago.

enjoy Sonic Youth. Bowerbirds and Megafaun = great bill.
hope there is a second Sonic Youth date though.
i'm just a little underwhelmed with Sonic Youth live nowadays that I don't care if I miss them.

If Pollstar says there's another date, it must be true.

J/K; I've seen mistakes up there before.

Don't know but I just asked Casey Thrushes for you. He's good at knowing that kind of stuff.

Regarding Chairlift: They had to put someone in there for dinner and bathroom breaks. 

-Edit-
No clock times yet but that list is believed to be the order of play with APTBS being the closing headliners. Looks about right to me.

Baltimore is a 2:00AM bar closing town so I suspect it may all end about midnight or so. Maybe sooner. You know there's always various locals who won't let the racket go on any longer. Anyway, when I get any further word, I'll post it here.
