"Big Gigantic" sounds like something some insecure bro would name his penis.

the Postal Service

Postal Service and BS/Yo La Tengo are the "big announcements" that MPP was tweeting about yesterday?

Lolz

[azaghal1981]

I think B&S/YLT is pretty big but anybody who frequents this board knew it was coming.


Postal Service is cool but I was never a superfan. Would be more likely to do that one if it were in DC itself.

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.

I got a press release that said this was at Golden West, but it's on the Metro Gallery's schedule....so I would tend to believe that.

Well, the Postal Svc has already sold out one show at the Barclay's Center in New York, so they apparently do draw-- at least in NYC.
