So when I saw these listings here I was SO SOLIDLY SURE that someone had jumped the gun in announcing JLL or MPP and that Live Nation (which I guess has the tour) and I.M.P. (which has solid history with the band and Darius) were just fighting it out and one would win by paying a dollar more or whatever....
To think that of all bands that would be doing double-duty in the area, within two weeks, it'd be this one -- wow! I just am glad I don't make wagers on these kinds of things...

It doesn't seem so crazy to me that someone would play both MPP and JLL. I know it takes a HUGE draw to get me to brave the traffic to go to JLL from downtown. I've honestly driven up to both Philly and NYC more frequently for shows over the last decade.
Clearly that bill can't fill either but I wonder if they really have that much overlap by playing twice.
