Pretty please...Dean Wareham doing Galaxie 500 songs! I'd really love to see him. He's doing some limited shows in Atlanta, Philly, LA, NYC and SF.

Plus one! Please.  Many great Luna shows over the years at 930 (including one they recorded for live album).. Bring Dean and Britta back!

The lackluster Dean&Britta show that I saw a year or two ago at the Black Cat wasn't near to being sold out.

I bet a Galaxie 500 reunion show couldn't even sell out the 9:30 Club.

Probably not...but it'd still be nice to be able to see some shows at the 9:30 that don't have the objective of selling out. I still remember the Electrafixion show in 1996 when like 20 people were in the audience, and Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant were doing a ton of Echo songs again. Some of those shows can be pretty special.

Betao's wishlist:

Gary Numan
Underworld
Orbital

Really I wanted to go to that Electrafixion show but couldn't make it down that night.  It is funny they didn't have Ian and they called it Echo and the Bunnymen.  Ian and Will get back together they call it Electrafixion.  Then they get Wes back change it to Echo and the Bunnymen.  Wes leaves they keep it Echo and the Bunnymen.  They kind of killed their own career doing that.  "Reverberation" shouldn't have been under the Echo name and "Burned" should have been if that was the case they would probably be a lot more popular today.


Anyway back to the point.  They probably figured that show would do pretty well.   They are probably just getting better at booking bands that will fill the place.  I saw a very small crowd show for a Mission UK/Gene Loves Jezebel/Mike Peters show too.

Was at last Dean and Britta show. Great show.

Not sure what was lackluster about a show where they played Galaxie 500 songs for the first time, Velvet Underground, New Order, Bob Dylan

Shit man. that was a great show..went with a three Galaxie/Luna fans who I 've seen Luna with numerous times and we all loved it

The fact they didn't sell out the Black Cat doesn't mean it can't happen at the 930 or that it wasn't a really good show... It means it probably won't

But there have been bands booked at the 930 knowing they are not going to sell out..

Maybe combine them with someone else?

I mean to me they are the kind of band that sort of belong at the 930 because of the numerous shows they played there..cut them a little slack and make it work

Sleep just announced some September dates with three open nights between 9/3 at ATP NY and 9/7 in Philly.

[reggie]

Seth, Thanks for the Teenage Fanclub gig !

Now, how about My Morning Jacket, surprise at the club on 10/24 or 10/25 ?

[bearman🐻]

Any chance you can get Interpol for a show sometime this year? Didn't they skip DC entirely in their last tour? I know they played around DC (Baltimore and other places in VA). Just curious. Seems like there's a handful of bands that haven't played here in years...Queens of the Stone Age is another one that comes to mind. And Social Distortion.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Queens of the Stone Age

Seconded. I don't know whether a full US tour for them is in the works this year, but I would LOVE to see Queens at the Club.

[Unsanity]

Queens of the Stone Age and/or Sleep get my vote too. Queens hasn't played DC in at least five years. So we're due I say!

Did they tour after the Virgin Fest set?  I thought that was the last time they toured, and dc didnt get a show due to V Fest....

But yes, if Rams Head gets them, 930 should too.
