Mark your calendars / Arcade Fire

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

I don't know if any of you are south of DC like myself, but there's a virtually unannounced show (I don't see it on the band's website) at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC that still has tickets on sale. That's probably like a 4 hour drive from DC, but it's a Friday and even with gas you'd probably save money over buying ridiculously scalped tickets.
 
 Just a heads up.

 i'm pissed, and i need two tickets.

Who are you pissed at, the 930 club?  You seem to frequent the board fairly often and knew about the show last month.

I think it went up on the website on 12/22.  That was about a week and a half ago.  When did it actually sellout?  I didn't notice until yesterday morning. I'm not very surprised at all though. They topped everyone's "Best of 2004" lists and all reports say their live show is even better. This was guaranteed to be a hot ticket.
 
 On the other hand, The Scissor Sisters also sold out well in advance.  That surprised me a bit.

It's been listed on the Merge Records site, though.
 
 I bet the folks at Merge are happy campers these days...

Ah, well it wasn't when I posted at least. Thank goodness I got tickets.

Mac will be able to finance a couple of more lame Supercrunk and Portapotty albums.

those of us without tix will just have to make do with this Arcade Fire Live

[kosmo vinyl]

man will they be rocking the side stage at hfstival or what this year   :p

[SalParadise]

maybe a bit optimistic...
 
 but i can see them adding a second early show.
 
 the show is on a sunday. they're not scheduled to play either of the two previous nights (they'll be rested). and the only other "two shows in one night" night for them is in L.A....on 1/16....a sunday.
 
 let's hope.
 
 (i'm kinda upset at myself for not jumping on this sooner.)
 
 maybe we can contact them and ask nicely? or beg seth?...(not sure how that all works)

That would be very cool. I'm enjoying the CD and really wouldn't mind checking them out. I am sure it will be a good time.

"Rested"
 
 That is very funny. As if it will take a heckuva lot of energy to get up at noon and play a 40 minute show later in the evening.

everyone's sucking the arcade fires' dicks now, but where were you all when they played the black cat with unicorns last year? they're ok. i actually like the record better.
