Azaghal, I'll be there but Stars Of The Lid are only an extra treat for me. My puprose is to see the 1st opener, Hammock, who never, ever play out live. This appears to be a one off and only their 2nd live show to date (that I am aware of). Make sure you get there in time to see them. My Gaze friends are all jealous of us for this one.       :p  
 
 For the record, Hammock aren't really a Shoegaze band but they have enough delay to make them what I call Shoegaze friendly.

I've heard a decent amount from Hammock and am excited to see them too. Christopher Willits should be a treat as well. Solid lineup all around.

Are the teenagers worth checking out? I've heard good things.

Honestly, I'm not the best person to answer this as I've only heard a song or two. We had a song of theirs in rotation since the station made its debut on Air Atlantic Underground Radio but I think that was just recently removed to make room for some other music. May reload it if the listeners request that I do so.
 
 My impression is that they are okay and wouldn't mind seeing them but not a priorty on my list. Should appeal to a lot of the Indie hipsters on the forum. Actually, I considered going myself and may end up doing so if the situation presents itself but the odds are highly against that. Too many work obligations.

They're horrible. BUT, I love their remix they did for Goldfrapp's "Happiness".

The Teenagers are fun and dancey. I love the lead singer and he tends to jump into the crowd and dance with most the women up front (as i recall almost no men being that close to the stage).
 
 but my friends and i all decided early on that he really cant sing and they sounded really bad. but the music is addicting regardless of how cheesy it is.
 
 that being said - i am seeing them at maxwells for a second time. i really cant imagine them playing somewhere like the bowery - so im opting for a smaller show.
