Sat 03/20/04 Franz Ferdinand w/ The Tyde The Independent
 
 
 Oh, how many diseased corpses would I trample to go to that show?

[lily1]

when will franz ferdinand come east to dc?

[Bags]

Wow, smack.  That's some good stuff (and Rhett wonders how we can have a list of 20 - 30 "to see" shows, not that I make them all, but they're on the 'interested' list).
 
 Sat 04/10/04 The Juliana Theory Slim's
 
 As a heads up, expect the Britney crowd.  I have a friend who's a fan and gave me one or two albums (I had no idea what their deal was), so I went to see them with her at 9:30.  Wow, we may have been two of the ten folks at the show (of only about 100-150, by the way) who could buy a drink legally.  They were okay, but kind of cheezy.  As it's a Sat night, not sure you want to use it for them.  But, it could be fun, what the hell.
 
 Sat 03/20/04 Fishbone The Independent
 Sat 03/20/04 Franz Ferdinand w/ The Tyde The Independent
 
 So does this means all three are playing?  If that's the case, mother of god -- how much fun!!?!!
 
 Wed 04/07/04 Raveonettes Bottom Of The Hill
 
 I found their show really boring.  Maybe they've gotten better; I saw them when just the EP was out.  Won't catch them when they come through DC...

[Bags]

Alas, Lily, that show is in San Francisco.
 
 But shouldn't they come through here eventually??!!?

I purposely left the 4 times the Old 97's are playing here off the list to see if Rhett would double check my "math".

 My bad.  The Franz show w/ the Tyde is at Slims.  Fishbone is at the Independent.

My only other option is to see them open for the Strokes a week later so I thought I would check the warm-up show with just them.  We'll see.

Thanks for your offer, Lily.  Smackette loves the Frames.  She has taken all of my CD's.  I just recently picked up "Setlist" (the live Dublin CD) and I haven't even had a chance to listen to it because she's had since we got home from Ameoba.  We won't be missing that show.
 
 I think Damien Rice is available on Napster so I'll download it and check it out.
