Godspeed You! Black Emperor ...

... are back together.



Hey Seth....

[killsaly]

Are they really big enough for the club?

Seems like a different venue would be better.

[chaz]

last time they played there if it wasn't sold out it was very close.

[Chip Chanko]

I can't recall if it was sold out when they were here in 2000.

i think they have enough "where are they now" hipster buzz to easily fill the 930.

the above message says "9 american towns".  not sure if DC would be part of those 9... it's on the bubble, but not certainly a shoe-in.  i certainly hope they come to town.  i'll definitely be catching at least one show.  joe will probably attend all nine.

i wonder if by "american" they mean USA only, or north american.  methinks montreal and toronto would have been on the itinerary, possibly vancouver too.  or maybe they're hitting the states for a cash-in nostalgia tour - get ready for $50+ tickets! </conspiracy>

pretty sure they sold out the 930 club on 3/04/03.  it hasn't been a decade off.   not sure what they are talking about.   i'm excited, but it's going to be a huge pain in the ass to get tickets, i'm sure.

i wonder if they're actually going to do west coast shows this time.

i don't think the show in 2000 was sold out.  i had a friend call me the day of asking if i wanted to go (and he went), but i couldn't because i had to work (and was already at work when he called).

Very nice.


Club show would be ideal but this would easily be worth a trip to NYC.

[Relaxer]

I don't think I've ever actually heard them
What's a good place to start?

[Vas Deferens]

i don't think they will be in the $50 range. maybe $30 max?

the shows in 2003 were still <$15.
$20-25 absolute max. calling it now.  wouldn't surprise me if they were $15-18.

it's been a decade off for the west coast people...

[Vas Deferens]

did you look up wikipedia?

[sweetcell]

nope, "lift" is my fav and IMO the most accessible/best place to start... thus the recommendation.   

yes, i'm too lazy to type out the full title.
