I saw him that night, it was a surprise for me, giving the fact that he was able to deliver the same amount of intensity of RATM or Audioslave, but without the power of his electric guitar...catchy songs with a message, totally recommended

morello's nightwatchman set at coachella last year was one of my festival highlights.  his passion is contagious.  highly recommended.  i'll definitely be at this show.

Wow - Blitzen Trapper/Fleet Foxes sold out the Backstage at the Black Cat.  Not exactly a huge room, but they sold out early enough for them to post it on the website.  That doesn't happen often.
 
 Jens Lekman is also sold out.

Yeah, stupid me for not getting tix in advance (I actually thought about buying this afternoon online). It's Fleet Foxes that sold out the venue, not Blitzen Trapper. So, I got to the venue with the big sign that it's sold out...
 
 But, I ended up catching New Zealand's Die! Die! Die! at DC9! And, they actually turned out to be very good.
 
 Check them out:

 Xiu Xiu is also sold out. Glad I got a ticket for that...

Really? I've been seeing lots of press for Blitzen Trapper. Never heard of Fleet Foxes.

First, an 8.7 from pitchfork:

 Being signed to Sub Pop:

 And lots of great reviews of their live shows at SXSW...
 
 I'd say the show sold out because of the two on the same bill

I'm not surprised Jens sold out this time round. I was considering going, but since I saw him just last October (was it?) it's not going to break my heart to miss him this go 'round.

Fleet Foxes do indeed put on a great live show.
 Good thing I grabbed my ticket at about 8:15 before the crowd got there.
 
 
 Room was packed to the gills for them but the crowd slowly thinned out as Blitzen Trapper's set progressed. I'm a sucker for tight vocal harmonies and FF more than delivered in that regard.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Sure, but will they ever headline the Super Bowl halftime show?

The debut is kind of out.  
 
 
 Someone up front after a song from the LP was played: "I know that song!"
 One of the guys in the band: "yeah? Did you download the album?"
 fan: "maybe"
 ff member: "good because I condone it. The artwork is nice if you want to buy it on june 3rd."

Buzzkill...Malkmus sold out  
 
 Anyone have an extra?  It'd be a great My Birthday Eve act of kindness!

I'm surprised it took this long.

[nkotb]

Yeah, it's totally my fault.  I have a gift certificate that I've been meaning to use, but I've been completely sleeping on getting into the city.
 
 I'm not too worried though. I'm sure some nice boardie will help out
