Architecture in Helsinki Rollcall

[HoyaSaxa03]

OK, i didn't really see a need to go see Bloc Party again (especially when tix went on sale like the day after their last show), but i just noticed that Architecture in Helsinki will be at DC9 on Thursday
 
 anyone else going or have seen them before?  it's been a while since i've been to see a band i've never heard before, and i've read really good things about them, seems like a good one to pick

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Make sure you see the opener Dr. Dog.

I am dying to go. Have tickets to two different shows that night and am under doctor's orders not to go out (pnuemonia) but I am going to try to see this show.

arrrrrgh, just saw that Bettie Serveert is at black cat ... where have i been??
 
 this is a tough choice: i really like early bettie serveert stuff, but i'm afraid they'll play a bunch of stuff from newer albums that i don't know well ... maybe i'll go out on a limb and go to DC9

what time do you think they will go on? they are the 3rd band playing that night.

[SalParadise]

i might try and catch dr. dog before heading over to 930.

[HoyaSaxa03]

it's been a while since i've been to dc9 on a weekday ... anyone have ideas on times for the sets?

[amnesiac]

It would be great if I could catch some of their set after Bloc Party. There was a Baltimore date scheduled before, but I don't think that will be happening anymore

The architecture in Helsinki is nothing very special.  The art-deco train station is the main highlight.

 Dulles airport is better.

I will be there, quite excited for this one. First band at DC9 usually goes on by 930 on a weeknight.

I'm really really mad this and Bloc Party fall on the same night. Already bought ticks to Bloc Party by the time i heard about this. FUCK.

[amnesiac]

I'm guessing Bloc Party should be done by 11:15. Anyone know what time AIH will be playing?

[megs]

it's a cruel thing indeed to have both shows on the same night. my best friend bought me a bloc party ticket for my birthday, but darn it if i don't also want to see aih. they're neato.

Bettie Serveert plays at Iota. A lot. (I'm guessing at least three times in the last 2 years.) I'd go with AIH on this one.
