Devotchka or Los Campesinos Fri?
« on: May 15, 2008, 02:08:00 pm »
My feeling is that Devotchka's acoustic sound will carry better live than Los Campesino's studio sound.
 
 Opinions on these two conflicting shows??

I've heard nothing but positive reviews of Devotchka's show. Looking forward to it.

Go see Devotchka. I wasn't really familiar with most of their material, but it was really great with a full string quartet for alot of the songs.
 
 The opene Basia Bulat was pretty enjoyable too.

We're headed to the show to see Basia Bulat. I saw her earlier this year at Jammin Java and again at SXSW. A truly impressive set of pipes.

Do stay for Devotchka. I'm sure they'll blow your folkie lightweight off the stage.

What's the likelihood of Los Campesinos! selling out the Cat?  I'm terrible at predicting these things.  I have no idea where they are on the hipster scale.  Safe to buy tickets at the door?

I would guess they're pretty high on the hipster scale, but I would also guess these two bands are cutting into each others' ticket sales for tonight.
 
 If my anniversary wasn't tomorrow, I'd definitely go to Devotchka. And if Devotchka wasn't playing, I'd consider going to LC.

I've decided to see Devotchka but I know a bunch of peeps going to Los Campesinos.  Either will be a great show.

it's probably too late to ask, but is Devotchka going to sell out before doors open tonight?

oh, thank you so much honey!  my sister and her friends are going...she said I could hang out with them, but I have a feeling I'm going to be spending most of the night alone, if anyone wants to meet up.
