Only slightly biased, but I think you should go to the Twilight Singers show. If you missed them at the Black Cat in November, definitely catch them now before Greg decides to hibernate for another year or so to work on his other 1,000 projects.

two VERY good arguments
 
 
 Samantha is hot
 
 Dulli plays 20 songs.
 
 well, no Debonair?  hmmm, i would be extremely disappointed.
 
 looks like a gametime decision. I will be seeing BRMC/Rapture at Coachella.

I will be at BMRC/the Rapture.  The BMRC site bills this as the Revolver Tour as both bands will be alternately headlining.  Since tonight is the first night of the tour, there's no real way to tell who plays when.
 
 I'm glad hurricane season is over (unless you live in Brazil).

I saw The Rapture like a month ago.  His constant screaming into the mic gets VERY annoying, though  the bass lines and the rythms are sick.  Danceable, but you will get a headache.
 
 I've seen BRMC many times and usually enjoy them.
 
 I vote for the Twilight Singers, but only because I haven't seen them.

I wouldn't miss a BRMC show for anything.  I bought my tickets a month ago and spend all my free time staring longingly at them.  I couldn't care less about the Rapture.  heard some from them, and thought the singer sounded like Robert Smith, but was otherwise boring, so I might just leave early if they're headlining.

lucky tickets....

[sonickteam2]

well, i still havent decided.  I am leaning toward Twilight Singers, but Recher sounds much better than Fletchers, and its a better place to see a show. but Greg Dulli is the man.  I suppose my girlfriend is going to get to decide in the end, and the Twilight Singers we will go.   :p

I'm going to the brmc show....if they're splitting the headlining, I hope brmc is first cause I might bail on the rapture lol

[sonickteam2]

Ok.  we have decided to go to the BRMC/Rapture show tonight. I hope its nice!

[Bags]

Oops -- for anyone but Sonick!  The Twilight Singers show info:
 
 "Doors are 8:00 and the show will probably kick off at 9:00 or so."

Am I the only fan of the Rapture who will be at the Recher tonight?

[walkman]

I think the Rapture are a great band - especially on record - but the live show has been weak.  BRMC, on the other hand, are even better live.  Definitely worth seeing if they're just half as good as they were during the hurricaine show.

[stu47]

just general impressions.....I was blown away by BRMC, great live show....the rapture, while being better than I thought, still left something to be desired....
