This week rollcall

[killsaly]

is Spectrum with a band? anyone know?
if just him, then forget it.

Spectrum/SVI - Thursday

I looked around and couldnt find out either way.  The Velvet show is the first of the tour, so maybe you could catch the Baltimore show on Friday if one of us reports back that he did or didnt have a band in tow at the Velvet show on Thursday.

Will be coming up for PiL. Anyone else going, you're in for a real treat. Their Coachella set was spectacular.

If you see a dude in blue jeans with a dark t-shirt on with curly hair, be sure to say hello!

Had to move up ticket purchase for Buzzcocks.. show is apparently close to selling out..

[HoyaSaxa03]

going to Caribou tonight, should be fun

this was an OK show, caribou's music is so diverse that it's hard to have a really cohesive set.  i wish they would have stuck to the newer electronic stuff, the psych-rock stuff didn't really connect for me.

toro y moi showed flashes of something, but still needs some work with the full band set-up ... i think he would have been better with just him and a synthesizer

the sound was also horrible for the opener, top levels clicking and crackling the whole time, sounded like a speaker was blown ... no such problems for caribou, so i'm guessing it had something to do with toro's equipment

According to the Super Furry Animals fan group I'm a part of, Guto Pryce is playing bass on this US tour, so I imagine that means there will be a full band.

On that note, anyone know how strict the Velvet Lounge is about the 21+ age limit? I'm a few months short of 21, but I want to check this show out. Should I even bother trying?

[killsaly]

Ive only been to Velvet 4 or 5 times, and they checked ID at the door everytime.

Well done.  I'm pretty surprised that the PiL show didn't sell out long ago.  I guess Johnny over-estimated the need for their return (or should I say their return without Levine & Wobble).

[Lazer Guided Melodies]

Guto is indeed playing bass.  Here is a review of a recent Paris show http://www.urbanlandfill.co.uk/2010/03/spectrum-point-eph%C3%A9m%C3%A8re-paris-march-26th-2010.html

And eddie says it looks like tickets will be available at the door, so it's not even that close to selling out.   Showtime at 9:00.  Tempted to take Metro.   Although I wouldn't put it past Lydon to start really late.  hmmm....

I guess Johnny over-estimated the need for their return (or should I say their return without Levine & Wobble).

at that price, yeah.  i know of a few folks that seriously considered going when the show was first announced but the $45 price tag puts a serious damper on their enthusiasm.

You spurn my natural emotions.
You make me feel like dirt.
And I'm hurt.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

You spurn my natural emotions.
You make me feel like dirt.
And I'm hurt.

Here ya go, Smackie, I haiku'd that for you:

Make me feel like dirt
Natural emotions spurned
By you; I am hurt
