but then you'd miss out on the garlic fries!

[James Ford]

By the looks of this video, I'd say a couple of notches below a Legwarmers show, lol.

I thought the Men Without Hats was fine... nothing to write home about (I was being a bit facetious!).. but I'd be shocked if they ever play anywhere near me again and as a kid I loved the Pop Goes the World tape...I got on the guest list and enjoyed myself.... got him to sign my record afterwards... it was hard adjusting to the fact that he looks like George Carlin and was wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt. They did about 10-11 songs I think.... Ivan sang.. two young women on each side "playing" keyboards (I think they were playing mostly) and a guy playing guitar right behind Ivan... It was a bit like watching Ivan doing karaoke actually... He did Pop Goes the World, Safety Dance and SOS (the ABBA song) as an "encore"...


Tonight I'm going to check out El Vez.. haven't seen him in maybe 15 years? I think I saw him once at the Black Cat..

[azaghal1981]

I want to see El Vez fronting The Zeros. The Zeros played Velvet a couple years back but without him because he was busy doing his thing, sadly.


I like the Savoir Adore version of "Pop Goes the World" in that Tide commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXzUHUbioOs

Just pulled a BMSR U ST ticket ($15) after seeing the low ticket warning and the convenience fee is $8.75. Lollerskates at anybody jackass enough to pay that. If there are none left by Thursday night, guess I am SOL.

i get your point, but the options are:
1) getting yourself all the way downtown from your neck of the woods (hint: it's way, way out there) to buy an advance ticket and save on convenience fees, *OR*
2) getting yourself all the way downtown from your neck of the woods the night of the show and hope you can see the show.

personally, i'd pay $8.75 to avoid those two options regardless of what face on the ticket it.

I got my BMSR ticket the day it went on sale. Every time I've seen them it has been a totally different, sometimes insane show. I love the new LP and EP. I have not yet been to U Street Music Hall and this seems like a perfect introductory show. I am super stoked honestly!

I will be at Velvet on Thursday. The show is Saturday. I plan on grabbing one Thursday night if they are still available. If I get shut out, so be it.

[hutch]

the problem is if people pay the 8.75 then next year it could be 10.50 and the year after the charges could be more than the face value of the ticket!

at some point people have to say enough or the charges will never be enough...
