Roll Call: Exit Clov/De Novo Dahl/Middle Distance Runner

[Bags]

I know a lot of folks are going to the Dears @ 9:30.  Anyone going to be at the Black Cat on Saturday?

[vansmack]

That reminds me, I picked up a $1.99 Exit Clov EP out of the clearance bin last weekend at Amoeba.

I'm in for trying to both MDR & DND then hitting the Dears who should be on late enough to catch most of their set.  
 
 The Dears record by the way just earned the top spot for 2006 since I finally got around to hearing it...

[Bombay Chutney]

90% sure I'll be there.  It's rare that I want to see all 3 bands.

[amnesiac]

I'll be at the Black Cat. Might go to 9:30 first to see Annuals...

The Clov chicks are much cuter than the black Morrissey.

[kosmo vinyl]

Actually he sounds more like a black Damon Albarn these days...

[redsock]

As usual, i will be manning the merch table for the Clov, so feel free to stop by and say hi, even if you are leaving before their set (blatantly looks at Kosmo).
 
 Does a $1.99 clearance box have to be a bad thing? Eh, at least you bought it.

I meant it as a compliment.  Without a distributor, to get a CD 3000 miles across the country in a retail outlet is quite the accomplishment.  There were two actually....

[Tom Servo]

I should be there.  Typical January drought, so this will be my first show of 2007.  
 
 Good lineup, and I look forward to seeing the new De Novo Dahl and Exit Clov for the first time.  On the other hand, I've never heard the Dears and they seem to have a lot of fans here.  Perhaps the Kosmo approach...

[you be betty]

ah, another reason why Amoeba kicks the shit out of everything else in this world.

myself and boy will be at the black cat for all 3 bands. have missed just about every single time any of the 3 have played here, which has probably been about 50 times combined at this point!
 
 very much looking forward to it. curious about a smoke free black cat-probably still come out of there smelling somewhat like smoke. no chance in hell they can get that smell out after all these years! but will be an improvement.
 
 sell out show? we never got tickets ahead of time.

[lily1]

redsock, since you're "with the band" per say, do you set times for tommorow night? i'm thinking 10,11,12, over around 1 am? yes? no? ealrier? later?

[redsock]

yeah, for a weekend show at the Cat, that sounds about right. I too am looking forward to a smokeless Cat. I think this is one of the first main stage shows this year. I doubt that it will sell out, and if it somehow did, it wouldn't be till tomorrow night.

Well, their label is distributed nationally, but being a small band from DC, and this being an EP, it is still hard to get it out to certain places. I know the Amoeba in LA had some copies, at least when it first came out.
