Postponed due to drummer injury (?!)

What a pisser, I was looking forward to it.

I saw that today. Bummer indeed.

Snail Mail tonight.

i don't want to alarm you, but my buddy saw her a couple of weeks ago in salt lake, and said it kind of sucked. she had two openers (you don't need two openers, let alone one), and with the curfew, snail mail's set seemed super rushed, and there was not a lot of interaction with the crowd.

hopefully it's different for you guys. let us know how it goes.

thanks. yeah, we saw her a few years ago at a festival in Norman. this was pre-Valentine, and she was mostly playing stuff from the EP she had. it was good though.

as for the two openers, we saw Water From Your Eyes open for Spoon/Interpol last year. they were okay. definitely an art rock thing, something i can handle only once in a while.

doors for this open at...i think...6:30, and she's been going on around 9/9:30. i'm too old to wait through two openers, so we'll likely head to the venue just before it's time for her to go on.

i was shocked on how weird her set at Coachella was.

Just snapped up tickets to see Goose on their first UK tour. Watching them in a 400 capacity venue. Is that a step down from what they usually play - feels like they could be playing bigger venues based on the buzz from the States.

I saw them in the US in March - venue sits 1800. They could easily fill an arena but have continued playing theaters. Enjoy the show, if not the, among the best shows I have seen.

we opted to sit this one out. i gave away our tix.

probably for the best

Anybody going to billy strings in wilkes barre?

I’ll see how prices look but I’m pretty sure I’m gonna go for Aerosmith tix.

Never seen them before and not dying to see them, but Black Crowes as opener has me interested.

I didn’t get the best seats in the house or anything, but only came out to $137 a pop.

It could be worse.

I am more bummed I got nothing going on until September still. The live albums will just have to do for the moment.

Crowded House was solid last night.
