Good news/Bad news

Good news: Andrew WK at the Thunderdome in Baltimore next Thursday, the 13th

Bad news: He's opening for Hoobastank.

Good news: Adam Franklin of Swervedriver in Baltimore at The Ottobar on Thursday Nov. 13th.

Bad news: …..there is none.

They have on the listserver from the Ottobar/Mission Media:
Thursday November 13th
Swervedriver
The Roy Owens Jr. (ex Magnapop & Crooked Fingers)
and Equus

as opposed to the Ottobar site with the "Adam Franklin from" added. Could see some people quite pissed going to that show.

Yeah, the Velvet Lounge did the same dumb thing on their Free Beer email in the upcoming shows section. In The Ottobar's defense, they did specify in all of their other listings I've seen forever that it was Adam Franklin of Swervedriver. I think the Velvet Lounge has the distiction on their site but not everyone will check there. At least it's a full band rather than the acoustic version from his past.

Are you planning on going? If so, which venue?

good news………..nkotbie is posting with some regularity now and he's awfully purty……….

bad news………….can't think of any…….

good news: The High Strung at the Mojo 11/16

bad news: I'll be in Paris (which is also good news)

nkotbie posting and the high strung in b'town………..
can life get any better i ask you?

ooh ooh i know……………
nkotbie wanna see a show in baltimore……….hehehehehehe

Awesome…is that sunday? I hope it's Sunday, that's the only day I'd make it b'more.

Question, what time will the band likely play at Ottobar on a Sunday? In other words, are they more like 9:30 Club (about 9:30-10), Black Cat (10-11) or Velvet Lounge (11-12:15, which is insane!)

Thanks boardies!

Looks like Lulu's good news is Markie's bad news.

The 16th is a Sunday, which also means that The Mojo may have $2 pints of Guinness!!! <img src="http://smilies.networkessence.net/s/otn/party/beerchug.gif" alt=" - " />

Possibly. Hope so. Depends on a couple variables.

Don't remember but probably about 10:00. One thing you may not be aware of, Baltimore has a 2:00AM liquor license, so everone must be out by then. To be honest, the only place that I know of that is generally right on target with their set times is the 9:30 Club. Everyone else is generally much looser.

YEAH, KOSMO! I would have thought this would definitely have been my chance…

Anyone going to Guided by Voices on Monday? I have a friend visiting Baltimore from Seattle, so I might force myself. I know, I know, it's GBV, I shouldn't have to force myself, but I have Duran Duran *and* the Wrens on Sunday, Lyle Lovett on Tuesday, a play and maybe Swervedriver on Thursday, then back to B'more sunday for High Strung.

I know you can never be sure, but I've found certain venues have general rules based on night of the week and how many opening bands there are. Thanks, Jag.

Bags, Swervedriver is Wednesday at the Velvet and Thursday at The Ottobar. ;)

The two times I have been to the Ottobar in recent weeks, including last night to see The Supersuckers(!) the headliner started around midnight. Both times they were pretty close to their posted set times.

Not sure. Last time I saw Swervedriver (opening for Hum at the 9:30) they were horrid. They only played slow meandering songs, none of the faster rocking ones. Will Adam play any Swervedriver stuff or will it be all his material.

He can't be using his Fender Jazzmaster that he always had because he sold it on e-bay a bit back.
