I'm really surprised this show isn't sold out. I knew it wasn't going to be a DCFC or B&S/TNP, but I still expected it to sell out within the first day, at least.
I think the reason it isnt sold out yet is because it hasn't really been announced anywhere. The only reason I knew about it was because I saw the performance date of April 3rd and knew that they had to be selling tickets soon. I believe the link went up on Thursday through the 930 page on tickets.com alerting a Saturday morning at 10:00 onsale date. Like a previous poster mentioned, unlike the Arctic Monkeys, no hint of this show was put into either the e-mail list or the mailing.

their songs are brilliant. Karen is an amazing performer; she puts every ounce of her being into her singing and the music.
and Nick is horribly talented…
Are you kidding us? The band is gutter trash.

It was indie hype that led to an Arctic Monkey sellout before the show was even announced.
this show was announced on the mailing list about three weeks before it sold out.

and all this YYY hate is way off the mark. "Fever to Tell" is really the only debut album to hold up well over time from all of those NYC bands.
better than say TV on the Radio? got that record thinking it was something that belonged in my DJ bag and can't honestly say i've ever listened to it more than once possibly twice…

That's okay, you were pretty measured about your comments on them, and they seemed pretty fair. Unlike Julian Porn.

I thought my commentary was spot on. The band dresses like gutter trash. Amazingly, they also sound like gutter trash.
YYYs don't have shows the two days surrounding the 9:30 Date. What are the odds that they play two nights?

No, I'm just pointing out the strange coincedence that they both look - and sound - like vile street urchins. Fever To Tell is maybe the most overhyped album of this decade.
well, i don't think it's overhyped. but you're entitled to your opinion.

however, i might not respect it in the future, if the basis of your argument is that the artists look like hobos.
I'm a hobo.

No, there are lots of artists I like that look like hobos. They just don't sound like hobos. The only people I'm really and truly predjudice against are the jews, of course.

Yes, because the "buzz" and "hype" has really flown for Billy Corgan for the last 10 years. :roll: What a ridiculous statement.
