Your friend is correct. It now looks like Young is skipping DC on this tour. He was probably offended by Markie's remark.

Just saw that Canyon, the best of DC's already very good music scene, is playing the Black Cat next month.

Kaito (UK) will be opening for BSP. I am currently downloading one of their songs to see what they sound like…

Here's one description from Washington Post:

Kaito - BAND RED

The music of Kaito will not soothe souls. It won't calm nerves. It will never be played at a yoga class. The four-piece band from Norwich, England, has an entirely different agenda: waking up the world with blasts of post-punk fury.

It's appropriate, then, that on "Enemyline," the first track from the band's just-released second album, lead singer Nikki Colk sounds remarkably like a devilish rooster. There's a sense of danger in the air as she screeches, "I did nothing wrong till I saw you, and it's all gone wrong, cause I like you." The startling voice is wrapped in a wall of thrashing punk guitar, electronic squalls and thundering beats created by band mates Gemma Cullingford, David Lake and Dee Quantrill.

Yet for all of Kaito's freewheeling ferocity, the songs are tethered by intricate harmonies and song structures. Songs like "Driving Manual Auto" start off with a loopy series of electronic burps before rocketing into the call-and-response chorus. Colk and Cullingford's interwoven vocals – sung and shouted – bring to mind Sleater-Kinney's accessible high-art punk. On "Think Twice" and the breathy "Nothin New," Kaito peeks into dark psychological corners that most bands don't even know exist.

The surreal, six-minute-long "3 a.m." brings the high-energy album to a doped-up, Velvet Underground conclusion. It's one of just two slow songs on the record, but the final three minutes are filled only with the ominous sound of a clock ticking. Even Kaito's quiet songs, it turns out, are disquieting.

just downloaded "Should I?" by Kaito from a link on their site. Squalling, jerky riotgrrl punk - more Sleater-Kinney than Le Tigre…it's pretty good, methinks.

Sunday 3/14

The Mekons - Iota

also, the Old 97's is not longer listed in the 9.30 club ad in the City Paper - I wonder if its sold out….

Decahedron – the band formerly known as the Black Sea (ex-Frodus; Joe Lally of Fugazi) – are palying the Warehouse on 1-31 and the Black Cat on 2-24. I think Lally has been replaced.

All you Britpoppers should definitely go see the Mekons.

Surprised that the Old 97's show hasn't sold out yet. Both Bowery Ballroom shows are sold out, as are the Dallas (last night) and Chicago (tomorrow) shows. Not sure about the other few dates.
