Do the tickets for the Strokes/BRMC go on sale Friday or Saturday? I have seen both listed.
Originally posted by saco:the tour "promises to be Air's most intimate to date, with a brand new lighting set and Nicolas and JB positioned up close and personal. Fans can expect to hear songs from the entire Air catalog with vocals performed exclusively by the band." !!

Originally posted by saco:Cool article. I was already planning to go to both shows, and it's nice to know they'll play stuff from their whole catalogue. I had a friend tell me they never play anything off Virgin Suicides. Anyone know who's opening?

i like the strokes…but not $25+ charges like them. at least not with all of the other good shows coming
right now i'm really regretting not braving the hurricane for the brmc show :(
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:Ditto…one of my bosses did, and he said it was just excellent. And he's kind of a curmudgeon, so I think that's high praise.

Seems like a reasonable price for three hipster bands with such a buzz.

yes the BRMC hurricaine show was probably my favo(u)rite of 2003…but the weather really made it an unsually special night, in my opinion.
not sure the strokes are worth it, and the rapture were sloppy fucks the last time I saw them…but the album's good. either way, nation sucks for rock bands.

Yeah, I'm not feeling too much excitement for The Strokes and The Rapture right now. (The Rapture have disappointed me TWICE.) If there was one other band that I wanted to see besides BRMC, I might make the trip to Nation. But as it stands now, I will give it a miss.
That hurricane show was certainly one of the best of 2003…

screw the strokes, if brmc could just swing on by the 930 club and do another show since i missed out because of metro's stupid decision to shut down the metro. bastards.

SAT MAR 27- GOGOL BORDELLO $10 mainstage 9:30 Black Cat
Saw these guys at Bumbershoot. Sort of an Eastern European version of the Pogues
from amg:
Combining elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brecht-ian cabaret, Gogol Bordello tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene Hütz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the Birthday Party and Einstürzande Neubauten in his native Ukraine. After being evacuated to Western Ukraine in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster, Hütz became enamored of the mystical, outsider qualities of gypsy music. Living as a refugee in Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Italy before moving to the United States in 1993, he experienced life as an outsider himself. After arriving in New York, he teamed up with guitarist Vlad Solofar and squeezebox player Sasha Kazatchkoff. American Eliot Fergusen added a strong rock sound on the drums and the band was also augmented by Sergei Riabtsev on fiddle, a former theater director from Moscow whose past experience would prove helpful in the future in crafting Gogol Bordello's bizarre stage shows (like one which tells the story of super-powered immigrant Ukrainian vampires).
The group's early gigs involved playing straight gypsy music at Russian weddings, but their music soon evolved into the hyper-kinetic explosions that earned them a solid following amongst New York's downtown hipsters. The band issued a single in 1999 entitled When the Trickster Comes a Pokin', quickly followed by their debut full-length, Voi-La Intruder, which was produced by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' drummer Jim Sclavunos. Solofar and Kazatchkoff were replaced by accordionist Yuri Lemeshev, who hails from the Russian island of Sakhalin, and two Israelis, guitarist Oren Kaplan and saxophonist Ori Kaplan, who despite their similar names were not related. Hütz helped bolster the band's popularity by becoming somewhat of a celebrity in the downtown scene, in part fueled by his Thursday night DJ gigs at Bulgarian club/restaurant/bar Mehanata, where he played Ukrainian, Gypsy, raï, and flamenco music for a crowd of artists, models, Ukrainians, Russians, Gypsies, and Bulgarians with tendencies toward exuberant dancing and smashing plates. In the spring of 2002, Gogol Bordello embarked on a European tour and performed as part of the Whitney Biennial, bringing their music to a whole new audience.
