FYI, Two Gallants are actually opening this show for Les Claypool.

Ah, I see. I didn't get that from the Ram's Head site, but rather from the Saddle Creek newsletter, which didn't mention that they were an opener. Thanks.

And since you inspired me to take a look at the Ram's Head calendar, here are a few shows I don't think have been mentioned (forgive me if I'm wrong).

Porcupine Tree
Tuesday, May 22
Ram's Head Live

Cowboy Mouth w/ Eli Cook
Saturday, June 23
Ram's Head Live

George Thorogood
Friday, August 24
Ram's Head Live

Also, I just found out that Candlebox are touring again this summer. Looks like they're skipping over DC and Baltimore though. However, there is this date, which suits me just fine.

Candlebox
Chameleon Club
July 14

It should also be noted that Built to Spill will be at the Chameleon on July 3. I very well may be attending both that show and the July 8 show at the club.

Candlebox?

brilliant or bust, for a show?
i loved them in the day, but not sure if a live show by them will hold up.

the new cd 'mythmaker' is pretty damn good. Ill be there.

From a mailing list I get:

*Club trashing troublemakers THE HORRORS have bailed from the BRMC tour in favor of a headlining tour of their own*

I think that was a mistake on their part. As I'm sure The National will agree, you can get a lot of new fans if you open a bigger tour…

I don't think I've seen this listed yet:

Richard Thompson Band
9:30, June 22

yip!

Does anyone happen to know if he tends to sell the club out? This is the first time he's played there since I've lived here.

Last time I saw him at the club it was a sell-out or very close to it. That's a Friday night also, so I would guess it will sell well.

Yeah, that is just D-U-M. And judging by their 20-minute set at the RnR Hotel a few months ago, they don't quite have what it takes to headline on their own. A BMRC opening slot would've been a great way to ease into the US.

MON JULY 23- THE PONYS, JAY REATARD $10 backstage 9:00

poor ponys, relegated to the backstage only a few months after headlining the mainstage. fine by me, their backstage show back in 2005 was the best of the three times they've played at the black cat.

Tons of free shows in NYC:

Sometimes, when you have (and support) a reputation that you're a club trashing band, you pretend like you're leaving a tour when you've actually been asked to leave a tour.

For the record, I know nothing about the band, but that was my first thought.

the club's stage isn't that big… how are they going to fit all the members of the spree on stage? maybe they'll be playing with a smaller band (ex: less singers in the choir)? have they played the club before?

yes, they did … it was blah

Yeah. The Polyphonic Spree and the TRachtenburg Family Slideshow Players did a gig at 9:30 a few years back. It was one of the more….um…."unique"….shows. The P-Spree all fit on the club's stage. They put the choir on risers.

Wow - That is surprising. They drew a decent crowd on the mainstage and put on a great show.

I loved their last 9:30 show. I was there with a couple people who never go to concerts, and we are all.. in the right state of mind. I thought it was great. But I kind of figured the Spree were done as a band, so I'm not rushing to get tix to this one.
