Just Announced

No doubt the Sam Cooke thing will be more of a travesty than a tribute.

also. FYI.
"Following in the tradition of previous EPs Colin Meloy Sings Shirley Collins and Colin Meloy Sings Morrisey, Colin will be selling an EP only available on this run: Colin Meloy Sings Sam Cooke, a collection of five Cooke songs, intimately arranged and performed by Coliln, with Laura Gibson singing harmonies throughout."

Un yeah, right. Are you nuts? You'd pay $35 or whatever for a 45 minute opening set by Okkervil River?

Seeing as they're one of my favorite bands, yes (to the latter; maybe to the former).

And a 9:30 show I'm sure would be much more enjoyable than that overcrowded R&R show. Not to mention the far superior sound…

Not sure if this is out there already:

Looks like tickets are $28 if anyone is interested. I'm gonna try and wait and avoid fees. I guess if you sell the EP afterwards it more than pays for itself.

Nada Surf support changed – now The Jealous Girlfriends will be opening for the 4/12 show at the club.

with Kaki King, according to the Nada Surf website.

Well that stinks. I wanted to see What Made Milwaukee Famous. Instead, WMMF is now opening for some band called Louis XIV at RNR Hotel.

You can still go see WMMF - the Louis XIV show is March 13th, not the same night as the Nada Surf show.

Yes, but I have no interest in Louis XIV. Guess I'll wait until WMMF gets a headlining gig.

Any idea as to how he was last year? I had a ticket but opted for battles at the last minute.

You mean Black Cat Backstage, right? I was planning on going to that show and it fell through at the last minute. Glad it was good though.

Hope you got your ticket. Presale is sold out now…

I didnt know he was still alive

I just think it's funny that's he's washed up and playing IOTA…he's only like 25

I read a bulletin from the guy opening for him and it provided a link to purchase tickets via Howie's site ahead of time. Since when does IOTA pre-sale?

yah, i must have typed that since last time Kevin was at the Rock and Roll Hotel. Jealous Girlfriends and Kevin Devine were both great. The lead singer of Mae was awful though.
