Why are DMBQ still touring? China is irreplaceable. I'm sorry.

Definitely irreplaceable, she was incredible at the DC9 show. But clearly the new guy brings the show biz.

This is so odd to me. Am I dramatically overestimating what BSS draws now?

Toad's Place is a 1500 person venue, so it's not crazy, but State Theatre is small.

I think the fact they've announced only 7 people will be on the tour (none of the females), and they're playing in support of Canning's solo album as opposed to a BSS-greatest hits set limits the draw of this particular tour.

I wondered about this too…But, State holds about 850? What's crazy is the venue appears to be primarily a cover band venue.

Considering that BSS is basically a glorified jam band, the State Theatre makes a lot of sense.

Did they sell out the club when they toured for the Kevin Drew album?


APTBS is the no-brainer that night anyway. :D

Snailhook, bring them down for the 611 farewell show?


May as well go out in style by destroying the place.

Back on the topic of the Growing/Hot Chip thing, for those of you who aren't familiar with Growing:

Now you can see why this pairing makes zero sense.

i saw growing open for mogwai something like six times? maybe it was five, their van broke down on the way to one of the shows. i don't see what there is to really see.

Ooh, good to know, I was considering this but now, maybe not so much.

Also noticed a couple of DC9 shows that I didn't hear about in this thread:
Does it Offend You, Yeah? 9/5
Basia Bulat 9/17 (I liked her when she opened for DeVotchKa)

There's like 4-5 shows worth checking out that night. That's pretty unheard of in dc on a wednesday.

Velvet Lounge:

Sunday 08.17.08 Insect Factory, Mind Over Matter Music Over Mind, Projection:Zero (improv sax/guitar duo), Dan Friel (solo electronics, of Parts & Labor)


Still yet to see Insect Factory.


The Dan Friel album is really good but I don't know how well it'll translate to a live setting.
