Hey Seth

See there?  Jack White wants to play the club!  He may even need to play the club after slugging it out at VMFF. (or before…it doesn't really matter)

Maybe I need to ask Live Nation then….if Seth can't deliver.. I really think he can do anything he sets his mind to….


I thought a 930 club show would be perfect for Boards of Canada…15 year anniversary of Music Has a Right to Children .. perform the entire album live… ;D

If a band isn't touring, don't gig offers need to be much much higher? I imagine it would cost an arm and leg to book a gig for a one-off show. Think about all of the expenses that would occur as one-time, as opposed to incurring over a 30 day tour.

Hell yeah.

Hey Seth! What can be done to get more bicycle parking around the club?

Rezillos are doing US dates in November. Maybe U St??

Never mind, that's exactly where they're playing. THANKS!!

Orbital East Coast dates coming soon accorinding to their PR company. If I hear anything I'll post it.

As for Iggy, I really cannot emphasize how incredible that show was. The Stooges are pretty much the best band I've ever seen. I saw a lot of stuff this weekend too. Dropkick Murphys, Gogol Bordello, Coheed and Cambria, Elvis Costello, Jesus and Mary Chain, Alkaline Trio, etc. and Iggy killed them all. The Descendents were pretty amazing too though. Just sayin'.

Los Lobos at the club would be nice… was leaning to Colossal Head last night… some great great songs…


I can't stomach going to the Birchmere and sitting down for them…

I wonder if Iggy is doing club shows… maybe he's not and that is the reason he hasn't been booked.. I do remember the 2007 show, which was amazing, didn't exactly set the world on fire ticket wise.. I had either eat a ticket or get like $15 for it outside the club.. I was pretty shocked.. then after that they played a Virgin Fest like two years later I think and that is all she wrote for DC area.. Mike Watt will be at the Black Cat in a few weeks FYI.. one could probably ask him what the deal is but I'm sure they must be asking for quite a guarantee.

My guess is that festivals pay them a good sum. The only other gigs I'm aware of that they're doing is Austin City Limits and a show at the Staples Center with Morrissey (VERY odd combo). That being said, I'm sure that a sold out gig at the 9:30 can be worthwhile if they line up a few other East Coast dates. The Williamson Stooges never really did a proper tour though I don't think.

Colossal Head is a perfect album, my favorite Los Lobos album… I gotta say, their last gig at the Club with Taj Mahal opening was a bit boring, Taj blew them away imo.
