Hey Seth

Postal Service will get something like the Patriot Center I bet. Or maybe DAR. But no club dates. If they're playing Barclays in Brooklyn, I think it's safe to say they can sell a good 5,000 tickets in DC. I still say we need a 5,000 capacity venue that's in the city. Patriot Center would be an awful venue for this show. Too bad there aren't any large-size old ballrooms in DC that could be rehabbed.

Seth, have you ever looked into the old Washington Coliseum? Or is that just a lost cause?

Really they are that big?  I wouldn't see them at patriot center.  Warner Theater exists which I would think is the type of place you are mentioning.  Tower Theater in Philly is a great place to see a show.   I think the Lyric would work. 2500 capacity.

1,000,000 copies of their LP sold…they haven't toured in 10 years. Let the hipsters relive sophmore year of 2005. Stick a decent band on the bill and you've got hipster heaven. Yeah, tickets will sell.

I had no idea they sold that many albums.  I thought it was just a small side project.  I liked it a lot but it doesn't seem like it would be a super big album…

For a while Postal Service was bigger than Death Cab for Cutie.

Thanks for booking Johnny Marr!

hey seth

Killing Joke is touring the east coast this spring, the last time they were supposed to come around the show at BC got canceled cuz of visa issues. any chance you could bring them to the club?

Blur and New Order. Do it. Do it.

I'd think Blur with Graham plays MPP. Without Graham, DAR.
New Order with Hook plays MPP, without, DAR.
Kinda pulling that outta my aaaaaaaaaaa

hey seth you rule!

I would love to see Blur at 930 (they played 930 the "Think Tank" tour) but i'm guessing MPP or Patriot Center is a better fit. Gorillaz played Patriot Center last time around.

I saw New Order at Roseland Ballroom in New York in October which has occupancy of 3500. DAR would be the closest to that, I think.

Hey Seth, thanks for PS…I wasn't worried. ;P Fun show for MPP, but I'll catch 'em at the club hopefully one day for a smaller show (and I can't get to MPP easily). Thanks much for all you/the club do!

Funny to see that Blur has become such a hot commodity. Saw them at the Black Cat twice, Capitol Ballroom, 9:30 Club…I'm not sure I've ever seen them in the U.S. performing to more than 1500 people. I'm not sure I'd bother if they played the Patriot Center. I still fondly remember the first time I saw them in 1993 with Pulp. Terrific show.

The only time I saw Blur was at max's on broadway in 1992.  April 26 1992 is the exact date according to SetList.fm.  I don't want to see them at patriot center either but they have put out some good music since then.  . 

Batillus?

Thanks for The Hives show last night.  A good time was had by all.  However, that sure is a lot of stairs to climb with my broken down knees to have a place to sit (it was still worth the effort).

Would you like seats in front of the stage, grandpa?

Its kind of sad but it is almost getting to that.  56 years old and lets see, three surgeries on each knee, four surgeries on my back, two on my right arm, three abdominal surgeries, one crainiotomy, two cranial gamma treatments, multiple eye surgeries (none cosmetic), several broken bones over the years, plus all the normal childhood things.  The freakiest for me was when they had to do the steroid injections into my eyeball for bleeding around the optic nerve.  Nothing like a hypodermic needle aimed at your eyeball to get you a little nervous.  BTW I trust you had a good time at the show as well?

Did you play professional football or something?  Or are you a member of a fight club?

I also find it ironic that you are against free medical care and I am for it.  Probably should be the other way around.

Exactly.  Was just about to buy a pair of tickets for will call until I saw $16 in charges.  That's absurd.
