are they way too big for the club?

Don't you remember?

n=1.  they're headlining a big festival. doubtful that they're going to play a club afterwards.  at best they might do a warm-up show (which would be way cool!) but i wouldn't expect a club tour from them.

I highly doubt Kraftwerk's popularity status has changed much since 2005, even if they are headlining a festival. Did those two shows back in 2005 sell out?

No Florian is a bummer.

it's German & electronic

what else do you need to know

Well, "120v or 230v?" seems pretty important to know if we're talking German & electronic…

Crosses or ??? if you're Mr. cool are announcing dates that are edging close to the east coast. Hey Seth? If not 9:30 maybe U Street?

Loop and The Dead C are both playing the US this spring (Psych Fest and SXSW respectively) and both would fit well at USMH!

Pussy Riot

Beady Eye, please, if Coachella is part of a larger U.S. tour.

Throwing Muses are doing Boston and NYC in early March with Tanya Donelly opening…Seth, any chance you could work a little magic?

Placebo

the Polyphonic Spree at ANY venue other than Sixth and I

Aphex Twin (why not)

Underworld

Smashing Pumpkins (heard rumblings that the newer members were out and possibly the old members (most of them if not all) will be back)

all original pumpkins members . . . holy crap!

and double yes to polyphonic, they need to make a return to the club

and infinte yes, to THE KNIFE

Like I said, just rumors now about the Pumpkins… (and my friend only mentioned what was going on with new members, and Jimmy and James… not sure how D'Arcy fits in it).

As for the Spree, yes.  The club show in 2007 is one of my favorite live music experiences from one of my top five all time favorite bands.  The show at Sixth and I (first one)?  I was underwhelmed to say the least, and even skipped the next time they played that venue.  Sixth and I was GREAT to see Rachel Maddow talk, not so much for rock shows (in my opinion,  I know plenty of people love the venue).

I loved their first show at the 6th & I.  I like it so much  better than the 930 club.  I love it for rock shows. I wish every show I liked was there.

no you didnt.  you didnt like it all.  so there.

I find the original 4 SP members getting back together to be about a 0.00000001% possibility. Jimmy could come back, that I'd list as probable at some point. Billy continues to make derogatory comments about James and D'arcy and that relationship is frosty as ever. D'arcy's only public contact with anyone in the last decade was to call a radio station clearly on drugs and get arrested for DUIs.

A quick scan of SP messageboard has no one alleging any reunion. Where are you getting this from?

Jeff gave an interview yesterday where he said he's still in the band and everyone was resting up from the massive overseas touring in 2013. The drummer kid is doing lessons via skype.

that surprize show they did at the club years back, supporting zeitgeist . . . still sticks out as one of their best ive seen.

I was at that show.  I think I have a little flag that they handed out if I am not mistaken.
