Jens Lekman -- 9:30 sellout?

Starting a new thread, as the discussion's overtaken "Just Announced."

Just listened to four songs on MySpace. Hmmm…very sweet. I can see the Magnetic Fields comparison. I haven't listened to MF much, either.
Well he hasn't sold out the Cat, yet.
He's playing the Black Cat and might sell it out, too. I got my ticket already. You might like him in concert.

I believe this is his first time in DC. Check out the first two albums! Do you have emusic? Can I invite you so I can get free downloads? :)
still not a black cat sellout
Any ideas what time Jens will take the stage on Thurs if there is someone else playing the closing set??
I think that closing set is a dj set. Not sure if this still means they'll still have the same 8:30/9:30/10:30 set times or if it'll be pushed back a bit since Jens is still the headliner.
Yeah they'll definitely have to push things back.


My guess: 8:45/10/11:30
Wish there was a way to know for sure. May be coming in from out of town….
i'd say Jens will be on stage on or shortly before 10 pm.
I guess this has turned into a roll call, huh? I'll be there.
i'll be there. possibly a little late… not sure, but my kickball championships are that night too.

Has anyone seen Jens live? I'm already seeing Spoon this week and I'm wondering if I'll be missing a great show if I pass on Jens. Kind of tired- saw Of Montreal and Gogol Bordello last week. Thanks!
this person has

he's probably even more handsome in person.

I saw him at the Pitchfork Festival in '06, he had an all girl band (which I don't think he's bringing on this tour) and was pretty good. I think he'll probably be better in a smaller place like the Black Cat. It'll certainly be less of a spectacle than Of Montreal or Gogol Bordello, but he doesn't hit these shores as often.
i'm probably looking forward to this show more than anything since the Shins @ black cat in '03

and it just goes to show you why i'd be a horrible booker-of-shows … i really thought there'd be more pent-up demand to see Jens after he's skipped DC so many times before
I bet it sells out eventually.
I'll be there, and so will my Hej Hej co-DJ. We're really excited for this one!
