I was at that show, and would have to disagree. Though I do like both SCOTS and the now defunct Backsliders.
I saw the Old 97's open for Wilco at the 9:30, and thought Wilco was better. But the 97's fared better with the headlining slot on their next tour.

I must admit I'm tempted to go to see the Heinz 57's just to check them out.
I can always appreciate talent even though I may not like the music.

well it's already on the 9:30 schedule for Friday 1/23. They wouldn't snatch it back at this point…

Throughout the 97s set, everyone was standing around talking about how hot the Backsliders were. After SCOTS were 5 minutes into their set, no one was still thinking about the opening acts. But yeah, I understand that fun is a novelty in some scenes

Actually, I was never into GWAR at all. I've never seen them either, although I'm always tempted, just to see what the fuss is about.
Now, to keep this back on topic, I'm extremely psyched to see the Old 97's. I've got to admit, I've only just gotten into them within the past year or so, mainly from Rhett going on about them constantly. Thanks a ton, although that's yet another band I missed out on due to my sheer pigheadedness.

I am not touching myself over the prospect of a GWAR show.

Well it must be my wife with the ego, or maybe she's just in love with me. That whole rant was hers. I steal all my good material from her.

Back to the 97's
Do the tickets go on sale tomorrow at the box office as well?
Are they already on sale at the box office but won't be available online until tomorrow?
Why isn't there a phone number to call for the box office at the club? Or is there and could someone tell me.

Well in case anybody cares, here's the latest.
Thursday, December 11 2:54 PM: ARRIVED - Hark the herald angels sing, and in the Miller household they've been heralding the arrival on Maxwell Iahn Miller, all nine pounds of whom joined the rest of us on November 15. And like the rest of the second generation 97's, he's truly one beautiful baby. I think, however, that all the papa's involved will admit to having married extremely well.
DUE - A new Old 97's album, damnit. The good news is - or rather, the good rumors are - that the 97's will hit the
studio in February to wax a late Summer of '04 release.
DONE - The Old 97's have new mangement, which they share with Kings of Leon, Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris among others. It is, I believe, Vector Management out of Nashville, and according to both Ken and Murry, the new guys are extremely enthusiastic about getting the boys back in the studio and out on the road, and the band is just as enthusiastic about the new mangement.
COMING SOON - The Old 97's are hitting the road again! January will see the boys kick off a mini-tour, and if the past is any guide, these sets should feature some the the tunes the guys are working up for inclusion in their upcoming CD. And while they may return to the road in March and April to warm up for a full fledged tour latter in the year, miss these January shows at your peril!

I smell some serious media saturation and a bevy of new bad hairstyles.

Scary, to think how badly old 97s could mess up such a great back catologue?

Yes, god forbid anybody have the same hair as Lyle Lovett.

The same guy also manages Patty Loveless, John Hiatt, Johnny Lang, and Trace Adkins (plus Lovett and EmmyLou Harris). Sounds like Kings of Leon are the oddity of the bunch, and maybe the 97's will get some airtime on the Nashville Network.
