Old 97's 1/23 and 1/24 at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. Does this mean they are back and touring again?

FUCK NO!!!!!!!

On second thoughts….FUCK YEAH!!!!! but charge $40 per ticket to see if Mr. & Mrs. Righteous McCheapskate back up their constant whinging about ticket prices at the club.

we don't "whing" about ticket prices at "the club", we just make value judgements based on our own criteria and sometimes marvel at what we perceive to be the indiscriminate taste of others…but to each their own…thing is, I doubt the show would be $40 because the Old 97s aren't overblown hype…

Reunion shows like this tend to be a letdown.

It's not a reunion show. They've played a handful of dates in Texas this year, lncluding the ACL Fest.

The band is scheduled to go into the studio and record the next album in January, with a fall your/release date. What will it sound like? Well Rhett handed the other member a copy of Ziggy Stardust for inspiration.


They're not signed to any label, and plan to shop it around once it's done. At least that's the last I heard.

Tickets are $20 each.

Thanks for the tip Nomad.

Oh really…then what's this if it's not a whinge, posted by your delightful hubby recently…he mustn't have run this one by you first.

I don't consider that a whinge, no. I guess like everything else, it's a matter of opinion, in which you and I obviously differ in nearly every way.

Who don't you two just kiss and make up? I'm mending fences by sending you a virtual French kiss. Enjoy.

I think this is one I will have to go see. Will even wear my Old 97s shirt. They were great live when I saw them at Fletchers a year or two back. Had seen their stickers around everywhere forever, never knew much about them.

Really like that the bassist lets Gibby sleep on his couch.

Oh my, y'all should get me to tell you my GWAR story. It involves a night of whippits, weed, Meister Brau and one of the band member's tongue down my throat. One of my craziest nights ever….
