Has anyone heard who will be opening for the Pogues shows? Maybe someone on the club staff knows? Thanks!
The Pogues coming to "Washington D.C."
Shameless bump. See you at the show.
come early and see urban voodoo machine. they were very entertaining.
So who saw the show last night? 9:15 sound about right for showtime?
I think the Pogues started at 9:30, but you should follow thatguy's advice above. The Urban Voodoo Machine was a fun opener.
Just one more thing…when did they wrap up? 11:45 metro last call is such a kick in the ass…
last night was the worst sounding show at the 930.
They started at 9:30 and ended at 11:20. That included two encores.
Did Shane get totally shitfaced? Drinking is so cool!
i'd never seen the pogues before. how did that compare to other shows? didn't do all that much for me. the openers were pretty fun, like a cross between social d and stray cats, or something like that. have no idea how they will fit on the red and black stage on tuesday.
I don't think Shane "gets" totally shitfaced….I think he just pretty much "is" totally shitfaced.
That said I thought the show was pretty good. I was there the first night. I didn't think sound was that bad…there was some occasional feedback (monitors I think) and there was one song where things went pretty wrong soundwise but other than that OK. Not the best but not terrible sound.
Shanes voice held up better than I thought, some of the material he sounded quite good, but he's got a great band to carry him.
