The Pogues coming to "Washington D.C." December 07, 2007 at 11:17 PM UTC #
According to their web site they are coming to D.C. in early-to-mid March. Anything anyone wants to share? I imagine it will be at the 9:30 Club?

I can't wait for the words of wisdom from Brian Wallacallace regarding this topic.

Here's the website posting:

"Spring 2008 USA Goodness

The Pogues have announced that there will be shows in Chicago, Washington DC, Baltimore, New York City, Boston and Philidelphia. Dates and venues have not
been announced, but the tour will take place between March 5 (starting in Chicago) and March 20 (ending in Boston). Saint Patrick's day will be at Roseland
in New York City."

So it looks like two area shows.

Last time, 2007, they skipped DC. In 2006, they played DC for 2 nights.

BAH humbug. This happened a couple years ago – they played NY for St Patty's day, but were in DC during SxSW. Folks in NY could skip a day of SxSW, but they played DC over the SxSW weekend….

Ah yes…St. Patty's Day…the annual holiday that celebrates the disc shaped serving of ground meat.

It's just pure coincidence that it is celebrated on the same day as St. Patrick's Day, the patron saint of Eire, also known in most countries as St. Paddy's Day.

Pogues web site is unofficially saying (on their forum) that they are playing the 9:30 Club 9 and 10 March, then RHL in Baltimore on the 12th, if I remember correctly. So, again, this was just someone saying that Spider (whistle player from the band) told them these dates, but it looks pretty reliable from past experience. Cheers!

It looks like one dc date and one nyc date will be added once the dc/nyc shows sell out.

Unfortunate that the DC date is on a Sunday. Looks like I'll be calling in sick on Monday…

I just got mine too. Although I was surprised at the price: $55+. Was it that much the last time they played 9:30?

Wow, $55. Too costly for my blood. And I don't have time to bother with recouping the cost by buying and selling extras.
