Elefant roll call

If there is only one band, there is always a slim possibility that they might go on early….. Who knows with the velvet lounge. I plan to get there at 9.30. But I bet Elefant end up coming on around 11.15.

This could be a real test of not drinking in the week, especially with it being a polly $2 vodka night.

Also, for those of you who've been to DC9, would you say it's a better place for a band to play their first gig, as opposed to the Velvet?

It might be easier to get the gig at Velvet, but they smoke crack there. DC9 would be a cooler place to play, but either one is a nice first gig.

Velvet is about half the size…. So for a band doing their first gig, the smaller place might well be better. Judging from some of the support acts, they will let anyone with a guitar play Velvet. I wonder if the other place will be equally discerning?

I just got an email from Elefant's record label that I will on the guest list as a result of a drawing I entered at Olsson's a couple weeks ago.

I think I will be attending now.

I got the e-mail from Olsson's too. Anyone know how much tix are so I can bring friends?

No one knows. I expect it will be sub $10.

Isn't it usually $7?

Yes, or around there, but it was more than that for the tyde and $15 for the rebirth brass band.

Ok, supposedly its $6.

So who wants to call me from the Lounge and tell me what time they *say* the band will come on? I'll post it here…. PM me for my cell #…

What's the deal? Why doesn't The Velvet Lounge post band start times and admission prices on their web site?

Cheers ;)

they didn't even have a february schedule up until a couple of days ago

Oh Medusa, Medusa….Velvet Lounge is far too indie for that. Hell, you can call them at 10:00 and they'll only have a vague notion of when the bands are playing (or what bands are playing). This is DIY!

I just spoke to someone at The Velvet Lounge.

They said Elefant go on at 11 p.m. and that the cost is $6.

Hope that Bags and others who needed the info. see this! :)

Cheers

you KICK, Medusa. Thanks so much!! Have to decide if I'll head over, but now I know I can make it (you know, after The O.C. and all….). ;)

The show was great—I'm so glad I went! And I really digged the new tracks too. Hopefully it won't be long before album #2…

Pleased to meet you, Medusa and Liberte. Sorry if I was a bit hyper. But I thought that was one hell of a show.

They played the video that Bags posted as the second song.

Yes Lulu, the guy was really prrrrrrrrrretty. I wonder how he could tell you were Scottish? RRRRRRRRRRRR.

But the highlite was seening Pollard getting hugged not once, but twice by the hot lead singer. I got jealous.

dammit. Oh well, I made a judgement call and was in bed and sleeping by 11:30…
