I'm definitely going to be at the Velvet Lounge tonight to see them, seeing as I really dig their debut album. Anyone else planning on going?
Elefant roll call
I will be there, at the door for a while actually (to hand out TourVote propaganda).
well now i kinda wish i lived in DC, or at least, hadnt gone there last night. I love elefant. and to think, i was parked RIGHT outside the Vlounge last night. blah.
I will be there, hoping there wasn't enough promotion to make it overpacked in there. I still can't believe they are playing such a small venue.
Were Pollard goes, I must follow, SIGH.

I wasnt so keen at the start. The album I have ripped sounds too much like interpol. Plus, their support slot for interpol was pretty poor too.
But,
I listened to the album yesterday and really ennjoyed it. I think crap American music has finally got the better of me.

Originally posted by pollard:I was surprised, too. This is a pretty damned good band that regularly plays much bigger venues, has a hot recent release, is in the Coachella lineup, blah, blah, blah. We'll have to see if they pack the place–promotion seems to have been kind of low-key.

NME must have told him that.
Originally posted by mark e smith:I liked their performance at 9:30 but it did lack a certain something that makes the album very enjoyable. It will be interesting to see how they fair in a smaller venue…

Here's the question – what time will they go on tonight? My one problem with Velvet…we could be looking at a midnight start time, which is tough when you, you know, work.
Actually, Elefant's the only band on the schedule. Any ideas?
Also, see the video for Now That I Miss Her; it's been on Subterranean.

Any word on showtime/cover charge??
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?

Hey Guy,
I will be there. I wonder about the set time also. So I think I will go around 10pm.

Originally posted by Fico: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.
