The Pains of Being Pure At Heart Rollcall

anyone else?  should be a fun monday show

Ill be there, though I am coming for D Guild.  I checked PPBPAH out and they seem worth staying for. 

Any chance of this selling out?

leaning towards going - like the album - echo BC's question regarding a sellout - will a good pitchfork review get the hipsters out in droves? I won't be ablt to get down there until 10ish

i'm always horrible at this, but they got a pitchfork "best new music" tag this week, so i'm guessing yes … i have my tickets already

fees aren't too horrible on ticketmaster ($3.25/ticket for two $10 tickets) … 32.5% of the face value sucks, but it's only $3.25 in real terms

i'll be there and I recommend getting advanced tickets for this show!

Ditto.

Although the Pains album has significantly grown on me.

Sold.  I'm in.

I'm there as well for both TPOBPAH and DG. And the openers, i have a lot of bands to see…

well, it looks like we'll be about 10% of the crowd  ;)

Where exactly is the backstage part of the club?  Ive so far only attended main stage concerts.

on a stage in the back part of the club (go through the red room)

stuck at work, hope i can make it…

One sentence review:
Pains exceeded my expectations while TDG fell way short.

I thought both bands were really good.  I had no real expectations going in though.

Curse you handsome devils. I would've liked to have seen this show but couldn't make it happen. I like the Pains album quite a bit but I suspect it'll just be a quickie affair.

Your loss.

How long was the Pains show? I saw them on saturday night at the mercury - and it was a really short set, maybe 25 mins at the most. friends of mine had seen them at house parties and also a set from them at Mondo (don hills) and it was equally short. regardless, they were a bunch of fun. peggy seemed like she was posing for the latest hipster magazine and so disinterested on the stage when she wasnt singing. regardless, we had a packed show barely able to move, but we all danced up a storm in the front.

death guild sounded really great from when i had seen them previously. their sound was just awesome. zaza also sounded great - but their songs seemed endless. very cool that the drummer from the pains also played in both those other bands.

we also had cause co-motion which so didnt fit on the bill, but were fun nonetheless.

they played for about 30 minutes (they also came on stage 30 mins later than advertised - grrr)

I had no expectations but thought it was a great show - nothing groundbreaking about what they do but they have some insanely catchy songs

That was incredibly annoying.  The stage sat completely empty for a good 20+ minutes before they came out.    The time between bands was longer than their actual set.  They were worth the wait, but they almost lost me.
