Snow Patrol

I am really enjoying the streaming songs from the upcoming album (okay, upcoming US release of existing album). Maybe I'll have to catch the Iota Fleshtones show so I can hit the Snow Patrol at Black Cat on April 17th….

Album and show info and streaming link here, scroll down to 2-27-04 for good info.

Ahoy everyone~

As some of you may or may not know, my band "Cartel" will be playing a gig Friday March 26 @ the Velvet Lounge.

We've been told two other bands will be on the bill and we have the middle slot. We should be playing at about 10-10:15pm.

Anywho, the whole band would appreciate it if you would come along and please feel free to bring as many people as you want….

Hope to see you all there…. Cheerios,

Cartel.

I guess they must be playing the back stage, since Beauty Pill is playing the main stage on 4/17. I recently picked up "Songs For Polar Bears" and like it a lot.

I definitely want to check them out, but I've missed Beauty Pill the last couple times they played and swore that I'd do whatever was necessary to see them next time around. Throw the Fleshtones into the mix and there's just no way to hit everything that weekend.

April is turning into another month jam-packed with shows.

I saw Beauty Pill play somewhere last fall…I wasn't impressed…wonder if I missed something. But, either way, I'll be Snow Patrolling or Fleshtoning that night.

Really? I can only think of one show we're going to in April…and one in March.

Well, I've already for tix to 4 shows in the first half of April and I'm hoping to hit 2 of the 3 shows listed above (Beauty Pill/Fleshtones/Snow Patrol). That's 6 shows in the first 2 weeks or so. That's a lot more than I usually go to, and there's still half a month left.

Skeeter, what do you have tickets for? I haven't gotten any April tix yet (except GBV in New York…)

But you have a specific preference to only go to one show a month or so. So you never have "jam packed" months.

4/2 - WSC @ Black Cat
4/3 - Death Cab @ 9:30
4/4 - Bob Dylan @ Warner Theater
4/6 - The Darkness @ 9:30

Actually, I'm picking up the WSC tickets on Monday, but i'm 100% certain that I'm going to that show.

Busy week for Skeeter!

I forgot, I have Death Cab tix.

I'll probably go to WSC – Fridays are always good for that.

You certainly picked up tix to shows that sold well! Way to go…a friend of mine at the Warner said that second added show sold out lickety split.

Snow Patrol have moved to the 930 club. Which is interesting, since I would not think they were near big enough to headline the club. Which means they may be opening, but for whom?

Wow. Same night?

Might be a fun way to do an opener and then DC9 DJ night….

Or, catch one of the gazillion other bands that night.

Perhaps Ratdog has added a third show.

That's not even funny….. :confused:

It actually starts on 3/31 with Ratdog.

The Dylan show? It's not sold out yet. Very close though.

I would think so. Snow Patrol should bring out all of the Brit Rockers. In fact, if I'm understanding the original booking correctly, I find it absurd that Snow Patrol would even be considered for the Backstage instead of the Mainstage. They have way too much of a following for that. With that said, I do not think that they will by any means sell out the 9:30 Club. Should be a nice but comfortable crowd.

I love Final Straw as much, if not more, than their previous works.

I listened to about half the Snow Patrol album today, sounds like Semisonic has a new album, don't care for it much

I LOVE Snow Patrol, particularly the songs "Run," "Chocolate" and "Half The Fun."

OK - so when and where exactly is their live show (is it April 17th, indeed)? Snow Patrol is not listed in the web site schedules of either the 9.30 Club schedule nor The Black Cat schedule.

I don't want to miss them play! ;)

Cheers

Medusa, the April 17 9:30 Club date is on the Snow Patrol site. I think that's a 'certain' as we can get right now.

I will not be able to attend the Snow Patrol show. Well will be in Martinsville, VA for the NASCAR race the next day. I know y'all will miss us.
