James - 9/27

One of the most underrated bands to ever grace a stage…..
Anyone who doesn't go to the show is a complete tosser and missing out on probably the best show this year!
I'm looking forward to Ft. Lauderdale this Monday.
Their new album (The Morning After) is now available in the states…..BUY IT!

Hey Mankie!
Kosmette and I are super psyched about this show, even sprung for the VIP tickets. Last time through town I went in a causal fan and left a convert. One of the best shows I've seen of late. Kinda bummed they aren't doing two nights, because they strike as the type of band which are worth seeing multiple times…

Culture Room, Ft. Lauderdale - James as sharp and professional as ever and seem to be really enoying their second lease on life. Probably the best James gig I've seen. Culture Room about 1/4 the size of 930 so quite the 'intimate evening with James' as Tim Booth announced at the start of the show.
Set list was a nice mix of very old / brand new songs, so it's not a "buy our new album tour"

If I had the luxury of time and funds I would drive up to Orlando to see them again tonight..then fly up for the 930 show next week, but reality tells me otherwise unfortunately.
I turned a friend onto them last year and when my wife was unable to come along I begged, coerced, threatened her to drive from Clearwater (4+ hours) to come with me. She reluctantly agreed but thanked me at the end of the show for 'making' her come along. She's a die-hard DMB fan but admitted james are a better live band, which is saying something evidently, having never seen DMB live.

This James will take a pass on that James, but if it takes a James to get Mankie back on board, I say god bless that James.

What are these VIP tickets that you speak of? My buddy is coming down from Boston and we're going to be at the show. One of my first post-Spawn shows so I'm looking forward to getting back to the club (doing a three nighter - Eels, James, and Stars).

The VIP tics were available on a band presale deal… Basically early entry, plus a chance to attend part of their soundcheck

*Plus you will be up front to sing the chorus for one song during the concert. They don't have a choir with them so are using people from the crowd. Stands to reason it will be lucky sods at the soundcheck! (Don't want to spoil the fun but learn the line, "here's to a long life" )
