Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

Sleigh Bells

That seems like a small venue for them.  I saw them at MPP with Hot Chip in 2012 and they had quite a few fans in the crowd… And they sold out the 930 Club in 2013.   And they have not been back since. 

I enjoyed their MPP set and am leaning towards going to this.  That week is stacked… Television… Dinosaur Jr…. The Body and Full of Hell collaborative set…  And Sleigh Bells at a small venue.

I scored the $87.50s and still ended up paying $215 for the pair.

I ended up not pulling the trigger on Row W seats… hoping my person comes through there. Tickets will be a tad more expensive but should be front of the balcony!

en el suite box?

Costello es demasiado caro para mi.. o yo soy demasiado barato.. pero bueno, ya lo he visto 3 veces…

EC is one of my favoites, but $100+ a ticket (and no reach around)  is just too much in these current apocalyptic times



they don't have a music/entertainment section…but they have fasion?

I keep thinking and rethinking Costello tix.  $225-300 a pair. That's a lot of club shows.

EC always delivers, though…….

es verdad.. siempre espectacular!

Agree. Price too high. I downgraded to the lower price tix and got Row B balcony. At least it's a small venue

You didn't reply in Spanish.

  I do check their website frequently for new shows, because I have my pass, and pretty much immediately post any new ones in this thread.

I remember you got a pass but I don't remember how.  How many shows have you been to this year?

Tonight will be number 12.  It should be more like 20, but I ended up skipping some.

We were in the front row for the show at Strathmore.  Those were $100.  Seemed high at the time.  Not me, the ticket price, unfortunately.

I'm not a list guy or a Desert Island guy, but if I were, Imperial Bedroom would be there.

any thoughts on how mogwai's brand of quiet quiet LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD is going to sound like in echo'y ol' 6th and I?

I'll put this here for Bearman's sanity, though I know this lot won't use it.

you'd think he'd be grateful our commentary is on the right just announced thread but no…

I think it is now laziness, myself included, to come to the other, just announced page, to weigh your mental weight around regarding some topic of the, just announced thread.  The time it takes alone, to switch over into commentary, some of the initial thoughts are, lost, making it just simple action to post it quickly in the, just announced thread.

Not, that I support such things, meaning rambling on in the, just announced thread.

a few people commenting on a just announced show about a just announced show is hardly a reason to get excited..

Somewhere on this board is a review of a younger Smackie's Nouvelle Vague experience.

It ended with Smackie on stage doing shots of Makers with them.  An unforgettable night….   

EDIT: Here you go....

Ryan Adams presale is going on for citi card holders.  Since the board seems to hate him it won't matter to most.   

Presale Code: #SUMMEROF69

I'm only going if he plays 1989 in it's entirety.
