it's a catchy tune and about a killing spree ;D

Really? They were all over the summer festival scene and did SNL a couple months ago (rather poorly I might add). You would almost have to try NOT to have heard of them.
The timing of the show makes me thing they will pushing a follow up album before then. Whether or not it sells out will depend on the success of that album and who the opener is. They were fairly well attended at the two festivals I saw them at this summer which lends credence to Seth's hypothesis on the timing of today's bands meteoric rise.
yeah, I saw them at Lolla, and they had one of the biggest crowds for their set ;D
I like tunes about killing sprees as much as the next guy but this one is just awful.

The fact that FTP keeps getting tagged "indie" just shows how meaningless the term has finally become. These guys are to indie what Matchbox 20 was to "alternative". They probably thought that they were being all ironic and shit with the Kenny G cameo–or expected their audience to think so–but it was really symptomatic of how industry inside they really are.
So will the Kooks being doing their cover of FTP's biggest hit a part of their set? And I thought this was the "indie" band that had two drummers in it…
Wait wait wait! Kenny G is in the video for that song? I promise I had no clue when I made that comment.

He was on SNL with them. Not kidding. Don't know about the video.

anyone else pleasantly surprised to see the magnetic fields at the club rather than a sit-down theater?
The new album sounds as though it will be more electronic like Holiday/Charm/Get Lost. More electronic = less acoustic = something that is easier to stand through? Maybe that also means we will get some Future Bible Heroes thrown in as well as more tracks from those three records.
Yeah, I'd prefer to see them standing, but I thought Stephin was pushing them into theaters wherever possible due to his tinnitus / irrational fear of applause.

My ability to completely block out pop culture is astounding, even to me.
Maybe you mistook them for MGMT? Both pretty generic.
I heard their hit on KEXP probably 10 times and assumed it was MGMT before the dj told me otherwise.
My college roommate was into Psychic TV, and all kinds of other weird shit that i don't remember, back in the the late 80's. When I once name dropped "Michael Stipe" he had no clue who I was talking about.

Nope. Have no idea what MGMT sounds like either. Though I have heard of them.
I don't listen to fm radio or satellite radio. And I watch very little TV, 90% of it Dvrd so i don't hear the ads.

In more late breaking news, I heard Mumford and Sons for the first time yesterday.

Coldplay added a second Verizon Center show: 7/9/12
that is the show i went for first, not knowing they had even added it until i got on. never try first night first is my motto, no matter what day of the week each show is . . . even though sunday and monday concerts are usually not preferred.

great news! this significantly increases my chances of picking up cheap tickets the week of the show, should i decide to go.
I wonder if they will play the exact same set list both nights. Probably.
I bought Sunday tickets before the second show was announced.

Well, slap my ass and call me sally… The black keys don't have any tickets available at the Verizon Center and sold out MSG.
I'm sure tickets are still available for both and will be released sporadically, but this blows my mind.
I take it back… tickets are still available just like I suspected!! No one is slappin' my ass except maybe Walkie.
Alien….Blade Runner…you obviously have a thing for Ridley Scott. So what's your opinion on this one?:
