Are we referring to the same - Poly Spree? Iota's capacity is 160 or less. Did they not have a good showing at 6&I? Would have thought it was a great venue for them, too bad the sound didn't deliver.
I thought the Sixth and I show was sold out.

It would be weird seeing him there!  I really love that venue.

The Polyphonic Spree did not disappoint.  What a fun time.

I tried to keep an eye out for cat shirts, but didnt see any. 


Yeah it was an awesome show.
Rumor has it the Afghan Whigs show last night was outrageous.
St. Vincent rocked The National tonight. I'd never seen her live before and I'm glad I finally did. She's electric live. I almost wish she'd extend her sets by a few songs.

she's playing next week at a very, very small venue here in Miami.  i'm 99% sure the show won't sell out. in fact, i think they've sold less than 200 tickets (which boggles the mind).  i'm really really looking forward to seeing her.

Indie rock, Miami style.
Anyone check out Modest Mouse last night?
went to see van der graaf generator tonight at the howard theatre. the band was great, as always, but i just can't get over how unprofessional and unpleasant the staff there was. the freaking bartenders were talking very loudly the whole damn show, and at some point the waiters were also discussing their social life just when the songs were extremely soft and quiet. also, there were reminders in every table that the minimum consumption was $10…I paid the ticket to be there!, why are you charging me 10 extra bucks if I want to sit down!

then, almost at the end of the show,  peter hammill said it was an honor for the band to play there because of the history of the place, but i thought to myself, how sad it was that the staff didn't have the minimum respect for the music, the band, the patrons or the place they work for.

i won't come back there again, that's for sure.
Wow that's a shame. I thought about hitting that show up and probably should have due to it being such a rarity and the fact that I've never seen them. I hate the minimum consumption thing and had no clue that they did that. Twins also do that and that is the biggest reason why I will never be back there.

I would email the venue and let them know your thoughts so they can improve..
who else went to the men last night, I was surprised they only played a 40 min set, unless they came back later after I left…

it was good though, but really short…
For the record, Roger Waters' show last night was pretty good

the guy beside me flipped the fuck out on the people smoking pot all around us.  i thought that was fun.  ge smith in the band was neat.

yeah . . . i realized half way through; the wall is a one time show.  it was pretty awesome that it seemed that roger was being blown away from emotion at the end with the endless applause he received.  you can tell, the man has finally reached some peace in his life.

and oh my . . . there was this one security guy in the middle of the floor.  one word:  yum.
I really enjoyed seeing The Wall for a second time last night.  Partly due to having a different perspective (in lower level seats last night vs. very close on floor the first time).

Funniest part of the evening for me was seeing someone say "This is amazing" while watching it through their phone.
