Official 930 Club Replacements Echostage May 8 Show

Lets face it though…LA and NYC always tend to get the better shows and guests because the national media is there so they go the extra mile…

I got an email from Bandsintown last night that said J Roddy Walston & The Business were playing at Echostage on Friday, May 8th.  Are they opening the show now?  That's pretty sweet news if so.

Would make sense seeing as they're opening the Philly show the next day as well.

man scooped by bandsintown….can't believe the sleuths on here didn't figure that out

I do remember some asking J Rod on Facebook a while back if there was any chance of them being added to the DC show & he straight out said nope… one night only deal.

for those who might want a tshirt, this is front/back views of the "tour specific" shirt that'll probably be sold at the merch table….. there were a couple of other shirts, but this was the only one had the tour info on it… at least at the L.A. gig, anyway…..

Replacements 2015 tour t-shirt....

Nice.  Any other tour specific stuff for sale?

they had a couple of concert posters specific for each of the two nights at the Palladium since there were different opening acts for each show, looked like they were hand drawn…. didn't notice anything else tour related, but perhaps I could've missed something, I wasn't at the table very long…. but there were other t-shirts (I think one was a "Pleased To Meet Me" shirt, and perhaps a "Tim"?) and a sweatshirt or hoody, I think…..

so how is this show not sold out?
what's the size of that venue?
they even got Superchunk on the bill….

There are just a few tickets left for the last U.S. date of the Back by Unpopular Demand tour in Philadelphia on May 9, with Superchunk and J Roddy Walston and The Business.

It's a pretty sizable venue (6,500 people)….a lot of tickets to sell. It was one of the few that didn't go fast. If the tickets had been $35 instead of $55 (or $60 or whatever) it would be totally sold out. Philly isn't a particularly expensive city and I'm sure some folks on the fence were put off by the ticket price.

Does anyone know general set times at Echostage? 

the day of the show 930 will list it on their home page
but I'm guessing that the mats will hit the stage around 9-9:30

2 extra for DC  :)
1 extra for Philly  ???
FACE  (including fees) :o
PM me please :-X

Wow, I am a thread killer.

Tickets sold and remain very excited for Friday and Saturday! anyone? no one? Bagley?

So has there been a boardie meet-up discussed?

I'm coming up to the show solo and wouldn't mind getting a drink or snack before the gig.

Oops.  Forgot to reserve valet parking.  What a dope.

The horror.

LOL. I hear ya.

Hate the sound of valet parking.  But was planning to make an exception since the place is in such a dumpy area.

reserved parking a block away on parkingpanda. googled coupon codes, and found $5 off available.
