I have a ticket to JAMC and won't miss that.. but I"m seriously thinking I need to go to Bob Mould because I love Copper Blue..

Yes, you do.


And as stated in the Just Announced thread, this current rhythm section is better than the Sugar guys.


This will sell you. If I Can't Change Your Mind

Then again, Wurster can do no wrong by me.

W 9/5 - Kreator, Accept, Swallow the Sun @ Howard
Th 9/6 - Sunn O))), Dead in the Dirt @ Black Cat
Sa 9/8 - Pallbearer in Philly
Su 9/9 - Rush @ JLL (and maybe Vattnet Viskar @ Quarry House in the afternoon)

Saw Sunn O))) on Sunday night in NYC at the Power of the Riff fest– great set (and great show overall), stoked to see them again.

;D


as a record collector i always appreciated that one..

Jesus & Mary Chain
Trying hard to keep expectations and anticipation in check.

I've seen the JAMC about 3 times. First was in 1992: excellent. 1994: very good. 1998: trainwreck. I bet in that the time that's passed it'll be a pretty decent show.

Skipped Bombino due to supposed tropical rains that never materialized.

Noticed that Joan Walsh is appearing at Politics and Prose Friday. May go to that before the Comet thing.

I have only seen their first DC show in 1985. I am guessing it will be quite different than back then.  I find that nostalgia shows most often are beyond awful..  And I said I wasn't going to do anymore after seeing Sisters of Mercy a couple of years ago.  Hopefully this one will be at least half way decent.  They have quite a catalog of songs to choose from that i Have not heard yet.  It would be cool if they could have a true reunion with Douglas Hart and Bobby Gillepsie.

I would suggest getting there early enough to see the Vandelles.

Absolutely! I definitely second that.

Come out.

I agree that most nostalgia shows are disappointing. Perfect cases in point were Swervedriver and Urge Overkill earlier this year. That said, Scratch Acid was GREAT and gave me hope. Also bummed that the show sold out. That's great for the band but I avoid sold-out shows at 9:30 like the plague. Any/every other club in the city, it's not that big of a hassle. At the 9:30, ugh.
