snow patrol

i am unashamed to say that i'll be there tonight. i'm looking forward to it, since i missed 'em last time around. though i'm sure the crowd will make me want to strangle someone.

sigh, yes I'll be there (for the 3rd night out of 5)

I hope I can be that special person.

Why? Dare I ask the indie community what is wrong with Snow Patrol? Loved the album as soon as I heard it.

Hope theyre better than Doves who were really lackluster in my opinion. Did not meet my expectations.

you could probably avoid my wrath by buying me beer… :)

I'm there…nice to know you guys will be strangling people tonight and not stabbing blondes… ;)

I am proud and excited to be going….Will be there for Athlete as well; it's a leap for me to get there in time for the opener!

I saw Snow Patrol when I was out in SF a few weeks back and they put on a very….average show. Don't get me wrong - I like their music but there really isn't anything special about the CD or their live show.

Having said that, I *will* be at the show tonight. And at the risk of going off topic (again) I'll concur that Doves were nothing special last night. I think Snow Patrol will be far more interesting…Or at least draw a more attractive crowd (eg. less of a sausage fest than the Doves show was).

While I'm very excited about the show, I can see what you mean. Each Snow Patrol show I've seen has been less interesting than the one before, which would put this one at pretty "meh"….Still, 'Final Straw' is one of my favorite albums of the last few years, so I always enjoy hearing the songs again. And Gary Lightbody smiles adorably while he sings, which I find extraordinarily endearing.

Yeah, why were the Doves so weak last night. Jaysus, I'm really pissed I wasted the $20 on them. Do those two dudes know how to play their guitars? It was a waste of time and money. I kept on phasing out then coming back and thinking I was watching the Flaming Lips while Mercury Rev was on. Overall, an trip to the 9:30 that wasn't worth it.

Drat, I was hoping for a "sausage fest" this evening. But it will probably be all shrieking spray-tanned Virginia girls taking pictures with their damn camera phones and stampeding over me in their rush to make it back to the metro/safety/virginia before midnight. What's a single Snow Patrol lovin' chick to do?

i think some people don't like snow patrol because – as the brits say – they're for bedwetters … they play straightforward unchallenging (sometimes syrupy) britpop, and i guess some people don't like that

this isn't my opinion, just what i've gathered from all the haterz out there

oh, and that song "run", yeah …

and there's the other reason.

I'll be there (2nd night out of 6 for me). Wish I could clone myself so I can see Andrew Bird at Iota as well

i'll be there too. it its uninspiring, perhaps i'll skip them in new orleans next week.

Did I read somewhere that one of the original members left the band recently?

the bass player…

Thanks. I haven't seen them live, but from the album it doesn't sound like that's a dealbreaker for the group.

novadancer and i will be there tonight. i saw them in NYC friday night, was a pretty good show, although not as good as the first time I saw them. im hoping they play post punk progression, and then ill be happy. :D that song was excellent on friday night!

Now if their shirts come down from $28 ill be amazed.
