Bill sure is a great performer and one hell of a guitarist. His band's top notch too, and they've always been great to work with. But it would never occur to me to put them on a show with Idlewild.
hello Idlewild posse
How about a Skatley Crue reunion gig?
They were horrible, in a comedic sort of way…and I've got the video to prove it. Besides, the only ones I know how to locate at this point are Seth and Kenny.
I'll want to her about that one in person sometime.

Bad blood notwithstanding, he's a great performer.
Of course I'm going to say Phaser….but I think they will be out of town then. -Damn, they'll be in Buffalo that night.
The Carlsonics would be good.
Please don't book Canyon; at least, not with Idlewild. Saw them once and could not stand them. Only saw them because Phaser opened for them and half the crowd left during their set.
What about Elefant? They may still be on the lower end of the price range. May be booked though as I think they are touring.
There is a great guy from Toronto called Barzin. Very small time but just released an album. The album is good and I just heard that he's good live. On the very laid back side though so you would have to take that into consideration.
The Lilys are probably getting too pricey but don't know. They would be good.
Maybe Pearlene. They really rock and are new. I think most here would like them.
Judah Johnson are a good band from Detroit. Not Garage, as you would think but nice Indie Rock.
The Greenehorns.
Alaska!

The Capitol City Dusters – They're local and draw a reasonable crowd.

No, I was just joking. My thoughts are the same as yours. They are probably the only local nad I've seen in my 6 years in DC that I really, really liked. But then again, I don't see that much local music. My tastes tend to skew toward nationally touring somewhat successful acts that appear at Iota.

I hope you wrote in pencil instead of pen Rhett…
I saw Canyon open for the Pernice Brothers/The Sadies a couple of years ago. They WERE terrible then. Maybe they've improved, or were having an off night, or were just not my thing. The kicker was that they took the place of Spoon on the original bill. What a tripleheader that would have been if the original lineup had stayed intact.
yes, they have improved. i hadnt seen them live until about a year or so ago and i was impressed. their first album was not very good, but their new one, empty rooms, is impressive.
a couple of mp3's are at www.canyonrock.com

MARAH! MARAH! MARAH!
Playing in the NE again these days. Great band. Have opened at 930 before for Steve Earle. Opening for Drive By Truckers in Philly so they are obviously willing to take that sort of gig.
Guessing that even Rhett likes them.

I'd vote for the Carlsonics.
And from Dischord, I'd love to see Cap City Dusters or Beauty Pill again.

i'd like to see washington social club again. and metropolitan is always good.
a couple more off the wall suggestions… (ok maybe left field suggestions)
Mark Helm (ex radioblue) Great songwriter who I wish did more live gigs
The Kennedys a bit jangly but would great with full band with bassist Steve Hansgen(Minor Threat) on board
Pharmacy Prophets Haven't seen live by am digging the mp3s.
Aden are a bit twee but would dig hearing the rare b-bender guitar they use
It's too bad that Philly's Bigger Lovers are taking the summer off and Mood Elevator Chris is still doing Brendan Benson shows in Europe.
