Go see Asobi Seksu on 3/14. Tickets are only $12.

[bmack86]

Fuckin' A. Beck on Wednesday. I just got my ticket.

[suprefan]

Weird, the Beck thing isnt sold out yet. Maybe cause people dont want to bothr with it being cancelled again.

[bmack86]

It's more expensive than normal too.

And the Echo hasn't sent out an email telling people about it yet. They usually do that, right?

[brokenDREAMS]

This is definitely gonna be a warmup show for Beck since he's doing a mini tour in Japan the following week. I hope he doesn't cancel another show again like last time...

[pocket]

Scientology benefit at the Echo on Wednesday. Tickets are $35 on ticketweb RIGHT NOW. Godspeed.

seriously cheers man, just got my ticket.

[woogie846]

NOO! I read about this Beck show too late! Dammit! I've still never been able to see Beck at any of his Echo shows. ARGGGH.

[suprefan]

ITS NOT SOLD OUT

[dorkfish]

Try again Chris.

[suprefan]

And now it is, it wasnt when I looked 2 minutes ago, so.....

[EpicFaceMelt]

Volto (Danny Careys' other band) - Knitting Factory -tonight

[HunterGather]

Anyone happen to know if there would possibly be a GA pit at the Lakewood Amphitheatre in ATL?

Did Radiohead have a pit there for their last tour?

[suprefan]

Yeah Radiohead did have GA pit, what show? For the NIN one?

[HunterGather]

yes. and tanks 4 info.

[zajaa]

[woogie846]

The summer schedule for the Greek and the Gibson come out next Friday.

[Jon Blazed]

[fikus222]

The summer schedule for the Greek and the Gibson come out next Friday.

Cool, my wife was just wondering 'bout that...we are talking about the one true Greek Theater in Berkeley, right?

[woogie846]

The email I got was talking about the one in LA, sorry.

[IdiotequeThom]

Jimmy Eat World were absolutely incredible tonight.

[bmack86]

So, I'm not sure I can make Beck on wednesday. Probably not. If that's the case, I'd like for someone on the board to have the ticket. We can discuss via PM, and I can scan my ID to send it to you. I'll call the Echo and see what they need to get into the show.

the echo is pretty strict on a persons ID matching the person coming in, but i have got someone else's ID and got in but they hella hassled me.

good that you are helping someone else though yay you.

[tessalasset]

:):):)

what else did they play last night?

[IdiotequeThom]

:):):)

what else did they play last night?

The same exact set as your show. Clarity sounded perfect; i don't think i've ever gotten so many goosebumps at a show before. It was great to finally hear No Sensitivity. With the amount of time they had to play (and assuming they must always play The Middle) it would have been nearly impossible for that show to be any better than it was.

It's gonna be pretty tough for M83 to top last night....

Does anyone notice this organization doesn't exist?

[suprefan]

yes

[Barbara, the ninja]

I don't think "procede" is even a word, either. What the heck is going on?!?!!

[suprefan]

Everyone who goes will be kidnapped and taken to a scientology prison.

[EpicFaceMelt]

Volto absolutely killed it last night. Anyone who says Danny Carey isn't one of the top five drummers in the world is just well ... wrong.

[kreutz2112]

what does Volto even sound like?

[EpicFaceMelt]

Not as heavy as Tool, more funky/jazzy. They're a really eclectic band so it's not just one genre or anything. There were moments when they improvised and it was just straight up jazz. They teased few a Tool covers from Undertow. Swamp Song and Prison Sex if I remember correctly. Danny's solos were mindblowing.

But with that kind of schedule, how can you stop?

[whynotsmile99]

anyone know of good places to park for Avalon? I'd rather not pay that bullshit $30 to park next to the venue. I'm planing on parking around midnightish and not leaving till early morning

anyone going to Carl Cox tonight? Come on, someone go clubbing with me

[bmack86]

go up a block or two. You can park under the 101 usually and just walk. It's a safe enough area.

[AquaFresh]

Both No Doubt Irvine shows sold out immediately so 2 nights at the Gibson Ampitheatre have been added.

[tessalasset]

or park down on the side streets around the fonda. east of vine. and walk a few blocks. that's what i do. you probably can't actually park on hollywood during that time. i know a lot of major streets are no parking from 3 am to 5 am every day. lame.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Park on El Centro just south of Sunset. it's like a 5 block walk, but i have parked there probably 150 times for shows and have not once had a problem. It's worth it. The lots around Avalot are sooooo ridiculous

[whynotsmile99]

great tips guys, thanks I really appreciate it.

My friend lives 1.5 miles away so I'm thinking of finding a spot between her house/the club and walking it or cabbing it.

should be good

[Boourns]

Does anyone notice this organization doesn't exist?

It's a front for Scientology. Unless you count Xenu as cromulent education.

sonofhal, I envy the epic shows you catch. Blur? Jarvis Cocker? And I know you missed Emmy the Great but actually have seen her, yes?

[SubBass49]

Word out on the street is that U2 is playing the Belly-Up Tavern next week or in two weeks (in Solana Beach). Most likely this Sunday. I'm sure someone here would know something about this if it was true. I wouldn't believe it usually but I've heard it now from multiple people here... so I'm think it may actually be real.

If it does happen though, and I found out the night, I'll probably go over there and check it out from the outside, just to say I did it... could be kind of fun... it's right up the street from me and it's not like I'll have much better to do on a weekday night anyway.

Got my connection checking on it. I'll post here if I find out either way.

[dubvulture]

Can you buy tickets at the Fonda box office during a show?

[pocket]

go up a block or two. You can park under the 101 usually and just walk. It's a safe enough area.

thats a lie. i lived on cahuenga and franklin for 3 years and there were shootings all the time, stabbings and a whole bunch of other junk. park on dix, a half block north of franklin, check franklin between vine and cahuenga, or check franklin east of vine.

the area is getting better but watch out for anyone that looks shady, also watch out for the homeless people living in the vacant lot that use to be a gas station as they often harass people, oh and watch out for the prostitute in the same area, she gives head behind the dumpster, i use to see it out my window every night.

and the parking under the 101 is only until 10pm, it use to be 24 hours but there were too many people in rv's smoking crack so they put up a sign until 10. also watch if you park your car on franklin if you dont have a car alarm as the homeless will bust out your back windows.

[suprefan]

they have the hours posted on the goldenvoice website you know.

i think he meant just south of hollywood blvd, no? sunset's a bit of a stretch. def walkable, but unnecessarily far to park.

[tessalasset]

you can vote for iron and wine's set list now:

freedom hangs like heaven

house by the sea
lovesong of the buzzard
pagan angel and a borrowed car
resurrection fern

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

no, i meant sunset....if you're lucky you can find parking between hollywood and sunset, but because of the fonda and the other smaller clud that's actually on el centro, as well as the gym that's right there, it's tough....south of sunset though there's always parking

I've walked it tons of times, it's like 5-7 mintues to walk el centro/sunset to the avlaon, no biggie

oh damn i might go to this.

[fikus222]

Should I pick up tickets to see Bat for Lashes?

[Boourns]

I might end up doing Europe for a few weeks instead of Japan for two. Something I'm considering. If I do, I'd definitely hit the last two Jarvis shows and one of the Blur reunion gigs, even if I can't get a Glasto ticket.

[trancehiphop]

I already have tickets to this show, so all I need to do is ask around during the concert in order to try get put on the VIP list? Or all I need to do is just show my ticket to bouncers and I get in? I will look more into it but I am hoping you know more info about this!

When I asked about getting on the VIP list, Cut Copy's management said this:

"if you have a ticket to the show you're welcome to come up to the roof for the cutters party.

rachel@punkdafunk.com"

I guess we just have to find where and when the bracelets will be passed out during or before the show

[woogie846]

Les Claypool was great last night. The band only consisted of a bass, a cello, drums, and a xylophone. Eugene Hutz hopped on stage and played, too.

[kreutz2112]

really? I am seeing him next weekend. What was the setlist like? Any covers? Were his new songs good?

because NYC is cooler...just accept it already.

Actually...i think the logical reason is that most of those acts reside in NYC

Grizzly bear is right in the middle, so I agree.

Yep...true...LA just has better weather....fuck I need to move out of Denver.

::UPDATE::
update here everyone:

You must have a ticket to the show on the 10th in order to get into the LA cutter’s party. the first 75 people to ask the merch person for a wristband that are 21+ will get access to the cutters party.


all guestlist will have access as well.


we apologize for this, we wish everyone could stay and party, but surely some of you have work or school the next day

[suprefan]

There are probably only going to be 75 people who are over 21 at the show anyway.

[Cherita Chen]

Stuff from Harvest of Hope. It was a grand time and all for a good cause. I really hope it returns next year

BLVD @ Canes w/ Break Science feat. Adam Deitch & Vokab Kompany (ding ding ding LOCAL GROUP!)
Wednesday, March 11 at 9 p.m.
Canes Bar & Grill
3105 Ocean Front Walk, Mission Beach
Tickets $10

Vokab Kompany; founded in San Diego in 2007, fathered by Emcees/singers Robbie aka Rob Hurt and Matt Burke-y (baybe). These guys came together, having known each other from their Tahoe, CA high school days. Each had his own music endeavor in the years leading up to Vokab’s commencement, but ever since collaborating on VK’s debut Liquid Language, 2007 they have been focused on releasing the second album, out in April/May this year, thoughtfully dubbed, The New Kong. Vokab not yet signed, but strongly independent, is really coming into its own. They are partnered with the very talented band TSG (Tonight’s Special Guest), bringing years of musical experience and diversity to the Vokab Kompany’s brand of sound. A sound whose genre goes something like; hip-hop, soul, electro, funk. You have two Emcee’s who charge sped-up lyrical flows; made to sound effortless. Rob & Burkey have realized an impressive and seamless synergy with their voices and their lyrics are playfully vivacious and positive. Set those lyrics atop the 5 piece band, layered with creative electro beats and it makes for a very fun and a dance-worthy music experience. And if you still are standing still at one of their shows, there are a couple of talented ladies (Suze Q and Jenny Jen) putting go-go girlies to shame with their energetic moves.

This Wednesday...
If I didn't have to be up at 4:40am the next morning, I'd probably be going.
These guys put on one hell of a show (and my brother plays guitar in TSG).

[zenidogx]

same. and i'd club a baby seal pro bono.

That lineup sure is stacked. I wonder how long each of their sets will be.

The Canadian ones would probably appreciate it. Feist's got that seal-clubber vibe, definitely.

CO has so many good shows this year.

outside of David Byrne/DeVotchka and Mogwai no..at least not yet anyways......those tickets for Depeche and Cohen are ridiculous....and if KC is any indicator then Jane's/NIN will be stupid as well....I am hoping Mile High gets a good line up but even now with The Fray and WSP being a lock I don't see it...maybe Phish at Red Rocks will be great...

I'd wipe the smug fucking look of that adorable little fucker's face, that's for sure. With a good clubbing.

For the record, had the pleasure of meeting Feist once, and she's a damn nice dame. Not seal clubby at all. She remembered my friend by name from a previous show, which I thought was pretty cool.

[zenidogx]

i'm jealous. is Feist as stunning in person as she appears to be in magazines and videos?

silly question, i know.

[MissingPerson]

She's definitely got a foxy quality, although this at least partly comes from her generally cool 'tude. No airs or graces. I'd quite like to buy her a pint, like, I think she'd be cool to hang out with.

[zenidogx]

oh, to go seal clubbing with feist. if i were her man, we'd do it every sunday morning before going to brunch.

[MissingPerson]

One thing that sort of surprised me from her live show was just how solid a guitarist she is. I don't listen to her CDs much, I have to admit, and I associated her more with piano, but she rocks that axe pretty hard given half a chance.

[4Ransom]

Got my connection checking on it. I'll post here if I find out either way.

This is a documentary about the Good Life Cafe's legendary thursday open mic nights. It started in 89 and ended in 95. In this film you can witness the origins of acts like Jurassic 5, Freestyle Fellowship, Medusa, Pigeon John, and more.
To celebrate its release we will be doing a one time reunion show at the House Of Blues Tuesday, March 10th. I will be performing classic songs from that period with fellow lifers such as Chali 2na, Hymnal, Mixmaster Wolf, and Blackbird. If you're interested in checking out the scene I came from, this is it. It was the best time of my life.

dude, let us know for sure. id try to hit that up (along with 10 million others) if it were actually happening.

Doesn't look good so far...especially with U2 heading east right now for dates in Chicago and (I think) New York. My connection never heard back from management...meaning that if it happened, it was probably hush-hush before their LA show.

HEALTH loud or Deerhunter loud?

HEALTH, while i liked it, gave me a weird blast of bass up my leg.

Deerhunter was a more comfortable loud.

[bmack86]

HEALTH loud, but more treble than bass. Really piercing and intense. If you like that insane sorta stuff, you'll love it.

And the Mae Shi are rarely better than when they play the Smell.

[Cherita Chen]

I saw HEALTH this past weekend and they were much better than the last time. The music is really enjoyable and easy to get into but the "vocals" were giving me trouble.

Did you see my Harvest of Hope coverage, bmack?

[BlueDevil50]

i don't get the the boners you guys get over loud music? what about it makes it so cool?

[bmack86]

I saw HEALTH this past weekend and they were much better than the last time. The music is really enjoyable and easy to get into but the "vocals" were giving me trouble.

Did you see my Harvest of Hope coverage, bmack?

I did. You saw some great acts. Disappointed you missed the Mae Shi, because I'm certain you'd fall in love, but still. HEALTH are becoming monsters live. They are so goddamn tight.

i don't get the the boners you guys get over loud music? what about it makes it so cool?

I like loud music live because it's very physical, but also just because I like loud, aggressive music in general. There's just something about a really intense, sustained drag of noise that is both visceral and, when done right, very impressive artistically. Hell, I like it when it isn't done right sometimes just because it's fun to hear, but a good loud band that can fully control and use the noise rather than just play it is amazing.

[Cherita Chen]

I didn't skip the mae shi, they were one of the first acts on friday and we were scrambling to drive up there and set up camp in time.

Deerhunter was phenomenal. The first half of the set was their more "normal" sounding songs but with his crazy cool vocals but right around when they played "Nothing Ever Happened" is when the set turned a corner. It just got so psychedelic, and electric and intense. My mind was pulsating when they finished, and it was only a 45 minute set!

Holy Fuck were kind of awesome too. They sort of (very sort of) reminded me of Animal Collective, but just a very tiny bit

[amyzzz]

I just recently realized that I am slowly going deaf, so watch out for those loud shows.

[reverb]

i don't get the the boners you guys get over loud music? what about it makes it so cool?

have you ever seen a movie in a theater with the surround cranked? you FEEL it. your eyes process the visual...your ears process the sound...but your body feels it. you become engulfed in the experience.

if you're not into the band, it's just annoying as fuck....but if you're in...it's like going to 11.

for me, it was kinda like that.

(and in the interest of full disclosure...my relationship with loud has changed over the last few months as tinnitus has begun to rear its ugly head....i guess the kings of convenience had it right with quiet is the new loud)

[bmack86]

I've been steadily going to loud shows for 5 years now, and I've not yet noticed any perceptible difference in my hearing. It has to happen because I'm too much of a bastard to my ears for it to not, but still.

[amyzzz]

You're pretty young yet, bmack.

[wmgaretjax]

I can still hear a 21k tone clearly. I'll consider things OK for now... and I've already all but signed up for a nanotechnology study on repairing hearing that my friend is working on.

LA times says Throbbing Gristle has canceled UCLA appearance but still making it to Coachella..

Coachella act Throbbing Gristle confirms, then cancels UCLA Live show
06:25 PM PT, Mar 10 2009

Earlier today, UCLA Live announced a Throbbing Gristle concert for April 21 at Royce Hall, a show that the industrial noise-makers had already eluded to weeks ago on their website.

A mere two hours after confirmation, a UCLA Live representative has informed Pop & Hiss that the show has been canceled. Although the band did not officially state the reason, it's most likely because of a conflict with the outfit's already scheduled appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 19. The Indio music festival is known for employing so-called radius clauses that restrict artists from playing in the marketplace for a specified amount of time before and after the three-day fete. Living legend Leonard Cohen has been this season's one lone exception to the rule. Representatives from Throbbing Gristle and Coachella have not yet returned requests for a comment on the band's cancellation, but Pop & Hiss will happily update with any responses.

UCLA Live had been reportedly sitting on the news release for weeks, waiting for confirmation from TG's representation, which finally came this morning. The UCLA Live rep expressed some frustration over the quick cancellation: "We're embarrassed that this happened."

Genesis P-Orridge and company was due to play a different set for the UCLA Live showcase, a live soundtrack to the rare, experimental Derek Jarman film, "In the Shadow of the Sun." Jarman, who made videos for The Smiths and Pet Shop Boys, asked the band to create a soundscape for his Super-8 collage in 1980. A similar performance of the soundtrack filled Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in London in 2006. Jarman died in 1994.

As outlined on the band's website, the Coachella appearance is to be a "60 minute set from across TG's history." The industrial revolutionaries are also due to play shows in New York, Chicago and San Francisco in April.

what did they expect?

Fire Marshall shut down Cut Copy at the Fonda tonight 45 min into their set. Fucking lame

[KungFuJoe]

Yup. Super lame. It was emerging as the best set I've seen them perform in the 4 I've been to over the past year. That's following up their most disappointing set for me at Detour. Wonder if people are hanging around to see if they let them still perform the DJ set. Tonight was great, but a bummer. I might have to try & go tomorrow night now. Matt & Kim were good too. It was great to at least hear Cut Copy play Autobahn Music Box as well as the two new tracks, Sands of Time & ?

Special super thanks go to the person who got me into the show tonight :pulse

Anyone doubting interest in the Michael Jackson shows is extremely wrong. I've been in a ticketbastard queue for 20 mins so far, and it's still saying your wait is 15 mins or more. I've heard the run will be extended to 31 dates if there is demand, which it seems there is.

Damn. I might be going to England this July, and I was thinking of picking up tickets to one of these shows. Guess if that is the case, I will have to get scalper tickets. I never doubted interest at all, but that is crazy. Good luck

I tried for the hell of it and got floor tickets in the back. They put the links to buy up early, like at 6:57, guess they wanted to catch people off gaurd maybe? Took almost 10 mins for it to pop up though.

[sonofhal]

Still not gone through for me. Crashed the first time, just as the time started to actually go down. trying again, but don't have much hope.

Supre, are you planning a trip to England or Ebay?

[suprefan]

Neither, I just tried to see how insane it was going to be. I let em go after they were up for a minute. 181.50 GBP, thats a bit of money. ($250 usd)

[Ardentbiscuit]

What ever happened with that rumor that Steve Wynn was courting MJ for an extended Vegas show?

[scoop49er]

[Dogvolta]

Last night (3-10-09) seeing Akron at the Steve Alan Theater was one of thee most special live performances I have been a part of.
These guys know how to put on a live show.

[uscjeff]

Does anyone have an idea of what time Beck goes on tonight at the Echo? It looks like there is another show after at 10...

Right - but is that what time he actually goes on? Opener?

Nice, what night are you going on? Also, have the next 10 gone on sale already?

Neither, I just tried to see how insane it was going to be. I let em go after they were up for a minute. 181.50 GBP, thats a bit of money. ($250 usd)

For 2 tickets? Thats around what I expected.

[Cherita Chen]

Beck's doing it for charity!! He's such an Angel

[reverb]

Right - but is that what time he actually goes on? Opener?

the last time i saw him at the echo he went straight on...no opener...it was more of a dress rehearsal than it was a real show per se.

i'm guessing tonight's no different and he'll be hitting the stage somewhere between 7:45 & 8

[Boourns]

It's a scientology front. Those 2005 secret shows were tsunami benefits, and by tsunami benefit, I mean raising money for a group that would go "educate" victims about Xenu and such :(

[Cherita Chen]

Who cares? He's magical

[wmgaretjax]

So he said these will be his last Euro UK performances right? I hope he comes here. I'd love to see him.

Oh, and Beck is a fucking idiot.

[suprefan]

Nice, what night are you going on? Also, have the next 10 gone on sale already?

Yeah for 2 high priced tickets. Since they now have 30 shows you might be able to get something decent on ebay or whatever.

[rage patton]

So it has now officially been extended to 30 shows? Are all 30 shows already sold out?

I am waiting on a few things before I officially decide if I am heading over to the UK. But if all the stars align for me, I will be heading over there mid July.

[rage patton]

Incubus still play arenas and amphiteatres? Really?

[Cherita Chen]

I'm just shocked their still alive

[BlueDevil50]

no new cd...just a tour for their greatest hits.

[BlackSwan]

Looks like they'll be at Outside Lands.

[pancakespancakes]

I would really like to see Incubus again this year... but I've already seen them at Cricket Wireless Amph! So that would be boring. Hopefully they're playing OSL.

Incubus still play arenas and amphiteatres? Really?

Yeah I saw them at a 20K cappacity amphitheatre in 2007... and it didn't sell out all the way, but the place was practically full. Kinda surprised me too.

[BlueDevil50]

i actually really like incubus live...i wish they'd play more older stuff, but they're still a decent band.

edit: i passed engrish today ;)

[sonofhal]

[amyzzz]

*applause*

[BlueDevil50]

no dude...they just stopped being good years ago

i think they were REALLY good when their first couple albums came out and their past couple albums have just been good. never understood the hate they get on here...

[BlueDevil50]

poop...i hate misspelling words. my bad. one day i'll eventually start writing with correct punctuation as well. lol first things first...

[Tylerdurden31]

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was their peak, Make Yourself was decent, then it started toward pop boredom. Once their old bass player left they went south.

[wmgaretjax]

you are on a roll today.

[leo01g]

So is Beck still playing tonight? That ass better not cancel

[Cherita Chen]

So is Beck still playing tonight? That ass better not cancel

He won't. I called him

[leo01g]

cherita he better not its going to be awesome seeing him in such a small venue

[Cherita Chen]

Have I mentioned how fucking jealous I am? Leo, I NEED a full report back. The setlist, his outfit, his hair, the whole thang. Can you handle that?

p.s.-TELL him to replace Wino at Coachella

[Westy]

Will they allow cameras at tonights Beck show?

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

I was wondering that myself.

On a more important note:

People of Los Angeles, Akron/Family are playing the Steve Allen Theatre tonight, and tomorrow. Put quite simply, you owe it to yourself to go. Not only is it only $17 to go, but last night's show was quite simply one of the most exhilarating concerts I've ever been to. It was a joyful shout. And the Steve Allen theater is the smallest, most intimate venue I've ever been to, and definitely one of the most unique, as well. The show was also loud as fuck; at times it felt like what it might have been like to see The Velvet Underground in their heyday. if I didn't have Beck tonight, I'd be going all three days; honestly I was tempted to do so anyway, that's how good it was.

[Cherita Chen]

Fuck! You're going to Beck too??? :mad:

[leo01g]

Will they allow cameras at tonights Beck show?

everytime i go to the echo or echoplex they never search me

[leo01g]

Ill see both of you there then!

[pocket]

Will they allow cameras at tonights Beck show?

yes the allow all cameras including slrs into the show.

[reverb]

not sure how big a rush this is...but doves presale wiltern tickets are on sale now at livenation.com password is jetstream

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Fuck! You're going to Beck too??? :mad:

:sorry

[Cherita Chen]

Have fun for me

[Ardentbiscuit]

If you are going to the Beck show tonight you might as well stay for the show afterwards...

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

WTF?!?!?! I thought he was in Canada during this time?!!?!?

Neil Young

Magness Arena

Tickets on sale Saturday, March 14th

[paulb]

SMD tomorrow!

[rage patton]

Where is Magness Arena?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Where is Magness Arena?

Denver.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r285/ardentbiscuit/noculturekitsune.jpg

oh shit, that's a great show! I'd love to see Guns n Bombs AND Haeartsrevolution.....too bad i'm working all ngiht

[rage patton]

What do you mean you thought he was in Canada... does he supposedly have tour dates on that day or something?

Hmm... Coachella could still be in the works.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Nah, it won't happen :( Saturday sucks...

[woogie846]

Looks like they'll be at Outside Lands.

Outside Lands is shaping up to not look so good.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Fuck...Outsidelands is looking to be terrible...

[rage patton]

Nah, it won't happen :( Saturday sucks...

Does he already have a scheduled show the Saturday of Coachella?

[Boourns]

That's the problem with having Radiohead headline. The following year(s) will always be a major step down unless there are robots or royalty or beatles.

[bmack86]

Beck then Cut Copy tonight. I found a way to make it work with them playing at the Fonda, but it's really easy with the show moved to Club Nokia. Now it's just a hop skip and a jump away.

Beck at the Echo is always a blast.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

That's the problem with having Radiohead headline. The following year(s) will always be a major step down unless there are robots or royalty or beatles.

and what happens when my predictions for headliners come true: Bowie, Daft and Radiohead? What then?

[Boourns]

Is Club 1650 still open? That was a great show.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Does he already have a scheduled show the Saturday of Coachella?

I found his CA dates. He is in ONT on April 17th and in Saskatoon (EW!) on April 20th.

[rage patton]

Ah I see. So Coachella is not very likely at all. Lame.

[Boourns]

Set times for Saturday:
10:15 pm Asobi Seksu
9:15 pm Bell
8:30 pm Resplandor

Sigh :(

[suprefan]

And this is bad cause you have to sit on the troubadour stage for like 3 hours before they come on, not counting the hours spent in line out front right Frank?

[rage patton]

Why are you missing Asobi this time Frank?

[Boourns]

Not in town, hence the sigh.

[suprefan]

Ok, so they play l.a. like 3 times next week and YOU ARENT GOING? whack man.

[Boourns]

Well, LA once, SD once, and somewhere behind the orange curtain once. But at least there is still their set at Coachella. Oh wait...

Guess I gotta pay double to see them open for Yann Tiersen.

[Ardentbiscuit]

Why don't you see them on Monday the 16th at the Detroit Bar?
