That sucks! I know when The Strokes played here back in October they played with The Kings of Leon and charged $35 a ticket! Maybe I'll catch them next time they come around.

Nice..Have fun at the show! It's fun to go alone to shows! You can make a lot of friends! Or you can stand there while everyone pities you cuz you're alone..Either way, it's fun!;)

I have mastered the fine art of arriving minutes before the act I want to see goes onstage (sadly, I perfected this trait after missing half of Ima Robot's set in Minneapolis).

The reason being that I can no longer handle the smoke in some of these rooms. Someone needs to market a fashionable oxygen tank and mask.

Anyways, saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs last night, very impressive set. It was Karen O's birthday and Har Mar Superstar brought out a cake for her and led the crowd in a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday.

the yeah yeah yeahs gig sounds awesome. i cant wait to see them soon. the album is amazing and the master ep aint to bad either! i love them, and missed them at reading (i watched SOAD and Metallica instead). the har mar bit sounds comedy, i would have loved to see that!

yeah. i agree with the smokey thing. it sucks. i should have gone later (as there was no support last night) it was a good gig though. they played 6 tracks in 1h50min, including a omar solo and a bass solo. the set included a 30 minute take of 'cicatriz' and a 20 minute version of 'take the viel'

This band makes me cry, but don't put 'em

get squashed like roadkill.
façion, function, ...fact.
