So, we get a band like The Walkmen, to come to a state like ALabama, and they are playing the night of the fucking Primary.

I am destined to never see a show again.

A dude me and Bloor know's band is playing in Mobile April, 1, and I have to be at a black tie ball.

I know your pain. Hadn't had a decent concert here in a long ass time. Finally, Lucero comes to Baton Rouge and it's on a Tuesday. No way to make that work.

We'll always have SXSW '04.

np: Cherish - Kool & The Gang

Thanks pal, I knew I could count on you.
Just thinking about that makes me smile.

if the ability to go to shows was taken from me, i'd absolutely die.

that sucks loog, but you'll go to something good very soon. i forsee it.

Well, the first single off the new record is called "Louisiana." Mayhaps they're planning a regional re-orientation away from the cold, bitter NE.

The show they played in Baton Rouge was one of the best I've ever been to.

I don't see a tour date for them AL. I see they're on the bill in NY with The Pogues tomorrow night. How feckin' great would that be?

I have a guest list + 1 to that show tomorrow night. Alas, I'm not going. How much does that suck? I hear they're only being allowed to play about 20 minutes though.

Its reasons like this that make me glad to be underemployed and drunk most of the time.

Show in Boston a few months back was pretty good...Mazarin opening too

i drove 90 miles to see the National last night because we haven't had a good show in years. it was worth it. my 9:00 meeting SUCKED.

It's June 6th.

holy fucking shit!!! new album in 2 months..

Ermm...I don't understand this...Walkmen are going to play at a Hotel Bar?! (i.e. Tribeca) I've never been there but I *think* it is at the Omni...and looking at their site, they have like the same local bands that have been playing in this region for 30 years.

They have mid-week singles parties for gawd's sake. This just can't be true. Am I actually going to see another band at a weird venue and be like one of 10 people who show up? Why am I so freaked out about this?!? And who is Bobby Bare, Jr.?

Someone you should go see. Great Texas singer/songwriter stuff.


That Atlanta show is on a Tuesday at the Loft..................yes please.

Bobby Bare is playing also.

Nice, a Charlotte show.

the last 2 times i've seen them have been continully less impressive than the first. But then, I still haven't listened to the new album yet..

well, since theyre coming to richmond i'll go. i'll take what i can get here.

It´s true. I think think the problem is them putting a guitar in Hamilton´s hands. When he´s holding the guitar he´s a damn statue. On the songs where he´s not burdened with it, he´s dynamic, energetic, all over the place.
