Secret Machines Fall Tour 2006

The Secret Machines are going to embark on an ambitious "In-The-Round" tour this Fall... Fans in LA and NYC have already seen the band In-The-Round in May at the two official CD release party's. These shows proved to be a great experience for both the band and the fans and as a result of the great audience reaction the Secret Machines have decided to take their In-The-Round show on the road. This unique set-up will allow fans to experience the band in a way that was never before possible. Do not miss this rare show when it comes to your town...

Pre-Sale tickets (with reduced fees) are now available at the bands own ticketing website for a short time: http://secretmachines.baselineticketing.com/

i would really love to know how this round stage is going to work in some of these venues.

I like these guys.

I'm down for Park West, Z. What does in the round even mean?

apparently, it means they're going to be on a round stage that rotates.

i'm going to have to go when they come to la - my friends that were at the last la show said the way the stage was set up was amazing and it was one of the best shows they've seen.

but i wonder how this will be set up at the avalon?

It doesn't necessarily rotate. U2 did it and their stage didn't rotate.

are the secret machines motherfuckin' u2?! why can't secret machines have a round stage that actually rotates instead of a round stage that doesn't do anything?! huh, ever think about that?

(for the record, i read elsewhere that the intention was for the stage to rotate. who wants to get stuck behind a round stage?)

i fucking hate you.

my parents saw a stevie wonder concert in the 70's where he was on a round stage, surrounded by keyboards, and the shit was spinning. secret machines, let me remind you, are not stevie wonder, either. i highly doubt their stage is going to rotate.

Why don't you come to Park West and see for yourself!
