Agreed. They're driving right by Philly. Could at least stop and play the TLA or the Troc one night!

Every time I've been there, it's been sold out.

In fact, the only time it wasn't was for Ted Leo. There were only about 20 of us there, and he had to stop after an hour because he was literally coughing up blood on the stage after every song.

I know! It's not like R5 Productions is putting on anything better around then.

Did you go to the prfm at the Electric Factory?

Report

rob25 (February 20, 2009)

Yupper. It wasn't as good as when they play smaller shows. The Troc and the Starlight are good places to see the. It was still fun. I had never seen Lifetime live so that kind of made my night.

Report

wafflezombie (February 20, 2009)

I was absolutely amazed by the turnout at the PRFM. Despite the crowd, I was still able to spend way too much money and acquire many awesome things. The only question is where can they take it to make it bigger?

Report

ExtraCheesePizza (February 20, 2009)

Are they going to start having shows at the Starlight that's not the Ting Tings? I'm surprised they're even having that show after the whole Punk Rock Flea Market thing.

Report

rob25 (February 20, 2009)

I'm pretty sure the Ting Tings have that place booked solid through spring.

ExtraCheesePizza (February 20, 2009)

Damn, I managed to avoid them entirely until Monday night. Kepi Ghoulie covered them.

Report

rob25 (February 20, 2009)

It's inevitable. We'll all be exposed to them sooner or later. What's all the fuss with them anyway? They sound like Avril Lavigne or someone along those lines.

wafflezombie (February 20, 2009)

On top of that, didn't Kevin suggest it? Good show, though. Somehow that was my first time in the Chapel, and that was a great space.

Yeah, don't sweat it. They play here often. We're just spoiled. I see them every time they're in Philly and it's always a good time.

Report

ExtraCheesePizza (February 20, 2009)

To be fair, I saw the Souls less than 6 months ago here in Philly, and World/Inferno like 3 times last year.

Report

skankbook (February 20, 2009)

If you live in Philly, you WILL see the Souls and/or the Loved Ones at least twice a year. Most of the time, they'll be playing the same show. This will be the fourth since the spring of '05 that I've seen them play together, yet it doesn't get old (kind of like RBF and Streetlight playing together).

ChadReligion (February 20, 2009)

take out Black President, put in Strike Anywhere and come to the west coast

This would be such a killer tour with out that band of Hacksters. Hell, they should be called The Hacksters.

I'll probably go, but go late enough to miss them.

I know I posted this further down, too...

Just get on 76 W, get on 202 at King of Prussia, take the 30 Bypass at the Exton/Downingtown (props to my hometown, what what) exit, then take 30 W to Lancaster. When traffic is right, it's about 35 minutes from Downingtown, which is about 25 minutes from Philly.

While I don't have a least favorite song, some of the stuff they did before "The Good, the Bad, and the Argyle" that appears on "Bad, Worse, and Out of Print" is pretty bad.

"The Messenger" is the closest out of anything to being bad; it should end about 45 seconds before it does.
