if alkaline trio played the kool haus or sound academy the venue would be empty. they're not popular enough to play either of those places.

They played the Kool Haus during their Goddamnit Redux tour and the place was packed.
Just sayin
Phoenix is better though. I'll be there.

Two tours ago they played the kool haus, it was pretty full. It was during the "goddamnit" tour with the larry arms.

Last time they played the sound academy, but i guess that was mostly due to rise against headlining.

they sold out both shows at the sound academy but yeah that was because of Rise Against

I reckon they filled the Kool Haus about five years ago.. that was late 2003 or early 2004. It was the winter, anyway. I don't remember which record had came out, but I remember being insulted that whatshername at the merch table told me to buy a hoodie one size bigger than I had chosen. Oh well!

The Toronto show is a circular narrative in many ways where it kind of sums up the human race in a time capsule.

Man, fuck that, they avoid Indy every damn time.

It seems like everyone avoids Cinci and Indy, the 2 places I could actually afford to go see a show.

Seriously. I could make the trip to Providence, but I don't know that Alk3 these days is worth it.

That's what I'm saying. But all in all, why go see this show for 50 dollars at the HOB and pay 8 bucks a PBR when you can pregame in RI?

In retrospect, this is for the better.

Two ridiculous comments in one... hoorah!

I skipped prom to see their Occult Roots tour. Well worth it.

Why? I go there all the time for shows..

Have fun hanging at home in Limon or Loveland or whatever shitty town you live in that's an hour outside of Denver.

Your Wildean wit is astounding. I bet you're the toast of the theater crowd.

Why not? Going to a crazy right-wing God Fest in the Springs that day?

I actually like that venue... Seen The Melvins and Bad Religion shows there.... sound isn't all that amazing, but it's got a cool setup, and not shitty security like The Warfield and The Fillmore

I think I might have to hit this show up

yeah dude i think the fillmore looks nice but what the fuck is up with that weird section on the right hand side with seating along the walls. i saw toots and the maytals there and everybody was just blazing up, including people who looked older than my parents.

havent been to the regency grand ballroom yet, but it should be good!

i may ride up with you for cursive.

They did this a lot recently. I believe it was called "the second half of 2009."

They headlined the Fillmore with Against Me! opening for them on the Occult Roots tour in 2006. And oh what a show it was.

Agreed, cause it saves me some cash money.

i really like The Ugly Organ

You should get Domestica too. Other than that, maybe the "Burst and Bloom" ep. The rest is blah to me.

Yes, he/she should get an old album that the band will mostly ignore live, and also sounds drastically different than their last 6 years of musical output... idiot.
