Found out last night that the Bad Religion show is sold out tonight. Going to punk shows all the time and buying at the door has ruined my perception of how real concerts work. I really wanted to see OWTH too.

fattony (November 17, 2010)

Same here, though I wasn't going to make the BR show in the first place. What really blew my mind was how fast Social D sold out the Showbox SoDo. They had to add a second show a couple days after the first went on sale, but sadly the second show won't have the Aggrolites. So fuck that.

Hell yes I'll go to a Milwaukee Admirals game and see Against Me! afterward!

Shit. Now that I look at this again it looks like it might be Murphys only at the Admirals game.

RATFARTS.

maxethunders (November 17, 2010)

I'll be going too. Does anybody know where they play for that show? Is it on the ice or somewhere else? Plus, what's 6 hours round trip in Wisconsin in February it's just like a walk in a park that's made of ice and snow.

I've wanted to catch an Admirals game for a while now, especially since Blake Geoffrion's playing with them. I'm going to try to make it to this.

I am over this band. At least live. They still make good records. But 10 years ago, a murphys show was amazing, an event, the most fun you could have. The last few years though when I've gone to see them, it's an absolute bore. The band is boring to watch, they ran out of their passion. And the crowd is nothing but jocks now.

Report

Haanz (November 17, 2010)

This is some bullshit. What about finishing up the 2010 dates they cancelled, namely ALL THE FUCKING UK GIGS?

Kind of a kick in the teeth to see them cancel the end of their previous tour, inclusive of Scotland where they haven't been for several years now, and then announce new US gig dates without so much as an explanation or assurance they'll finish up their previous tour sometime.

But hey, at least the European Web Store is now open, right?

hooverstreet (November 17, 2010)

Will you please shut up?

Haanz (November 17, 2010)

Yes sir, I will.

Report

bill_stickers (November 17, 2010)

Why should he shut up? I also wanted to see Against Me! during their UK tour, but then they cancelled all the dates (I'm sure the aussies feel the same way), then announce a new run of US dates without annoucing some replacement dates. I dunno, maybe its just because I'm the one being affected by this, but if I was in a band and I cancelled several tours in different countries I don't go to often where I have loyal fans, I would make a pretty big effort to announce new dates there before anywhere else.

And that's why you post on a messenger board and don't do book bands.

And that's why you can't formluate a sentence, also post on message boards yourself... and are a massive tosser?

lookingforcorpses (November 17, 2010)

Wasn't really paying attention as I was doing something better. But yes, I post on messageboards, but not to bellyache about bands not playing my town or canceling shows. Tosser... give me a break.

I went to a show assuming to see Rancid headlining with Rise Against opening last year. Boy was i fucking wrong, surprised and disgusted.

lookingforcorpses (November 18, 2010)

Not sure why that tour confused so many people. It was really obviously a Rise Against headliner from the beginning.

When I saw the ticket say "Rise Against" I was clearly in denial until I went to the show.

I have come to the conclusion that Dropkick Murphys are on an AZ boycott. They haven't played here in at least 6 years. Thanks for that bitches, now I steal your music.

Agreed. I never understand the hate for Fillmore; other than price, the sound is usually good and it's a nice open space with no stupid poles or random stairs or risers to trip over. You mad.
