wooohooo pumpkins coming to austin, playing at the backyard... on november 2nd!
no super secret presale, public presale 9/22...

anyone wanna buy a dallas pit ticket??

SWEET! This makes up for the Houston show.

edit: on the Tour page it's listed as Nov. 1st.

http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/tour

bleh i was going by the myspace message

Having the show on the 2nd makes more sense - could they play Atlanta on 10/31 and Austin on 11/1? I doubt it. It's almost 1000 miles!

fuuuuuuuuckkking hellll

this is awesome....11/2 is the day I fly into TX for the Dallas show. And yes, you guessed it, we'll be making the 3hr drive to Austin for this show as well!!!

Thank god I chose to get into DFW at 10am on 11/2, so it works out perfect!!! :bananamac

http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_2042 << says 11/2
http://www.myspace.com/smashingpumpkins << says 11/2
http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/tour << says 11/1 (probably a mistake).

This also means we now get to see EITS!!! :rock_on:

wtf is EITS??? and the drive is more like 4.5 hours

Explosions In The Sky = opening band.

The drive from Dallas to Austin is 3 hours; if it takes you 4.5, you either drive extremely slow or make too many stops along the way.

ditto !

so who else is going to try and make both?

I am, plus Houston. If anyone needs a place to stay in Austin... let me know!

Dallas & Austin....no Houston.

/shrug i make the drive alot, at ~75 mph from north dallas (richardson) to south austin it takes around 4.5 hours taking highway 75 to IH35 the whole way.

Buzzfest, 10/28...

Richardson is way north of Dallas lol. Austin downtown to Dallas downtown is 3 hours.

The drive to Grand Prairie should be even shorter...

im from atx, so all the little subburbs count as 'dallas' to me!! =)

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. But with the big cities, it makes a big difference - for instance it's 2.25 hours to my parent's house in Houston - and 3.5 to some of my friends' houses in Houston (from my Austin apartment). Those cities are HUGE!

Buzzfest, 10/28...

Yes, I know. I meant, I'm not going to the Houston show.

/shrug i make the drive alot, at ~75 mph from north dallas (richardson) to south austin it takes around 4.5 hours taking highway 75 to IH35 the whole way.

I live in Richardson too, and it takes me 3 hours to get to downtown Austin.

Yes, I know. I meant, I'm not going to the Houston show.
Ahh. I thought you were denying the existence of the show.

Heh. Which would be nice, actually. The consensus is that Buzzfest blows.

so who else is going to try and make both?
i really wish i could, but i can't miss work (which is stupid really if you think about it...what do i DO here beside posting on netphoria all day, lol). There's a rule here that you can't take days of from nov - march because those are our busiest months :( I was freaking out about the dallas show at first until i realized it was a saturday. Also, I don't like driving in big cities i'm not familiar with, which *******s both dallas and austin...i have a friend going with me who's driving, and i'm not sure he'd be able to take the extra day off either. Oh, and then there's the issue of being broke because i just spent an assload of $$ on a new macbook, midi controller, and recording software.... so yeah, looks like dallas is going to be the only show i see. Which, by the way, really bums me out. I remember the days of the infinite sadness tour where i was traveling around, following the band like a groupie, haha...those where some good times.

I live in Richardson too, and it takes me 3 hours to get to downtown Austin.

damn you must drive fast or use some alternate path.... for me it takes around 3 hours to from the round rock area (just north of atx) to the southern tip of dallas, but it takes like 30 minutes from round rock to south austin and probably around 45 minutes from richardson to just south of dallas depending on what time of day it is and how bad traffic is. maybe i just get stuck in traffic longer in atx and dallas. its around 210 miles, so traffic has got to be it!

so who else is going to try and make both?

well I already have a pit ticket for the dallas show, but i don't know anyone in dallas and would be going to the concert alone, which is ok per-say but going to a show without someone else to hang with before etc kinda sucks - so i am really on the fence about it.

why don't you keep it and meet up with some netphoria kids? we'll keep you entertained in the hours before the show :)

Dude going to shows alone is awesome.

got my tickets. 2 GA for $116 after all charges. who else 'got em?

Got'em....3 tickets.

Got 4.

got 4

damn, I'm thinking about it

You have plenty of time to think. I just bought mine. I don't know why they're playing the Backyard. It's too large of a venue.

ok I just bought a couple. seein them both nights!!

It's too large of a venue.

The capacity is 3200. That's not too big is it?


edit: actually it's 3200 for seated, 4,500 for general admission. still i hear it's a pretty great venue right?

It is a phenomenal venue. I absolutely love it.

I would be surprised if they fit 4,500 people in there though! I always remember it to be a relatively small venue.

Especially because the Woodlands show is 17,000 and the Dallas show is like 6,000.

the woodlands pavillion sucks. it's pretty but the sound is like half as loud as any other venue i've ever been in.

Dude I know. Blah. I wouldn't even be going if my friend could make the other shows, but whatev.

Oh, it looks like EITS won't be opening this show either, according to their website. But since this SP show was just announced, maybe they just haven't announced it yet.

i'm debating. i'm from austin, but i currently live in dallas. i have pit tickets to it. so ... drive to austin? i simply think one show is enough.

backyard > all

I live in Richardson too

Did you go to high school in Richardson?

so the show's at 8, i guess that means doors around 7 or so. how early do you guys think you need to show up and get in line?

i simply think one show is enough.

:noway:

i fly into DFW friday morning and the plan is to head to austin by 1:30pm. whether or not we get in line right at 4:30pm remains to be seen...i guess we'll see what the situation is, if anyone is meeting up for drinks beforehand, etc.

Did you go to high school in Richardson?

Nope. I went to high school in Carrollton.

Just received an email reply from EITS that they will not be opening this show.

Bummer. No openers in Austin and Dallas?!

im up for bewz

Already asked for half the day off from work. I work on south mopac, but honestly have no idea where to get together for drinks. the spec's parking lot?

I'll probably just be getting there really early with some water and snacks to hold my place in line

I have two tickets for sale, btw.

i think i'm bringing beer to drink in the parking lot. if anyone else wants to tailgate, lets party.

The Backyard isn't really suited to tailgating anymore. It used to be a venue in the woods, but now it's surrounded by shopping centers and assorted crap.

yeah.. you used to be able to buy mushrooms on the hike from the parking to the venue.

still... beer in the parking lot

Just received an email reply from EITS that they will not be opening this show.

Bummer. No openers in Austin and Dallas?!
I've been wondering the same thing, haven't heard anything from anyone and haven't seen anything posted about openers for either shows. So... hurry up and wait. :]

can't wait for these texas shows. epscially with the setlists still changing.

so am i correct in my thinking that the backyard is a large GA area vs. the Dallas show which is just a small GA pit up front?

it's settled then. beer in the parking lot.

kewl. so sounds like it makes sense to show up earlier for Austin, since Dallas is pretty small to begin with and inherently will be a good spot (like the Indiana show I went to...or the seated pit @ Normal).

so Andrew -- are you going to both? i plan on wearing my big lebowski shirt for 1 of the days, in honor of you. hopefully the laundry gods will allow it.

i'm still so bummed i can't get the day off for this show. It's been a long time since I got to see two shows on consecutive nights.

i plan on wearing my big lebowski shirt for 1 of the days, in honor of you.[/color]

That's kinda weird dude.

lol, relax man....i was kidding. it'd just be for identification purposes anyway.

beer and :smoke: in the parking lot sounds good. we will be there by 4:30pm or so.

i dont know what time i'll be there... i suppose whenever i wake up. what time are you getting there snuggles?

Remind me why you called me snuggles. I can't remember. High school was a lifetime ago.


I plan on getting there plenty early so I can hear the soundcheck. They've been soundchecking some oddball songs but not playing them in the set.

Ooh, good idea. I bet it's really easy to hear the soundcheck, too - when I went to see Yes there, we could hear them crisply from the gravel parking lot (as we arrived late).

i am down for tailgating and kicking it before the show

then dallas will be much easier, since we'll all know each other already. every show i go to i find out i was standing right next to someone i should have been talking to.

the weird t-shirt you had with the black and white photo of all of the guys on it. the red letters we thought spelled 'smugglers' until we realized it said 'snuggles'

I'll be there early in the afternoon. When I saw Beck there, I got there around three and no one else showed up until about 5-ish.

the weird t-shirt you had with the black and white photo of all of the guys on it. the red letters we thought spelled 'smugglers' until we realized it said 'snuggles'

huh, don't remember that shirt. i did have some weird thrift store t-shirts back then.

ah damn. if i'd known about this I would've taken this day off of work too. Oh well. I kind of miss Austin, but I dont know anyone that lives there anymore, so thats kind of a bummer. oh well. see y'all in dallas.

I am from austin, live in dallas. going to both shows.

Let me tell You about Austin ... it's the live music capitol of the world. People in Austin don't show up to concerts until at least 10 pm. That's just how we roll. If you show up early you will be the only person sitting in line and people will look at you like you're from out of town and batshit insane. ; p

But, seriously, all joking aside ... you should check out the restaurants and stuff austin has to offer downtown. Don't worry about getting the show early, people will not be lining up, I promise.

As for me, i will be driving to Austin Thursday night, getting new contacts friday, going to the show with about 10 friends, then driving to dallas with a friend to see them there as well.

you didn't see the pumpkins in austin circa 2000 did you?

don't remember. too many drugs.

you didn't see the pumpkins in austin circa 2000 did you?

ya i remember there was a line, although i wasn't too too far from the front

this is my realistic dream setlist for Friday:

WBFTT
Superchrist
Doomsday clock
Home
Drown
>Hummer
Starla
Ava Adore

Acoustic - 1979
Acoustic - Perfect
Acoustic - To Sheila

Pomp and Circumstance
SIYL
Thats The Way
Bring the Light

Encore 1
Muzzle
Cherub Rock

Encore 2
Let Me Give the World To You

They have normally been playing roughly 5 Zeitgeist songs, so I threw in the ones I would like to hear (Superchrist and US can be interchangeable since they are the same song) plenty of singles, not really obscure songs that haven't been played lately. I doubt this setlist would be played, but that's what I would like to hear.

i really only want to hear hummer, perfect, and muzzle. i would love for them to rip out gossamer again, just for this show.

I have always loved Home, I don't know how I feel about the new intro, but am really glad that they have been playing it this tour... For me its Home, Hummer and Drown - I would be happy with those 3

Gossamer would be cool to end with, but its sooo long (if they play the usual 30 minute version) that would prolly cut out alot of songs since they have only been playing roughly 2 hour shows post summer.

indeed. austin's hippie jam band fairweather fans that will be at the show i figured would get a kick out of gossamer.


is anyone here going to tape?

With the Atlanta shows both postponed and reports that Jimmy has been ordered to take a week off, I wonder if this show and Dallas are now in Jeopardy as well.

I'm going to kill myself if they're cancelled

I'm going to kill myself if they're cancelled

That's kind of extreme. Why not just wait until they reschedule?

i'm not so worried about it getting canceled or rescheduled (even though it is my birthday :( ). I am more worried about Jimmys future. if this is even slightly severe, he has got to think about his family- wife, and 2 kids. if he is having a problem by playing as hard as he does every night along with the troubles of traveling, i don't know how long this could last.


however, maybe he just ate something spicy.

Nice to hear that someone actually cares about Jimmy the person, as opposed to Jimmy the breathing drum machine. I'll be disappointed too, but the man is a mere mortal. I went through the same thing when U2 had to cancel their Hawaii show in April 2005 after The Edge's daughter fell ill. I would rather have to wait a few weeks for him to get better than watch the man die onstage trying to please the fans.

on a side note- i just found out that 'what made milwaukee famous' is supposed to open for the band in austin and dallas. i don't know if this had been mentioned before

http://www.whatmademilwaukeefamous.com/

i would rather them reschedule and do a bad ass great set then watch them half ass it. if jimmy needs the rest - i am all for him taking it.

I saw them at Waterloo once.

Of course. I hope Jimmy gets to chill for a while, and that he's fine. How ever long it takes, for sure.

They should seriouslly just scrap the remainder of the dates (what 10 shows?), and make those up in the spring.

cancelled

you're killing me dude. ^

seriously, davin, what are you going to do if the shows are canned?

i guess still come to texas to visit my friend...and then hope jimmy gets better and that i can make the new dates.

if its a choice between recovering and making things worse, i'll take the cancellation. :(

i'm still pulling that it's just heartburn, though. i've got a shiner with your name on it

I called the venue; the lady told me they hadn't heard anything yet one way or the other, and keep checking the website for updates.

Hopefully Jimmy is feeling better...

i could go for a shiner about now. one of my favorites :)

lol, I have an album of theirs

shiner is a great band, i have all their albums.

and the frontman's new band is The Life and Times.

if dallas is cancelled this show must be too

I taped Shiner once.. they opened for Death Cab w/ The Prom.

They were terrible..... if you want the davin, let me know

yea, they've had some questionable live shows....there were many band issues that contributed to their demise.

that would be great man, i would love to hear it.

it's going to be interesting to see if they can reschedule the austin show, and where. this was the last show of the season at the backyard, and i'm not sure they would open it up for a show in the middle of november. the music hall still isnt finished, and the tori amos show that was scheduled to play there at the end of november was moved to san antonio because of the construction.

I called the backyard, they still don't know yet if it's postponed or not. The lady said they would update their website (www.thebackyard.net) as soon as they are notified (if they are notified).

Weird. I went to see BNL there last November 11th. I know that's just another week, and it was freakishly cold...

A friend just texted me and said 101X announced that the Austin show has been canceled.

i dont doubt if it is just canceled all together. it wasnt sold out, less people will go to the rescheduled date- austin hates national bands not the killers.

A friend just texted me and said 101X announced that the Austin show has been canceled.
Blah. At least we still have (postponed) Dallas.

i want to die

shiner is a great band, i have all their albums.

and the frontman's new band is The Life and Times.

I think they opened for HUM or something back in the mid 90's

I don't remember..that was a long time ago.

A friend just texted me and said 101X announced that the Austin show has been canceled.

i refuse to believe it until the backyard or gettix.net's websites have been updated. or the o-site, but base on what happened with atlant, i think the others will be updated first.

accoriding to the opening band's myspace, it's canceled.

indeed.


sucks

that was all i had planned for my birthday :(

accoriding to the opening band's myspace, it's canceled.

link? name of opening band?

http://www.myspace.com/whatmademilwaukeefamous

they were confirmed on the 29th- i posted it here when i first found out.

i emailed the band to see if they were given a reason why or if there was a possibility of a reschedule.

i was going to go to dallas i guess maybe when they get re-calender i'll go

I think I'm more upset that I'm missing What Made Milwaukee Famous than I am missing SP. I've missed WMMF more times than I can count ... and they're damn good.

Bummer.
Hope Jimmy's OK.

mmmmmm shiner hefeweizen.... my favorite
damn right, I'll take mine with a slice of lemon in it please ;)

This just keeps getting better and better.

Hopefully, jim dies before the epic chicago shows. That would be fucking sweet.

the Dallas show has been rescheduled to Nov. 18th.

This is the Austin thread you dolt.

duh. but some peeps are going to both shows. figured they'd care to know.

thanks for posting!

thanks for posting!
YOU are welcome :)

This whole situation is so fucked up. I just called the Backyard and they have no official info from the band's management and are still planning on the pumpkins playing tomorrow night.

I'm so fucking pissed that the actual band won't let us know what's up. We're fucking making them rich buying tickets and they don't give a fuck about us trying to organize our crazy lives.

yeah yesterday i was defending them, but if jimmy's out of the hospital by now, it's only fair that they let us know what's going on.

According the GetTix rep, the show is still going on.....as far as they know. WTF!! Although, I'm sure they have to say that until they receive official word from the band or record label.

I'll shoot an e-mail to the band's management. Maybe they can shed some light on this.

you rock, Andrew

yeah I called them too... they said they did not yet know if the show would be cancelled but that they would post it up on their website as soon as they got the info from the band and also to call back again later to see if they had new information

Dallas has been rescheduled for 11/18. Now I wonder what's up with Austin.

So get THIS:

I called What Made Milwaukee Famous's management, and they say that to their knowledge the austin show is still happening, despite WMMF saying that it's cancelled on their myspace!! gahh

Dallas Rescheduled 18th 110% confirmed

Austin Rescheduled 17th originally, was later told to disregard and are awaiting confirmed reschedule date per Billy Phillips @ The Backyard

where did you hear about this initial backyard rescheduling?

where did you hear about this initial backyard rescheduling?

Direct Events does advertising with one of the papers we do. We work with them on a weekly basis. Called them up and spoke with Billy Phillips.

I haven't sent the e-mail yet, but it looks like someone already got the info we're looking for.

UPDATE (Somewhat Major):

There may be some issues with The Backyard as a venue. Its a seasonal venue (always has been) and apparently this was meant to be the last show of the year. Thus the delay in announcement. Direct Events is getting shit in order to see if they can even hold an event past this week (city related shit and all that). In the event they can't they're working on refund scenarios and what not.

I dont know the pumpkins managements side I'm simply informed on the venues side.

oh. i'll e-mail them then.

Yeah... direct events doesnt have as deep of pockets as Nokias operators/promoters do. This is a huge deal for them. They want to resecure them as an act, or at least break even on the advertising they spent as they pushed quite a few radio/paper adverts on this.

yup. twas me. not surprising.

god i'll be pissed if they dont end up playing here.

Obviously the Atlanta shows were canceled, but there is conflicting information(radio and venue websites) about the Austin and Dallas dates on Friday and Saturday. Are they canceled? postponed?

Many fans would like to know.

CRAP!!

well, i'm happy for the rest of you who can go....and i'm happy for jimmy who seems to be ok for the long-term...but alas i can no longer make this Austin show.

the only reason i was doing both was the proximity with the dallas show. 5 days apart, and on a tues just won't work for me. i'm lucky i can even fly back for Dallas.

so i'm going to call gettix for refund on these, but still go to dallas. i'm actually still flying to texas this weekend because the cost of rescheduling my flight is within $50 of takign a 2nd trip, so i'll just visit my friend twice.

From my follow up, the city is to blame for the date. it was too short of notice for them to get everything in order for a weekend show (apparently austin is strict on everything) and rather than lose the concert all together they opted to do a weekday show. Different permits and such needed for outdoor shows. Kinda sucks

On a side note he said the pumpkins camp was overly cooperative and apologetic.

On a side note he said the pumpkins camp was overly cooperative and apologetic.

this is definitely good to know.

also, for anyone who cares, gettix was very cooperative for the refund.

unlike ticketmaster they refunded the ticket service charge as well as the face value in full.....it was only the $3 credit card service charge they couldn't refund me.

glad to hear you'll still be making it to the dallas show, davin. :)

well, i'm happy for the rest of you who can go....and i'm happy for jimmy who seems to be ok for the long-term...but alas i can no longer make this Austin show.

the only reason i was doing both was the proximity with the dallas show. 5 days apart, and on a tues just won't work for me. i'm lucky i can even fly back for Dallas.

so i'm going to call gettix for refund on these, but still go to dallas. i'm actually still flying to texas this weekend because the cost of rescheduling my flight is within $50 of takign a 2nd trip, so i'll just visit my friend twice.

That sucks, but at least you'll make the Dallas show. I'm glad that I can still see them in Austin, but it sucks I can't make the Dallas show because my girlfriend was going to that one as well.

yea, 1 of 2 is better than none....and getting the refund on 2 austin tix will help me recoop the cost of the 2nd plane ticket.

hmmmm...i wonder what the break will do for the setlists...

that would be awesome...just heard that song tonight at a pizza joint.

but who knows, maybe they'll have some time to practice some Ma Belle... ;)

I can go to this show.. hmm tempting. i have like 4 hours before i have to make up my mind..

Why 4 hours?

that is how long i can get a good price on a flight out to Austin.. it would cost me under $300 to fly out and see the show.. the whole thing

didn't you say in another thread you were planning on going to the dallas show?

didn't you say in another thread you were planning on going to the dallas show?

ya but now the show is on a sunday and i am not sure i want to go

sorry davin, monte gets your shiner

austin is a fun town, come on down i say

If you end up flying out, make sure you drop by El Chilito for a puffy taco or two.

sorry davin, monte gets your shiner

oh we'll have another opportunity, i'm sure of it.

we're heading down to austin tomorrow for fun fun fun.

sorry davin, monte gets your shiner

well, i think i had my fair share this past weekend. went down to austin for fun fun fun on saturday (Explosions in the Sky, New Pornographers, Of Montreal, Battles, I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness, Headlights) and to denton for a punk/math-rock show on friday (J Retard and Don Cabarello)

the shiner and lone star was flowing A PLENTY.

I heard the Denton show was good. I was gonna go cause i live in Denton but a friend ended up getting free pit tix to the Hullabaloo show so we decided to check that out instead.

can't go wrong with a Lone Star though.

cool, i didn't realize you lived in denton. that would have been a trip if you showed up....not that we'd be expecting to see eachother or anything...

so, this morning on the dudley and bob show (local morning show) the hosts sister calls up. they get in a hissy about bands.

his sister says 'oh well i guess i can't go to the smashing pumpkins show...'

' YOU SHOULDNT GO TO THE SMASHING PUMPKINS BECAUSE THEY SUUUCKK!!! BAD!!!'

'yeah, well, they do suck...'


i laughed.

hahah... i love the dudley and bob show

have any of the ATX folks gotten the feeling that there are not going to be very many people going to the make up show? I know most of the people I know that were going to go the first time around decided to get refunds and not go to the make up show... I really hope that the show will not suck once the pumpkins realize that the venue isn't even half full

It probably seems that way, but the place will be full enough. I'm almost sure - I'm always surprised that certain bands can fill venues here in town, so I bet SP will have no problem.

i get that feeling too. i was going to take a friend, and when he heard it was rescheduled he decided not to go... mainly because it is on a weeknight.

weeknight concerts suck in austin. APD is even more obnoxious with the sound ordinance.

i also havent seen this thing advertised much, other than on 101x, but even the barack obama rally at the backyard gets more airtime than this concert does.

it will be interesting to see what happens, and how long/short of a show we get.

if it is under half full... ugh

i wish i could be there, i just can't pull it off.

tr00 my ass ;)

hmmmm...i wonder what the break will do for the setlists...

BODIES

Well well well, look what was soundchecked in Greensboro, NC on 11/8 ;)

(Along with Behold! The Nightmare, Beautiful(!!!!!), By Starlight, and Gossamer)

Less people is better! Seriously, who wants to go to a show and be surrounded by people who don't really want to be there? Untr00 fans, that's who.

it kind of drives me batty that they soundcheck these amazing songs, but don't play most of them during the shows. behold! the nightmare, bodies, geek usa, mayo, beautiful, lily, by starlight, xyu??? man. they should throw out all of the singles and put these in their place :) (yeah i know, never gonna happen. but it would be awesome, wouldn't it?)

I would die if I got to hear Bodies

so would i.

I would die if I got to hear Bodies

I hope you fucking do.

i really hope so too, guys :):):):).

I hope you fucking do.

Don't hate the playa, hate the game.

Everybody's blingin' and in da club!

so i still dont know what time i'm getting there, but if any of you crazy people want to meet up in the parking lot, i might still have some shiner left. pm me with some digits so we dont have to walk around like assholes.

and if anyone wants to be texted the setlists, let me know.

I get off work at 5, and will be driving straight there. I PMed you.

I'll be texting the setlist to a hipstersunited (http://hipstersunited.com/blog/) member in real-time tomorrow evening.

I can't wait until Monte posts HIS texts - HE IS THE MASTER OF INSTANT UPDATES BECAUSE ONE OR TWO SONGS MIGHT CHANGE ORDER!

In my 13 years in Austin I never went to the Backyard. Hope it's cool.

it's pretty cool, it'll hopefully be pretty nice and breezy

UPDATE***********

just got an email from gettix.net - doors now open at 6 pm and show starts at 7 pm, instead of doors opening at 7pm and show starting at 8pm... probably due to the noise ordinance, so the extra hour should give us a full set!

indeed.

you could still probably get there at 6:45 and be in the front row

am planning on getting up there around 530 or so and eat dinner in that shopping center, i don't know what is there but i'm sure they have a chili's or some shit like that... i def. want to be near the front although the venue rocks for seeing since it is on a hill

Edit: nevermind, a ride for my friend has been secured.

i should be getting there between 3:30 and 4. I will be a stocky red-headed guy with a dark-haired paki looking dude.

hope u guys have a good time tonight

< big guy w/ long brown hair. green shit, brown pants, maybe brown jacket. possibly wearing glasses.

i'll be down there around 4:30-5

Ouch, what'd you eat last night?

have fun you lucky bastards. i'll just sit here with my refund. :(

Want to apply your refund to the "JR wants to see Neil Young tonight" fund? Only $176 (including TM fees) for floor tickets! ;)

(It's sold out anyway... I'm on the fence about going over to the theatre to see if I can get a cheaper balcony ticket...)

So The Frogs or at least some of them are guesting at the show tonight... soundcheck so far incloodes "I Only Play 4 Money"

So The Frogs or at least some of them

There are only two. Oh, semantics.

i like how sp2 is playing a song titled 'i only play 4 money'

SERIOUSLY
the fucking irony
but its so fitting

There are only two. Oh, semantics.

I knew of 2, but didn't know if there were more. I never bothered trying to even learn more about them, Vieuphoria was enough for me

I don't know what's funnier -- if they play that Frogs song, or the HMMs where Billy has said something like "You didn't think we were coming back / We needed a little cash"

James is on stage!!!

We only play for money has to be the most ironic song ever played on stage this tour

fuck. del.

man this is why you don't leave pages loaded on your screen and then responding ages later. SO BEHIND.

they're playing taxman now too

TAXMAN!!! lol! awesome

fucking taxman? awesome! holy shit i hope we get some cool stuff in dallas!!

A nice long encore... that's cool. :rock_on:

Monte, your fake band-hate is the most annoying poseurish thing ever. Please stop.

did they play Disarm with the frogs?

i wondered the same thing but i guess since it's not noted that it must not have been :(

as is your blind adolation.

And is your userpic!!! ADBOCK TO THE RESUCEXORS!11!!!

i know, i have it on adblock too

Disarm was not played with Jimmy Frog. Check http://www.hipstersunited.com/ for the update. I just spoke to Andrew and it's confusing. He hopes there is video because we certainly pulled a nice Schoeps recording. :)

man i can not WAIT to hear that

what did the srv song wind up being?

what did the srv song wind up being?

Strangely, that did not come up in the conversation, given the mundane sequence of events that followed.

... Gee, you would've thought he'd mentioned that Stevie Ray Vaughan tease somewhere between "Billy on bass," "Jimmy Frog in a sports coat," and "crazy jazz jamming."

Sheesh, I'll have to find out later. ;)

as is your blind adolation.

"Adolation" is not a word, but mine is sincere. ;)

as is your blind adolation.

you have the whole fake band-hate thing going sometimes too, hate to tell you. but its ok, i'm sure it doesn't go over well in indie circles to like $mashing pumpkin$.

OMG THEY MADE A JOKE ABOUT B0LLY WE MUST PWN THEM
