you gettin tix at the door? I was gonna get them beforehand but figured there's no increase in price as per the met website. Also what time? I've seen both doors 7 show 8 and doors 8 show 9? either way prob will make my way in round 9-930ish

[capt. scotty]

I was considering trying to hit up a show sometime soon, but I just looked on their facebook and it says theyre playing Pittsburgh June 7th (no venue named)...Well, thats cool but confusing

[Ruckus]

Well, here it is.  Lolla and Bonnaroo finally announced along with Allgood among others.  Looking forward to hitting one DC and one of the two hometown shows in late May.

Im there, thanks Ruckus!

not sure but I know the 5/10 Met date Joe Fletcher and the Wrong Reasons are opening up...who always play with Deer Tick..but I didn't see McCauley on the bill??

Yeah Bold, you're more in the know about them.  I just took this off of Colmus' (J Roddy's Drummer) blog.  I figured they've become such good friends since they toured together that McCauley was doing 'em a hometown favor to bring in the crowds because I know they haven't made as much of a dent in the NE (Boston etc.) market yet.  Maybe it's just Joe Fletcher now.

EDIT:  Just asked them on FB.  Hopefully an answer comes of it

I wouldn't be surpised if The Wrong Reasons also open, they have played with the Tick in the past seems like they are all pretty close. In fact they opened the War Elephant re-release show with Those Darlins several years back and it was a blast. Both openers would go well with the Bizness and Deertick is playing NH 2 days earlier so it seems that they'll be around.

P.S. anyone else friends with Deertick on FB? They posted something that they are going into the studio in a few days and taking cover song suggestions!!!

PS Deer Tick is playing the Met..same venue, on 4/28 I believe with Johnny Corndawg.

Tick will be there tonight according to fb.  Don't know if they are playing.

[wolof7]

I figured Deertick would make an appearance as they have been recording their new album down the street at Machines with Magnets studios, gotta get my drinkin pants on this is gonna be a night!

If any peeps'll be there I look like the guy in the first post of the last page of the memberpics thread, and I'll be wearing that blue bear shirt

J Roddy's set time directly conflicts with Buffalo Springfield at Roo!! Are any of you J Roddy freaks going to Roo, and if so, what are you going to doo??

I love Buffalo Springfield, and it's fucki* Neil Young.......

HELP

Okay that's what I was leaning towards...I just needed someone's blessing, thanks for the sagacity.

It's still going to kill me though when Springfield is moaning Broken Arrow and I can hear Used to Did burning down the Cafe Where?

[ALady]

Rough slot for the Business.   :P

Dont worry, they like rough slots

[ALady]

I was gonna say I left that one wide open, but...   :embarassed:

[Ghosts_on_TV]

I dunno. I think I might go see J Roddy. (I know)

[EasyRyder]

I dunno. I think I might go see J Roddy. (I know)

I might do 30 minutes with J Roddy and then go catch the last hour of Buffalo Springfield....the only problem is there will be A TON of people at the Which Stage for BS since it's the only thing going on at the time (except for the eminem phans waiting on the rail).

I can't believe I'm complaining about being able to see Buffalo Springfield and J Roddy within the same 1.5 hr time span  ;D

[capt. scotty]

I dunno. I think I might go see J Roddy. (I know)

At first I thought "might?" but then remembered the BSpringfield from the last page. Despite my obvious Roddy fandom, I think I agree. Sure, seeing BS is a once in a lifetime deal (at least for probably 98% of MMJ fans' lifetimes), but for a festy like the Roo that just feels like it would be a downerish, past their prime set. If this was Zeppelin or something getting back together, I get the argument, but yinz all know the Bizness will be in prime form and put on a rockin set.

I also might be leaning that way because Ive never seen a packed and rowdy JRoddy show, but even if I posted here that Id go to see Buffalo Springfield at Roo a month from now, Im guessing that when I was actually there, Id probably overrule and see JRoddy  ;D

[EasyRyder]

Im guessing that when I was actually there, Id probably overrule and see JRoddy

It sounds to me like it's all boiling down to be determined by the intoxicant of choice for the evening. ( i.e. if my handle of warm whiskey is gone by Saturday niiiight....etc etc).

Well, Im not going to Roo (at least I dont think so and now my car needs fixed almost assuredly), but basically thats what I was getting at...Or purely if youre just energized or dragging I think it makes it easier which to go see.

Now that I just thought of it though, considering how much of Bonnaroo is streamed, Im sure it would be much easier to watch BS set after the fact than JRoddy

[wolof7]

Why no guitar tabs for this band on the interweb? I've searched far and wide through the tabs sites....I would try and figure it out but I am somewhat tone deaf.....anyone figure out some basic chord structures or know where I can find some tabs?

[subinai]

going to see them at bk bowl tonight
