Portchester Openers Rumors

[SauceGod]

Dream:                                 
27 - Dr. Dog
28 - M. Ward
29 - Charles Bradley

More Realistic Guess:
27 - Calexico
28 - The Felice Brothers
29 - Shabazz Palaces

I'm doubting it will happen but I'd be completely blown away if Felice Brothers opened for them. Who can I bother to make this happen? MMJ twitter or something like that?

[bluesky]

dream:
dean wareham!
dr dog
yo la tango

[Bigsky]

Delta Rae would be nice

[baconus66]

I highly doubt its going to be Calexico but I would love to be surprised.  I think they are going to stick with more regional bands, but I guess if I'm making the trip so can Calexico.  Seeing Going to Acapulco live would be worth the whole trip

i know they're at Maxwells in Hoboken on 12/30 and Mercury Lounge 12/31 ...so at least they're in the AREA--I'd LOVE that..

dr dog

I'm right there with ya bluesky!  I am hoping Dean gets a night as he is NYC based and he did come out and play with them in Brooklyn.

Alberta Cross would be another good choice for an opener as well.

I just hope that Shabazz Palaces isn't one of the openers...

Yea they're definitely in the area (they're from Upstate NY anyway) so it's possible. Just not sure if it will happen. I honestly feel like it's a great fit as their newest album (Celebration, Florida) reminds me of MMJ in the sense that they've altered their sound and are doing more with production/effects. This would make my weekend.

Talked with the lead singer of Floating Action tonight and I asked what was next for them and he said they had a show with MMJ for one night of their three night run in December  He said the 27th but I don't think he was 100% sure which show. Just though I'd share with you all.

[e_wind]

well i guess that confirms that hes not playing multiple nights then

Excellent work, Grey!

disclaimer: i wouldnt mind multiple nights of floating action, if there had to be multiple nights of anyone... im just curious about these openers. they matter almost as much as the set list right now. they could add so much more joy to this trip if theyre 3 good ones.

[baconus66]

Well I've never seen Floating Action but from the reactions of most here it sounds like this is a good one.  I'm excited

[e_wind]

I´ve never seen FA either, but his music is fantastic. Desert Etiquette is the first record i heard by him and its awesome. I'm new to his other stuff.

I didn't realize that it was just Seth on the studio albums. This makes me a little upset that I got everyone to sign my "Fake Blood" vinyl but I guess that's not a huge deal. Anyway, I enjoyed Floating Action but the crowd sucked so there wasn't any energy. I think they'd be great with a MMJ crowd. They also had two drummers which I thought was interesting.

[oistheone]

Damn, I was really hoping Seth would open all three nights. I find myself cheering for the guy and this would have been some real nice exposure. Either way, some is better than none!

I enjoyed the two drummers when I saw them play at Forecastle.

i really wish they'd book the openers and announce the stuff together..

But if they did that, we'd have even less to talk about right now. I'm sure they were thinking about us when they didn't announce the openers  :happy:
