So I heard from a pretty big MMJ fan that I recently met that they are going to do some US shows in 2009, one if which would be at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. Anyone have any info on this at all? Hope I don't start a huge rumor here, if someone's positive it's not/won't ever be true feel free to shut it down......
Is your friend a well-connected big fan?
Was it stated off the record? (Come on.) ;)
Bowery Ballroom sounds great to me! I'd be willing to bet they will play some US shows in 2009. I'll give 10 to 1 odds.

I'm with you on that one BH. They don't have it in them to
not do some shows this year...they love performing too much. I'll bet their U.S. touring will pick up mid-summer to the end of the year. That's just a guesstimation.
A repeat of the Louisville Waterfront show would be nice about mid August.

I can't really see them playing the Bowery at this point in their carrer, although it would be awesome. Morrisey is playing there in March though, so who knows.

So you finally convinced them to play the backyard concert? Saaaaweet!.
I think they'll take a break and make another album... They've already said it's already in the works. Either way shows or an album will be equally great.

eh, maybe not august. its so damn hot and sticky in august.
i say the waterfront in october. that would be the bee's knees.

I don't know, if I remember correctly that waterfront Arcade Fire show was in October a couple years ago and it was pretty fucking cold...
2009 tour? Pretty please with sugar on top?!
i don't really think they'll tour in 2009. i think JJ will tour w/Conor and M Ward--(summertime?) but after Bonnaroo, RCMH and NYE--i think they'll take a break because anything now would be a let down. they'll probably let the last 6 months sink in :-)
There's an interview with M. Ward in the latest Rolling Stone that says something about the Monsters of Folk project being on hold until 2010. Make of that what you will...
no way they play bowery.
not a chance.
there wouldn't even be enough room for patrick's groupies let alone the other dudes. :P
After playing MSG on New Years I highly doubt they will play a show at such a small small venue.
QuoteAfter playing MSG on New Years I highly doubt they will play a show at such a small small venue.
That makes me so sad. I love the tightness & closeness of the crowd when you can hear only the band and not people discussing work or babysitters. Plus I love my constant wondering and worrying for days if I'll make it to the front... Boo I hope they do some small venues.
QuoteAfter playing MSG on New Years I highly doubt they will play a show at such a small small venue.
I don't think playing MSG means that they are at a certain standard now and can't ever go back to small(er) venues. Granted, the Bowery does seem a bit tiny in comparison.
two cents:
they'll likely play some shows. it's how they make a living. [smiley=beer.gif]
still, that time between the end of the okonokos tour and the start of the e.u. tour did seem like a long time...
if this does turn out to be a spare year for US mmj shows:

If anything I believe that the band will return or attempt to land their feet in Europe, playing a few nights in UK, then mainland Europe, given they have missed two tours there in the past few years.
I know for a fact that radio station's are playing their music and the band's manager is maybe saying "we need to tap into this market"
Its a known fact that bands from USA need to make their name in Europe and bands from UK & Europe need to make their name in USA.
If I were a betting man I would say they will show up in Europe this summer at a lot of the festivals with supports shows in small venue's.
They are not too big for small venue's
I think we're more likely to see one-offs and festival-type appearances. I think their name is too big to not play at all. But an official tour is unlikely too.
What needs to happen is someone needs to start a fan club like Pearl Jam and that way real fans have access to tickets if they play a small venue. Pearl Jam played Irving Plaza a couple of years ago and had tickets for just fans. Prince played the Nokia theater in Times square it was a last minute booking and I was lucky enough to get tickets. Bowery is possible. It's all in the approach. I believe the MMJ will always play the small venues. They could do a beacon run in NYC similar to the Allmans. You never know how Jim James and the boys could blow our minds. Let hope they don't pull a Ryan Adams!!!

NOt really an offical one, no. I mean, I'm sure we all are fans here, but Pearl Jam has an actual fan club, The 10 Club where you pay annually and they send you stuff and you get first crack at good tickets and stuff. Yeah.
Pearl Jam's fan club is legendary, but does it still cost a lot of money? I was in it for a few years but the "dues" became burdensome just to get a christmas present.
Still, a similar type of venture seems to suit MMJ perfectly. They, along with PJ, seem to be one of those rare breeds of bands that actually give a shit about fans and truly feed off them.

10 bucks a year was burdensome?
It's 20 bucks now. Still, that's pretty darn cheap.
Well, it's not that it was expensive, but I'm cheap. Plus as a college student my money was all tied up in other endeavors. It was one of those things that I loved so long as I didn't have to pay for it.

Sounds like a plan to me. :)
I agree MMJ should take the ten club route. There is no better fan club than that. For example, they do a lottery system for fan club tickets were the first, second, ninth, and tenth rows are randomly distributed. This summer I won front row seats to the Camden show!!! Not to mention you get access to a million other things. Come on MMJ jump on board.
I'd venture to say REM's is better, and it still only costs $10. They actually send their newsletters and holiday packages out in a timely fashion. ;D And the holiday package is great; usually a CD, a calendar, and some stickers. This year it was a live DVD, which is pretty awesome.
I say they have some kinda of "back in the day" show at the TWICE TOLD COFFEE HOUSE, or whatever happened to that place, even though i believe it got torn down but either way that would be epic!! :D

as the spring progresses, we'll have to start something in the music forum.
something to consider: since travel dough may be tough for people this time around, maybe we have a couple satellite events.

how do these jacket fests work? it seems like a lot of people here are in the NYC region...if there's a satellite one I wouldn't mind helping it be set up. I know for a fact there are $20 campsites with more "modern" bathroom facilities out in North West Jersey off route 80. It's also where Friday the 13th was supposed to be based

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! ;D
well by looking at the stats over the past few years, the boys usually dont schedule anything until may or june....and they sure as hell havent had any shows in january in awhile so this kinda has me scared in a way. i would love a new album but i havent seen them in like 2 years now...got my fingers crossed for 2 things now...a new tour after a break for them of course, and my economic stimulus check that will go straight into their pockets! no whammys no whammys!!
just for the boys though,
i am tired of giving my money to widespread panic. please play close to home!
so jacketfesters are the official fan club? do you get a decoder ring and individual badges? maybe belt buckles would be more appropriate. do you all run around in capes?
for my fellow New Orleanians... I am still holding out for the magical evening to mid morning Jacket performance to take stage at our great venue of Tipitina's. I know its a long shot, but hey Wilco did a two night stand last year bring it on...
although Two-Tone might bring that place down :D :D :D

i'll be selling the tickets through AMightyTicketPirateMaster and it will be open for those who really want to see the band (not drink beer and shout out meaningless conversations over the music) There will be no extra charge for the tickets just a flat charge of.... oh I don't know, $15 sound good? All are welcome to the movies afterward. We'll rent out a theater just for the band and the fans. ;D ;D

They played last year at Festival Pier in Philadelphia that, while not a park, is indeed on the waterfront :)

great venue (have seen a bunch of shows there) but it was the most disappointing of all the mmj shows i saw last year. they seemed very tired.
then again after seeing bonnaroo and rcmh, most the shows were a little bit of a letdown.

One time I was a few blocks away and I saw a dude about 5 minutes after he got stabbed. This was right before the Bisco/Flaming Lips show last Memorial Day.

I dont know that Id call it great. It just seemed like your standard 10000 capacity, general admission, outdoor city venue to me,
Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special about it either that I gathered the couple times I was there. Plus, there isnt any lot is there? [smiley=thumbdown.gif]
it's a great outd00r venue, with many food options, and anchor steam in bottles...what else do you want.
it's a winner in my b00k.
