I think the show should be 18 and under. Nothing like rocking with Franz on the holiest day of the year.

does printing your myspace profile just mean printing your first page? or do i have to add that profile to my top 8 or something?

I thought franz was playing with DCFC tomorrow at the Hammerstein? Is the free show taking place before/after the DCFC/Franz show?

Posted by john | April 13, 2006 12:55 PM

Free show is at 3 pm, before the show people paid $65 for :)

Posted by Zoey | April 13, 2006 1:12 PM

It was $50 not $65. and I paid to see Death Cab.

btw- does anyone know who is headlining tomorrow night?

Posted by Anonymous | April 13, 2006 1:31 PM

i'm pretty sure the cribs are headlining tonight and tomorrow night

Update: 2:00, still "a lot left."

Posted by Amrit | April 13, 2006 2:01 PM

That show is $50????? That's insane. Screw both bands for charging so much. And if you're going to do a secret show, could you have it somewhere that doesn't hold, what, 2,500 people?

Why don't they just say Free Franz sponsered by MSN? Come on! Corporate sponsorship crap!

Why don't they just say Free Franz sponsered by Ruport Murdoch? Come on! Corporate sponsorship crap! By the way Franz is such a yawn.

Posted by this is so punk | April 13, 2006 2:43 PM

Why's $50 so bad? You're seeing two headliners that just this fall charged about $40 to see each separately. And for all the haters, it's a free show, what's to hate on about that? Are they SELL OUTs for doing a FREE show?

Posted by closetocfan | April 13, 2006 2:45 PM

you could see a shitty band for free tomorrow, or you can see two great ones- The Black Hollies and Holmes tomorrow night at Maxwells

not a street teamer; I just know better

But did you hear about the secret Arctic Monkeys show with The Streets and Sondre Lerche opening at Sine at 2am? You have to stop by Soundfix and have at least 5 start tattoos on your body, then you will be presented a coupon to purchase limited edition Addidas Gazelle's at the secret Addidas store in Chinatown. Anyone wearing these special shoes will be allowed to enter Sine and a few will be selected "at random" to attend the after-party at Freeman's. This is the show to be at.

Posted by matt | April 13, 2006 4:07 PM

it was so funny that it had to be posted twice!

Posted by thigh master | April 13, 2006 5:01 PM

Update: 3:30 same, still "a looooooot left."

Posted by e | April 13, 2006 5:54 PM

Do we still care after 2004?

Posted by Ryan | April 13, 2006 11:14 PM

just got mine around 1015, a lot of them left!

Posted by brian | April 13, 2006 11:27 PM

Is all the hate on this post just from the people who have to work on Good Friday? I was almost gonna spend 50 bucks to see these guys, (cuz they're that good live!). Now I get to see them for free, and all I had to do was give in and finally join MySpace. thanks again, BV...now, who wants to be my friend?

Posted by Matt | April 14, 2006 1:30 AM

if they still have "a lot left," I'm concerned that I'll go to this show and get sardined because they may be giving out too many bracelets.

Posted by mina | April 14, 2006 10:49 AM

"giving out too many bracelets"

they're not giving out 3000 bracklets. I'm expecting that room to be E-M-T.

Posted by jerry | April 14, 2006 12:19 PM

there's a secret wresting match on saturday night between Jesus and Elijah....

but Elijah has stated publicly that he will not fight unless Jesus drinkes at least one glass of wine....

no response yet from the Jesus camp...
