Posted in music | tour dates on August 23, 2006
Dr. Octagon, Sunset Rubdown, The Mountain Goats, Xiu Xiu, Okkervil River, Mojave 3, Voxtrot, and Beirut (two upcoming nights each) have been topped...by Gomez*....
Gomez will be performing three nights at New York City's venerable Bowery Ballroom -- October 5, 6 and 7. As we head towards the end of 2006, Gomez will be coming on ten years of performing together and so the time is nigh for a couple of throwdown gigs. These will be unique shows -- a deep immersion into the Gomez repertoire, additional musicians perhaps, and plenty of mayhem. In a couple weeks we'll be announcing a special West Coast event as well, so stay tuned.
All tour dates at their site.
* Gomez's last NYC show was at the much larger Webster Hall.

Beirut playing two shows at Bowery is an absolute joke. Is Bowery turning into the new CBs?

controversial.
more power to gomez...one of the very few brit bands that could ever cross over with staying power...even if its with smelly hippies.

I love that I get to see Gomez without putting up w/Webster Hall for a change...

weren't these guys the first 90's era indie band to sell a song for corporate advertising?

some of you need to shut the fuck up about Gomez doing 3 nights. they deserve it and can and will sell it out. beirut, two nights. not necessary. glad mojave 3 isn't at webster and two nights to choose from or both.

"have been topped...by Gomez*...."
Actually, in order to for something to top another thing, it has to be better.
Just sayin'.

How dare they play 3 nights for fans who want to see them!
Only bands from Montreal with guys playing drainpipes and tubas to guys who look like Mork with their arms folded the whole time should be allowed multiple nights at The BB.

"guys who look like Mork with their arms folded the whole time" - they're just introverts, leave them alone

At shows, I fold my arms because that feels more comfortable than letting them hang down by my side or sticking my thumbs in my pockets.

To hell with 3 nights -- only bands worth a damn should play ANY fucking night at bowery. And that doesn't include Gomez.

gomez are an awesome live act, and unlike most indie bands out there, play for more than an hour.

They were great at Webster Hall, and I'm glad to see them at the Bowery.
And Dork, you should be dancing at shows, something 80-90% of NYer's don't do. Not standing around with your arms folded.

Broken Social Scene!!
seen Gomez live...there was nothing to blow my mind away.

this is as good as it gets people. the bowery knows what they're doing, and if you haven't seen gomez live, TRUST ME MOTHERF*CKERS, buy a ticket and get your ass properly blown out.

i love that hipsters are so sullen and gratuitously negative that they'll even bash a band like gomez; good thing there is a place like brooklynvegan for you to spew, otherwise i'd have to walk up and down ludlow st. to appreciate your self-important glares and smirks

hey pinghead, no one, not even the MIGHTY GOMEZ, is above good old gratuitous, snobby, negative-as-fuck, glaring, smirky Bashing. So i'll do it again: they eat butthole.

YOU. Thou whost proclaimeth Gomez as butt feasters. Have you seen them live - do you know what the fuck you speak of??? NAY SIR. They are not a hipster bullshit band. They are not a stinky jamband. They're a killer fucking live act. Your life will be improved by a Gomez show. Or three.
