Fans of Sigur Ros, Bjork & other stuff will want to check out Danish band Under Byen, signed to Paperbag Records (Canadian home of Tokyo Police Club & Magneta Lane) at the end of July, and dubbed "band to watch" by Stereogum soon after, this Danish eight-piece is about to visit North America. "Giant Sand are such enormous fans of Under Byen, that they have reunited just to play these shows..."

I think they're scheduled to go on at 7:30. I'm not sure if you have do anything special, or just line up at the door though.

…"People go crazy,"..."They love it. Everyone's like, ‘Who is this?' I don't tell. Because I don't want someone putting their phone up and recording it and making a ring tone off of it. "I think when people don't know it's me, they won't judge it. But if they know it's me, then they'll be like, ‘Ugh.' They won't even dance." - Paris Hilton

Are all these your guitars?

Mercury has another show listed on their calendar for that night, so I just called the venue and the dude that answered said he doesn't know anything about a free early show that day.
Posted by Anonymous | September 13, 2006 12:08 PM
It's actually a private/invite only show and you need to be on the guest list for it, that's why it's not listed on the Mercury Lounge site.
Keep visiting the Paper Bag Records website for more info in the coming days...

Does anyone know the details? Last I heard there was some question as to whether this was actually happing...
Posted by Al bo Bal | September 20, 2006 2:36 PM
Hey Folks,
This show is definitely happening and the only way to get in is to go to the Paper Bag Records website and rsvp for tickets.
It's a private show and you need to be on the guest list to get in...so don't sleep, visit the site and get on the list before it's too late.
Team PBR.

I take it that RSVP'ing does NOT guarantee admission, even if one is informed that one's name has been added to the guest list.
Posted by Team MGD | September 20, 2006 3:33 PM
One would think that if you are informed that your name is on the list... you are on the list. Has anyone heard? I didn't get a response from the e mail I sent to them... yet. Fingers are crossed.
Posted by Al bo Bal | September 20, 2006 3:37 PM
if you're on the list you just need to get there early as it is first come first served, if people are there at 7pm it should be a problem to get it...
