huh?

Annnnnnnnnd sold out.

how long did it take to sell out? i called at 1230 and they were gone

is this for real? did anyone actually get a ticket?

isn't CWK and Illinois at Mercury?

is this for real? did anyone actually get a ticket?

Huh? With CWK?

"isn't CWK and Illinois at Mercury?"

doors for this show are 12:30 am.

I got a confirmation for 2 tickets when the order went through though I had to refresh about 100 times. The show doesn't start until 12:30 am. ??? no confirmation email though which worries me.

i got a pair. whether i'll still be awake for it remains to be seen, however.

Thursday night...i have 2, only need 1. anyone want the other? cost= 2x beers

keep trying, got some eventually

they take the stage at 1:30am according to the box office.

I got two.

The show is after Cold War Kids. Doors at 12:30am.

just when you want to hate them for selling out and becoming too big (hammerstein..really??), they do something like this.

should be an awesome show!

I got 2.

" got a pair. whether i'll still be awake for it remains to be seen"

and your plans if you fall asleep? to waste two tickets?

the band posted on myspace about this (although probably after it was already sold out anyways), but they do mention the that cold war kids show is seperate from this

How much were the tickets?

10 bucks. 12.50 with fees.

Maybe because its the only venue they can sell out these days ?
I heard Hammerstein wasnt very full & the $50 a ticket benefit at Bowery didnt even sellout..... not a good start for their year...

yeah missed out on this one.. this is what happens when you decide to go eat lunch instead of stalking brooklynvegan..

damn it. got one. need one more. hell.

people still listen to this overrated band?

Is that extra ticket still available? Does anyone else have any extras

Extras anyone?

Can some one confirm that it was a 4 ticket limit per person? I got two, but had to get them separately, and don't want to get screwed trying to get someone else in.

hey anonymous...the show is actually tonight, not thursday night. well, technically its at 12:30AM thursday morning, but, you know what i mean.

COUNT ME OUT.

hey can i score an extra i never saw these guys before email me or call 9084056672 johnpaulg@gmail.com
Thanks

Hopefully CWK stick around. But any show beginning at 12:30am on a Wednesday night/Thursday morning what have you is insane, 38 and officially old and over it. If you have a normal job which means going in by 9am and you got to this show, you are a better man/woman than me. Enjoy. Maybe they can play a 7pm afterwork set next week.

CWK is supporting CYHSY on their European tour shortly, this must be a dry-run type thing.

boo hoo... i'm told old to stay up late... cry me a river... save the $10 you'd save on a ticket and buy yourself another throw pillow.

Hey no response yet, for those extra tix, whats the deal. Give a dog a bone?

12:30am IS a late start time for a show. cry me a river because your trust-funded ass doesn't have to get up for work the next day.

Ya I got an extra...an extra nut sack for ya'll to suck on!
(sorry i couldn't resist)

Rock on mutha fuckas!

throw pillows are more than $10.

Wow, you pegged it, trust fund. if only you knew. some of us just don't care about our necessary 7 hours of sleep. get it back on the weekend. oh wait, i'm sorry, you'll be at pianos or revolver drinking apple martinis.

I'm so proud to be a part of this great humanistic community.

wow, two shitty bands in the same night!

wait, are you saying there aren't appletinis available at merc ? if so i might have to reconsider my ticket purchase....

Saw CYHSY at seaport back when they were good.
The NYE show was one of the worst shows I have ever seen by anyone. Clearly too wasted to give a damn about putting on a decent show. It was a disaster. Don't be fooled by the venue, they gave up caring about their fans a while ago.

Anyone remember Tuna-tinis? Delicious.

get with it people. illinois are the best band playing mercury lounge tonight. hands down.

"CYHSY . . . gave up caring about their fans a while ago."

Sadly this is too true. It will be their major downfall as they try to outlast their peers. Their "we don't give a shit if people like us or not" stance is seeped in inflated ego and nearsightedness. And it all starts with their lead singer, of this there is no doubt.

And what the FUCK is up with the lead track on the new album?!? It sounds like something got screwed up at the CD manufacturing plant! Horrible way to open a record. Hell, horrible recording to put on a record!

do they sell tuna-tinis at the mercury lounge? i have to get myself one of those.

if they "gave up" on their fans, why put on this surprise show after midnight, for only $10.

the new years show was disappointing, but their spring show at bowery was a great time.

sold out? well, not right now it's not.

CWK=Yay
CYHSY=Nay

sold out...

back on sale a minute ago...

souuuuuld out again!

"back on sale a minute ago..."

is this someone messing with everyone?

Just keep trying.
It's likely from people that got tickets earlier but their credit cards were rejected.

Got 1 ticket for tonite!

just got two

how do you keep getting tix? craigslist? refreshing ticketweb?

fags

That's right too old, have been to tons of midnight shows (even recently, ryan adams over the summer on A FRIDAY), but some of us have jobs, lives, families and just can't keep going to these things as much as we used to, plus for us it's played out already you can still have your fun, yes I am crying river have some sympathy. I like this band and Alec solo and a 7:30 spot is ideal for us working folk, try it sometime cry me a river, or maybe you are just waking up or sleeping at your desk being non-productive or are at your no-show PA job or you have a DJ gig later this evening and have a different schedule.

Anyway I completely agree about the first track on this album. When I got the early download from Insound I asked whether there was something wrong with the transfer to mp3, that song, through a set of headphones is unlistenable, who ever engineered that cut needs to find another line of work, or the band should spend some cash on a real engineer. The rest of the album ain't bad sounds like a watered down Remain in Light influence and a slight departure from the original guitar work (which was their hook)

These guys are good, they just have to get a little more serious, it's weird because Alec solo gigs seem much more genuine, throughout and serious than his main band. It's to early for CYHSY to be mailing in shows.
