Don't show up hungry for Matt & Kim. There was barely any food at the Ra Ra Riot show last week, and this is the same deal.

oops! i had made the dark meat comment earlier, sorry, i hadn't scrolled down a bit further on the page yet!

Thank you for your interest but the Matt and Kim list is now closed.
thanks.

Maybe I'm not actually in since I didn't get an email confirmation, but when I click that fader link embedded in the 3:00 comment above, there is a picture of the event flyer, along with empty fields on the right asking for name, email, company affiliation, and if you're bringing a guest. I just signed up myself, and a friend, and both times it went to a confirmation screen saying thank you, that I was confirmed for tonight. We'll see, I guess.

wow. well, good luck. the only time i get the flyer is if i go here:
http://www.thefader.com/newsletters/bskm/
then if i click it, it takes me to the invite.html page.
is there a page like confirm.html or something like that that shows up after you enter the info?
i'd be willing to just print out the confirmation page if there is one (and it's not personalized) and try getting in with that.
thanks again.

Does anyone know why Jon Spencer's Heavy Trash is no longer appearing at the Scotty Hard benefit?
As of this morning several of the support bands still listed Heavy Trash on their myspace pages but neither Europa or ticketweb lists them.

Anyone get Efterklang's setlist from last night at Knitting Factory? Show was fantastic! Chris from Grizzly Bear showed up on stage and played with them during the encore. Fun Fun Fun!
