any fleet foxes tix available??

who are the fweet fwoxes?

they are teh suck!

ive got a pair

off topic question:
anybody know what time to expect albert hammond jr. to go on at hiro tomorrow night?

i liked them better when they were called my morning jacket.

10pm for albert hammond

or even after that when they were band of horses.

they sound pretty fucking good as the fleet foxes.

Anyone know what time the BV Commenters shut the fuck up tonight?

@ Anon 3:54

I think the same time Daft Punk comes on.

people calling these guys MMJ ripoffs are victims of lazy journalism.

hey did anybody notice that in am ny today they put the same dates and places for fleet of foxes shows and
damon albarn shows is damon albarn secretly playing with fleet of foxes

if it's not an error those darn kids who brought those fleet of foxes tickets are darn lucky especially for union hall!!!

hmmm
listening to the mp3's i wish i had brought tickets damon albarn or not

lazy journalism? come on. they're a fucking my morning jacket wannabe. at least band of horses did something slightly different and took a few more influences than fleet foxes.

Well calling them MMJ ripoffs is incorrect but wow a moron calling someone else lazy. Now that is the pot calling the kettle charcoal.

that is an absolutley terrible remix of that song

i don't exactly think those words are synoonyms

but whatever tomAto tomato, moron lazy ...?

IMO, Fleet Foxes write better music that MMJ and Band of Horses. They preform better than the later, though I've not seen MMJ yet. The similarities are useful for description, but are pretty superficial. They are way less rockfish.

"They are way less rockfish."

yes, fleet foxes are certainly not rockfish

"IMO, Fleet Foxes write better music that MMJ and Band of Horses"

ha, someone had to finally say that. I like it.

see MMJ first. then discuss.

i knew that as soon as a fleet foxes post goes up, someone will rear his head to yell "they suck!" in fact, any band mentioned here inspires unsolicited opinion, and no justification for that opinion other than "they suck."

ahh, music "fans."

my god, that remix is fucking wretched.

remixes are typically second rate to the song

i guess what i'm trying to say is that there is no need to bring up my morning jacket when discussing fleet foxes. it's not a good comparison. fleet foxes would never do a song like One Big Holiday and my morning jacket would most likely not do a song like Heard Them Stirring.

in conclusion, look past the vocals.

if you listen a bit, they actually sound more like grizzly bear.

my morning jacket can do anything though - jim james and the vocals make that band what they are - not just one trick songs like one big holiday.

have you even listened to evil urges??

Guys, this is Jack at Union Hall. Please do not buy any tickets via Craigslist because Ticketweb tickets are NON-TRANSFERABLE. You will need your ID and credit card you purchased the tickets with and your whole party with you to enter the club. That goes for guest list as well. I just want to save some people the heartbreak of showing up and saying they are using someone else's space. Not here, sorry.

Grace, thanks for that long winded and completely unintelligent and nonsensical comment

Sheesh, idiot

i didn't say that MMJ *couldn't* do a song like Heard Them Stirring. i said that they most likely would not...given that they've just totally embraced all of their soul/funk impulses.

and yes, they can and should do anything they want.

right back at you 5:21

In GTA4, BOHAN, in Liberty City is the Bronx not Brooklyn. They're tour schedule should have read BROKER, Liberty City not BOHAN.

i like grace6697, she seems like one of the few commenters on here who actually like music.

the dc show at black cat sold out in advance also. tried to get tix the day before to no avail.

these guys look like they're into voodoo and stevie nicks and shit

That is cute. Grace is posting as Anon to give her self some love. Pathetic but cute.

I mean cmon a comment like MMJ would not do a certain type of song because "they've just totally embraced all of their soul/funk impulses." is just stupid and completely wrong. As stupid and completely wrong as any comment trying to say FF rip off MMJ. It does not show a love of music. It shows a complete misreading and shallow view of the music. The record MMJ just released has many different styles on it. The concerts they have been playing recently contain many different styles in it. FF are a young band with only one full record out. Robin Pecknold is a smart young artist with his musical head and heart in the right place.He and the rest of the band will grow I am sure to have some diversity in their music as well.

but right now - they just sound like my morning jacket. except shittier.

are all brooklyn vegan readers so damn petty and silly?

"but right now - they just sound like my morning jacket. except shittier."

Again, another lame attempt to try to attribute a comment to me by using a capital i to look like an L. It will never work you fool but keep trying.

"are all brooklyn vegan readers so damn petty and silly?

Posted by brookyln people are insufferable whiners"

And lame and tools and losers and unintelligent and not clever, witty or funny etc etc. Seems that way.

Whoops did it again. Forgot to sign off on that last comment(7:08)

BTW, Fleet Foxes are great and so are MMJ

is this not possible?

where am i?

you can't use only 3 words of the song and call it a remix

I LIKE DANCING WITH MYSELF.

MMJ = FLEET FOXES

I LIKE DANCING WITH MYSELF.

MMJ = FLEET FOXES

"are all brooklyn vegan readers so damn petty and silly?"

have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years?

I'm offically excited about this show.

I'M TYPING SO HARD I MIGHT BREAK MY MACBOOK AIR!

holy shit it was so hot at the show last night

anonymous 9:10-agreed. why only 3 ceiling fans were turned on, i have no idea.

Have two tickets available for Bowery Ballroom show. Asking $40. Email: vwjettahoboken@hotmail.com

Anyone have tonight's set times?

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON TICKETS FOR THE MIDNIGHT FLEET FOXES SHOW AT UNION HALL TOM NIGHT? IT WAS JUST ADDED.

Wow. They were incredible!!

Ticketweb says tickets go on sale at noon Thursday for the midnight show. $12.

frankly, grizzly bear is better than MMJ/Fleet Foxes AND Band of Horses

fleet foxes are like an unintentional parody of all things "indie rock" - if they were singing spinal tap esque lyrics i'd at least be impressed that they at least know how contrived they themselves are.

You are shut up Mr. 12:33. Seriously. Grow a beard. Come with us.

holy fucking shit was that amazing.

The Set List:

1. Sun Giant
2. Sun It Rises
3. Drops In The River
4. English House
5. White Winter Hymnal
6. Your Protector
7. He Doesn't Know Why
8. Crayon Angels [Judee Sill Cover] (Robin solo)
9. Oliver James (Robin solo)
10. Mykonos
11. Blue Ridge Mountains
(encore)
12. Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (Robin solo)

Fleet Foxes were very good, but boy is Robin Pecknold sick. He downed five or six bottles of water over the course of the 50-minute set, and it took four songs for him to warm up his voice. He sounded noticeably better from White Winter Hymnal on. He was also sick the last time they played, but this time around the band looked really beat, their set lacked the joyful stage banter of their last show. I don't know how he'll do tomorrow night, performing two sets in his condition, but I'm pulling for him.

A few other notes:
-J. Tillman is a really good percussionist (the songs have a more defined beat) and his vocals add a lot of depth to the songs. Mykonos is a near religious experience with him.
-I had a truly love-hate relationship with the crowd. While I admired their ability to cheer for (and lift the spirits of) an obviously ailing Pecknold, they were a little obnoxious. Clap after songs, don’t clap for ten seconds just because your favorite song just started. Also, don't hoot, holler, or whistle in the middle of a song. I don't care if Robin just uttered your favorite lyric or if it's your “jam,” bro, you’re a cocksuck.

I messed up the set I think.

Sun Giant -> Sun It Rises -> Drops In The River
English House
White Winter Hymnal
Your Protector
Ragged Wood
Crayon Angels [Judee Sill Cover] (Robin solo)
Oliver James (Robin solo)
[Missing Song]
Mykonos
Blue Ridge Mountains
(encore)
12. Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (Robin solo)

wonderful, but really short show.

Short? They played nearly all their songs.

LOL the spinal tap of indie beard rock. future song titles include:

A Grizzly Bear's Soul
Peyote What You Owe Him
Denim Chakra Love Child
Nug Champa
Earth Abides
I Am Soy In Love
Sleep with the Beavers
Truly Patchouli
Gold Digger (featuring Jamie Foxx and Pearl Jam)

quoted for posterity from anonymous in other thread:

fleet foxes are kind of like the first time i heard the shins. it totally changed my life.

No "He Doesn't Know Why"?

theres another remix of this song that i like better by black dominoes.

anyone who thinks FF is anything like MMJ has never witnessed an MMJ show.

not hating on any of the bands, i just think they are different. duder in FF does sound a little bit like jones, but that's about it.
