Thank you BV. Stars is one of my favorite bands and I just assumed this sold out long ago. Just bought two tix on Ticketmaster and paid the service charge to those evil bastards, but sometimes it's worth it.

I absolutely love the Sad Robots EP. It feels like a return to form for Stars to the band I fell in love with. For much of IOBATW, I just couldn't get into the material like I had been able to with the previous albums.
