this Saturday night is a little insane
Shudder to Think @ the Baltimore Virgin Fest (more by Bao Nguyen)
Every show we've ever played in NYC has some surreal brain-Polaroid attached to it: 1st time playing CBGB, 1st show after I went into remission, last show with Shudder To Think, 1st show with Boy George in the house, etc. I also have perfect memories of historical shows by other bands at Webster Hall (then The Ritz) in the late-eighties, including one that Nathan and I attended in '87, where a then-unknown Guns N Roses played for about 200 people, after which I vowed never to wear underpants again, such was the sheer force their tawdry excellence.This Saturday: Shudder to Think is playing Webster Hall. Hot Chip is playing Terminal 5. Common and NERD are playng Roseland. Fleet Foxes are playing Grand Ballroom. Jenny Lewis is at the Apollo. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are at the WaMu Theater at MSG. Stereolab is at Irving Plaza. Glasvegas is at Mercury Lounge. The Kills are at MHOW. Crystal Stilts/Cause Co-Motion/Tyvke is at Death By Audio. Etc...We at Shudder To Think are fairly certain that the combination of all of the above (history, location, no underpants) will make for a fucking amazing show on Saturday.
Come XO!

NICK CAVE

Cave. Easy decision.

It's a good thing Glasvegas is starting late. You can catch them after Nick Cave. Webster Hall is a better place to see Fleet Foxes on Sunday anyway. And then start the new week with Andrew Bird. Next few days will be good.

Does the WaMu have a curfew? This will be my first time there. It would be nice to catch Extra Life after Cave.

Uhhh yeah... but Union Hall kicked both of those.... 94 people... mmm intimate.
I thought the acoustics for Sigur Ros at the Grand Ballroom were amazing... it's well suited for a reverb loving band... just bring EARPLUGS.

Anyone here a regular attendee at Webster Hall? I've never been. What's security like? Do they pat you down at the door? Any metal detectors, etc? What are the chances someone will sneak a recorder into the venue? I'd love to hear a recording of Shudder To Think this Saturday.

What are the chances of making it to Tyvek after the Nick Cave show? I'd also be curious to know the MSG curfew time if anyone knows it.

too bad crystal stilts and glasvegas aren't on the same bill -- it would be battle of the standup female drummers.
