holler

"and the Damned show at the Blender on NYE is cancelled"

What is your source on this? I have tickets to the show and just checked officialdamned.com where they list the other cancellations and nothing. I am assuming they canceled the other shows to let whoever is sick recover for NYE. I would imagine they wouldn't cancel that, if at all, until day of.

YYY message board says secret NYE show is at Blender Theater. Entry is limited to "gold-level" fan club members only.

go to the gramercy website, it says it's cancelled on there and to get refunds from point of purchase.

Regarding the damned at blender:
"Sorry! This concert has been cancelled. If you purchased tickets to this show, please contact Customer Service for further assistance."

John Dwyer/Sam Hilmer, Golden Triangle, Child Abuse play Market Hotel 8:00, $8.

The Damned have cancelled the entire Northeast USA tour due to Dave Vanian apparently getting the Flu. He is at home in England in bed. FInd something else to do on NYE.

Damned! Damned! Damned!

whoever is trying to do feelies/yo la tango + mmj is not ever going to make both.

nice try though.

Dave Vanian will be performing various nose blowing and coughing vocals in his bedroom on London on New Years Eve. Captain Sensible will be down at the local pub.

I have xtra Patti Smith 12/31 tickets - if any one can't make it to the Damned!

Who wants to see my penis?

anyway for regular people to get into the YYYs show?

Sure gonna miss the Knitting Factory. Anyone going to that show? I can't make it, I'm gonna do heroin.

ah neat neat neat
you can't afford a gun and ammo
you can't afford a gun at all

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv stranners I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

any info on yys?

Is there a Patti setlist from last night out there?

Aren't the YYYs in London new years?

Trombone Shorty @ Sullivan Hall
Bad Plus @ Village Vanguard

how do you even become a member? cant even find it on the yyy's site. cant even find the nye thread. and will this even be worth it, is is was certainly not good at all

Been to a few YYYs shows and they have ALL been well, well worth it.

well then, how the hell do you become a "gold-level member"? anyone?

this whole "gold-level member" thing sounds made up. actually... the whole damned thing sounds made up. anyone have a link that says ANYTHING about this show? no? thought not.

and who cares anyway? MMJ on NYE!!!!!!

mmj is true crap

they are in london new year's eve people,

your mom is true crap.

2:07, prove it

Not planning to stay through YLT's set (sadly); I had enough during Hannukah.

...but anyone who consciously chooses to miss a Feelies show? Seriously, though?

So thanks, 12:08, for the heads up, but I have my night well-planned. I'll moblog for you.

Also: Trombone Shorty is kind of one of the best shows I've ever seen. Kid's got it.

10:24 -- Earl Greyhound is on at 11:30, and they are playing a full set.

Do any Orthodox Jewish people go to Matisyahu shows? Not being snide, just curious. Having said that, he kind of is really annoying.

feelies shows at maxwells this past summer were fucking excellent.

I was dragged to one of the Matisyahu shows at Roseland last year... and, yes, there were many orthodox jews there.

And there were a bunch of them outside after the show handing out mini-menorahs to the faithful and chocolates to the gentiles.

i think ill just go to zooey deschanel and ben gibbards wedding

I saw Matisyahu on this weekend. Only a small handful appeared to be orthodox. He has many fans, of various backgrounds.

My Morning Jacket is complete shit.

My Morning Jacket at The Garden for NYE is complete shit with streamers.

anybody know set times for knitting factory hipstravaganza? P.S. I get embarrassed when people ask me what I'm doing on New Years and I say, "going to the last show at the knitting factory." And they're like "who's playing?" And I have to tell them bands I know they have never heard of named, "deerhoof, deer tick, akron family, megafaun and the dirty projectors" But hey it beats their plans.

yeah, theyre all kinda "meh" bands, arent they. oh well. its not like the knit is going away forever. bk is a better spot for it anyway. at least its closer location is nice for us long islanders,

HEY BROOKLYN VEGAN....... don't you think that it's time you updated this page? You have three mentions of the Damned playing shows that aren't happening.... and haven't been happening for about 24 hours now.....

There is nothing on the YYY message board about a NYE show anywhere. Some people just get off on speading bullshit rumors.

Hey December 30, 2008 5:30 PM

The guy's been busting his ass to keep this site current all freaking year. I think he deserves A LITTLE vacation, no?

If a show isn't happening, throw it in the comments and let people do the further research on their own if they're unsure.

HEY ANON5:30 - BV made it clear that updates would be sparse because it's the HOLIDAY SEASON. Have you no other way to entertain yourself or get show info. Try www.ohmyrockness.com and relax.

3:36, LOL me too. yeah, could someone give set times for the knitting factory? do you guys think there will be a countdown?

there will be a countdown to extinction. dave mustane will spray you with his man champagne.

All this and more, little girl
How about on the floor, little girl?

hey BV you're neglecting a pretty monster show at vanishing point...

Anyone know set times for the knitting factory tomorrow? Wondering if it's worth hitting up after midnight.

just came out of hiding. Catching up. Damned posted. thanks!

Mike Doughty Show was fun. It was a Question Jar show but I had no idea. The people in the audience apparently didn't know either and the question jar (in this case, question milk crate) was pretty light. Doughty had to send out the question crate for refills about twice. Also, Scrap was hysterical. He was talkative and kept making random comments that made me crack up. He switched between guitar and cello.

Setlist:
Thank You, Lord, for Sending Me the F Train
Tremendous Brunettes
The Only Answer
True Dreams of Wichita
I Just Want the Girl in the Blue Dress to Keep on Dancing
Down on the River by the Sugar Plant
