Mission of Burma playing Williamsburg Waterfront w/ Ponytail & Fucked Up... ++ some live pics from Maine

well then. holy shit.

Mission of Burma = best reunion ever. they did it for all the right reasons, wrote new music that stands up to their old shit, and still bring crazy energy live. show @ Bowery last summer was fucking intense.

Sausage party alert!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome

best news ever

Thank you for hiding for the moment BV skeptics and obnoxious complainers. This is one very sweet 3 band line-up. So cool!

Wow....that made my month. Amazing

I'm circling this date now.

Holy shit!
I'm requesting-off from work today!

Awesome. Will they have a new album out by then? The Obliterati is one of the best albums ever.

its an awesome two band bill ! (I'm excluding Ponytail)

Sucks that you work on Saturdays...

it's a sunday

Misson of Burma is INCREDIBLE live... the recordings dont do them justice... a must see

It's a Sunday

this line up will def attract more than 5 thousand people. are we gonna have one of those nightmare rsvp/stand in line to get in experiences?

Yes 11:23 you can expect long lines and many people not getting in to this show. I don't know what fool came up with that number of 5000 or 6000 people being able to fit in the Waterfront. Much smaller than that for sure.
And just like the Boredoms show, my friends and i will be cutting the line on all you fucks to make sure we get in.

Bye.

Much smaller than that for sure...My friends an i...make sure we get in...by far the most annoying post on this already annoying site. What the fuck do you know about capacity? You work for the parks dept? Shut the fuck up.

Oh 11:46 douchebag, I am so happy I made you so angry. Now go suck my dick bitch

space is a great venue, more bands need to come up here and play there

And lest we forget: http://roint.sdf1.org/images/miller.gif

i actually think everyone will probably get into this one. mission of burma, despite being mighty, are like a bowery ballroom sized band still. so are fucked up, and ponytail.

free tv on the radio, everyone got in, free ted leo, everyone got in. both awesome, of similar sizes to these two bands.

mgmt was the only shit that got full and closed, and that is because they are a major, popular fucking band that frat dudes and stupid fancy girls love.

so, i dont think this one is in danger.

This will definitely hit capacity. All of you coming in from Staten Island & Jersey shouldn't even attempt to come over here...you'll just be wasting your time and will have to turn right around.

Did anyone else go to the free Solar 1 Mission of Burma show last year? To say capacity wasn't an issue would be kind.

i also really don't see these bands, as great as they may be, be able to fill to capacity. no way popular enough

the average draw for these bands will be doubled by the number of people who will come b.c. it's a free show. and 50% of those people will know one mission of burma song (and will think it was written by Moby). that's all.

"Did anyone else go to the free Solar 1 Mission of Burma show last year?"

Thats news to me, never heard of it. Considering they sell out 400-600 capacity venues, and using the 10x multiplier effect for free shows, Id say MoB can easily fill this place to capacity.

who likes ponytail?

"using the 10x multiplier effect for free shows"

*chuckle*

no way that this will be an MGMT-style disaster. Only crazy-hyped buzz bands have that long of lines at these free show (like MGMT and Vampire Weekend last year).

Just in the last few years I've seen lots of free summer shows that I got into without hassle: Hold Steady @ McCarren, Ghostland Observatory @ McCarren, Breeders with Matt & Kim @ McCarren, of Montreal @ McCarren, Neko Case @ Summerstage, Rodrigo y Gabriela @ Summerstage, Yo La Tengo @ Prospect Park, The National @ Seaport, Animal Collective @ Seaport, Camera Obscura @ Seaport, Sharon Jones @ Summerstage, Spoon @ Rockefeller Park, Fujiya & Miyagi @ Seaport. Not one bit of trouble getting into any of those shows.

"Sharon Jones @ Summerstage"

???

They stopped letting people in before she even started. It was very packed.

@ 1:54 - they did stop for a bit but then opened it back up and let a lot more people in.

Hold Steady, National and Animal Collective shows mentioned in anon1:30 were all in the rain.

Breeders at McCarren was complete clusterfuck, with lines and other nonsense.

actually, 12:54, we can just leave earlier to shut out most of the brooklyn transplants from getting in.

Seaport? They don't have a limit there so it doesn't really count. I think it's the best policy, just let people come and go and police themselves, like it used to be in Central Park.

I like Ponytail and Fucked Up, not so much Mission of Burma. Also I think getting in to this show won't be so bad.

MoB and Ponytail are phenomenal live bands, always.

have anybody ever been to this "waterfront"? It can not hold anywhere close to 5000 people, and there will be a long line down Kent Ave no matter how many people show up because of the entrance bottleneck.

MEHssion of BurMEH

HA!

"MEHssion of BurMEH"... NO. STOP, NOW!

Fuck, it really sucks that I work on Sundays! Maybe I can get a sick day.

2:53 hahahahaha! you beat me to it damn it.

Mission of Burma is so the opposite of MEH, that they've come back around and became HEM as in "MoB is so fuckin incredible, I don't think this guy gets tHEM."

Correction - Sucks you have to work on a Sunday

8,000 capacity on the waterfront bitches!!!

FYI about the Solar1 show last year. Grizzly Bear was slated to headline that show and was advertised as such within NYU. There was no general advertising though the show was open to the public. Grizzly Bear had to back out at the last moment. (week to 10 days before hand) Burma was asked, accepted and it was fun.
Nobody would expect them to draw 5000 folks. It's free, it's summer and it's a blast of a bill.

Does anyone know what time the show starts?

Ditto. What time do you think mission of burma will go on? Time Out says 2:00, MOB's myspace says 8:00--help

It's my first time to hear about Mission of Burma. Are their songs good? By the way, great photos, it's hard to take photos during a band session, but photos here are great!
