The Brand New? You need to get laid, Dick Tracey!

SUPPORTING JAPANDROIDS GETS YOU INTO HEAVEN.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

the only thing I find exciting about any of this is a new season of It's Always Sunny!
Posted by Anonymous | July 11, 2009 4:27 PM
I would SO hit Japandroids if it were anywhere but Pianos! ugh...
I think I'll see the Brand New instead.

Does anyone have an extra to japandroids? My brother needs one. Thanks!
Posted by Anonymous | July 11, 2009 5:37 PM
@5:31 - yeah seeing japandroids in a sub-100 person venue is going to totally suck.
Maybe you should Brand New kill yourself instead.

Amazing how there's multiple comments on Brand New yet BV still never recognizes whenever this great band plays a local show.

that's because it has nothing to do with the Vivian Girls or Crystal Stilts.

japandroids KILLED IT.

They definitely did, but I wish they played more of the great songs on Post-Nothing instead of shit off their old EPs for half the set. I was also saddened to hear that they don't EVER play Wet Hair. I hate when bands have songs they refuse to play live.

I Quit Girls would have been great too.

they've been so negligent in posting that that it almost feels as if it's intentional. doors were always 2 pm last year, iirc.

If you search the web, you can find the set times.
