What's going on Wednesday? (St. Patrick's Day & SXSW)

can't believe their bowery shows aren't sold out yet

actually, the bowery shows are completely sold out.

Jimmy G in the place to be. Murphy's Law are always a good time.

"actually, the bowery shows are completely sold out."

Actually @10:30, you are a complete and utter moron who knows nothing about nothing. More tickets were put on sale yesterday and more will be avail today and tomorrow. Not to mention some sold at the door for both nights. You obviously have no clue as to how Bowery Presents works.

Arsehole.

Anon 10:30 is a scalper trying to get rid of his +1 haha

wow, what's with all the hostility 11:17?

all I'm saying is that you can't get tickets from ticketmaster, at least not now.

They released more tickets yesterday, but they only announced it through their fan-based website, so most people who learned through blogs liek this and could not get tix on regular sale still are unaware of the fact
Maybe BV could post a link, these shows are going to be amazing!

I just checked ticketmaster, and was able to pull up 2 tickets for tonight no problem. 10:30am is definitely a scalper.

This time I was able to get tickets. Still, thanks for being a dick, 10:30.

@10:30,11:21, No that is not what you were saying. You were trying to look like an authority and telling people the shows were completely sold out which is untrue. You are a fucking idiot.

Although this is kind of stupid. All this over the Scissor Sisters. Unless you are gay or a faghag these shows are not a big deal. Are the Scissor Sisters even relevant anymore. Not that they were that good a few years ago anyway.

people are angry. i think if either of you have any balls, describe yourselves and show up outside the show and settle it. i'll be there too and i'll pay you each $10 to fight.

I would like to ask mister 11:35 what bands he considers "relevant" or "good" and what is his criteria to select those bands from the others
Everybody has the right to listen to and attend whatever shows they want. If the SS are too "gay" or whatever to you, then why are you even reading, let alone posting, on this thread?

"The city is going to be deader than normal this week and weekend due to SXSW" = "shows will be a lot more fun to go to this week because they won't be full of irritating bloggers and industry people."

@11:57, This is 11:35 here,
The first thing i have to say to you, my homosexual friend, is that this thread is about what is going on today in the city musically. Not a Scissor Sisters specific thread.

I understand how you may have mistaken that. You got your panties all in a bunch because someone insulted your heroes.

Yes everyone has a right to listen to what they want. Never did i say something to the contrary. Let your gay flag fly dude.

Listing bands that are better or more relevant than Scissor Sisters though is just way too easy so I will not even bother.

U2 3D at Brooklyn Bowl

No talk of hitting it??? What has this place come to??

@1:30, I would tear that ass up

lol u people are queer

without any intention of getting involved in this argument I must say to 12:26 that anonymity gives you power, wonder if those words would ever come out of your mouth if you were to meet this band's fans in person...

3:03 Up your nose with a rubber hose!

Yeah 3:04, because telling a bunch of gay guys that Scissor Sisters suck is truly a scary thing to do in person. Maybe second only to screaming i hate black people in the middle of South Central, La

You can scream I hate black people in Williamsburg whenever you want. No repercussions.

Scissor Sisters suck, i am shocked that this is still even an argument

I'd hit it like a fat midwestern American at an all-you-can-eat Chinese Buffet!

Back off, I saw her first!

RIP Alex Chilton, you will be missed.

Thank you, friends, indeed.

Keep him - and others - in your prayers.

Spin "Thank You, Friends" in memoriam.

Stop arguing about garbage bands like the Scissor Sisters and go listen to a Big Star record. Alex Chilton was one of the greats.

Big Star rules

She looks delectable in that pic.

wow, she's lost some weight...

woooooooooow

asobi seksu's singer looks hot.

Yeh, I was going to comment on her, then had to wade through all this ticket crap.

Guggenheim billed it as a performance piece and it was just an installation. Resultingly, the crowd simply waited for the "show" to start, limiting anyone's ability to freely explore the space (the ground floor was packed with indian-style seaters, and the balconies were lined with people holding onto their spots like grim death.

it makes no sense for them to deconstruct the entire TD North venue to play a show the next night ~50 miles south at an amphitheater (which probably would require a different stage setup anyway). They'd play Providence or Mohegan Sun before that (and I think those are both highly unlikely).
