Ditto on the sleigh bells tickets question, i really have to go to a record store to get them? what's the likelihood they'll be sold out at the door tonight?

When I went to the store last saturday to buy tickets for Sleigh Bells, they had sold half of the tickets. My guess is that, with all the buzz around, it will be sold out tonight.

Anyone going to the record store - it means going to brooklyn now - then going back - which means work in the way of work...unless someone has an extra they can toss to me for cash and a beer

yeah Living Days Passions Blast Off! is going to be a much better show... sleigh bells playing with MIA doesn't carry as much excitement as it did months ago

Couple of things about Sleigh Bells,

Advance tickets are sold out but if you really want to go just show up at the Temple. There are always tickets sold at the door even when Todd says sold out. Not to mention there will be plenty of people with extras outside.

M.I.A. is not showing up tonight. Are you guys stupid? Last week was a surprise. Now that the word is out and she knows people are expecting her to be there do you really think she would show up?? That is not her style at all and she avoids that shit like the plague. There is not even a listing for "special guest" anymore. It just says friends. It is not her.

Finally, Sleigh Bells does not just suck live. They suck. All you lemmings hyping this bullshit will forget about them in less than a year.

tickets at the door? sweet!

I'll be at Phosphorescent thanks (after LOST of course).

I'll catch Sleigh Bells when they undoubtedly play a Jelly show and DESTROY on the big stage with a huge sound system.

Is there a line at Other Music yet?

What's happening at Other Music? Is U2 playing there or something?

I doubt there's gonna be a line across from OM for the National Pop-Up Store. There's not something really exciting there tonight AND that place is huge.
