Tickets are (still) on sale for two upcoming NYC-area I'm From Barcelona shows in April. The band from Sweden is playing Maxwell's before they play Coachella and then coming back to the area to play the Brooklyn Masonic Temple after Coachella (and a couple other California shows). The Brooklyn show also has Thao with The Get Down Stay Down (who is currently on tour with Xiu Xiu) on the bill and is only $10 (before fees) because Boost Mobile and NY Magazine are sponsors, BUT I have no idea what this means:

Bonus:
New York Magazine is including a 1-year (46 issues) subscription, a $7 value, with your ticket purchase.
*A welcome notice will be mailed to you from New York magazine with customer service information as well as an option to obtain a $7 refund, the value of the magazine, if you prefer not to subscribe.

The subscription worth $7.00 is free, but you can get $7.00 back if you don't want the magazine? Or by buying a $10 ticket, you are really agreeing that you will subscribe for $7.00 unless you mail for the refund?.....All dates below.....

* I'm From Barcelona play Southpaw tonight
* I'm From Barcelona played McCarren Pool
* more pics from Lollapalooza

I forgot when mentioning all the shows I'll miss while I'm away, that getting ready to go somewhere can take so long as well. Long story short, I never made it to the pool on Sunday - which sucks because I especially wanted to check out the NYC debut of I'm From Barcelona. Looks like it was a fun show...
