Anyone else have an opinion on what else is a "don't miss this show"?

Wow, DiGi, have fun!! Ok, you totally know what I'm going to say... THE FRAMES. Are they at the TLA? They seriously are AMAZING live. I have no misgivings recommending a live gig of theirs...an album...eh...I could see people not liking it. But a live gig...if it's anything like the others I've seen and what I've heard, it's worth it. Of the others you aren't already planning to see....I'd personally go for Stellastar and Howie Day. Both I'd go to if I could...
I hope this sting of good gigs lasts through when I'm back in the states!

WAIT. I'm home Oct 11. *PANICS* Ok...Umm..I'll have JUST gotten home and be totally broke, but...MUST consider this. I can drive to Philly...sure...

 

[DiGi]

[DiGi]

Just added Travis - Oct. 23

this is just becoming ridiculous.

 

[jkayet]

No, no, not ridiculous...
I loved my about...2 shows a week average when I was in dc...might have to return to that lifestyle. A job to finance it would be nice though.

I need people in the cincinnati area to go to shows in the autumn/winter...or I just take up residence on the couch at my old flat in dc... 930

 

[DiGi]

9:30 Club RULES!
