Not yet but I am going to look into it this week and at least find out when they go on sale. I will let you know before I get them.

Ali Rose · Feb 2, 2003

can someone tell me a bit about this band? what type of music? any bands or songs to compare them to??? I'd really like to know. Thanks

meegannie · Feb 2, 2003

Their three albums are all very different. The first one was very scream-y; on the second one the lead singer realized he could actually sing

, and was less noisy than the first album but still a bit hard; the third album is much less rock-y. All three albums have incredible, poetic lyrics, though and are each great (well, the first one takes some getting used to) in their own right (rite?). The lead singer's voice sounds kind of like Michael Stipe (but with a Scottish accent :drool:

) and they've been compared to REM a lot.

Ali Rose · Feb 3, 2003

Thanks Meggy!!! That helps!!! I may check out their most recent. :up:

meegannie · Feb 3, 2003

Glad you had a good time at the gig, coolhandlaura!!! Now I'm even more excited!! :hyper:

And I just read today that they're adding more US and Canadian dates to the tour, so maybe they'll headline somewhere near you, u2popmofo.

I wonder who's opening for them? :hmm:

8th: Baltimore MD, Fletcher's

I wanna go. :hyper:

Fletcher's...I think Haven performed there last October, but I couldn't go. :sad:

Sounds like a plan to me...
I will let both you and Megan know before I get tickets, then you can give me the go ahead or not. I will be driving from DC to Bmore, you would both be more than welcome.

I actually checked today, tickets are not on sale yet for the Bmore gig, but the shows that are on sale are $15.

- DiGi

dizzy · Feb 3, 2003

Yay!

Thanks, DiGi.

meegannie · Feb 3, 2003

GREAT!!! I'm so excited!! And if they're only $15, I can justify buying a t-shirt.... :mac:

I want one of the "Support Your Local Poet" ones.

jkayet · Feb 3, 2003

There are definite advantages to not being in London!

I don't want to hear another word from you, Ms. Backstage Pass. :shame:

u2popmofo · Feb 3, 2003

I WANT TO SEE IDLEWILD LIVE!!!

DiGi · Feb 7, 2003

Bmore tickets are now on sale. I was wrong about the price though....$12.

meegannie · Feb 8, 2003

Are you getting the tickets through Ticketmaster or can you call the box office and avoid the huge fees?

DiGi · Feb 8, 2003

Yep.

Thank you!!

u2popmofo · Feb 9, 2003

Finally downloaded Self Healer, it kicks ace. Any other b-sides or rarities that you recommend?

meegannie · Feb 9, 2003

I LOVE 1903-70 because it's about my favourite painter, Mark Rothko.

All of the recent b-sides are really good. I can't find my CD that has them at the moment, so I can't give you the titles. :reject:

Yup. I'd still like to go.

Aww, have fun you guys, that rules!! I'll tell a friend of mine who will be there - megan knows who he is - to look out for you guys!
