Zoo Station returns to SLIM'S // Friday, May 29, 2009 //

ZOO STATION PRESENTS: ZS 180
Since U2 are bypassing Northern California this year we thought we'd try to provide the next best thing to the real thing by building this show around songs from No Line On The Horizon and doing our best to preview U2 360*.

*Erm... that is... without the Robocrab or round stage.

But what we do have ready are no less than 7 songs from the new album including 2 that will be making their Zoo Station debut. The 85's open with their versions of hits from the 80s and we are proud to have The Hormones (All Girl Ramones Tribute) in the support slot.

Tickets Here

Also... we have some Twitter related coolness planned leading up to the 29th and are working on have a real-time request Tweet incorporated into the show as well. Will you follow?

 

[Miringeltje]

If .........
your eyes make a circle,
that's 360,
right there.

And I will.
Follow.

But am not on Twitter.
No net on my phone either.
Still a really cool idea though : a real time request tweet.

 

[Sicy]

I'm there!




Slowly trying to get over my SF OCD..

 

[Miringeltje]

I'm there!

Yay!!!!!

 

[Sicy]

Wanna pick me up?

 

[Miringeltje]

Hahaha!
Of course, I will.
Had so much fun carpooling last time.

 

[Sicy]

Yay!!!

 

[skott100]

It's a Zoo Station Miracle. Sicy's in SF more than I am lately, and I LIVE here.

 

[Sicy]

Haha and I'm actually going to Slim's this Friday to see This Charming Band.

But see, I'm not driving, so its all good..

 

[skott100]

Have fun! I would totally be there but I'll be at NIN/Jane's Addiction in Mountain View. Hope you can get there early to see the Joy Division and New Order tributes. I wish the shows were on different nights.

 

[Sicy]

I love New Order, I definitely want to see them too. Have fun at NIN!!! Say hi to Dave for me.

 

[Sicy]

Slim's is in a perfect location.. right off and on the freeway. My kind of place.

 

[skott100]

We'll be giving tickets away all week on Twitter starting today! Follow us!

 

[Miringeltje]

Good thing I already bought my ticket.
That makes it easier to stick with the promise I made to not join Twitter.
Otherwise, I would be in major trouble for sure!

 

[RedRocksU2]

Is that New Order tribute band Love Vigilantes?

 

[Sicy]

 

[RedRocksU2]

They are GREAT!

I saw them for that 80's thing at the venue that was called the Universal Amphitheater.
You will not be disappointed.

I have them in my Myspace

 

[Sicy]

Haha check the dates, I already saw them.

 

[skott100]

Good rehearsal last night! Who's ready for 7 songs from NLOTH tomorrow night? I think that's more than U2 know at this point. Right? Could be some YouTube moments. Let's just hope they aren't Keyboard Cat worthy!

 

[Sicy]

What songs?

 

[Miringeltje]

Here's my guess :

NLOTH
Magnificient
MOS (snippet)
Unknown Caller
Crazy Tonight
Boots
Breathe

 

[skott100]

In Interference speak: GOYB, NLOTH, MOS, UC, IGCIIDGCT, Breathe and Magnificent.

 

[Miringeltje]

Hahaha!!!

 

[Sicy]

Thanks Sicy! Nice work, as usual. Love the drunk guy singing the french horn part! Reminds me of this guy.. YouTube - Weird guy singing in the shower, Lalalala!

 

[Sicy]

!!!! Yeah totally!

And what about that drunkard in the front that the staff had to finally escort out.

 

[Miringeltje]

WOW!!!!
Beautiful pictures.
Amazing video.
Sicy!

Brilliant show.
to the band

So much fun hanging and dancing with friends!
to all.

The drunkard in the front could be the one attempting the French horn part, I think.
