Tickets are $18 a night or $55 for all four evenings. The impressive lineup will probably induce a trip north for us. Anyone else catching this?
Posted by david on April 27, 2004I wish Polvo would have reunited for the show. I was such a sucker for Ash Bowie.
Posted by: thewicked on April 28, 2004 06:21 PMA Polvo reunion would be great but don't miss a rare chance to see Versus. My band played a show with them a few weeks ago and they were a fantastic as always.
Posted by: Craig on April 29, 2004 02:28 PMDOUBLE DYNAMITE! New wave covers, sung by the spawn of Grace Jones and Morrissey, with Ira Yo La Tengo on guitar. I'm glad to see they're keeping up their tradition of only performing on July 30th. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
