BFD 2007

I don't know about you, but I think $30 is a small price to pay to catch Bloc Party, Social D, Interpol, QOTSA, Kaiser Chiefs, Cold War Kids and Silversun Pickups. Of course Sum 41 is on that bill, too. Pitchfork has their jokes (don't they always?), but let's be honest, this is a solid bill at a solid price. Shoreline Ampitheatre is a great venue, as well. But, maybe that's just me getting nostalgiac...

Tonight @ 9:30 Club: TPC & CWK

***SOLD OUT***
Doors 7:30
Delta Spirit 8:00
Tokyo Police Club 8:45
Cold War Kids 10:00

I'm hoping my Fantasy Baseball draft ends in time to get out for Cold War Kids. If I don't make it, Top will be our eye in the sky.

It seems like only yesterday we were planning for V Fest, catching drummers break sticks while wearing gasmasks and watching Tokyo Police Club set Warehouse Next Door on fire.

Tonight: Cold War Kids

I just talked to one of the gentlemen at DC9. I was trying to get an idea of when Cold War Kids were getting on stage. This is of importance because I will be at The National at Black Cat, but have hopes of catching Cold War Kids because they are so fucking beast. Details: it all depends on the earlier sets, but the best bet is to get there before 11:00. Good chance they are hopping on stage betwixt 11:30 and 12:00 EST. My chances of making this set? About as good as me staying sobah all night long!
