I forgot to mention, RogueRanters, that a band I’ve been listening to for quite awhile now has recently caught on out here; is actually playing at Webster Hall. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I don’t know how much you all might’ve paid for your tickets, something like $22?
Hate to break the bad news, but don’t exactly expect greatness. Have seen ‘em, and when they’re good, they’re A-MAZING. When they’re bad (which is like 90% of the time), it’s just seems a bit like some incoherent hippie fest that starts late and you’d wish it end early. (You don’t want to just leave early, because you paid $ for it.)
But that was in LA. Maybe New York will be different? My advice: go with expectations of mediocrity, so if they’re awful it’s not such a far drop and if they’re good then it’s not such a far rise. LOL.
I guess that’s what happens when you fall in love with a band full of hippies; you fall out of love with them ’cause they’re a band full of hippies who can’t show up on time or perform up to par with their record.
BTW, I have extreme reservations about Webster Hall anyways. It’s always a bunch of really young people trying really hard to look and act cool in my experiences. It is 18+, actually, so that makes a lot of sense. Not really my scene there, but if you dig it, then get on with your bad self.
Have fun!
