best concert EVER
I just got heard about and got tickets for what could be a totally sweet concert. Are you ready for the line up? Are you ready? I don’t think you are.
But here goes: Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and the Postal Service; Mark Kozelek of Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon and solo work; and Eric Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive— just kidding, he’s from the Archers of Loaf. I like all those bands and the solo work I’ve heard from the first two and solo stuff I usually like more than full band stuff, so I’m pretty excited. Additionally, it’s at Great American Music Hall, which is a great venue, especially for the acoustic stuff.
It’s a tsunami relief benefit concert. If benefiting tsunami relief is this good, I should give all my money.
I bought three tickets. Judit? Dale?
Other concerts I have tickets to or will probably soon:
- Early Day Miners 1/25 at
- Mates of State 2/23 at Slim’s (part of Noise Pop)
- the Polyphonic Spree 2/24 at Bimbo’s 365 (part of Noise Pop)
- Portastatic 2/25 at Bottom of the Hill (part of Noise Pop)
- Low with Pedro the Lion 3/29 at Great American Music Hall
- Magnolia Electric Company (formerly Songs: Ohia) 4/30 at Bottom of the Hill

Thanks to your post (complete with links) I now know that both Mates of State and The Polyphonic Spree are playing NYC this month – and thanks to your post I now know I will be missing those shows because I have to be in Pittsburgh for the Steeler games. Thanks a LOT Adrian!
