virtualreason Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Just bought my tickets. Anybody else going? I'll see you there Mr. Teacherman! And through talking with the Twilight Sad at their show in Madison (phenominal btw), they confirmed they'd be opening some of the dates of this tour! I just hope Milwaukee's on that list....

tennisclay Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 when I saw the Twilight Sad at PFork fest I wasnt impressed either. maybe they werent meant for a 1 p.m. time or outdoors. but as your friend mentioned the guy pretty much refused to face the audience. the only time ive really ever seen a lead singer not face directly in front to the audience was when it was an arena and there people behind.

I heard this song while sitting on the toilet in the mall the other day... it was weird. I'm glad The National have made it to that level though. The bathroom music level...
