solace Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 shucks. apparently these are with Okkervil River Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hey Brianne, it looks like the dates will work out for you vis a vis Colin... Yes! The same newspaper article that mentioned the Colin show also mentioned this one. I didn't know Okkervil River was supporting, though! It'll be quite the week for shows for me! Well, the month should be pretty good as a whole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 apparently these are with Okkervil River yeah, in my haste i forgot to mention that not-so-insignificant fact. haha. i'd like to get to one of these shows, although i'm sad the madison one won't be at the barrymore. maybe the Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Does anyone know if Neko and Bejar will be along for the ride this time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 The newspaper article I read specifically mentioned Neko being in the lineup; no mention of Dan. Won't he be touring with Destroyer around that time? Now if they were only coming to Madison, too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It's annoying that we have to ask if Neko and Dan will be along for this tour. They aren't the New Pornographers without them. Both of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiokills Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 uuugh Ithaca is so far away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Ithaca is far away from everything. I've gotten so used to having to drive three or four hours to see a show. It will be nice to only have a 10 minute drive if I decide to go to this one. It looks like it might be somehow sponsored by Cornell, because their students can get a discount. The State Theatre website says Neko Case will be with the band, which is strange considering she just played here at the State Theatre a few nights ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm going to the Pontiac one I think, it's only four hours from here and this is a pretty great combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ms. yvon Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 paul, to answer your "is everyone touring in april" query: coachella is at the end of april. the start of the festival season! well. maybe that's march. sxsw and all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both of them. Cosign. I might go because I adore Neko in any setting, but I'm really going to miss the Bejar songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lizish Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Cosign. I might go because I adore Neko in any setting, but I'm really going to miss the Bejar songs. I dunno. The niece from Immaculate Machine is very good. But, you're right no one could fill in for Bejar. Still, whatever one usually gets from this band is typically superb.

tugmoose Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 The niece from Immaculate Machine is very good.Very nice voice. Just doesn't have those Neko Case BALLS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still, whatever one usually gets from this band is typically superb. They still do Bejar songs even without him... I've seen them three times, and I swear the one Dan-free show had more Bejar songs in it than the other two put together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
