    I know they sold out back in November, only suggestion is Craigslist or try your luck on the night

    Yeah I was checking ticketmaster every day waiting for the tickets to go on sale not realizing that they became available only on the Vogue website. By the time I went there it was already sold out. I'm wary of buying off craigslist because supposedly the tickets are electronic only and I worry that I could get scammed if I don't know the person. So I guess I'll try my luck on the night of the show.

    I'll be scrambling for Ice Cube at the Commodore when the public sale begins. Yes, the Monster likes the gangsta shit. The Pixies will be great fun, but I've spent too many uncomfortable shows at the Orpheum with my knees scrunched against the back of the seats in front of me to look forward to it.

    Proggie, you've just made my wife's year!  She LOVES Jeff Martin. Just got two tickets. had to get two in case I never see her again

    :P

    Was up from 6.30 this morning trying to get tickets for the Pixies pre-sale. They had to delay it twice due to the site crashing, then when they went on sale at 10am, I had my tix in the basket, put in all my card details pressed send then the whole fucking thing went down again and then sold out. have to take my chances in the general sale now.

    I've got tix for Biffy Clyro, Foals, Mogwai and Avenue Q!

    Pejnam & GoF, glad you were able to get tickets to Jeff. I'm a big fan as well. Ever since seeing The Tea Party at the old Town Pump back in '93. 

    RUSH just announced some tour dates. No Vancouver though :( Closest is The Gorge on July 2nd... Very tempting!

    Yes they're amazing...seen them a few times now (in Seattle). Wish they would come to Vancouver. Blackfield is a little mellower and songs aren't as elaborate but I love the first two albums, and look forward to the new one in March. It's still Steven Wilson so I'm sure it will be a great show. And hopefully with a good turnout for the gig, Steven will want to bring PT here next time.

    i saw her twice at glastonbury in 2006 or 07. Good, not great.

    Just bought tickets for Jon Spencer at the Venue, haven't seen him before.

    Also kicking around the idea of KMFDM (august) & butthole surfers (sept) at the rickshaw. especially as i could tickets for all 3 gigs for the same price as 1 ticket to see the foo fighters.

    Caught Gomez years ago at at small little place called the Starfish Room.  Another great band called Mojave 3 opened.  That had to be 10-12 years ago.  yeesh.

    I have a couple shows in September that the wife and I will be attending. Bon Iver on the 25, and Ray Lamontagne on the 2nd.  First time for Bon Iver, but we've seen Ray numerous times, including an acoustic set at Richards.  Will be taking the kids to Yo Gabba Gabba in November, that counts as a gig, no?

    Have seen Gomez 4 times and were one of my favorite bands. Brilliant first 3 records. The last 2 however have shown a decline i m o. Prefer songs on which Ben Ottwells has lead vocals.
