March 2008: Opening Acts

[Eric V]

So, .....here we are......anyone have any news about opening acts in D.C. or Baltimore? I'm kinda stuck on who to take to which show until I know. Might even end up with an extra ticket. Not sure.

Called both places and they have no info yet.

Tossers website has them finishing their European tour in Dublin Ireland on the 6th, then in Chicago on the 14th, D.C. on the 15th, then Wisconsin (a great place, btw) of all places on the 17th. I'd put two bucks on them opening in D.C.

No news on the openers for the Windy City?

I hope they're going to do regular length shows at Roseland. I'm concerned about 2 opening acts each night....NYC shows need to be finished by 11:00 PM.

Each opening act will get a half hour or less. The Pogues usually come on stage between 9 - 9:15 so the show will probably be over by 11....I think haha

When it's our name on the marquee, we always do our full current show. Festivals vary.

Thanks for the info and the link. Sounds a bit like Tom Waits sitting in with the Reverend Horton Heat.
