March 2008: Opening Acts

[territa]

WEW AND Billy Bragg!!?? Whoa this show is gonna be amazing!

And I've still got an extra ticket for the 16th which I would like to mail to or hand to someone in person from this forum... I'll have to list it on eBay pretty soon so as to get it mailed timely, so don't think about it too much.

[territa]

According to Ticketmaster, opening in NY will be:

3/15: William Elliott Whitmore, Marseille Figs
3/16: WEW, Billy Bragg
3/17: WEW, Ollin

Wow, Ollin as well on the 17th? that will be the greatest concert ever.

And I agree there, saw Ollin here in SA last year -- y'all are in for a real treat.

And I'm definitely looking forward to W.E. Whitmore after the rave reviews he's gotten here.

Lucky f@#%ing bastards. I love Ike Reilly. He had been on hiatus recently. Glad to see he is back in action.

[O'Loingseachan]

Thrilled to know who the opener is going to be.

Thanks for the info DZM!

I'm expecting to be pleasantly surprised by Urban Voodoo Machine. I took a quick look at their web page. If they are interesting enough for the Pogues to pick (Spider?), then I'm sure it will be great.

No foolin' - they look interesting enough to drag myself in the club early.

Well I hate the Dropkick Murphys, they've dreadful lyrics. Can't say I plan to catch the opener.

I liked them. They were interesting to look at and they got the crowd going. Sounded interesting. Violin player had a lot of talent.
