Upcoming Shows

[TallGuyCM]

Upcoming conflicts, if you live in LA:

10/26 - Matthew Dear vs. Flying Lotus

11/08 - Cat Power vs. Mount Kimbie vs. Titus Andronicus vs. Japandroids

My answer is Matthew Dear on 10/26, and a Cat Power > Mount Kimbie double dip in November, since I'm sure MK will start way later.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I will definitely be doing Titus Andronicus that night. Can't wait to hear/see the new stuff!

[IceyHotshot]

Earth and Bob Dylan are also on 10/26.

[cutterbutter]

You could catch someone else and come to the Santa Ana show on Saturday for Titus. Though I don't really understand the whole constellation/observatory rooms that night since someone is already in the small room.

Chris Brokaw of Codeine opening for Mono on Saturday at the Bootleg.

YES! So going to see Sunn O))) again

Sunn O))) and High and Fire are cool, but are Corrosion of Conformity some kind of joke I'm missing out on? I just listened to them for the first time and I can't believe how painfully generic and shitty this is.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Well, CoC kind of invented that sound.

[getbetter]

Looks like Im missing Sun O)))))) again.

How's Club Nokia? Interested in seeing Flylo but I'm used to seeing him at smaller venues. I wonder if he'll do the Infinity thing with the band again.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

It's fairly awful, but if you can get their early and get into the pit, it's good. They do first come/first serve for pit wristbands, about 400 people. Otherwise the ceilings are really low and the line of sight sucks. Sound is good pretty much throughout the venue though. Also the most ridiculously expensive drinks i have ever seen.

Constellation Room is the main part of the venue. The one that holds about the same as the el rey.

Its decieving. Yes more people can fit at club nokia, but you arent going to be far away if you are in the back. Get a balcony ticket if sound matters to you.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Yeah, it actually feels quite small inside. Even though it's way more than double the size capacity wise, it feels smaller than the Echoplex when you're in it.

For some shows dont they actually sell pit tickets so you dont have to get there early?

wrong, Constellation Room is the small room.

no..

shows listed as being at the Observatory are in the main room (capacity of right around 1,000)
shows listed as being at the Constellation Room are in the small secondary room (capacity 2-300)

[choice cat]

what PJ said

They did yesterday for Odd Future, it isn't guaranteed that every show willl have pit tickets though.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

If it's a hot show those are gonna sell fast too. but yes, sometimes it is an option.

[choice cat]

Sidenote on shows at the Observatory since they are booking good names and people actually want to go there..

parking is free on the observatory lot, and there is also a front lot that isn't advertised always that you are allowed to park in for free (directly in line with the marquee at the main entrance off Harbor.) They have signs that advertise $10 parking which is in an industrial lot near the Observatory, but usually you shouldn't have to mess with that so don't be tricked!

They sell tickets at the door usually with no door fee, and they allow you to pay Credit/Debit for tickets at the door as well. They give you an actual hard ticket as well for door ticket purchases which is pretty cool.

[suprefan]

Anyone wanna know why they are getting such good bands? The same guy who owned/booked Detroit Bar, bought The Observatory and is doing the same thing. Its working it looks like.

To continue the consistent praise/support that is always going on around these forums, thanks to The Scenestar/Oscar for tickets to see The Shins tomorrow!
