Upcoming Shows

LOOP was fucking spectacular tonight. But good god, was that Church on York unbearably hot inside. I can't even imagine what it'll be like when we get to mid-summer...I'll still go to the Thee Oh Sees show I have a ticket for at the end of the month, but other than that unless it's something I'm dying to see I'll very likely not go back until closer to the fall. Which sucks, because they're getting ridiculously good acts.

Does the Church get as hot as CFAER?

The Black Keys - 2014 Tour Dates

12/19 - Austin, TX @ Frank Erwin Center ^

^ = w/ St. Vincent

I think I have to do this.

[rage patton]

Bahaha. The looks on some of the people's faces in the crowd during St. Vincent during those shows opening for The Black Keys is going to be priceless. With that being said, those should be killer shows and a way better opener than Cage the Elephant or Jake Bugg.

[superfan]

Except that Cage and Jake Bugg are a much better fit as openers for The Black Keys.

[nathanfairchild]

Except that St. Vincent is without question a much much much better artist than Cage and Jake Bugg, so who gives a fuck?

Well, duh. I kind of figured that was implied in my comment. There is no arguing that. I just love that St. Vincent is opening for The Black Keys and it is going to confuse the fuck out of a lot of people.

she's going to be super famous soon so it kind of sucks.

I don't think she's a "weird" artist who will confuse people. It's not like it's Liars opening.

[Miroir Noir]

Truth bomb: for all of her high art pretensions and trappings, the soft commercial middle was always the scheduled destination for St. Vinny.

[Miroir Noir]

And also, there's nothing wrong with that, at all.

[guedita]

No SF date for The Black Keys? Hmm.

[fikus222]

TI Fest for the Keys?

[HotHamWater]

No Albuquerque date, either. Maybe they're playing the Albuquerque Music Festival That Doesn't Exist and Never Will.

[Miroir Noir]

The Ozymandias Music and Arts Festival sponsored by Los Pollos Hermanos and Venezia Pizza

[HotHamWater]

Ozomatli headlining all 3 days!

This is a confounding statement. St Vincent is a great opener for them.

[Drewski27]

St. Vincent would make a great opener for anyone because St. Vincent is awesome.

[Boourns]

And also the Black Keys, really. Gotta love those tours when a headliner has an opener that will upstage them.

[iantmcfarland]

No LA date = Made in America ?

With an eight-day gap between Seattle and San Diego, we could easily get a Staples Center date added later on. Hell, it's not to hard to believe Black Keys could play Made in America and announce another LA show in early September and still be able to fill up an arena in two months.

[TallGuyCM]

Does the Church get as hot as CFAER?

Yep. A friend of mine directly compared the two after the show last night, haha.

[TallGuyCM]

St. Vinny.

[rage patton]

This is a confounding statement. St Vincent is a great opener for them.

People are going to think she is "weird." Especially on this tour… with he costumes, strange stage set up, choreographed dance routines, and her bizarre stage banter. I mean, I loved her show I saw back in March, but a lot of people going to see The Black Keys are not going to "get it."

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

You are unfamiliar with the concept of performers altering what they do on tour when they are opening for another band as opposed to what they are doing during headlining shows. I am sure the goal will be reaching a new audience and not alienating the people that are there.

Seeing that Made In America and Staples are run by 2 corporations in direct competition with each other, I am going to say that contracts would be in place to make sure that that wouldn't happen.

She doesn't strike me as the kind of artist who would "dumb down" or change her live shows due to opening for a more mainstream audience, but who knows.

[HotHamWater]

Maybe it's been too long since I've seen her, but she never struck me as being weird for any audience. What the fuck am I missing?

[Phantasma Del Mar]

I think more than anything, Black Keys fans at those dates are gonna be bummed they're not getting to see Cage The Elephant. It may just be the least tight thing that's ever happened to them.

Speculation Thursday! Let's just make assumptions and correct people with no basis whatsoever!

[Gribbz]

This isn't strange at all really. St. Vincent isn't the Knife. And Black Keys' fans aren't Tool/Rage fans.

I think I have to do this.

Me too. Unless St. Vincent does an ACL aftershow (which I strongly believe she will).

it's the internet, dude.
