I know these bands are not on everyone\'s list of bands to see but I think the fact that some of these dates are in Sheds and larger venues like in Boston is pretty damn cool.

I am stoked to be seeing the upcoming bands in the "jamscene" getting big enough to attempt things like this and the Big Summer Classic in the past.

I would go to at least one just for the atmosphere that you only get in big venues.

Just can\'t get into UM but I could care less because they make my ears hurt.

STS9 puts on a really good show. I\'ve been seeing them since the late 90s, back when they were less untz-untzy and were a four piece that went by the name Sector 9. It was cool to see them evolve into the band they are now, by adding in the laptops and second percussionist. First time I saw them was All Good \'99 and they were the first band to go on Saturday afternoon but they still put on one of the better shows that weekend. They play Water St. in Rochester every once in a while. That\'s pretty much the extent of me seeing them now.

After all the fees they were $72.50 for the pair, I guess that\'s 36.25 each. Oof. Thanks for making me think about it, lol.

So on dates where it shows STS9 after-party, I assume STS9 is ?ONLY? playing an after party? For example, 7.19 Chicago-- does Tribe play a set at Charter One before Umph, then play after Umph at HOB too? Or do they just play at HOB and Umph solo at Charter One?

Gotta love how a $24.50 ticket costs $36.25. :sigh:

Bank of America Pavilion in Boston is yet another Ticketmaster-owned venue, just like the Paradise is now too. There\'s no getting around it. Welcome to showgoing in the 21st century.

used to love both bands, now can\'t really stand either.

i think i feel the exact opposite of leith... it used to be fun to see STS9 in a little packed club where everyone was rolling (or at least i was) and dancing and sweating their balls off.

once they transitioned to small theatres, the show lost its appeal and the band seemed miles away.

How can they justify a 48% premium for ticket servicing? M-O-N-O-P-O-L-Y: there is only one provider of tickets for a show and they can do whatever the f they want. Sucks for the consumer.

I really wish some other ticket providers would gain more of the market from Ticketfucker.

LiveNation will be selling tickets for this show, but they don\'t go on sale until 4/19. Who knows what allotment they received and also what their service fee will be. Oh, and $5 per ticket is a facilities fee, which goes right to the venue.
