Mumford and Sons tickets

Indie folk is the new thing. As if hearing a warbling jumble of atrocious winy kids from Omaha or screeching vocals from DC isn't enough in this world we call Indie music, there is a new trend in town. I call it sad bastard music, some call it folk music. The newest IT band sensation is from London and they go by Mumford and Sons. These guys have been getting tons of airplay on the Current, their debut album, "Sigh No More" has gained critical and commercial success - it was even the Current's cd of the week.

Critics everywhere are absolutely peeing themselves over this band and I really just don't get it. I heard Bill DeVille (DJ on the Current), who is one of my favorite DJs in the world, use the term "Indie Folk" and I about threw up. I knew whatever band was going to follow that I was not going to care for - and I was right.

What is even more baffling, is Varsity Theater tickets are sold out for this show. Varsity Theater tickets for this show are not just a little sold out, they are super sold out. The Mumford and Sons show at the Varsity Theater sold out in record time, even for the Varsity. It took about two days. Varsity Theater tickets went on sale on a Friday for this show and were gone my Monday/Tuesday. Every local ticket outlet is SOLD OUT!
