Varsity Theater tickets

This was a super busy week for the campus area music venues. The Triple Rock (located on the west bank) and the Varsity Theater had a ton of great shows last week. The Varsity Theater started off last week with the Matt Costa, continued the next night with the Black Angels, and Wednesday night brought the Vaselines to town.

The Triple Rock kicked off Monday with Sleigh Bells, Wednesday night with All Time Low, and Friday night Deer Tick was in town.

I went to the Black Angels show and the Deer Tick show. Varsity Theater tickets for the Black Angels were still available at the door, which was a little disappointing there were not more people there. The Black Angels put on such a great show, and the Strongbows were nice and cold.

As for Deer Tick, they are pretty much my new favorite band to see live. I said this in April when I saw them last, that they were the best band I've seen in five years and I still hold that to them. They just absolutely phenomenal. Deer Tick is a young band who you can tell, still truly enjoy playing together. I can't wait to see them again!


I la la love these guys!

Vaselines tickets

Rocktober week is officially here. I was so excited to see the Vaselines, but I have so many other shows this week that was I thinking of sitting this one out. The other selling factor was super buzzed band the Dum Dum Girls were the opening act. However, First Avenue (who is presenting/promoting) the show announced today that the Dum Dum Girls had to cancel their appearance due to an 'unforeseen family emergency.' I hope they're ok!

Varsity Theater tickets are still on sale for the Vaseline's show sans the Dum Dum Girls. I am sure that masterminds behind First Ave's operation will be able to find someone to take their place with no problem.

See you at the show?! Maybe baby.

Vaselines Tickets

Were you ever a Nirvana fan like myself? If you were this post will definitely hit some nostalgia tunes on this show. I remember being in 3rd grade staying up super late to watch Nirvana's Unplugged in New York performance on MTV. One of the jams they played was "Jesus Don't Want me for a Sunbeam." Right before they play it Kurt goes "we do it the Vaselines way." Years later and when my musical taste matured beyond the Backstreet Boys, I checked out the Vaselines. And Kurt was right, they are awesome. He often voiced his love for the Vaselines and was photographed in their band shirts all the time. Not to mention Nirvana covered "Molly's Lips" and "Son of A Gun" - they were definitely a fan of their jams.

The Vaselines are touring in support of their new album, "Sex with an X.". After Kurt died in 1994 they kind of disappeared, but reunited in 2009. The amount of money they made in royalties I'm sure was enough to let them a lead a comfortable lifestyle. I must admit I am curious to see these guys, I can't wait to go to the show! Varsity Theater tickets are on sale now for the Vaselines show on Wednesday, October 27th. The Dum Dum Girls open! Omg !


See you at the show!
