Gearing up
Looks like the Spring '05 concert season is starting to materialize. We've got Colin Meloy of The Decemberists playing solo at Fez on 1/22, and The Arcade Fire playing at the Bowery Ballroom on 2/1 and at Irving Plaza on 2/2. Later that week Low will be headlining with Pedro the Lion opening, but as I've never listened to the former and can't get particularly excited about the latter, we'll just have to see.
Other venues and acts haven't started to put their schedule together yet. I know for certain that both Crooked Fingers and The Decemberists will be back to push their albums coming out in a few months, and there's rumors of a U2 tour sometime next year. Though they'd probably charge at least four times what I'm used to paying for shows.
Low is really good I think way better than Pedro the lion who I think is a little boring

Posted by: jeremy at December 17, 2004 04:30 PMI am going to agree and say that Low is much better than Pedro the Lion, though I can enjoy either.
