99.9% chance that it's a legacy act of some sort

because they've already hosted a good handful of the biggest contemporary acts without an announcement

so it's either Brooks or that Sting/Paul Simon tour

the announcement aspect of it is just odd

I'd rather see Garth Brooks than Kanye West

12/4/2013 2:09:43 PM

Garth Brooks doesn't meet Jesus on a fiery mountain while wearing a diamond encrusted torture mask, man.

NANCY IS DOWN

12/4/2013 2:56:19 PM

Lol. Billy Joel.

12/4/2013 4:17:05 PM

Yeah, it's fucking Billy Joel. A lot of hype for a one night only concert.

12/5/2013 10:37:02 AM

Seriously! he's performed in that building with Elton John and that wasn't hyped up with a pre-announcement. And pretty sure a LOT more people give a damn about Timberlake than a washed up Billy Joel..

12/5/2013 10:39:57 AM

I guess if you're over 45 yrs old it could be exciting

12/5/2013 10:58:36 AM

New Raleigh is the worst

12/5/2013 11:04:49 AM

watching billy joel flip-out in concert always makes me lol

Nancy outed herself as a fangirl with this

12/5/2013 11:42:18 AM

i can't get over how fucking dumb this is

12/5/2013 2:46:46 PM

supposedly other mayors did this as well, but I don't care enough to verify

sets a super weird precedent, though

12/5/2013 3:03:58 PM

The same shit happened in Tampa a month ago.

So I bought a ticket for HAIM at the Cradle around noon the day they went on sale and didn't think much about it.

No one told me that shit sold out with the quickness.

What's the likelihood of the Sylvan Esso show being sold out Friday night? We figured we'd just pay at the door since there's a convenience fee anyway.

12/6/2013 11:01:37 AM

Everyone come to Let Feedback Ring or suffer the consequences.

According to the promoter, there aren't many tickets left, but who knows if that's true.

Do you think they would have sold out without being on SNL?

12/6/2013 12:45:02 PM

I don't know or care.

12/6/2013 12:49:23 PM

OH SNAP

HE DONE TOLD HIM

12/6/2013 1:21:25 PM

oh yeah the free legend's show is over at 10 and the king's show doesn't start til 10 (as advertised... probably a few minutes later) so if you already have tickets to king's, let's party beforehand.

12/6/2013 1:52:21 PM

and vinylbandit should do an all-dude haim set for the coverup and call it ham.

12/6/2013 1:53:45 PM

kosher haim

12/6/2013 2:38:55 PM

No joke, I would fly back to Raleigh to see that.

12/6/2013 2:50:34 PM

i know enough dudes who love that shit. it's totally do-able. dunno if i have enough time to pull it off and my other coverup set though.

12/6/2013 4:23:24 PM

Sylvan Esso sold out. d'oh!

12/6/2013 4:28:58 PM

^So I'm really liking these cats (for some reason, not normally a type of music I would seek out)

What are people's thoughts on the over/under that they blow up within the next 1-2 years?

Personally I don't think they are quite there yet but I just keep listening, and I keep liking it more. Also NEED MORE SONGS!!!!

12/6/2013 6:20:04 PM

I love them, and they're such nice folks. It'd be awesome if they did blow up. They NEED to put their album out. I've wanted that shit for nearly a year now

12/6/2013 6:26:32 PM

Sylvan Esso are gonna be big. damn big.

she is a goddamn star

12/7/2013 12:49:22 PM

Did ivan howard move to the west coast?

12/7/2013 11:49:49 PM

so both sets on both nights were almost exactly the same

12/8/2013 2:15:44 PM

So Cory got on the stage and chucked a microphone both nights?

12/8/2013 3:24:37 PM

ha

that dude...

12/8/2013 3:46:40 PM

I had never seen the Love Language before and was only familiar with a few of their more popular songs, but damn they put on a great show imo. Seems like some people just came to see Esso and bounced after their set. I really like the new songs I heard..do we even know when the album is coming out?

12/8/2013 4:08:07 PM

Sylvan Esso were great on Friday

I left after them: not interested in seeing Love Language again for the time being

12/8/2013 5:11:06 PM

CHVRCHES is playing the Cradle Monday April 28th at 7pm. Tickets go on sale the 13th.

12/10/2013 6:58:23 PM

St. Vincent at Haw River 3/4
Future Islands and Wye Oak at Haw River 3/5

12/10/2013 7:24:28 PM

really looking forward to living there for a few nights

12/10/2013 7:51:10 PM

That's going to be fucking awesome. But a Tuesday and Wednesday is really going to be a pain in the ass

Ultra 2014 phase 1 line up is out

12/18/2013 12:22:01 PM

going on the Holy Ship cruise in a few weeks. that should be an ok weekend.

12/19/2013 2:21:16 AM

Pizza Underground coming to Kings in March and I'll be there for a bunch of different reasons

12/24/2013 1:03:05 PM

Lifelong love of Macaulay Culkin being one of them?



[Edited on December 24, 2013 at 2:36 PM. Reason : you're not paying money for that are you?]

12/24/2013 2:28:21 PM

i thought pizza underground was just as funny as everyone else, but i think it'd probably be a really stupid thing to go see live

12/24/2013 3:09:42 PM

it's ridiculous and silly and they and everybody else are well aware of it

I am a very big Velvet Underground fan

and the prospect of seeing Macaulay Culkin on stage at a place I frequent intrigues me

[Edited on December 24, 2013 at 3:45 PM. Reason : yes, I will pay money for it]

12/24/2013 3:43:39 PM

Are they still doing 8 minute sets?
