Hold on to your checkbooks. Hope you already Craigslisted your way into Arcade Fire tickets, ’cause the market’s about to get unbearable. The National, who have already sold out a five-night run at Bowery next month, will open for the Blender cover kids for seven shows. The dates:
05/01 – Atlanta, GA @ Atlanta Civic Ctr. Theatre
05/02 – Asheville, NC @ Thomas Wolfe Auditorium
05/04 – Washington, DC @ DAR Constitution Hall
05/05 – Upper Darby, PA @ Tower Theatre
05/07 – New York, NY @ United Palace
05/08 – New York, NY @ United Palace
05/09 – New York, NY @ Radio City Music Hall
Let the price gouging begin! And the eye gouging.
Just to recap, that cover features The Killers, Panic! At The Disco, Daughtry, Fergie, and Arcade Fire. The kids are finally getting somewhere.

i’m intrigued by that blurb about the daughtry article.
i’m pretty sure the answer is “no.”
aw, fergie and win together at last.
that cover’s almost as weird as the wiggles covering lou reed: http://volume-knob.blogspot.com/2007/04/inappropriate-cover-of-inappropriate.html
“the greatest little big band in the world”? im starting to thing that the media WANTS people to hate the arcade fire. its working on me.
I’m going to the Radio City show, color me super-happy.
Is Blender, um, bunk drivel?
yes…yes it is.
Well, *I’m* intrigued by the blurb about ugly strippers.
It makes me cry when I see a magazine mention both the Arcade Fire, and Fergie’s….(ugh..)..”Lady” lumps.
Ugly Strippers are the biggest little band in the world. Gonna be huge.
I have no intentions to ever eat a sandwich with that Disco band. Unless they’re paying…
And Anon, I am very jealous.
no, i will not eat sandwiches with Panic at the Disco.
regine is so annoying.
this band is way too righteous for its own good
okay, i am really considering going to the Atlanta one now. i need MONIES
got my tix for atlanta….celebrating my 40th…..holy shit…..no chance of them canceling, right?
HAHAHAHA northerners! we get the Arcade Fire/National tour AND the Myrtle Beach Hard Rock Cafe park announcements in ONE DAY! this is almost enough for me to forgive the roughly 293047098 bands who refuse to cross the Mason-Dixon (or, alternately, tour through Florida only and call it their “Southeastern leg”).
The headline should’ve read “Is Arcade Fire actually, um, good?”
Is it me or is Sarah Neufeld kinnnda hot?
I’m just saying.
(For the record: St. Vincent’s also throwing down for a couple of openers)
