The Damned Back In Detroit!

[Joey Deadcat]

At St. Andrew's! Can it be?

[prick]

I love the Damned! I gotta go to this one.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

It's definitely a go. There's going to be a RevCo show here in October as well, but I don't know the date or venue.

[Guest greyhalo]

Hopefully I can catch them on the West Coast!

[DJ Saint]

It's definitely a go. There's going to be a RevCo show here in October as well, but I don't know the date or venue.

Here's an interesting note about that revco tour. Jourgenson will only be on about 4 dates of the whole tour. WTF!!!???

The promoter contacted me to see if Darque Productions would be interested (um, not unless it was for a lot less money, get better tour suppoirt and for christ sakes AL J should be there)

from his email...

I'd say take a road trip and see Al and the gang in Chicago... Revco aint Revco without Al (and if you want to get technical Revco was best when they were Al, Richard 23 (Front 242) and Luc Van Acker)

[Simon Bar Sinister]

^ hahahahahahaha, that's retarded! 4 shows w/Al? gotta be fuckin' kidding me.

Chicago definitely sounds like the way to go.

[Joey Deadcat]

Caught RevCo last time when they toured with Ministry. No way Al could bail outta the RevCo performances then!

[Ice Queen (1)]

The first time I saw The Damned live was exactly 20 years ago today. It was my firs pit, heehee. I've seen them a few more times over the years, always a good show. Unfortunately, I think I am booked to perform that evening, and will have to miss it.

[TheOsakaKoneko]

Anyone know the cost yet? Nice timing, right by Halloween! I think this could be gooood. XD

[Joey Deadcat]

Still no updates on ticket $$ - shouldn't be too much. Don't remember paying a lot when they played at The Magic Stick.

[Joey Deadcat]

[TheOsakaKoneko]

I've had Eloise in my head freakin ALL DAY. This should be awesome.

[the eternal]

That's awesome.

It's great to see a band like that still doing it 30+ years later.

[DJDeadbeat]

It actually might be a good bit since its at the fucking Live Nation capital of ST ANDREWS HALL. But i'm not going to hang myself up about that, but rather that I can finally see one of my all time favourite bands!!

SOME GIRLS ARE UGLY TOO!

[Joey Deadcat]

Creeping closer. Danko Jones will be the opening act during this tour.

Seems when they head back to the UK they will be gigging with Motorhead and Girlschool during the remainder of 2009. Nice. Way back during the 70s Lemmy did a very,very short stint in The Damned for some shows.

[TheOsakaKoneko]

Bump!

Anyone got their tickets yet? I need to get mine. Looks like it's $23 in advance, $25 at the door (so paying ticketbastard fees or whathaveyou seems exceedingly silly...I can't imagine St Andrews selling out for them, as awesome as they are).

[Guest greyhalo]

They'll be here in Portland on Nov. 1. Yay!

[TheOsakaKoneko]

BUMP!

This Saturday!! :D:D:D

[pleasurekatzen]

NOT COOL. I was SO looking forward to this. Had my outfit half planned. This was going to make my Halloween 2009. SO FREAKING NOT COOL.

[Joey Deadcat]

Very bad news; on the other hand, it's kind of a relief as I wasn't sure if I was going to make it out after all.

[darknight1]

Livenation sucks.

[TheOsakaKoneko]

US Govt and Immigration sucks. Not LiveNation's fault. They couldn't get Visas. D:D:D:

[phluteloop]

*sigh* Heard about this yesterday. So very disappointed, I've been looking forward to this since mention of the show this summer.

[DJ Saint]

some more news here...

Hey, it's another visa issue, which seems to be the cause of many tour cancellations these days...
