North American Tour

[That Canadian Guy]

Saw that the boys are comin back to Toronto. AND back to The Mod Club. So fucking excited. Is this going to be all ages again? I'm like 6 months from turning 19, please Rae, work your magic like you did in the summer and make this all ages!

[That Canadian Guy]

Ok, freaking out a little bit, saw that the Vancouver show is 19+ Can someone please let me know if the Toronto gig is 19+ or not. If it is I might have to kill someone. Lets do the all ages thing again shall we?

[Jonesie]

why the fuck are they opening for Zox in providence.

I demand Headlining shows!

:-p

[tiny_kim]

yay for the north american tour!!! :) i'll be seeing them in Vancouver, on December 17th. does anyone know who is opening for them?

that canadian guy - i hope they change it so you can go!

[Kacky]

If the Toronto one is 19+, I'll be pissed.

[tiny_kim]

i'm getting my ticket tomorrow! :D

[tiny_kim]

i got my ticket today!!! so excited.:D it was so cheap too, which was a plus.

[newyorkdoll]

Just got my tickets for NYC at the knitting factory...couldn't be more excited to see the boys!

[That Canadian Guy]

Fucking right, the Toronto show is all ages. Now i'm fucking excited, well, more excited then I was before. Anyone know who Zox and Sucker Punch are? They're apparently the opening acts. Can't wait.

[Kacky]

SCORE.

I'm glad it's all ages...Did you call the venue?

[That Canadian Guy]

Nah, it's listed on ticketmaster now. Tickets go on sale on the 19th.

[Kacky]

Ahh thanks. I looked on Ticketmaster the other day and it wasn't up yet. :p

[gretsch25]

I went on ticketmaster.com, to look up tickets for The Knitting Factory in NYC, but I didn't even see the venue listed. Is the concert sold out?

[gretsch25]

Never mind. I just ordered the tickets from the venue.

[tiny_kim]

i've heard of zox.. but i've never listened to them. never heard of the other band.

that's awesome that they changed it!

[Rae]

The only show on the North American tour that's 19+ is Vancouver. Couldn't do much about that. Everything else as I understand it, is all ages (as it should be)

[Jonesie]

Rae, so is the Providence show just an opening slot though? like, 45 minutes? or are TLE and Zox doing headlining sets?

[That Canadian Guy]

Yeah that makes sense. I don't think I've ever heard of a gig at Richards On Richards that wasn't 19+. And Vancouver's our most liberal city...go figure.

[tiny_kim]

yeah richards on richards is always 19+ cause it's a bar. lucky for me, i am 20 :)

[lainie]

Rae, so is the Providence show just an opening slot though? like, 45 minutes? or are TLE and Zox doing headlining sets?

I'm going to this show too; my first TLE. I was surprised that a band I'd never heard of was listed as the headliner.

[Jonesie]

I'm going to this show too; my first TLE. I was surprised that a band I'd never heard of was listed as the headliner.

I still haven't bought tickets.

if it's only a 45 minute set I'm not going to drive an hour and a half each way.

[lainie]

I already got the tickets so I'm going anyway. I missed them when they were in Boston in August so I wasn't going to miss them again.

[Steph Format]

The Living End at the Sunset Strip on December 13th.

who's there?

I might be, but it's not a definite though (it's during FINALS WEEK argh)

[jnine]

I'm going. If you're coming for that show you might as well come on the 12th when they're playing in Anaheim at the HOB, it's only an hour away from here. I'm thinking of going to Slim's the week before too.

[Samuel]

ordered tickets for Levittown...YEAH.

[vanlo]

can someone tell me why the living end, jet and ozomatli have all decided to have a gig on the same day, after not getting a decent gig in santa barbara for months? especially when all the UCSB students have final exams the following week... what fuckwit promoters are these? i could do a better job ! ! ! !

federico says fuck off... after looking at all the bands, i will probably see the living end... yeah, good night...

[tiny_kim]

who ever goes to the show first, can you please post the set list. thanks!! :)

[gretsch25]

I just saw them at The Knitting Factory last night!! They were fantastic!!! It seemed like Chris improvised a bit more and changed things around a bit since the last time I saw them in August.

Hey guys,

Here is the setlist of the Levittown, NY show. This setlist was exactly the same at the Knitting Factory, NYC. But they changed it a bit at the Levittown gig, they didn't play Carry Me Home and played Monday.

By the way, is anybody from NYC going to the Asbury Park show in NJ by car next Wednesday?

Thanks,

Ben

[bitsy]

does anyone know if you can buy tix to the nov. 27th show at mod club before hand or is it at the door? i haven't seen TLE since i lived in oz a couple years ago and i'm psyched for the show!

~bits

[Samuel]

2 NY shows:

The Levittown show was essentially a dress rehearsal for the Knitting Factory, due in part to the lackluster, boring, and incompetent crowd at Ritual in Levittown. The place is normally for 14 year olds to get drunk on their parent's dime, so for them to see live music was too overwhelming for the few who were there. The "devoted few" we were, indeed.

As for Knitting Factory, I was a member of the press for the show (I am a rock critic for my campus newspaper, the Hofstra Chronicle) and I got an interview with Andy, then I was denied access to the show. I was supposed to be on the guest list via a Marisa from East/West Records, because I am reviewing the show, as well as printing excerpts from the interview in the Entertainment section of the paper, thereby giving the band more exposure. However, I was not on the list, and had to buy a ticket, just to review the performance. The forthcoming review will be linked to this post via edit as soon as I am done writing it.

Sam

EDIT: I MUST WAIT TO LINK UNTIL IT IS PUBLISHED, WHICH WILL BE ON NOV. 30, SO THERE WILL BE ANOTHER EDIT THEN.

You have to buy them advance through Ticketmaster, they can't be picked up at the venue.

If they play that setlist in Toronto, i'll die a happy, happy man.

[Kacky]

That's one kickass setlist. I hope they play it too. :eek: :D

[TLE_rok]

that set list looks a little bit like the show i went to on the 20th of Sempember
but there wasno Carry Me Home
it was a great show! If thats the set list it should be one awesome show!

[That Canadian Guy]

Yeah, I was really hoping for an Aussie-esque setlist this tour after getting the singles set in the summer. It was still awesome, but I would have liked to have heard stuff that you don't ALWAYS hear

God, that sucks! Can't wait to read your review! :)

[MaxMax]

Anyone else going to the show at the Black Cat tonight? I wonder if they will play Black Cat in honor of the situation...

[tiny_kim]

awesome! thanks for the set list. the pictures are cool! glad you guys had a good time. i can't wait!!

[tiny_kim]

ok, this is weird.. i just went to richards on richards website and it says they are playing on the 17th and the 23rd... but the 23rd isn't listed anywhere else, i would think they would want to go home as soon as possible and take a mini break before those other shows. i'm assuming it's just a mistake.. anybody know?:confused:

[Drunky McClovis]

according to their myspace and website it looks like the 17th is the last north america date :(


gah i wish they were bigger here.

[Retroactive]

There seems to be various confusions surrounding this tour. In Philly, Chris said, "We'll be back next week", and everyone just looked at each other.

[tiny_kim]

i know there's someone going to the toronto show soon. so i just wanted to say have fun!!!:)

[lainie]

I went to the Providence, RI show last night. They didn't headline and only played a 45 min. set. They still rocked :) Zox was the headliner (who I'd never heard of before buying tickets for this show) Half the crowd was waiting for them. I even heard people say, during TLE's set, "I want my Zox!" The other half seemed to be diehard TLE fans :)

Anyway, I had a great time. Here's a pic I took:

[i_heart_you]

i went to the buffalo show on friday night, and i think pretty much everyone was there for tle. every other band got a respectful clap after each song, but the people were going crazy once tle took the stage! i was right against the stage and i have two huge bruises on both my hip bones from being squished into stage by the people behind me! they played for about an hour and 20 minutes, but it seemed so much shorter. they didn't even say anything between songs, it was just one after the other so they could fit in as many as possible. it was great!

i'm thinking of going to the toronto show cos i'm on the guestlist, so, why not...but it's a really far drive. anyone else going?

[Drunky McClovis]

There seems to be various confusions surrounding this tour. In Philly, Chris said, "We'll be back next week", and everyone just looked at each other.

I think Chris ment that they were coming back to to go to New York, and then Jersey. They went from Philly to DC, and then back up, so I think that's what he ment. It be cool if they just toured up and down the east coast...FOREVER! haha.

I figured as much. And you certainly wouldn't hear any objections from me if they do that!

[That Canadian Guy]

Fuckin hell, show's tomorrow night, i'm beside myself with excitement. My god, this band rules.

[Drunky McClovis]

lucky lucky

ps - have fun! though, i'm sure i don't need to tell you that.

[jnine]

How did you get on the guest list?

[i_heart_you]

How did you get on the guest list?

chatted up the merch guy. he asked if i wanted to get on it, i said ok, and that was it. there was probably a bit of luck involved as well...

[Astoria Paranoia]

i know this has nothing to do with the previous entrys, but im seeing TLE for the first time in my life on Saturday and i CANNOT fuckin wait! I bought $80 in tickets just to see them, not the rest of the bands on the bill (+44, The Matches, Zox)

so, a friend of mine's band is playing the pre-show party which means we'll be around the other bands as they arrive, so what kind of guys are TLE? cuz i really wanna meet these guys and will truly do anything to shake their hands :)

[jnine]

They are very nice, no attitude. They really like to drink beer, shouldn't be a problem as long as there is some around.

[kelso]

just saw them two days ago
it was my second time seeing them
ahh so amazing
got to meet chris and all that jazz, extremely nice guy :rolleyes:

[tiny_kim]

so how have the opening bands been? any good?

[That Canadian Guy]

Zox was OK. It was nice to see a bad ass fiddle solo in rock and roll but their fiddler reminded me of Fred Durst kind of and he really annoyed me for some reason. They also butchered the living hell out of Where Is My Mind by the Pixies which really pissed me off. They had some OK songs but I wouldn't buy their album. I didn't see the first band.

[kelso]

I didnt really like ZOX
idk...compared to the first two, they were softies lol


the first two that opened up were both local bands- Grande Nationals (which Andy is wearing their shirt in one TLE photo) and The Koffin Kats who were crazy!

They are the nicest guys you'll ever meet! I had the pleasure of tipping a few with them after the Providence show... for 2 & 1/2 hours!! :D

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k66/Whatsername1964/TLE_me_1.jpg


Real down to earth people... I really hope you get to meet them! GOOD LUCK!

Oh... and... Hi Janine! Fancy meeting you here! lol

[jnine]

Hi Jill.:)

[Astoria Paranoia]

GREAT fuckin show in milwaukee last night, my first TLE experience. The crowd loved it, if was the best fuckin live performance ive ever seen, got to meet the guys twice too, best night of my life :)

[sullenriot]

TLE basically kicked the opening and headlining bands asses in milwaukee!...they were just absolutely, perfect!

Hahaha Scotty sure pulls some odd facial expressions.

[pismo]

Went to the show at Slim's last night, the same place they played last summer at the end of their US tour. It goes without saying that it was a hard-ass rocking show that I had an awesome time at. The set list was the same as the one posted earlier for this tour. The band seemed really relaxed last night, and sounded great. Chris is not much of a stage talker, but he was a little bit more chatty yesterday than the last time around.

We were in the front row, right up against the barricade, just below Scott. I brought my camera, but after the first song the security guy told me that flash was not allowed. WTF? It wasn't a problem the last show. So unfortunately, the quality of most of my shots is pretty poor, despite my proximity to the stage. However, I'm hoping to get some better pics soon, as I am having a small TLE extravaganza this week: Slim's last night, Ventura on the 11th, Anaheim House of Blues on the 12th, and Sunset HOB on the 13th. We also have tickets to the five song mini-concert for the Jimmy Kimmel show taping right before the Sunset HOB show.

After the show, we hung out in front, by the bus and waited for the guys. When they showed up, maybe an hour after the show, they did an impromptu meet and greet for the 20 or so of us waiting in the cool night air. As everyone who has ever met them has said, they were incredibly kind and gracious. (And, for the record, Australian accents rule! :-) ) When we were talking to Andy, he mentioned that they were heading over to The Beauty Bar (one of those I'm-too-hip-for-you kinda San Francisco bars.) So we headed over there too, and spent the next couple of hours hanging out and chatting with them and the guys from I Hate Kate, the excellent opening band. We even got Andy to put down his Guiness and do a tequila shot with us. They seemed pretty impressed to hear we were going to be stalking them down the California coast. We told them to look for us in the front row at every show. :-)

So when I get those better pics, I'll post a couple. It's going to be a fun week!

[jnine]

Hi Pismo, I'm going to all of those shows too and Jimmy Kimmel, I'll look for you. I have an extra ticket for Anaheim if you know anyone who needs one. You know where to find me.

[lex]

Do you happen to be from Pismo? Haha. If so, that's cool it's only like 15 minutes from where I am. I would be stalking them too, if only it wasn't my finals week :(
I need to start working on my fake ID also, for Monday..

[pismo]

Yep. You must go to Cal Poly. :-) I'm glad that at least one show is reasonably close to here!

Also jnine-- Did you see they changed the call time again for Jimmy Kimmel? It's 4pm now, which is good. I was wondering how they were going to swing the later time.

[jnine]

No, I didn't get another email, just 5:30. That's good though, I was worried I was going to miss part of the show at the HOB because we'd still be stuck at the taping.

Just hit my email, thanks for letting me know.

[patty_ww]

Zox was OK. It was nice to see a bad ass fiddle solo in rock and roll but their fiddler reminded me of Fred Durst kind of and he really annoyed me for some reason. They also butchered the living hell out of Where Is My Mind by the Pixies which really pissed me off. They had some OK songs but I wouldn't buy their album. I didn't see the first band.

I was there by myself. It kicked ass, but I don't think the crowd response was as good as last time. I just jumped around and sang along near the front by myself. I probably made an ass out of myself, but I don't care. Anybody see a blond haired 17 y/o that wouldn't shut up. Yep that was me. Gosh I love TLE.

[tiny_kim]

6 days!!!!!!!!!

[Armistice]

TLE is playing at the House of Blues in Anaheim tonight! Woot! Anyone going to be there?

Lol, this'll be my 3rd seeing of them this yr :cool:

[jnine]

I'm going. I saw them last night and I talked to them afterwards, they were very nice and they signed my setlist and my vinyls. The show was great but you can tell they are more than ready to go home. I asked Andy about his dog and he was talking about how much he misses her so he calls home and talks to her over the phone and she supposedly starts barking and then licking the phone.

[vanlo]

i was at the ventura show last night too... wasn't bad to see the boys again, hadn't seen them since the Long Necks show at the Corner in melbourne before SoE was released...

i quite enjoyed the show, although there were about 10 dickheads there that all weighed about 140kg just pushing people around which really annoyed me... there would've only been about 200-250 people there but the boys still played well... and for a small crowd it was a pretty vocal one...

and it was especially cool as an australian to see an aussie band in the US... although americans yelling "aussie aussie aussie" doesn't work to well...

oh, and also worth noting... chris played the intro to blood on your hands before stopping and saying he couldn't remember the words...

[vanlo]

just uploaded a video i took at the show, check it out here...

When Chris was playing Peter Gunn during Andy's drum malfunction, did he slip in some Secret Agent Man too? I forgot to ask him when I was talking to him afterwards, it sure sounded like it.

[lex]

I knew that sounded familiar...I think he might have.

[Armistice]

I'm going. I saw them last night and I talked to them afterwards, they were very nice and they signed my setlist and my vinyls.

Boo, I saw them 2ce ant HoB in Anaheim and W. Hollywood in Aug, and then saw them last night in Anaheim again on the 12th and it sucks coz they're venuses where they don't go out and talk. Have seen them 3 times and yet to talk to them :(

[lex]

You should have gone to Ventura! There were only like 10 people waiting outside for them after..

[jnine]

I wonder if the guys' show is still on tonight. It's supposed to be in Portland and there are huge storms all over that area that has knocked out power to millions and has caused damage to tons of buildings. If not, I hope they knew ahead of time because the Brian Setzer Orchestra is playing tonight in LA and it would be great if they could go.

[tiny_kim]

show tomorrow!! :D

[Armistice]

You should have gone to Ventura! There were only like 10 people waiting outside for them after..

GAH!!! I didn't know about that show though. I was just planning on the Anaheim one. I didn't know that they couldn't come out coz of the setup of the venue! Rrrrr >_<

That and I think Venture is too far away from me. Let me check Google Earth, lol

...

Yah, that's 110mis "as the crow flies" W. Hollywood was far enough at 50mis. I'm in Corona so I'm stuck with LA area... wonder if I could get them to do Riverside area, haha

[lex]

Yeah it's about 2- 2 1/2 hours away from me. But I'm used to driving that far, usually farther, for a good show. I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
