I heard they were listed before, but wondered why they were listing special guest now. My guess is that since they are playing Tomorrow Never Knows, they're trying not to cannibalize their draw at either place.

Mr. Smith, re: The Ponys -- it was listed both on the Ticketweb site and the Empty Bottle site. In fact, my confirmation e-mail from Ticketweb says "A benefit for J. Robbins & Family featuring The Ponys / Chin Up Chin Up / Bobby Conn / The Life And Times / Red Eyed Legends Saturday, Jan 27, 2007 8:00 PM CST"

Actually, the 1900s are playing Schuba's every Monday NEXT month. Pit Er Pat is doing a Monday night residency there this month.

You're not the only ones. I would totally go see Folk Implosion if they got back together. Pretty surprised about Sebadoh.

Um, well, when I bought a ticket to the Benefit for J. Robbins and Family, literally yesterday, the headlining act was The Ponys. Which is kind of why I bought the ticket in the first place. And now it's "secret special guest." What gives?

Not to get too indie rock, but Cold War Kids are coming to Sub-T with Tokyo Police Club opening. Could be a pretty kick-ace live show! And for $12!

My plan would have worked perfectly if it wasn't for you meddling kids! The Shins on sale link.

Good catch on The Shins, Mike! Now Mr. Smith can't hog all those tickets to himself. And let's not forget Schubas Tomorrow Never Knows event next week!!

Anyone know if Holly Golightly is good live? I may want to get tickets for this, but I'll be just back from a long tiring trip, and may want to skip it if she's only so-so live. Thanks.
