A Band With No Album Released, Only 5 Previous Live Performances, And 1 Single Sell Out A Gig That Was Only Announced 36 Hours Before In 30 Seconds

And in case you're wondering, I did score a pair of those precious tickets. Check out the comments at Brooklyn Vegan and The Modern Age for not only how it all went down but also what kind of fucked-up state ticket sales are in. There are so many crooks out there, between Ticketmaster, the venue, and middle men, it isn't even funny. Ridiculous surcharges, unpredictable results, and of course - and above all - the vultures who scoop up tickets and sell them to suckers for outrageous prices on Ebay and Craigslist.

Anyway - the opening act has officially been announced: The Muldoons. Cute little lads and their father Brian, who was Jack White's upholsterer teacher and bandmate in their duo The Upholsterers, who issued one glorious single in the olden days. Brian is also in Tin Knocker, another dynamite rock duo from Detroit. This will make for an interesting opening act for all the hipster stiffs in this town.
