The Strange Goings On With She & Him

So at first if you had a ticket for last night's scratched show at the Hiro, you had to await announcement of a future date. Then suddenly, late in the night, it was announced that tonight's second show has been moved to Webster Hall and that this show would also be the rescheduled date for night 1. It seems generous at first but also it really plays with people's calendars (the Bowery Presents guys know it so they are providing refunds).

What stinks is that last night's opener was supposed to be the A-Bones with Ira Kaplan helping out. They won't be able to open tonight.

Yo La Tengo Opened for the A-Bones at Magnetic Field

Friday night, as part of Magnetic Field's closing week blow-out, Yo La Tengo - under the name "the Condo Fucks" (there's that word again) - opened for Brooklyn rockabilly legends (and band manifestation of the ultra excellent Norton Records company) the A-Bones. The comments section of that BV post reveal some interesting conflict going on about who got in and how.

Tonight is the last night for Magnetic Field - ever.
