The Decemberists have canceled both the November 1 and November 2 concerts at Terminal 5.
This just got announced about an hour ago:
“With much regret The Decemberists have canceled the remainder of “The Long and Short of It” tour.
One of our band members has been ill for a while but we thought all would be well in time for these tour dates. After a couple shows, though, it has become clear that the illness is much worse than we had initially realized. We need to return home so our friend can mend.
It saddens us to disappoint our fans. We hope everybody understands it is only because of an extreme situation that we had to cancel a tour we’ve all been excited about doing since the idea was originally hatched.
Our deepest apologies but at this time no plans are being made to reschedule the dates. Ticket holders should seek refunds at point of purchase.”
NYCTaper is looking for a show to record on Friday night. Email or post suggestions in this topic.
Update: nyctaper will be recording Gary Lucas and Gods & Monsters at the Bowery Poetry Club this evening.
The Sonics reunion at cavestomp at warsaw in brooklyn? or Superdrag at fillmore? look like the only decent shows on nov 2
I was looking at Bob Mould at the Highline, because I thought he was taper friendly. Apparently he’s changed 180 degrees, and now is adamantly against taping. I went to his website to try to contact, but it basically says don’t contact us.
I sent an email to the webmaster of the Waterboys site, since they’re playing at Webster Hall. We’ll see about that.
The Sonics thing does sound interesting, and Stevie has said some decent things about tape trading recently. I have to check, but I think the Lyres and Fleshtones are playing one of those gigs.
Thanks for your amazing site and sounds! Just a few quick suggestions…
