Picking an opening band

Mar 13, 2006

AGENT: Here's who's available for an opening band: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Giant Drag, the Futureheads and the Subways. KEVIN EDO: They're good, right? And all rock?
KEVIN EDO: I won't have our fans sit through 45 minutes of noise. AGENT: They're all good. All rock. Just need you to pick one. Here's their albums, you can listen and--
KEVIN EDO: Any of 'em have hot chicks?
AGENT: Well... I guess Giant Drag has-- KEVIN EDO: OK, them then, "Giant Drug." Hey, is the guitar-shaped Sealy on the tour bus yet?

Time estimates for the concert tonight

Jul 19, 2005

GREG: OK. So. Doors open at 7. Opening band starts at 8. BRETT: They're done at 9:30. The main band goes on at 10.
GREG: They play all the crappy songs off their new album for an hour. BRETT: They play old, crowd-pleasing radio hits until 11:30.
GREG: We get there at midnight, to catch the encore with the heartfelt acoustic number. BRETT: ...and the showstopping cover of some Kinks' song.
GREG: OK, great... hey, which band are we seeing again? BRETT: I forget. I think they were big in the 90's. Or 80's.
