The date hasn't been announced yet. It will probably be at the State Theatre or Cobo in September.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

The only reason I would go is MXPX, and Brand New. I don't like Dashboard.

I was a fan of the four songs that Rob listed, and The Best Deceptions and This Ruined Puzzle. At first they seemed great, but after listening to them a few times, it came off whinier than Morrisey. Anyways, I don't like how their shows are nothing more than emo sing alongs, I'd rather have the band sing to me. Maybe that's why I've lost my love for 4AM...who knows?

That's true about the sing-alongs, but I kind of like that atmosphere... but I like how OLP only does it for one song as opposed to all songs.

BTW, I never answered the question... my favorite is "This Bitter Pill" and "Anyone, Anyone"

See, I would never find myself paying $25 for a bunch of teenagers who think they have real problems crying and singing the songs for Chris. That bothers me. I payed for the ticket to see you, now you sing. There's no way around it, you sing your songs, not the losers in the crowd.

i'd go for brand new and dashboard (i've already seen both :mrgreen: ). never did really like mxpx. guess i should give them a listen again. DC and Brand New are both in my top 5 bands now ever since dejah entendu :drool:

I hope it is at one of those places, both are close to the border.

It's alright if you people don't like MXPX, you're just missing out. Anyways, if your band name means "Magnified Plaid" you have to be the coolest people ever.
