Got my tickets for Massive Attack in LA (the closest they are coming to Seattle is San Francisco). I'm super excited because this will round out seeing live all of the Holy Bristol Trinity.
I heard that Liz Fraser would be playing some shows with them, but I imagine she wouldn't leave the UK.

From the Jam are coming to town in March. Tickets are 27 quid each. That's about a fiver more than I really wanna pay. Not sure what to do on this one.
They're in Newcastle this Saturday and I really fancied it but £28 a ticket put me right off. Plus it is at the 02 Academy which means a fiver for a pint of warm piss. Add in travel costs and it would set me back best part of a hundred quid. Can't justify that for what is basically a tribute act (albeit an excellent one).

For me, walking to the venue and predrinking could keep it under £50.00, but that's too much really.

I get to go to very few shows because of where I live. We don't get a lot of shows because a lot of artists don't see it as a big enough market. And then the smaller artists I like tend to come to town on week day nights with shows starting at 10 or 11.
So every so often when someone like Elvis Costello does a show I'll pay for it because I probably do less than one show a year at this point and one or two pricey shows is the same as a 5 to 10 "cheap" shows (not like Fugazi is still doing $5 shows).

Yes. There was a small crossover whrn both Bruce and Rick were in the band but it looks like they fell out over the usual management/money disagreements.

They are billing the shows in the US as also including her. I'm also hoping for Horace Andy.

They need to be charging another third off their tickets.

Yes but there is no Paul Weller in the band so that adds that third back on. ;)
