Winter is always pretty slow in NYC for concerts. Summer isn't much better as everyone scatters to the Hamptons or the shore. Spring, now, that's where it's at. In the last week alone I've bought tickets to Lucinda Williams, Vic Chesnutt, The Minus 5 (with Wilco), and Wilco & Sonic Youth. I'm particularly excited about the latter as it's at Central Park Summerstage. I've never been to a concert in the park.
Lady Crumpet also promised to stand on line for days with me this summer to get Shakespeare tickets. Okay. She's didn't promise. I'm gonna make her, though... :-)
I'm also excited about the possibilities of :
* Joe Jackson Band @ Irving Plaza
* Ute Lemper @ Town Hall
* The Sea & Cake @ Bowery Ballroom
* The Flaming Lips @ Roseland
* Throwing Muses @ Irving Plaza
* Dave Alvin @ Bottom Line
* John Wesley Harding, Lucy Kaplansky & The Nelds @ Symphony Space
* Linda Thompson @ Joe's Pub
* Laura Cantrell @ The Fez
* Kasey Chambers @ Irving Plaza
And those are just in the next seven weeks...

Muses,Muses,Muses.
What no Modey Lemon? They're from PA, just played here and were a riot. Also watch for Jesse DeNatale. Don't know if there's an east coast show in the woiks, but if so, go. None less than Tommy Waits is a beeeg fan - no need to take my word for it!
Posted by: deano on March 27, 2003 08:24 PMPS: I missed their last show (drat), but *they* say the latest Sea and Cake show is real different. Send me a ticket and I'll stand in line with you for that one.
Posted by: deano on March 27, 2003 08:26 PMOooh! Sea and Cake! I saw the ad for this the other day. I'd love to go... (If only because I love Archer Prewitt)
Posted by: zeebah on March 27, 2003 11:08 PMoh. and that john wesley harding show looks really good as well...
Posted by: zeebah on March 27, 2003 11:10 PMYAY! I actually heard of Sea and Cake on NPR - I think, aren't they British? And one guy just left so it's really just one guy now?
