I tend to believe that Pollstar's dates are more accurate (which have the 9:30 Club shows in DC down for October 15th and 16th right now), as TMBG's show listings are updated there every couple of days or so, more quickly than on www.theymightbegiants.com or www.tmbg.com. That's not a criticism of They's two websites, that's simply a fact I've observed.

The Show is on the 7th of October (thurs) at 10pm. Its 8 dollars in advance, and 10 at the door. Come see us! We sound absolutely nothing like TMBG.

Could anyone tell me if the show went on or not? If it went on as planned, and there's someone on this list who went to it, please tell us how it went. I'm curious to know what happened with that show.
