Love Ted Leo Comes to Seattle

Ted Leo is coming! Ted Leo is coming!
I heart Ted Leo. I’ve said so many times before, so I’ll spare you my gushing now, but I’m oh so excited to see that he’s going to be playing the Showbox April 17th. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, the 27th, at 10 am via Ticketmaster.
His new album, Living With the Living, will be released March 20th and you can hear a song from it, “The Sons of Cain,” here.
In other Ted Leo news, Mr. Leo is going to perform a solo set at a benefit show for Callum Robbin’s this Friday in Brooklyn. Back in December I posted about how Callum, the adorable son of J. Robbins and his wife Janet, was diagnosed with Type 1 SMA, a genetic motor neuron disease with no cure. The NY show will raise money for Callum’s costly treatments. Medications, the Forms, an Last Letters will also perform—if you’ll be in the area, go. Tickets are available through Ticketweb.
If you can’t make it to the show, but still want to donate, you can do so at Desoto’s website.
Am I the only one that can't stand this guy?
Yes.
Okay, no, probably not. But I've yet to meet a Ted Leo hater. You're the first. So hello, nice to meet you.
i love the guy and thought he was great the first time i saw him (solo) at tower records. but, i was pretty disappointed with their performance at the juno show.
I think the Ted Leo explosion in Seattle is fascinating. I saw him play a solo show at Graceland in '03. There were MAYBE 40-60 people there. A few months later he played Neumos to a respectable, but way undersold show. Now he's packin' 'em in. Good for Ted. He's a hard workin' mofo and he deserves it. But as my friend in Minneapolis says, he plays here so much you'd think he lives here. I think my friend's just jealous. Suffice today, Ted Leo coming through town hardly constitutes big news these days. I agree, the holiday show wasn't his best. Nonetheless, I'll be there. With bells on.
