Don't Forget to Buy Your Refused Tickets Tomorrow!

Megan Seling — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:17:34 -0700

The selfish side of me really doesn't want to make this post. The selfish side of me wants as few people as possible to know about tomorrow's pre-sale for Refused tickets because the selfish side of me wants all the Refused tickets to myself. THEY'RE MINE, ALL MINE.

But the blogger side of me is all "Oh, shut up, selfish side, the people have a right to know. IT IS YOUR DUTY TO TELL THEM." Then the blogger side of me started laughing because I said the word duty, which sounds like doodie, which is another word for poop. My blogger side has the sense of humor of an eight-year-old boy.

ANYWAY.

Just so you know, there is a pre-sale for Refused tickets starting tomorrow (Thursday, 6/13) at 10 am. Go here and use pre-sale code "stg" and then buy your tickets and do a victory dance.

You're welcome. (Now set an alarm on your phone or computer or something so you don't forget! This shit is going to sell the fuck out.)

Should I Have Paid $36.50 To See Die Antwoord In A Casino?

Kelly O — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:30:40 -0800

I just got back from Vegas, where I was surprised to see Die Antwoord's name on a casino marquee—especially at Mandalay Bay. I missed the Seattle show last week, and was still curious. I was also spending (and winning) lots of money on slots and black jack tables. Tickets for Die Antwoord were $36.50 per person. This seemed like too much. Should I have paid, and gone anyway?

Also, more photos from Die Antwoord's Seattle Showbox show, by Stranger shooter Whitman Dewey-Smith, after the jump!

NOFX Is Coming to Seattle and Tickets Are Almost Sold Out

Megan Seling — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:46:19 -0800

NOFX is playing King Cat Theater on Tuesday, January 24th, and tickets are almost sold out because no matter what music trends do over the years, once you're a NOFX fan, you're always a NOFX fan.

Still on the fence about whether or not you should go? Of course you should. It's an election year, things are being occupied, and gay marriage is still a topic of debate—it's a great time to listen to something that'll light a fire under your ass.

The show is all ages, doors open at 7:30 pm, and tickets are available here for $25.

Now please enjoy a song that's still relevant eight years after it's release:

NOFX - "Idiots Are Taking Over"

Live From U-Village: The Black Keys and OneRepublic

Travis Ritter — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 08:47:30 -0700

A local major software company whose name makes perverted minds think of the effects of a penis in cold water is opening a store today in the U-Village. At 9:30 am, the doors open to the Microsoft Store (conveniently located near the Apple store) and the first 200 people will "receive two complimentary premier-viewing tickets to their choice of either The Black Keys performance on Friday, October 21st, or the OneRepublic performance on Saturday, October 22nd, along with one VIP pass to meet OneRepublic after their show." There will be another 800 tickets given out to the concert of your choice but only if one visits the store.

The base for technology and coolness in the future (put down your iPods, kids) will be the concert venue of tomorrow (and Saturday), as these concerts are taking place in front of the Microsoft Store, IN THE U-VILLAGE PARKING LOT, one of the most annoying parking lots to navigate on a REGULAR TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Just in case you were wondering when NOT to drive to U-Village and hope for parking spaces or people with logical driving skills, the Black Keys play at 7:00 pm Friday, October 21, and OneRepublic plays at 2:30 pm Saturday, October 22. More details at this fancy website include a complete schedule of opening day and weekend festivities.

Good luck out there.
