The Shins

#Ian# · 02-27-2004, 03:37 PM

The shins play whelan's 26/4/03, they're really great, they're from the states. You should go. €14

May not be for everybody though so you might want to dl some songs first.

GlttrGrrl · 02-27-2004, 03:47 PM

I'm so jealous. The DC show sold out before my dumbass friend Brian could get us tickets. I saw them in NYC in October. They were great!

julia · 02-27-2004, 03:58 PM

The Shins are so good, I have seen them a few times in Portland. They are from Albuquerque New Mexico, But are now living in Portland Oregon.[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img] [img]smileys/smiley10.gif[/img] My home town!!

No way will this one sell out, no ones heard of them over here so I'm trying to spread the word. E-mail bombardment of Tom Dunne might be in order.

Loveless · 02-27-2004, 05:42 PM

er, I've heard of them.. I bought their first album Oh Inverted World a year or two ago after getting some of their tunes on Audiogalaxy. They've a really nice sound, looking forward to hearing the album 'Chutes Too Narrow' very soonEdited by: Loveless

samuelle · 02-27-2004, 06:42 PM

you won't be able to see it, but therewill bea green cloud of jealousy hanging over my house on april 26.

julia · 02-27-2004, 07:06 PM

You can listen to a kcrw session from novemberhere

#Ian# · 02-28-2004, 02:32 PM

OK loveless, I should have said "almost" no one, are you going to go?

I think the second album gets a release over her next month. I've heard parts of it, my friend has it.

Sounds completly not like what I'd expect from a band on Sub Pop.

Aisling · 02-29-2004, 07:26 AM

where's lakesly for this thread. he introduced me to the shins. i think. they're pretty good

lakesly · 02-29-2004, 08:43 AM

here i am! whaddaya mean "pretty good"??! they're at the very least "pretty damn good"...

chutes too narrow is possibly better than oh, inverted world. i predict you shall enjoy it, loveless...

Louise · 02-29-2004, 11:31 AM

theres a review of chutes too narrow in the sunday tribune magazine today...they may not be narrowly known too much longer!

#Ian# · 02-29-2004, 02:24 PM

I got Chutes too narrow on import in HMV on henry street today.

What was the review like? positive/negative? My folks bought 2 copies of the sindo today, much to my chagrin, I prefer the Tribune.

At least people are responding to shins threads now, last time I started one was when they were playing a bar in London with an entry fee of £6, a friend of mine and I was gonna fly over for it, I know someone that did.

yeah probably, its on a Monday so it shouldn't be too packed. Hope its not sold out cos I have to buy my ticket at the door on the night. I really wish Whelans did ticket reservations for all their gigs.

lakesly · 03-01-2004, 07:20 AM

ticketmaster. my friend got his yesterday...

Loveless · 03-01-2004, 01:39 PM

oh right.. they must be expecting some sort of bigish crowd then. usually its only the smaller gigs where you buy tickets at the door. thanks for the info!

#Ian# · 03-01-2004, 01:52 PM

Well I read a thing in Q in january where they were heralded as one to watch for 2004. NME front cover next big thing status beckons. Hope not though.

samuelle · 03-01-2004, 04:16 PM

i think it's about time thata "next big thing" is actually deserving of such a title. most next big things are utter sh*t and disappear soon after. the shins will go on. i just hope they remain on sub pop... Edited by: samuelle

#Ian# · 03-02-2004, 07:58 AM

Yeah, its sad when bands blow up and burn out quickly.

My wish for all bands that I like is this.

They make a good living out of what they do, they become popular but not huge, and when its over they're either secure financially or have learned enough to make a living as a producer or something like that.

I never want to see one of Bell X1 trying to sell me a Fridge in Curries 8 years from now.

well said.

fortunately, i don't think the talented and passionate musicians of the world ever fully remove themselves from music and would probably only be selling appliances in order to continue making music.

lakesly · 03-03-2004, 05:00 AM

...unless you had a real passion for selling appliances...

samuelle · 03-03-2004, 08:11 AM

i know i have a real passion for selling appliances.
