Hopefully someone new they haven't brought on tour before would be fly. My pick for emerging bands they should bring: Minus the Bear or Phoenix...

    Thats what I love about PJ shows.. They always give us someone worthwhile and someone emerging before they blow up on their own ala MMJ and Kings Of Leon, etc. and quality old school cats like Social D, Bad Religion, and the Buzzcocks..

    I LOVE Regina Spektor...

    she'd get eaten alive by pj fans

    Isn't Phoenix like, kiddie music? I saw em on SNL and I just didn't get it.

    I'm going to say Them Crooked Vultures and move on.

    ohhh, dead weather!

    I like the idea of Dead Weather or Them Crooked Vultures. How about:

    Ted Leo - always money
    Fleet Foxes
    Band of Horses
  • realisthisrealisthis Posts: 136
    I'm 27.. Guess I dig kiddie music?? I don't get Kings of Leon.. But, tons of people like them. But, I discovered Phoenix through their Lisztomania remixes http://www.amazon.com/Kitsuné-Lisztomania-Remixes/dp/B002BUG3NU/ref=dm_ap_alb7 F'n brilliant mixes!

    Good one! I sort of got to see them open for PJ at Outside Lands....sort of. I think they were 2 bands before PJ. Silversun Pickups would be good too.

    Phoenix is great! They'd be great as an opener but I think they're too big/on the rise now. They sold out the Greek Theatre here in LA recently and were awesome. They're a great live band.

    I'd pick:

    Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears
    The Black Keys
    Band of Horses
    Yim Yames
    The National
    Cage The Elephant
    Julian Casablancas

    I second that emotion. Cold War Kids are an incredible live band.

    I'd also like to see Wilco open for Pearl Jam, although if that happened, I would need to purchase binoculars since I would have died and gone to heaven.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    It would be a dream to see Broken Social Scene open. Not that it's likely to happen but dreams are a great thing to have am I right?

    Kings of Leon would be cool to open up for PJ

    Especially if they have the screens up.

    My recommendations (continuing the theme of Irish Instrumental rock bands):

    The Jimmy Cake
    The Redneck Manifesto
