    pretty shitty. i feel for our texas friends.

    dallas and houston are pretty major cities, no? i don't think selling out is a problem.

    Good thing I didn't get my hopes up for this announcement. At least all my other favorite bands come through here on a regular basis.

    Flagg, like usual I agree with everything you said on this topic.

    It's become a fucking joke. They've made it clear that they will play anywhere if you pay them a boatload of dough (ACL). Skipping TX to play 2 shows in Missouri is laughable.

    I will actually be in the NE when they are up there but I'm tired of going out of my way and traveling all over.

    I thought when they put their own record put they would finally care about selling records, which you do by touring. Everywhere. Their strategy seems to be hit the coasts and make a ton of cash then go on vacay in Europe, aus/nz or Hawaii.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Yeah...I can definitely see how both of them would benefit from a PJ show. :roll:

    Riotact...thanks for the positive outlook for Texas, but until it happens, I'm not about to talk myself into the "well, maybe they'll add some Texas/southern dates in the Fall." theory (again). I say that every time New Zealand tour is announced. Never happens.


    you evidently don't say THAT very often then.

    They hate W so they don't play here. But they will play a festival here for a ton of money? This is your thinking?

    If that's true their morals are far from where I thought. I think they're just lazy. Of course they could always tell us why!

    ive defended them time and time again , but this is probably the most dissappointed ive ever been in them. quick cash grabs in the same old places then back home. all the fans out on 'the frontier' who stuck by them for years without a show get left out again. what happened to the Touring Band? guess they got old :(

    wow. you're a funny guy.

    i'm not sure what to make of it.....it sucks that they aren't coming back on this tour. with every tour they announce, i feel that it is less & less likely that they'll ever come back down here. maybe in the Fall? probably not.

    maybe we'll go see my side of the family in KC and catch that show....doubtful, but maybe. this announcement bummed me out for a bit.

    ACL was great, don't get me wrong....i'm glad that they played. but i want what every other texas PJ fan wants...a FULL PJ SHOW.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    up until this tour, they had skipped Ohio since 2003 (not even a festival). Columbus and Cleveland are major cities too. I feel for you, Texas, but they can't make everybody happy. And I do think there is something to it. I don't know if it's political or not, but the one city in Texas that they have played is Austin, and that's probably the only even remotely liberal area in the state. Could be?

    I've wondered that, but I just can't even fathom that to be the case. If it were, then I'd have to say fuck 'em.
