    Just secured a ticket, thanks for the heads up. This is a nice surprise.

    This venue has a capacity of only 200 (including performers)!

    The following quote on Shawn's website is interesting.

    "This rare performance will have an early 8pm-ish start and Shawn will be available post-show to chat, have a beer and sign any items you may wish to bring"

    Can't wait!

    I'm sure a London date will happen, in fact Shawn msg'd me the other day and said he's in touch with a promotor but nothing firm yet. I msg'd him suggesting a Bristol date, anyone over that way or would consider going if it happens?

    Amazing, bummer it's not a weekend show though. The halfmoon too, used to go see friends bands there all the time. I'm also trying to get a Bristol show happening, I've put Shawn in touch with a promotor so will see what happens.
    As for taping it, any UK tapers out there, I'm not.

    The voice of Brad, Satchel, Pigeonhed. A mighty fine singer! Get along to the Half Moon, it's a great venue. Used to go at least once a month when I lived in London.

    Wow you've never heard of Brad (Shawn's band with Stone), yet you've posted here thousands of times? Basically go out and by Interiors as soon as you can, it'll be one of the best albums you ever own. Satchel's 'The Family' is another great album. He's got so much great stuff, then only work of his that I never really got into was Pigeonhead and that's the only time I've seen him live (Aro Space, Seattle 1998). You should defo not miss this gig as Dan Glendining (former Headswim) is also supporting in London.

    I know about Brad but don't know any of their names except for Stone's.

    Thanks for the heads-up, I'll see what I can do.
