I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a show.
I love Johnny Foreigner! This makes me even more depressed that I can’t go
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!
This show is going to be even more epic than I thought.
You’ve just completed my freakin’ life. Going to an LC concert is amazing enough… but this combination is blissful. Thankyou for making it All Ages.
OMG, Ditto @Chris….. But no NW shows! Man, I’ve been wanting to see Foreigner for sooo long and no Portland dates!!! (Don’t worry Los C., I’ve seen you guys about four times here.)
Convince them for a Portland show!!!!!
I am so fucking happy right now. You have no idea, you just made my life. Two of my favorite bands in one night, I can’t even comprehend. BEST NEWS EVER.
Damn it!
This show is confirmed for LEGENDARY.
I wanted to see JoFo for the LONGEST time.
oh my god i am so glad i am in montreal instead of vancouver
oh my gooooood
yesterday I was saying to myself that if JoFo toured with LC! I would be the luckiest/happiest girl alive and HERE WE ARE.
life is guuud.
So excited! My two favorite bands on one night!
See you at MHOW night 2.
JF and LC?
I wish I was American.
avawe;vlnaoeivnawoefihasd;lk!!!!!! I’m shitting my pants right now. I am legitimately SHITTING MY PANTS!
This is their first US tour, correct?
you cannot even imagine how happy this made me
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO TO THE WEST COAST THIS SHOW LOOKS TO BE FUCKING EPIIIIIIIC.
Please add Chicago to the tour!
For the love of all that is righteous, please play in Chicago with Johnny Foreigner.
Looking forward to the gig in Laval. Funny thing is…I only found out about the show from the L.C. website. Have seen absolutely no advertising through the usual Alternative outlets. Who is promoting this show?
UM SO FUCKING PUMPED. SO FUCKING PUMPED.
like jersey fist pumping.
OKAY NOT REALLY…but maybe.
ahhhhhhhhhhh YAYAYAYYAYA
Ohhh this makes me so sad there’s no Seattle date this time around.
Yessssss. Yes.
Please just come to the west coast.
WHEN are you coming to los angeles!!.. IF you come ill get all your dicks sucked.!! DO IT! Because im da big boss man,,
I was watching Monday Night Football here in Seattle last night (I am from Chicago and the Bears were playing) and an ad for Budweiser came on in the 2nd half. The music was YMD! Now I don’t drink Bud, but was quite proud of my fav band for hitting the big time American TV airwaves. Well done.
You bastards…I thought I was through with you. First attracted by YMD!, but you kept me waiting for the long play. When it finally came, it was no disappointment. Spun it every day for seven months straight and the attraction grew. Experienced you at the Black Cat, got the second album/EP?!?, and had a second fling with you at the Ottobar. You were a part of me.
Then I started to drift away. No hard feelings, but I felt like I had sucked you dry. I moved on, you moved forward – we were still cool, but had grown distant.
Two months ago by chance I heard the acoustic “Letters to Charlotte,” and gasped. You had grown even more beautiful, seductive. Why had I abandoned you? I tried to make things right again by running down to the (locally owned and independent) record shop and picking up Romance Is Boring.
It is all still there, and then some. The cathartic anger/energy/joy/sarcasm/celebration — the comforting arms, the lifeline on Monday morning drives into work. You are and were always there for me. And now, with Johnny Foreigner thrown in as extra enticement, you beckon me to the Ram’s Head. For what is that a euphemism? I don’t know, but I might have to find out. I am sorry I strayed. Do you forgive me?
i filmed the second video! (didnt actually realise it was on here when i first read the post!!)
wichiten (lc / frankie & the heartstrings / jo fo) was an amazing gig, and i wish i was in america for some of this tour….
I you come down to Argentina again with JoFo I swear I will scream and pass out like a girl in a Beatles concert.
