The Club passes the test

There have been a few concerts at The Club at Tom, Dick & Harry's, but Wednesday's trio of Silversun Pickups, Cage the Elephant and Manchester Orchestra was the first real test as a sold out, packed house. Everything went off without a hitch and I'll bet I heard it a dozen times...."this place is so cool, we finally have a club type place for concerts." The sound seemed pretty good (that's with earplugs in). We turned away many people for this concert that was pretty much sold out by the end of day Tuesday. The moral of the story folks is when we announce a concert you're interested in at The Club, get your tickets. Don't waste time like 3 guys from the U.P. did. They showed up Wednesday afternoon thinking they could walk up and buy tickets. They drove 3 hours and saw the sold out sign. Yeah, they should have called. But you know what? The story has a happy ending. While doing a radio interview with 106.7 The Zone, Cage the Elephant heard about their plight and added them to their still under capacity guest list. To top it off, I hear the 3 guys also got to meet Silversun backstage!

This weekend, country upstart Justin Moore is at The Club. That's Saturday at 8pm and tickets are only 8 bucks. Not sure what will be a bigger thrill...performing at The Club or singing the national anthem at the Packers game the next day. Moore tells Kendra Meinert of the PG that this will be his first time ever singing the anthem...especially in front of 70,000+!
