[CANCELLED: April 28, 2017] Forth Wanderers/Fire is Motion/Pinegrove
I saw Pinegrove at the First Unitarian Church in Philly. I really enjoyed the band show. And I was super excited to see them twice more for the end of the year–especially at Starland Ballroom. In part because because one of my new favorite up and coming Jersey bands Fire is Motion were going to open for them. But also because of this post about the show
hey! really excited to announce a special event we’ve been cookin up for a little while now. it’s a show on dec 29 at the starland ballroom in new jersey – kind of an end-of-year celebration of some of the things we love & believe in: live music, human equality, new jersey. we’re calling it:
the first annual celebration in & of our home state of new jersey & of live music from there too
our idea is to do this every year at various venues throughout the state, and for the shows to always feature NJ bands. this year, we’ve got the fantastic Forth Wanderers & Fire is Motion on the bill!
we’ll also be donating a significant portion of the proceeds from the night to a charity we believe in. now, in the ever-swirling (to put it gently) world we live in today, it seems crazy to have to pick the cause in september that will be most in need come december. so stay tuned for more info on where we’ll be donating. but rest assured that it will be in the promotion of equality & fairness towards all humans on our planet.
really can’t wait for this thing! pre-sale tickets are available now. we also have a special limited 11×17 screen printed version of the show poster that’s only available with the pre-sale!our own nick levine worked hard with us on the poster & we feel super excited about it. the rest of the tickets go on sale on friday at 10am eastern.
Wonder if the posters were shipped out already (I didn’t get one).
Then, out of the blue (at least to me), the band cancelled the tour. This is now the third (and fourth) show this year that has been cancelled on me. Oh well, I’m glad that problems like this come out and I hope that all involved get the help they need. But because I’m selfish, I just wish that they would be revealed a few days after my show instead of before.
