[POSTPONED: November 4, 2020] Diet Cig / Sad13 / Thin Lips [rescheduled from May 14 Union Transfer]
I was really bummed when this show was postponed. I was even more bummed when it was moved to the Church. I really liked the venue when we first arrived, but by the end, I was hot and sweaty and crowded and worn out.
Then back in September, the venue sent out this message
We that brief note of optimism, now for the bad news: The rescheduled show w/ Diet Cig has now been officially “canceled”. When we rescheduled this show a few months back, we thought we would be in a much different place than where we are currently.
Exactly NOT what I wanted to experience in a club. So this postponed makes sense to me. Maybe next time they’ll move them back to a bigger venue.
I have wanted to see Diet Cig ever since I saw them on a Tiny Desk Concert–they are a bundle of energy and the duo play super catchy pop punk. I wanted to see them before they lost their energy.
I missed them the first time they came around and last time around they played at the First Unitarian Church, a venue I dislike. So when they announced this show at Union Transfer I was so excited. This cancellation was a major bummer for me.
Especially since now that they rescheduled it is apparently being moved to the Church again (does this mean sales are really poor?)
Sad13 is the solo moniker of Sadie Dupuis the singer of Speedy Ortiz. They were wonderful live (and I was right in front of Sadie to watch her terrific guitar work). I don’t really know much about the Sad13 songs but I assume they will be great if she is behind them.
I saw Thin Lips at the Philly Music Fest and they were absolutely fantastic. I loved them and was looking forward to seeing them again. They play catchy pop punk with pointed lyrics. Outstanding.
So, I sure hope all three can come around for the postponed date (and I hope it sells better and has to get moved out of the Church into a bigger venue).
