Freak Magnet? Freak Magnet? RE: Violent Femmes Freak Magnet Track List Modern Rock Live ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Hammerstein ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think the show at Hammerstein has been cancelled. Check it out. Frank RatFink746 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Hammerstein ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ according to ticketmaster, the nyc show was postponed. It says the new date is TBA, but then the showdate is listed at 0ct 25, so i think it was postponed until then. Just a question though- why were they postponed? UEdge2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Hammerstein ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just to let you know, I tried to order tickets to the show at Hammerstein on Monday and found out that this show is listed as postponed. It didn't say cancelled, just postponed, but there was no new date for the show. I found out the other 2 in the area were cancelled too, as you guys all know. So, nope, none of them are gonna happen at the moment. I'm wondering, does anyone have any clue why? I was so excited to finally be able to go see them because I've missed them every time they have come around for the past almost 4 years. It's either not an all ages show (i just turned 18) or it's on a day when i have plans that can't be cancelled or I can't find anyone to go to the show with me. This time was perfect; no commitments, had a friend to go with me, all ready to get my tickets....I actually bragged that nothing could possibly go wrong this time. Ahhhh! It's starting to feel as if I'm just not meant to see my favorite band of all time. Have no fear though, I will not give up hope. All of your reviews of their shows have made me realize that it is an experience i must have. Hanging in there, Beth (haziee) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Hammerstein ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was interested in the NY concert, but TIcketmaster has it listed for October 25th, and not the February, what's the deal? Please help, really wanna see the femmes again rxs318 -Pat. Says: That seems to be the question of the week: What's up with the cancelled dates? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yea for Bad Timing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So I'll be the first to admit that I do more than my fair share of bitching and moaning about the amount of time the Femmes spend touring in Europe. Now I find myself angry that the Femmes coudn't either postpone their tour or extend their European tour so that I can see them while I'm in germany this summer. Watch the Femmes play here while I'm in Germany, wouldn't that be something? beky Extatika ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Freak Magnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have not been the best Femmes fan recently so i'm not too caught up. So when exactly is Freak Magnet coming out...or has it already? ChewVitC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Freak Magnet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyone know when Freak Magnet is being released??? I remember hearing something about sometime in Feb., but i really am not sure.. Does anyone know at all when the release date is? Smashkin -Pat. Says: This quote is from the Official Homepage: <> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RE: Violent Femmes Freak Magnet Track List ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wait, does this mean that there will be no Pos. 4th street? NO!! thats the one song i really wanted to hear ( well i want to hear all of them but ya know...) does anyone know if it will be released as a B-side or something? -mike SubAddict ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Modern Rock Live ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just heard on the radio show Modern Rock Live, that the Femmes will be on there in the coming weeks. So i guess they'll mention sometime in the future when they will be on. So that'll be cool.
