Yeasayer/MGMT Show in DC... needs your help
I have been watching the blog posts, Facebook group #s and Tweets (from Twitter, I know, I know... it is a goofy word) on this topic all morning, and things seem to be blowing up.
If there ever were an issue that combines some of the JESS3 staple interests, this would be it:
- Indie music/supporting up-and-coming artists
- DC-based things that are "happening" or about to happen ;-)
- Unique and real uses of social media
Here are the links:
- Brightest Young Things explains the situation.
- Facebook steez (join and show your support!)
- Patrick Wixted and Leslie Bradshaw (me) at New Media Strategies have both posted about it.
- Another DC friend and blogger, Andre Blackman, is also taking up arms.
- Brian Devine and Leslie are twittering the play-by-plays here and here.
- UPDATE: Activists U*N*I*T*E over at "Music As I See It"
- UPDATE: DCist picks up our buzz (links to Patrick Wixted and Andre) via Brian Devines email to them.
- UPDATE: The Yellow Stereo music blog lists the effort as an example of how to get a sold out show. Hollerback.
- UPDATE: The hits just keep on rolling... Rogo 2000 joins arms and adds a vid from Letterman and this editorial note: I've been skeptical of MGMT, but their recent performance on Letterman may have convinced me to give them another chance.
- UPDATE: Washington City Paper has gotten hip to the buzz, and I love that they cherry picked it from DCist... means that they are listening!

YEASAYER ADDS NEW WASHINGTON DC SHOW IN APRIL!
January 15, 2008.
Dear Music Lovers.
I can't explain the flattery and warmth felt by everyone's compassion and pleas to move the show to the bigger room in the Black Cat. It's honestly a wonderful feeling and a pleasant surprise.
I do wish we would of gotten wind of this a lot earlier because it might of been possible at a time other than a couple days prior to the show. The reason we can't move the show has to do with the movement of numbers and the reds and blacks, and honestly, once you get into this discussion, it can really drain the life force out of the music. So I'll spare you this; just keep the passion.
In response, we feel we need to accommodate the requests made by everyone so we are currently booking another Black Cat show, this time on the MAIN STAGE in the first week of April. We would also like to offer a special treat to those who couldn't get in and those in the know. Prior to the show being advertised to the public, we are going to offer an early presale of tickets so we can make sure that all of you can take part. To be included in this program simply send an email to jason@nowwearefree.com and in the subject put "YEASAYER + BLACK CAT" and in the body put your email address. When we are ready to presell the tickets to our secret society, I will send you an email and a link to purchase your tickets.
I know this doesn't settle the score, but we are doing our best. You have brought us warmth this winter, so we must return the favor the best we can.
Much Love.
Sir James Winnie
YSR MGR.
