Emo’s has a nice lineup for the price on Friday night with music by Hockey, Constellations and The Postelles.  We’ve seen 2 of the 3 bands on the lineup and can tell you that the ticket will be worth the price.  Below you’ll find that Hockey tune we dropped on you quite some time ago.

Date 12/17/09
Location La Zona Rosa
Doors 8pm
Tickets Sold Out Suckahs

It looks like the days of us keeping Phoenix in our own little private world are over and getting tickets to one of their shows will be quite the challenge from here on out.  Congrats on the fame guys!  We of course know you’ve heard about the huge 101x sponsored show with Phoenix, White Denim and Hockey at La Zona Rosa.  You probably already know it’s sold out too.  You may have even searched craigslist only to find that tickets are scalping for close to $100!  That’s just silly.  I guess you shouldv’e seen them at ACL.  Don’t fret too much kids, I’m sure they’ll be back around sometime.
