I just wanted to let those in the area know that the Gin Blossoms are playing at Auburn Univ. in Alabama on Friday, April 20th. Ticketsare $5 for students and $7.50 for the general public. At that price itis definitely worth driving a distance! Dishwala is one of the opening bands and I'm not sure of the other one yet. Tickets are on sale now! If you want anymore info feel free to e-mail me! Talk to y'all later! -BYE! ****** Hello I am somewhat of lurker..... But, had to respond to the email.. by Alicia.. I went to see the Gin Blossoms show at Catholic University on March 25.. Once again, they have proved what a fabu band and real professionals they are.. Back up bands: The Odds (from Canada?) and Three Day Wheelie (originally from a band called Lost Luggage.) Both were good, and both having that kind of "Replacements", "Squeeze" feel to them.. The kids loved them. The Gin Blossoms did a great show, lots of old stuff from "Up and Crumbling" and the entire new album.."Congratulations, I'm Sorry.".. with a couple of covers including a Tom Petty -- where local Maryland rocker, Tommy Keene came on stage to play lead guitar, and then the ever popular "Flaming Moe song" from the Simpsons.. The crowd were obviously die hard Gin Blossoms fans -- and all had big time TWANGY fun. A very tight show indeed. I really like that new song, "Follow you down (?)" with that harmonica action in the beginning.. I asked the lead singer (Robin) after the show if he was a big "Bluebells" fan.. because, the harmonica sounded similar to the beginning of an old Bluebells song called "Cat." He then replied.."ah, no..", and then replied, "well, Andrea if it did....I never said we ever did anything original.." and then we had a good laugh.. All of my friends who went to the show just raved. It was also nice to see old friends... and listening to the music that always brings me back to drinking Jagermiester and pitchers of Budlite at old Tempe bars and ..... dancing til the cows came home..
