the features with the lucky guns.
is this show on?

sure why wouldn't it be

I hadn't heard. I was wondering when I'd next get to see the Features.

The question at hand-- is it worth sitting through Lucky Guns to see the Features? Once for that band was enough.

The Lucky Guns still exist?

i was walking to class and saw a flyer for the show.....then after the class was over i saw someone raking down and a few others.....

i'm going to call the boro and find out.......

you know...why is it when i want to do something i cant becasue of that little thing we call work and income come into play?

looks like i wont be gracing the doors of the boro on friday due to work engagements.....let me know how it is.....laugh in my face and treat like a rag doll......

again....they will probably play paid to think and circus just because i didnt show up just to spite me..it always happens..the shows i cant make it to they always play those songs....

ok, i will be traveling from knoxville- what kind of venue is the boro? what time do they usually start? what kind of crowds do they get there?

Bearheat, do you want the bad news or the good news first?

OK, well, the bad news is that the Boro is what some would call a 'dive bar.'  I personally love going to shows there, but it's definitely a bar and sometimes the sound is not the greatest.

The good news is that the Features usually play for longer at the Boro than they do at any other venue, so you really get your money's worth.  And they sometimes play songs there that you don't get to hear very often.  The Boro is definitely the Features' 'home court.'  The place is usually packed for their shows there - mostly with college-age kids, and the crowd is usually very into the show.  The Features don't usually start at the Boro until AT LEAST 10:30.

I don't think the Boro is a dive bar - just because the sound is not the greatest doesn't make it a dive bar - they have a great great beer selection - dive bars do not have New Castle, Bass, and Sierra Nevada all on tap and Sammy Smith's in the bottle with many other imports to pick from- if you want a real dive bar you can go down the street to gentleman jim's I think all they have is PBR and bud, bud light - now the pool tables at the boro suck but they do have 3 or 4 of them and they have 2 dart boards and outdoor patio and many tvs - the food is not half bad either (for bar food)

my .02 cents

i'll agree with blightman. it's dirty and small, but that's part of the charm. the biggest downfall is that bands have to bring their own pa. instruments without mics sound pretty good in there. better than sebastian's or the red rose.

thank you jamiecarroll, you answered my question- and the good news by far out weighs the bad. and since i am not going there to a) play pool b)throw darts or c) eat, it should be a damn good show (although i am sure all the amenities are sound- i am not knocking another town's bar- just why would you do any of that while the features are playing?).

personally i think the boro is one fo th best venues i've been to. the sound might not be the best in the world...but there are ways you can get round it. plus its in walkign distance from mtsu so i dont have to drive to it or worry about transportation......and the beer selection very excellent!!!!!!!!!!

the rage list this show as the lucky guns headlining but this is not the case is it?

i might make the show tomorrow. i don't have to work this weekend, seeing as how i was promptly fired this afternoon (and yes, i have been drinking mucho since). boys, better put on a show.

lawnwrangler if you come in town you know that they will put on 1 hell of a show - now get your drunk ass down here so we can party

like this

That sucks you were fired. Giving employee discounts again?

Will the Elaine and My Tyger show still happen?

Doesn't look like I'll make this one.

That sucks that you got fired, LW. Why did you get fired?

jc- i am a bad waiter.

dv- i hope so.

b-man- is that me little brother's roomate there?

speaking of lil' brother, i will propose a preshow party at his place. he's in walking distance to el boro.

There you go, take advantage of family. Actually, I'm sure he'll be real upset that he might have to party before the show.

so who is playing first? i need to know this because i get off work at midnight (blockbuster employee) but i can try to leave by 10-1030.......can i count on the features going on last?

I still want to know how is playing first
I still want the wrangler to come in town
And I don't want to walk from the guru's to the Boro that is way to far

the lucky guns are 1st
i have faith the lawnwrangler will be there
find a sober driver

I'm sorta sad to miss it...but I'd rather not suffer through Lucky Guns again. So I'm here at 10:35 on a Friday night and about to head to bed.

Stupid career keeps me from playing anymore.

Personally, I really liked the Lucky Guns, but I can see how other people wouldn't dig it, especially with some of the opinions expressed on here in the past.

The Features were brilliant as usual, but I think I prefer the environment of the Red Rose. I would also have liked them to have played more songs.

I also noticed that people kept begging for Thursday... WHY? You know they'll play it last, so why encourage them to play it?

she was probably a new fan and did not realize it always comes last.
