Live report: The Embassy + Billie the Vision @ Tack! Tack! Tack!, London UK 03/13/06

Tonight! The Embassy and Bille the Vision and the Dancers at Tack! Tack! Tack! in London! Yes, presale tickets are gone, but I've been told there will still be some available at the door. Don't despair, go!

I know I usually post new music on Wednesdays, but I'm going to postpone our next mp3 until tomorrow. Sad, I know, but I'm taking it a bit slower today. But I do have some IAT PSAs for you:

Advance tickets may be sold out for Monday's TTT! with The Embassy and Billie and the Vision BUT! there will still be a limited amout of tickets available at the door on the night in question. Presales for next month's show coming soon!

David & the Citizens debut US EP is out now and ready for order: [click here]
Six tracks packaged in a lovely digipack.

Only one more day left to preorder the new album "Cirkus" from Gustav and the Seasick Sailors: [click here]
The price goes up when you wait too long, so get on it!

Only two more days left to enter the Spring Wonderland Festival ticket giveaway! Click the banner on the top right!

Pre-sale tickets for next week's TTT! show in London with The Embassy are now sold out! However, all is not lost! There will be a limited number of tickets available at the door for you losers who don't plan ahead. Also note that some of the acts for the next two month's are now listed on the right. Pre-sale tickets for both will be available on Friday.

Heads-up if you were planning on seeing The Embassy in London in March: the first batch of tix have now sold out - TTT has issued another 21 tickets for the show at £5, and may or may not release more. Be decisive if you want in!

TONIGHT: Tiger Lou and Jeniferever at Tack! Tack! Tack! Yeah, I know it's sold out, but if you waited too long to get tickets, you only have yourself to blame. Don't make the same mistake with next month's show featuring The Embassy: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/8984

I guess The Sounds and The Embassy got in a fistfight at the Göteborg Filmfestival and one of the Embassy guys ended up in the hospital.

The Embassy is now officially confirmed for T!T!T! in March.

I'm not exactly sure what to make of this, but it looks like The Embassy might be playing Tack! Tack! Tack! in March: http://www.theembassy.info/
