Built To Spill Tour

One of my favorite bands, Built to Spill, is currently on tour in Europe. I started listening to them about 8 years ago after I saw a live show. I’ve been hooked ever since.

I heard on the Current that they have tickets on sale for their new tour, and that they will be playing First Avenue at the end of June. I think I will go pick up tickets the next time I’m in town.

My conflict is that the last time I saw them at First Ave, the crowd was the worst I’ve ever seen. It was filled with teenagers who were “moshing”. It was a really bad experience. I’m hoping that it will be better this time. My only consolation is that I saw Doug Martsch on a solo tour once, and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen.
