1/18/2007 12:42:57 AM

Yeah, I'll be there.

1/18/2007 1:12:19 AM

Hopefully I can make it to one of these. They will probably sell out before I know if I can, though.

1/18/2007 1:31:38 AM

i wish the special guest was stephen pedersen and cohen and biggers(from the nein) would play some white octave songs together. and hancock would just happen to be in the audience to play bass.

and i want a pony, too.

1/18/2007 1:33:32 PM

1/20/2007 12:45:48 PM

^^ditto

I'm so there friday night

1/20/2007 1:11:12 PM

the special guest is....

Annuals

get on it

1/23/2007 5:28:46 PM

if you want more people to come to this, you should make it known on the flyer on kings' page that the annuals will be coming.

was it done this way because the annuals played at the cradle and you didn't want to piss the cradle people off? (so you're safe to announce now that that show is over?)

1/23/2007 5:33:43 PM

How do I preorder tickets to this thing

1/23/2007 5:42:06 PM

^^ Annuals actually announced it at the show last night.

1/23/2007 5:48:06 PM

i know.

[Edited on January 23, 2007 at 5:52 PM. Reason : but it's after it would matter to the cradle.]

1/23/2007 5:52:29 PM

Ace Fu wouldnt let us annouce it untill today.

so we didnt wanna piss of Ace Fu.

[Edited on January 23, 2007 at 9:36 PM. Reason : so we have new flyers printed out with the Annuals on them.]

1/25/2007 1:13:24 AM

1/25/2007 1:23:00 AM

I really hope arthur digby sellers play that one song with the long title. i always forget the name of it.

1/25/2007 3:18:58 AM

I'll go for Future Islands, too.

Come summer, though, I'll be IN Future Islands.

1/25/2007 5:59:48 AM

1/27/2007 11:01:40 AM

1/30/2007 2:46:48 PM

Will anybody sell me a ticket for night one?

1/30/2007 11:11:10 PM

does anyone have an extra ticket for night 1?

[Edited on January 31, 2007 at 1:06 AM. Reason : ]

1/31/2007 12:57:52 AM

1/31/2007 1:38:24 AM

I'll pay double value!

1/31/2007 2:12:07 AM

2/2/2007 11:47:46 AM

haha this was on pitchfork

http://pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/Mountain_Goats_Annuals_Head_WKNC_Benefit#40895

Mountain Goats, Annuals Head WKNC Benefit

North Carolina State University radio station WKNC will hold its forth annual Double Barrel Benefit tonight, February 2, and Saturday, February 3, at Raleigh King's Barcade club. And unlike your college radio station's lame fundraiser featuring terrible student bands, this one is actually good.

Mountain Goats, Megafaun, the Old Ceremony, and the Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers are lined up for Friday's sold-out performance, while Annuals, Future Islands, Tiger Bear Wolf, and the Nein will play Saturday.

Tickets cost an unbeatable $6 ($8 for those paying at the door), and all proceeds benefit the station.

2/2/2007 12:58:16 PM

damn I'd like to go to do some scouting for the riverrock festival, but I can't go on saturday and obviously friday night is sold out.

2/2/2007 1:33:48 PM

Saturday is sold out as well

2/3/2007 12:18:44 PM

congrats on selling out both shows

next year jack the prices up to 8 bucks (10 bucks at the door)

[Edited on February 3, 2007 at 12:48 PM. Reason : ]

2/3/2007 12:48:04 PM

you know, thats not a bad idea


actually though, for it being sold out I expected body to body people in there, but it really wasnt like that, their fire code must not allow too many people in there, and I imagine thats how they determined the ticket sales amounts

2/3/2007 1:00:58 PM

anyone have a ticket or two for tonight's show?

2/3/2007 1:32:58 PM

i think we sold 175 tickets for each night.

now if there were 175 people all at once I would doubt it.

2/3/2007 4:25:25 PM

please?
anyone?

2/3/2007 4:52:42 PM

IM THE MERCH BITCH TONIGHT

2/3/2007 8:12:19 PM

MOVE THEM T-SHIRTS

RAWHIIIIIIIIDEEEEE
