Duncan Sheik & Original Cast Members Performing, Touring

[tipsy texter]

Hey Nancy.  I finally got my comment to go through on my favorite song so hopefully someone will tell me the name of it!

[Nancy]

I approved the comment, so hopefully the mystery will be solved soon  

My husband's favorite song is the first one of her set.  I can't decide which is my favorite.  There are definitely a few that I can't get out of my head.

i'd upload all my converted mp3's for everyone, but i have no clue how. any suggestions?

[hurricanemimi]

upload them to sendspace/megaupload/whatever.
compress them on a mac by control clicking and clicking compress, it makes it into a zip file.

i have no idea if this worked, but here's the link for Duncan Sheik's songs...if it works, I'll do Lauren's next.

Yep, it worked perfectly.  And you even titled the tracks for me, thanks!!  I'll go back and put them on youtube when I get a chance.

[littlebutterfly10]

Perfect!  Thanks so much

[latte and a prayer]

Thanks for the audio!  I went to the Wilmington show last night and it was phenomenal.  I'm really excited for the Whisper House show.

EDIT: Oh, and Mama & Papa Gallagher were there and were incredibly sweet as always.  And, Keith Powell from 30 Rock was talking to them after the show.

a question for those of you who've gone to one of Duncan's shows already - how far in advance did you buy your tickets? he won't be in my area until March, and i'd like to wait until closer to the date to buy tickets because my bank account is pretty shabby at the moment, but i don't want them to sell out! sorry, i tend to be paranoid about these things

[tipsy texter]

^^ we got ours the day before and they were only $20.00, I believe.  Of course, this was in Atlanta, at a really small venue.  It will be worth it if you go, they were both incredible.

[Nancy]

I bought our tickets a month or so before the show. They were $25 each I think. The show wasn't anywhere near sold out in Charleston!! Duncan even made a joke about the poor turnout.

[littlebutterfly10]

hm ok, i think i'll wait until at least Jan. for a March show. thanks for the info!

[tipsy texter]

^^:) i think that will be just fine!

Even though this event is passed i'm pretty sure there was another thread for this. God, I always wanted to say that.

[Louise Bourgeois]

Congratulations.

He's coming to LA in February with Lauren Pritchard!  That's gonna be so awesome, I'm going to see it!

[littlebutterfly10]

He'll also be in Philly on March 14

[dancingskittle]

i just bought tickets for my friend and i to see them on March 8th in Ann Arbor, Michigan!
soooooo pumped!

question for anyone who has gone and done general admission... how early did you get there before hand in order to get a good spot up front?  past concerts i've gone to have required hours of waiting outside for a good standing room spot and i was just starting to think about what time we want to get there so we're not way in the back.

[maynotbecool]

AHHH THANK YOU MICHELLE! i'm praying the lauren one works

my guess is that at the concert lauren will definitely be there and JGJ might. he was originally also supposed to go on the tour with them but then he got farragut north.

When I went to the Duncan/Lauren show in Wilmington, Johnny's mom said he had told them he wouldn't be touring with them pretty much from the beginning, but they put his name on the information and made him look bad when he didn't end up being there.  So, from that, I'm not sure he'll ever join this tour, as much as I would want him to.

Hey has anyone seen Duncan Sheik in concert? I'm seeing him soon, and I was just wondering about the contents and stuff. I know he is touring with Lauren Pritchard (yay) so I didn't know like how much SA stuff he does...
Or if anyone knows if he does any sort of meet and greet after the show or autographs...same with Lauren.
Any info would be nice =)

[a smaller heart]

I saw them on Monday. Although it's advertised as Lauren opening the show, it's actually her and some of Duncan's band members (including Holly Brook and Ben Kalb), and they switch off songs. So Lauren actually only played three of her original songs. I was kind of bummed about that. :\

Then Duncan's part of the show starts with um.. various Duncan songs (sorry, I'm not that familiar with his solo stuff). Then Lauren came back out and they played:

Mama Who Bore Me
Touch Me
The Dark I Know Well
Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind

Then Duncan and his band played a set of songs from Whisper House.

After the show, it's pretty weird, but we met him in the parking lot while standing by my car talking. He just walked by and we asked him if he would mind coming over and signing some stuff. So he came over and we stood by my car talking, just the three of us. He is incredibly nice.

Then we walked over to the tour bus to wait for Lauren, and Duncan came over and signed stuff for people there, too. Everyone else left after he signed their stuff, so my friend and I were the only people waiting for Lauren. She signed stuff for us and took pictures and was really cool.

Oh and for the question above about general admission... my friend and I just got there when doors opened and were able to get seats right in the front row.

And just because I want to show it off

Can someone upload Duncan's new CD to sendspace? or something
I really wanna hear it
