Motion City and Sherwood? I'm There.

[Melissa Johnson]

At their show tonight in St. Louis, Sherwood (http://www.absolutepunk.net/sherwood) announced they'd be going on tour this summer with Motion City Soundtrac (http://www.absolutepunk.net/motioncitysoundtrack)k (http://www.absolutepunk.net/motioncitysoundtrack).

[SilenceBrokenTT]

The Higher is also playing...

[Cue the Sun]

heck yes!

[Joe DeAndrea]

Sexy.

[shes.a.ghost]

Always thought they sounded like a watered down Motion City...

[blimpcityhero11]

Niiiiice. I hope MCS hits up amphitheaters.

[LostSymphonies]

MCS will never blow up

[untilnextwinter]

Yes! Pleeeaaase let this come to SF. I miss MCS.

[ashhhh]

sweet, i'll definitely hit up this tour when it comes around here

[ResideInMyMind]

i dont listen to motion much anymore, but they put on a great live show.

[KidLightning]

they announced this in chicago too, but for some reason i thought it was already known.

oh well, in any case i'm excited for the tour and a new MCS album as well :woot:

[boldt_action]

plz come to canada.

[and we whisper]

plz come to pennsylvania...

please!

[joshuagilbert]

tulsa, please!!!

[immacabdriver]

The Higher is also playing...

REALLY?
Hiiiiiiiii.
You just made my day.

[0Zero0]

Niiiiice. I hope MCS hits up amphitheaters.I've always enjoyed the smaller venue atmosphere better, but I don't really care where I see them if it's MCS, Sherwood, and The Higher.

[ESundy36]

Sounds like a fun tour, hope it stops by CT or RI.

[heavyheart_x3]

better come here :]

[Cue the Sun]

It would suck if they skipped Toronto...

[blimpcityhero11]

I've always enjoyed the smaller venue atmosphere better, but I don't really care where I see them if it's MCS, Sherwood, and The Higher.

Yeah... We just have one mid-sized pavillion in Cleveland that I'd love to see them at. Unless they co-headline with someone else (+44 would be sweet!), this will probably be a club tour.

[Vanilla Bear]

nice...sherwood definately reminds me of MCS

[emerypearl]

sweet

[falloutboy.]

oooooooo

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Sherwood reminds me more of Mae than MCS...

[*crying stars*]

That sounds like a great tour.

[thewk]

i dont listen to motion much anymore, but they put on a great live show.
i feel just the same.

[thisismyname]

MCS... i'd want to see them with who ever they're playing with... but maybe thats just me. Im guessing dates will be this summer?

[tonighttonight0]

mcs live is the shit...whoever they're with is worth it...except the fucking aar tour...

[basementsong]

I'm jealous! The last MCS tour support was great but I love Sherwood and it's been a while since I've seen MCS ):

[notoaststereo]

good tour

[average_jane]

this is going to be a fun tour :-)

[tidesdontexist]

This tour is playing REALLY small clubs. Like 500 to 800 capacity venues.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

nice. I want to go.

[Hainzey X]

This tour is playing REALLY small clubs. Like 500 to 800 capacity venues.

How do you know ?

[SilenceBrokenTT]

This tour is playing REALLY small clubs. Like 500 to 800 capacity venues.

That's not small.

Try Chain Reaction small.

I think I'd die if I saw this tour (or MCS) on a bill at Chain Reaction. Seriously... it'd be like heaven.

[untilnextwinter]

Sherwood reminds me more of Mae than MCS...

For some reason, Sherwood's always reminded me of Limbeck. And Limbeck makes me think of Motion City Soundtrack sooo it all comes together!

[sasgirl]

they've already been on tour together this past fall on a college tour

it was great, can't wait for them to tour again

[nfgluver1423]

sweet. i'll probably only be at the MN release show though. going to too many warped dates to see NFG this summer! haha

[_kate]

aw fckyeah! those aren't that small, but that's tenhundredmillionx's better than ampitheater. also sounds like it will be a little easier on the pockets, as well. not like i'd mind paying to see mcs, i'm just way stoked about the smaller atmosphere.

Maybe in smaller cities, but in NY and Chicago it's going to be around the same capacities as last headlining tour which means around 2000

I don't even think we have a club that has 500-800 capacity here

its chicago... call me crazy but, I have a wierd feeling that theres a venue that size somewhere in one of the largest cities in the country... just a hunch.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Fireside?

Oh wait...


:'(

[Russellmcdoogle]

I've been wishing for this. Hopefully they and don't skip the lower parts of Ohio like half the tours I want to see do.

[nateisawesome]

I will go anywhere to see this

been almost a year since ive seen MCS

[RandomHero1230]

I haven't seen MCS since bamboozle and that's a darn travesty.

[Jawknee]

HOLY SHIT, IF THE HIGHER REALLY IS ON THIS -- BEST TOUR OF THE YEAR!!!!!! I already knew about Sherwood and Motion but I'm still really happy about this. I can't get over it - two of my top 5 bands! :-)

[PaintMeBlue]

i usually don't say this, but... OMG!!!!

[Praetor]

Always thought they sounded like a watered down Motion City...
Bant.

[(SceneNameHere)]

Heisel Vs. Tate Tour 2007.

[molly1984]

i dont know the openers... but i guess i dont care :)

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Then obviously you didn't read the news article title, and first two or three posts afterward.

[lindZ629]

That's a hot concert

[sdbrown]

its chicago... call me crazy but, I have a wierd feeling that theres a venue that size somewhere in one of the largest cities in the country... just a hunch.

Not that I know of. Plus they sold out a 2500 capacity venue, I don't think they are going to downgrade to a 800 person one.

Just to give you an idea- the metro is where most of the 'small' bands come to play and it's around 1000 cap. There's too many people in this city to have venues that small and make money.

I'm pretty sure she means she doesn't know about them

[suchacreep]

not surprising...when i saw them live I described them as a poppier "I am the Movie" haha

Metro is 1100.. and then there's Beat Kitchen where the really smaller shows seem to go, unless they push into the burbs. You're right there's definitely a void in the 500-800 capacity clubs.. therefore, I'd be stoked if this tour hit Metro.

[Serenity]

this is fucking awesome news.

[atticusfinch]

Is anyone else having a hard time finding the new Sherwood album at Best Buy?

[garlicgirl1210]

oh my god, oh my god, oh my god....fantastic news!!!!

[offsetgroupie]

I do believe it is smaller club shows. Alot of bands seem to do that these days right around/before a new album comes out. Wasn't that Fall Out Boy/NFG tour in smaller clubs? Just because you can sell out huge clubs/arenas, doesn't mean that's the only venues you play.

[molly1984]

by "i don't know", i meant i have never heard a song by the openers (and i was trying to say i don't care that i don't know them, cause i'll be wanting to see MCS). sorry if i confused you.

[thechrisformat]

even though i was hoping for a headlining tour, this should be fun... i hope theyre main support though.

[SoDakValerie]

Sherwood + MCS = FUN TIMES.
They played about 3 dates together in tiny towns in the midwest. My college was lucky enough to get that "tour". I love both of these bands. They were really decent dudes. Especially Sherwood because the douche bags at my college had no idea who they were.
