I wonder if they'll play the Brooklyn date on the 31st?

Wish this was coming by me. I would love to see both bands.

I have no interest in seeing this despite like Anberlin. Good for them though.

They've managed to not become a victim of a major label.

Anberlin are going to need to step up their game. If they sound like shit in a 500-person club, they're going to fall flat on their face in front of real crowds.

Who's in Smashing Pumpkins now? Is it just billy and randoms?

**OurLadyCoolbean** · 09:31 AM on 09/13/12 #21

This is the best news I've heard in a long time. The Pumpkins are my favorite band, Anberlin are right up there, and they'll be playing in Seattle while I'm there. The pieces have fallen into place...

Great opportunity for Anberlin.

I'm sure they are working VERY HARD to meet your oh-so-important expectations.

Is it really that weird a pairing?

SP are alt rock
Anberlin are alt rock

They should get some good exposure by this
Hopefully they announce a Toronto headliner date

Holy crap, I need to go to this

You really wanna do this again?

I struggle with them live sometime as well. Stephen is a good singer but if they're going to bring out touring musicians, why not bring some people who can do back-up vocals? A lot of their songs lose the power without the harmonies or additional vocalists (see: "Whisper & Clamour").

This is great news, good for Anberlin. I'd love to go to this if it were coming anywhere near me.

Great exposure for Anberlin!

But with no dates being near me I'll just wait for their headliner!

Ughhh no Houston. First Yellowcard isn't having a Houston show and now this.
