Because I was going to Friday's show anyway and am poor?
Or if you don't like that, because I haven't seen them since Fort Reno '08 and it's about damned time again.
ooh, Saturday please! Exit Clov @ the Velvet Lounge was my first DC show - I'd love to see them again
I would totally love those Saturday tix. I have been meaning to see them for sometime but just haven't. My lil sister is in town and we're looking for cheap fun. And I dig both Mancini & the Mates and Poor but Sexy. K? thanks.
i looove me some poor but sexy. the name is representative of my current state of affairs.
Just discovered the band via the spot in Examiner this morning; love the sound! I've been to Strathmore several times, so that's preferrable. Good luck with the new album!
I saw the band twice in 2007. Once at the Black Cat, Another time during the 2007 District Awake Festival with StellarStar as the headliners. I find their music unique and quite enjoyable. I'm interested in the saturday show at IOTA!
Hey Guys,
I've been keeping up with Exit Clov since I first saw you all in 2007. Ever since your performance at the Black Cat! I've been hooked. Exit Clov is one my favorite bands! I've been spreading the word about you all. Your sound is like nothing I've ever heard before. REP D.C.
Peace and Love,
Ps. I don't know if you all remember me or not, but I was the lead vocalist in Color Blind Society.
sorry I forgot to put which show, @ Strathmore Mansion
