Some people know who this band is, some don't. Those who do are fucking STOKED. They have been around for 20+ years, (their first single came out in 1983), and have never taken 'time off'. They have put out 11 full length albums, and 50+ releases inclusing singles, EPs, and collections, and that is not including solo albums by members, collaborations with other bands, or side projects. It's their second or third time coming to North America EVER, and Vic is the last stop on the tour.

Check this out: so far, we've sold advance tickets to people flying in from Edmonton, Santa Cruz California and Houston Texas for the show.

I saw them about ten years ago in Detroit and it was a fucking cool show. - Tue, 4 May 2004 7:54pm

shhhhhh...let them all believe they suck. There are enough NMA fans out there to pack the joint as it is, no need to get any new ones. Many years ago, back in 1990 or so, the band I was in at the time in Calgary nearly scored the opener show to NMA playing at Mac Hall Ballroom at the UofC, but in the end, Ninth Configuration scored the gig. Man, it was great - Thu, 6 May 2004 5:51am

Totally true, NMA are great! I remember they were also the guys that people/ radio used to get mixed up with The (Australian) Models and The Models from Edmonton as they were all on the scene the same time.

Amazed and happy to see they're still at it, although with all the huge 80's revival goin' on, it's not a BIG surprise. It'd be worth the small admission $$ as NWA would appeal to anyone who likes Rock & 80's & New Wave. Good Score Liam! - Thu, 6 May 2004 7:26am

Admittedly, I don't know who NMA are, but nevertheless this topic seems out of place. Please note there is an "Advertise" section up at the top there for notices of a commercial nature. - Wed, 12 May 2004 5:43pm

Ummm.... okay.... this happens all the time here. NMA are a MUSICAL band, and this is the Musical Chitchat section... It doesn't belong in "shameless self promotion" unless Justin Sullivan himself now works at Lucky bar, it doesn't belong under Show reviews, because it hasn't happened yet.... and NMA is a very influential band who has a very loyal following and some of us would like to ":discuss" the show upcoming rather than just seeing a banner ad for the show? - Thu, 13 May 2004 4:09am

OK, I guess I didn't make myself clear...my original post was directed at Liam from Lucky specifically and not the rest of you guys...
I don't have a problem with discussing upcoming shows, I just don't want to see the message board get choked with ads...there's already a place for that. - Thu, 13 May 2004 6:51am

Well, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it-it's just that time and again I've seen good message boards get ruined because they end up getting spammed with endless commercial posts-victims of their own popularity. Not that I'm saying this is what's happening here-it's just easier to nip this thing in the bud than to try and fix it once it's already gotten out of hand - Thu, 13 May 2004 10:33am

"...my original post was directed at Liam from Lucky specifically and not the rest of you guys..."

Hmmm... does that mean to say that:

a) Your original post (in a public forum) was a private message, rather than a public criticism, or
b) Your post (again, in a public forum) was meant only for those people who happen to agree with your personal point of view?

Seems like you're 0 for 2. Anyway... I'm not going to lose any sleep over it - it's just that time and again I've seen good message boards get ruined because they end up getting spammed with endless TRIVIAL NIT-PICKING posts - victims of their own ISSUES/AGENDA. Not that I'm saying this is what's happening here - it's just easier to...
...try to hide your real issues with somebody behind pointless public debate rather than deal directly with whoever you may or may not have those issues with, perhaps?

What is the real deal, anyway, yo?

When WAS the last time MotherSun played at Lucky? - Fri, 14 May 2004 2:49pm

hmmm...let's see you have a message directed at me, and yet you're posting it in a public forum. Could it be that you're breaking your own rules? dumbass

Anyway, you're totally right, I'm actually just frustrated because my band hasn't played at Lucky lately so I'm taking it out on the club's promoter by asking him to advertise bands in the *advertising* section...God, I'm so humiliated. How will I sleep at night? - Fri, 14 May 2004 4:44pm

I admit it. I'm stoked. I think it's going to be a wicked show.
