I think that is the main problem with people's outlook on Sparta; expectations of another at the drive in. I think Wiretap Scars is a great album for what it is. No its not at the drive in, but thats why their name is Sparta. - Thu, 22 Apr 2004 9:15pm

holy shit..Sparta in Vic. That will be a great show. Wiretap Scars is a great album.

Anybody know of any Vancouver shows? I went to their website, but they are behind on their tour dates, nothing posted in Canada. - Fri, 23 Apr 2004 7:47am

Well of course there is going to be an expectation of guys that were in a great band when they start a new one. That's sort of a no brainer, eh? - Fri, 23 Apr 2004 12:37pm

The Mars Volta went on to create something fresh whereas Sparta continued in the same vein but without the passion of ATDI. That's my opinion and it's better than yours. - Fri, 23 Apr 2004 1:04pm

I agree that ATDI and The Mars Volta were and are more groundbreaking bands than Sparta. But still, Sparta has its own thing going, and I for one, am stoked to see them play. - Fri, 23 Apr 2004 1:10pm

Well said. I'm stoked too....just poor and unwilling to spend too much on a pretty good band. - Fri, 23 Apr 2004 1:18pm

I saw Sparta at the Commodore last February with Hot Water Music, Dredge and Glassjaw and I will say it was a GREAT show... we are lucky they are visiting Victoria and I am excited to see them at Sugar (which is one of the better venues in town). - Fri, 23 Apr 2004 7:22pm

Anyone know why Marz Volta Crapped out on the Van show? - Sun, 25 Apr 2004 8:40pm

It wasnt The Mars Volta from my understanding. The whole APC, TMV show was cancelled becuase Maynard got sick. Thats what I heard. Ticketmaster did a full refund. - Sun, 25 Apr 2004 11:16pm
