Greg, I was not interested in Boygenius; disinclined to buy it. Then it garnered a bunch of "A" reviews and I bought it. But it remained unopened: disinclined to pay it. Now ... I give. I will play it; disinclined to like it.
Boygenius tickets for a GA show in Vancouver at a sports arena configured for smaller, theatre size capacity (5.000+ people? maybe - not less than 3500 for sure) in the fall are going for $500 to $1000 and $more. I am amazed. I guess I am out of touch or old or both and more but it seems nuts to me. I got my ticket for a Sun Ra Arkestra show last night at a much better venue (room to dance, wine for sale, not too big) for $45. Something is out of whack.

I looked up that show and it's Boygenius and Carly Rae Jepsen… yeah, that'll get people out of the house
Ah.
What I'd seen hadn't mentioned Carly Rae. Yep, she's a draw .... and a local to boot.
