What time do shows start at The Opera House?

[StoneMtn]

What time do shows normally start there? Is it one of those early venues, or more like 10:30-11:00? It would be a mid-week show, if that makes a difference.

[phishtaper]

what is the event? it should say doors on the tickets (ie., 8:00). assume the first band will come on an hour after doors (ie., 9:00), the next band will come on about 60 to 90 min after that (ie., 10:00 to 10:30).

or, to be sure, head out there early, ask, then go out for dinner in the area. i would do that

[StoneMtn]

It's The Buzzcocks tomorrow night, and the concert listing is saying 8:00. If that's realistic, then I'm not doing it. If it's not starting until like 10, I can do it.

I have to find out if there's an opener.

I've wanted to see this band for a quarter-century.

[StoneMtn]

Aha!

Some band called The Dollyrots are opening up, and on their MySpace page they "estimate" they'll play from 8 until 10.

I think I'm finally seeing The Buzzcocks!

Usually you can call the venue day of show and they'll tell you show times. Maybe it could work in this case...

[phishtaper]

cool. will be fun to finally see a band you've wanted to for so long, SM.

pollstar says just these same two bands, so likely not a 3rd, but ya never know.

enjoy! should be a sweaty night

[StoneMtn]

Uch. I had to forego the show. My life is too insane right now to squeeze in a concert.

I will complain about this for the next 25 years, or until I do eventually see them.

doesn't it suck when life get in the way of fun?

are they any good w/o howard devoto? (like the English Beat, who are now Dave Wakeling and some brand new band. Although, they are quite good - saw them last week at the Shenkman. Ranking Roger and Everett Morton tour the UK as the Beat, which is their real name anyway.)
