The Corner has some seriously top acts coming up in the next couple of months. I got pretty excited about Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros (Saturday 27 March, tickets on sale Feb 5) but it wasn’t until I scrolled down a little further that I really got going!
The Mountain Goats are all booked to do a show Wednesday 14th April and there’s no way I’m going to miss them like I did last time. Tickets are on sale Friday 12 February and I’m predicting they’ll go fast, so no faffing about!
Given their HUGE back catalogue there’s no telling what songs will be played on the night, but I’m holding out for this one.

I’ll leave you with this note from their website:
February 2, 2010 I Will See Some Footie Or Know the Reason Why
Yes indeed: we are coming back to Australia! We are psyched. Psyched because we love Australia; psyched because we love playing music there; and psyched because we get there during week three of the AFL Premiership season. We will see you at the shows! And then we’ll see you at the stadium! And then we’ll see you at some more shows. Can’t wait!
This is cute, but funny also because it’s ‘footy’ here, not ‘footie’. Pedantic I know, but it gave me a giggle!

oh yeah that’s right. footy and mountain goats. cant wait.
Hmmm, an Adelaide date. Exciting!
Me either Elspeth!
Thought you might get excited about that date AFM! Maybe they’ll catch a Port/Crows game while they’re there.
They just had to come two months before my 18th….
Do you know what the Corner is like with ID? I’d imagine they’d be pretty strict but I think I’m willing to risk it this time.
Hmmm well I’ve been there a few times when I’ve not been asked at all, but I was also carded two years ago when I was 24. I like to think that I’m still fairly young looking, but I sure as hell don’t look younger than 18! I wouldn’t risk it if I were you – if you don’t get in then you’ve wasted your ticket.
