Sending out a whole lotta love to the Eagles of Death Metal, who are actually only a few days away from getting their sweet asses back to Seattle. It’s been far too long since the Chop Suey show/Easy Street WS in-store, and even longer since the Placebo opening dates way back when.
If you’re not familiar with ’em, here’s a new interview on Blogcritics that’s a damn fine introduction:

They’ll be rolling into town opening for the Strokes next week, but if you don’t have/don’t want tickets to that, have no fear. They’re doing a free in-store at the Easy Street on Queen Anne next Monday, April 3, at 9pm.

I’ll be racing back from the airport to make it — see you there?
