Just on the off-chance, since they have a new album coming out soon, I clicked on over to the Sons & Daughters web site to see if they were going touring in support of it. My day was made when I discovered not only were they touring, but they were coming to DC and playing a venue that hadn't yet pissed me off, the Rock and Roll Hotel. And tickets were inexpensive, only $12 each, and I didn't have to buy them from TicketBastard.

I quickly grabbed the wallet and ordered two tickets, pleased as punch.

After I completed the transaction, I thought, I should post this--those few people who read my blog might actually be interested in this show, too. And that's when it hit me.

I looked at the date again, and swore. March 19. When we'll be out of town on our trip to Chile and Easter Island.

Gah.

Does anyone want to buy two tickets to see a very cool Scottish band who sound like what you would get if you crossed X with Big Country?
