According to the poll on the right hand side of the screen ... 40% of Swift Current believes the I-Plex will be sold out for the Default show, 53% believe it might sell out, and 6% say there's no way the show Sunday night will sell out. When I say Swift Current, I mean the 15 people who decided to represent ALL of Swift Current!!
With all the hype about the show, I think we've forgotten about the other band that'll be opening Sunday night. Mobile put out their first album in 2006 called "Tomorrow Starts Today"and ended up winning a Juno for Best New Group of the Year. I mentioned it before how they opened for Three Days Grace and Theory of a Deadman ... well I made it to that show and thought they put on an awesome performance! They got a new album coming out called "the Killer", you can hear a bit of the song and see a few seconds of what the band has been going through during the recording. http://www.mobiletheband.com/home
It's tough to say whats going to happen with Default and Mobile coming to town. Just the buzz on the street makes a guy feel like there is some legitimate excitement about the two bands playing Swifty. I've also heard ticket sales are going extremely well. With all that said, I'm pretty positive we won't sell out, only because with the floor open, the I-plex could probably accommodate close to 4000 people .. which would be more than what went to see Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, and Mobile last year in Saskatoon!! The thing is, we don't necessarily have to sell out ... we just have to have decent attendance to show these bands that we can pull together and raise enough interest for other bands to come ... that I think we can do easy!!

We'll actually be calling the guys from Mobile to do a quick interview later this week, keep listening for that!
Tickets are on sale at ticketmaster.ca, Pharmasave, and CD Plus.
Just a quick last thought ... what the *u&k was with Canada Day long weekend this year!!! That wasn't a long weekend! That was a weekend, followed by torture, followed by a day off. I know its an extra day and everything, but why don't they either give us Monday and Tuesday off or just move the holiday to the Monday to make it a 3 day long weekend? We're going to be patriotic anyway, we're Canadians for God's sake!! It was great weather though, I'm sure you had a good time at the lake!!
Make sure you check out the new poll on the right!
