DMW: Digital Music W...

As promised, Goldfrapp returns to the States with a handful of dates (its always a handful of dates). And once again, the Midwest is screwed because there are no dates whatsoever for that region. Interestingly, this second US leg of the tour brings the band to larger seated venues and higher ticket prices. $75 is the most for better seats while the crap seats are at $39.50. The band is indeed moving on up... Radio City Music Hall. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for dancers, pole dancing and theremin play.

09/12/08 New York, NY, Radio City Music Hall
09/14/08 Toronto, ON, Danforth Music Hall
