Seaweed Postponed ’til the Cold Winds Blow

Crap. It’s been a long, long, looooong time since I listened to any Seaweed, but the announcement that they’d reformed & were coming through town had me pretty excited — felt like I’d stepped into the Wayback Machine and rewound back to college, all of a sudden. I was rarin’ to get my mid-’90s indie-rock on. Now, though, it appears the show (which was scheduled for October 18th at Walter’s) is postponed to a later date.

From the I Heart U crew comes this terse message:

Scheduling conflict with the band.

Tickets will be refunded this week,and they are working on a make up date.

The upside, of course, is that there are at least plans for a makeup show, so that’s cool — better than cold-turkey Andrew W.K.-ing us unfortunate Houstonians, yo. Per the band’s Myspace, they’re hoping to swing back through Texas (it’s all TX dates, not just us, that’re being pushed) sometime around Christmas.

In the meantime, now I’ve just got to dig up a copy of Spanaway. Because sadly, no, I own no Seaweed in any form other than crappy-sounding, half-melted tapes I dubbed in secret up in the old KTRU Music Library. I was but a po’ college student on work-study, after all, w/little $$$ to buy the millions of albums I desperately wanted…
