I saw RJA play a venue in Ft.Lauderdale that has a cap of 999, and they barely got 150 in their, but props to them for continuing on. And hopefully this gets Sparks the Rescue some more exposure.

weird pairing. STR is so much better.

I think a lot of it is because their singer is a douche bag. I saw them in 2008 in Germany and all he did was list cities in the US he hates playing because "they don't draw". He was like "screw those kids". And now four years later, they went from headlining warped to barely filling venues. Karma.

Im hoping they add an Oregon sometime in the future--I used to really like RJA, and Ive wanted to see STR for a while.

It seems so long that they first broke out. Good for Sparks too.

no way, RJA might be my favorite band, don't get me wrong i love Sparks
I think they are 2 of the most underrated bands out there , i have to go to this

might go to this. I only know/listen to 'Don't You Fake It' though so I'd mainly be going for Sparks.

Do you feel like a man when you push him around?

RJA is the worst band I have ever seen live, but I will go just for Sparks if it comes in my area!!

this band is living proof that churning out one Top 40 hit will do nothing for your long term success if you don't build up your core fanbase before your big break.

I'm calling Studio at Webster Hall for the NYC date.

You are 100% correct. Two bands I manage are opening. A story left untold and Clearview.

Good shit. RJA played there on their last tour so I figured it'd be a repeat.
