cheeseygoodness Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Does anyone know if the NYC show will be a continuation of the Songs for Sorrow accoustic tour or if it will be something different? The age restriction got me puzzled... usually venues in NYC just use wristbands on the over 18s to differentiate who can and who can't drink alcoholic beverages during the show... usually they give wristbands to 21 and over. you can't drink under 21.

We were told that this is part of the acoustic tour but Mika sure loves surprises so I guess we'll have to wait and see. I don't really know what the 18+ policy is about.

The age restriction got me puzzled... usually venues in NYC just use wristbands on the over 18s to differentiate who can and who can't drink alcoholic beverages during the show... This is what the venue's website says: Mika will be playing his only American show of the summer at New York City’s Le Poisson Rouge on Tuesday, June 23rd. The show will be an acoustic, intimate affair, seeing Mika perform as a four-piece with a drummer and two guitarists in tow. He will be playing songs from his newly released EP, Songs For Sorrow, available now via his website – http://www.mikasounds.com – in addition to fan favorites from his incredible debut, Life in Cartoon Motion. The performance in New York City follows a surprise acoustic show Mika played at the Roxy in Los Angeles in April, which saw nearly 2,000 fans line up for tickets. Mika’s performance in this stripped down environment received rave reviews, and gave fans an exclusive opportunity to hear new Mika songs before anyone else. The Le Poisson Rouge show promises to be equally as special and brilliant. Mika’s new acoustic EP, Songs For Sorrow (Universal Republic Records), features the first new songs written after Life in Cartoon Motion’s globe-spanning success. The EP sees him collaborating with Final Fantasy’s Owen Pallett, and was recorded in Los Angeles over the last year. A limited edition version of the EP, featuring a special, beautifully designed hard back book of artwork by some of Mika’s favorite artists, is available exclusively through Paul Smith and Lanvin shops worldwide, as well as via http://www.mikasounds.com. BTW, tickets are already on sale and going fast! Actually, Alice, according to mommylovesmika -- she got the last tickets a few hours ago. The gig appears to be sold out!

Christine Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 The performance in New York City follows a surprise acoustic show Mika played at the Roxy in Los Angeles in April, which saw nearly 2,000 fans line up for tickets. Oh so now it's 2,000 people who lined up for tickets in LA? A few weeks ago it was 1,500 people. And if I recall correctly on April 14 it was about 350 people. Mika’s performance in this stripped down environment received rave reviews, and gave fans an exclusive opportunity to hear new Mika songs before anyone else. The Le Poisson Rouge show promises to be equally as special and brilliant. I have to agree with what Bab said a few days ago that you'd be hard pressed to put on a show as special and brilliant as one where he premiered 4 new songs to the public. I guess we'll have to see.

mommylovesmika Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 The venue tweeted about 90 minutes ago that they were close toselling out! That means tickets went in about 48 hours -- the presale link went live around 2 p.m. Tuesday. So... are we going to see you there again, too? Yes, I'll be there! Looking forward to seeing you and to meeting some new people too! All the best, Joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Clay Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Actually, Alice, according to mommylovesmika -- she got the last tickets a few hours ago. The gig appears to be sold out! I checked for a while after: some tickets were still available. (I think she likely got "some" of the last ones.) But later, and now, tickets are no longer available. Yes, appears sold out now. GOOD for MIKA! http://lepoissonrouge.inticketing.com/events/39116 (I expect there were some who believing the venue's stated sale start to be Friday, held back and lost out!) Anyway, I'll look forward to seeing you & the other MFCers in NYC! Edited May 28, 2009 by A. Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Aimee the venue misunderstood the situation. It's been confirmed that this is strictly 18, no exceptions. If you read back through the thread you'll see they've changed the wording on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
