Wooha! A boring day at the office turned good!

Well you East Coasters can finally catch a gig!

Cheers ;^)

this is a big venue, is he well known enough to sell out all these nights? i hope so

Hopefully the Globetrotters are the opening act.

"Morrissey In Person." I hope the lads show up as well!"

Nope. It's just Morrissey. A cappella.

Moz is doing a world tour but the initial dates are being released in bits & pieces to increase hype, buzz, and heighten the atmosphere. Soon the entire tour plan will be unveiled before you and this Jigsaw puzzle will be complete.

Just got off the phone w/personnel at the venue.
She did say Moz was playing, but did not have prices,,,,,,,,New York City and Moz- it doesn't get any better.

it just keeps getting better and better don't it.

i may have to postpone my summer job for this.

I'm sure da brothas can't wait fo Morrissey!

will this be broadcast on "showtime at the apollo?"

/kidding.

I was bummed to hear that (perhaps) Moz is headlining Lollapalooza since I have no plans to go to some mega-shed for big bucks, even for him.

The fact that he is playing a few small venues gives me great hope. Please come back to Boston and play Avalon or the Orpheum!

I just called the box office and they had no knowledge of morrissey playing there. but who knows..

the apollo theater is such an odd choice. 125th St. will never have seen so many white folks...if this is all true.

Well, he is soooo black...

wow

I agree driving to El Paso was not fun. I hope he plays Austin. Please play Austin.

I am from Los Angeles and I am dumb. Isn't The Apollo all seated, and there is no GA available?

Morrissey is finally acknowledging his roots. Not many people are aware but I am pretty positive he does have some colored blood. Maybe Morrissey will belt out a couple of R&B/Soul classics like I'm A Soul Man! Remember The Moz-man is now affiliated with a label that was known for reggae music. This choice of venue and record label make it quite clear that Morrissey is indeed partially of African descent. Get Down Brother!!!

I just heard from a friend at Clear Channel that Moz is expected to play a 4 night stint in Boston...2 nights at Axis (amazingly snall for Moz) and 2 nights at the Paradise lounge. Tentative dates are May 15-18

Wow, amazed at the lame cultural stereotypes... for all of you non-NYC'ers (or even the uneducated ones), some parts of Harlem are now the most expensive places to live in the city (huge historic brownstones).

And it's easily one of the best venues for intimate concerts in the city-- saw the Strokes there and it was AMAZING, as well as a number of other good shows. The acoustics are nutso, and there's tons of seating.

The shows are going to be simply amazing... and don't doubt that they will sell out. I have friends from France who want me to get them tix!

This almost makes up for actually LIVING in Harlem.

Can't wait! Just a 15min walk form my house :)

Calm down and stop calling the Americans racist. I think for the most part, everyone was just joking about the whole race thing.

It's just that the Apollo is known for it's weekely all-black variety show which is very...humorous when put next to someone as stiff and British as Morrissey. It could almost be a dumb sitcom or something.

So all you Europeans who want YET ANOTHER excuse to jump in and all your unwanted 2 cents (oops, I mean EURO) about America, back off.

P.S. Maybe he'll sing "Sista, I'm a Poet"??

i will be singing the morrissey chant hopefully...

i was bored in my bedroom in brooklyn this saturday night.

That the Harlem Apollo is a little different than the Manchester Apollo =) He better not do National Front Disco.

The Apollo tickets are listed as going on sale this Saturday!!!

See you all at the shows.

i am dying to buy tickets early...cant find the presale password...can someone help?

Does anyone know how to get pre-sale tix for the Apollo shows?

A texas show would be lovely (and el paso doesnt count as Texas as far as I am concerned. I refuse to drive to another time zone to see Morrissey), but I am not holding my breath.

He wants to play The Apollo, let him.

well, he seems to be into the "5 nights" thing, so maybe all the other venues you mentioned were booked in that respect.

and sure, The Apollo seems a tad unusual for a Morrissey show, but it does have a rich history and cultural significance, so why not?

Since when is Morrissey the property of white America? I would have thought he is anything but.

Count yourself lucky that he is playing New York at all you moaning git!

I think it's absolutely wonderful he's playing the Apollo. I just love the way he continues to totally surprise everybody with his moves. Next up: Carnegie Hall (bring it on!)
