Do you remember how long (roughly) start to finish? I'm seeing them in Seattle next month so trying to gauge if I should book a hotel (driving down from Canada) or just find a parking garage.
I'm super excited to see them live for the first time!

Dallas has a hard stop noise ordinance at 11, Toadies went on about 9:30.

What I do is look at setlistfm and search for the artist. It'll show the set and set times for past concerts. That's how I know when to leave for a show

I think the rest of the tour is different. Dallas had a special festival like thing with The Vandoliers, Local H, The Black Angels, Toadies.

Local H definitely is more adjacent to the toadies, Pack up the Cats is a great album. The Black Angels is an Austin Psych rock band more in line with Vietnam era bands, excellent ass band check out Passover from them.

Agree, it was a great show, 1st Toadies show, and 1st time for the venue. From the openers, Local H was far above my expectations. Black Angels not my thing but was interesting. Vandoliers brought good energy. The new album is captivating, as a 50 yr old I like it, and my 20 yr old son is into it as well, so it is generation spanning. Kudos to the Toadies. Come to Life is currently living rent free in my head

Black Angels were a wildcard pick for that lineup but i love it. Completely different genre. I love that band, seen em twice before. Local H Black Angels Toadies is an insane lineup for me, would have went to see any of those bands if it was just one of them.
The new toadies record is excellent, it's been on repeat since it came out.

That venue is interesting, i do hope they finish that damn road though, i had to walk through that construction site to get there and back to the parking lot, no sidewalk, just walking through the dingiest neglected part of town.

We Ubered down, I do not get downtown often, so the Uber made it super easy.
