The Doors to play Hideout Block Party 9/14-15

They go on at 5 PM Friday and 11:30 AM Saturday.

No word on who's singing. Maybe the vocalists for the other acts will take turns. Eddie Vedder doesn't kick off his fall tour until the next weekend, so who knows...

Their web site says the tix are sold out. I may have to audit it from outside the edge of whatever perimeter they set up.

Ummm, you do know that is when the doors (gates) open and you'll be allowed in? Right?

Remember that the H/O is joining with The Onion's A.V. Club for this block party.

Hmmm, wonder why they're having a legendary band like the Doors open the show on both nights?

Well, I hope Ian Astbury isn't filling in for Jim Morrison again. I recently saw Astbury perform with his own band the Cult at the Congress Theater and they were pretty lame.

Yes, I know this is a joke, but it's actually not that far-fetched because Ray Manzarek attended St. Rita High in Beverly and recently performed a benefit show there, and seems like an all-around cool guy.
