Eagles of Death Metal at Spaceland on Monday? Forget it. Most likely.
Earlier this week, Pop & Hiss told you of a strong rumor that the Eagles of Death Metal would perform at Spaceland on Monday, appearing to help celebrate the final night of a residency from Eagles of Death Metal pals Sweethead. That latter, of course, features Queens of the Stone Age regular Troy Van Leeuwen.
But late on Friday, the following bad news was sent to the Pop & Hiss HQ via the comments section from the band's management:
"Unfortunately EODM had to pull off the bill and will not be performing Monday night. But the other bands are and they are all equally amazing!"
It has been confirmed that the comment did originate from the band's management at Dangerbird. While it does validate that the Eagles of Death Metal were indeed intending to appear, there were no further details available.
The Eagles of Death Metal appearance was hyped by Sweethead on the act's Twitter, and there are plenty of Eagles and Queens of the Stone Age friends on the bill, so some surprises are not to be counted out. Yet Pop & Hiss is now being assured that the Eagles of Death Metal will no longer be one of them.

All this confirming and unconfirming happened because people like you couldn't handle the info properly. This is their attempt to avoid a line from Spaceland all the way to San Diego in a sardine can of a club.

Hey juepucta,
I seriously doubt Spaceland tries to avoid selling out their venue dude. When dude Julian Casablancas played his secret show there, there was quite a healthy line and Spaceland didnt seem to mind then.
