news is breaking so fast this week.... gigidy gigidy gigidy! jackpot!

the size of this venue?

so much for debut of this tour happening in the uk. so sad.

pollstar.com shows Austin, TX at the Austin Music Hall on March 16. Start the tour in the REAL Southwest - Arizona - Come back to PHX, Tucson, Yuma - better yet, TEMPE!

Anyone that's ever been to Odessa knows how fuckin' weird it is that Morrissey has agreed to play there!

are we sure this is right? $25 a ticket? doesn't sound like Morrissey.

if he plans to do more dates in march (an i hope he does in the US) then i hope he announces them soon. last minute is not a good idea.

Come to New York Moz

perhaps these are only makeup Texas dates he missed during the last tour and there will be no US tour before the UK. at least it's respectful to give them the head of the tour since Texas has been screwed in the past.

it would be funny if morrissey gets 'sick' again. some kind of cruel joke.

Well, maybe I'm not forced to go to Austin.

You know, what, I'm going to as many shows as I can.
Bring on the Southwest dates!

Is he really playing this place?

From looking at the website, it looks like a slaughterhouse.

Full BBQ menu, cowskulls decorating the outside and in, and a full rodeo outside.

Willie Nelson has played there...
I hope Moz knows what he's getting into.

ok, 450 miles is a bit of a drive for me, but if he's in such a rush to do both the SXSW interview and show on the same day, maybe he's going to play another show somewhere in TX the day after?

the last picture show?

Remember - Bush was a congressman from Midland, TX - the twin city of Odessa - West Texas oil country. COULD THIS BE PURPOSEFUL?

I just called and talked to the bartender and he said that yes, it's happening. 1000 if it's indoors. 3,000 if outdoors! they just haven't updated their site. I pray this isn't a sick joke.

Dos Amigos is an unusual place to see Morrissey, however, I have seen him perform in the worst of venues - such as YUMA. Anyway, Dos Amigos inside stage floor capacity is 1,000 and the outside stage floor capacity is 3,000. I don't know which stage he'll be performing on - I'm assuming the inside stage.

Call and find out - 432.468.7556.

Is this where they filmed the movie Giant?

They spelt 'Morrissey' wrong on their website.

Is anyone sure if this is legit? Sure doesn't seem like it.

Logistically, it's possible.

I'm calling it now.

Is he fucking kidding $25 whats that about £15? Why are we paying twice that for face value (if we're lucky enough to get the tickets at face value). He's playing a fucking Barbeque joint!! Hicksville or what! I'd rather see him play somewhere nice.

Please, please, please let me get what I want and come back to the Milwaukee!

It's a well known fact that Morrissey has a large Latino fanbase. Im sure playing in Texas and opening for Jaguares (Mexican rock band) has something to do with this. We all love Moz just as much as his Europeans fans and we've supported him through thick and thin as his moving to Los Angeles indicated. So lay off the guy.

That the Cantina is not a slaughter house just western themed with summer bull riding and a restuant that serves hamburgers and steaks, nothing else. but still..Morrissey shouldn't throw us this strange curve ball.

Morrissey generally won't play withing half a mile of anyone serving red meat. It all smells a bit iffy to me.

dude, you've got to be kidding. i've never been but i've heard plenty of horror stories. i really don't wanna go to bubbaville for a morrissey show.

Dearest Morrissey, please remember Houston 2004 and come here we missed you last time.

Morrissey jokingly wrote in one of his pen pal letters that he was born in Odessa, TX.

I'm definitely going to drive 7 hours to see this show.
I cannot wait.

i swear this better not be a trick. i live in abilene which is really close. ive drove to tucson and el paso for shows. this is like a dream come true. whats up with them putting san angelo and what not in the article? is he playing there too?

It is not a trick, I spoke to a friend in one of the opening bands last night and it is a valid date. There are two other dates in Texas at least, one is SXSW on the 16th, and the other is the 14th, in a yet to be determined city.

email [email protected] if youre from abilene, or near by cities, and are planning on going to the odessa show. we need to get the fact straight, and see who all gets tickets and what not. plus i would love to meet moz fans in this area. thanks

The Moz info is no longer on the 95x website. I dont think the Odessa show was for real.

Cancelled are the bells I'm hearing now.

I just hope the above poster wasn't lying and there is another Texas show. It doesn't matter where.

Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care.....

http://www.dosamigoscantina.com/calendar/index.htm ... and trying not to get my hopes up.

This is an email exchange that I just had with someone from the radio station, 95x. I knew it was too insane to be real. I think someone was playing a joke on the poor suckers at the radio station.

It's true, we got the word this morning that he cancelled. We're not
sure why but we're pretty bummed.
