From his explosive debut on Untold’s Hessle, to his string of genre-defying EPs, and finally his amazing debut album, James Blake was undoubtedly one of the most innovative artists of of 2010. He used to perform live with Mount Kimbie but now he’s selling out shows across the Atlantic and all over the US. When I heard through fellow UCLA Radio DJs about his Los Angeles tour dates in May, one at the Hollwood Forever Cemetery and one at the Troubadour, I waited like patient turd for the public sale since I was unaware of the presale that had occurred earlier on Thursday. However, promptly at 1 PM when I logged onto Ticketfly to add those tickets in my shopping cart, it said that the tickets were unavailable. I couldn’t accept this so I tried for ten minutes to change my browser, refresh the page, change the ticket amount, all to no avail. Both of the LA dates sold out within a minute of being released on Saturday. I just wanted to let y’all know about it before you get your dreams crushed so you can save up your dough and buy it from an asshole who’s going to charge you triple the face value for these tickets. We can always try to coax Mr. Blake into adding twenty more LA dates…. Who’s with me?
