When I read that JIMMY EAT WORLD was coming here to El Paso, I thought to myself, this is one I can miss. Not that I didn ' t know who they were, but there was no interest on my part to cover the show. But while I was at the local premier venue TRICKY FALLS shooting EVERY TIME I DIE on the 17th, BOBBIE WELCH, one of the owners of the venue, informs me that pre-sales for Jimmy Eat World was at 800 and due to sell out. Needless to say, this has my attention. So on the 25th of February, when I arrived at Tricky, ticket sales are at 1200, with walk ups set to consume the remaining 300 tickets. True to Bobbie ' s word, it sold out!
Jimmy Eat World has been around since 1993, not to mention, they are my next door neighbors, seeing as I write this in the great state of New Mexico, and the boys are from Mesa, Arizona. They boast 22 years in“ business”, with 9 releases to their credit--the latest being“ Integrity Blues”, which dropped in October of last year, and which this tour was supporting.
