Setlist / New Merch?

I wouldn't doubt it...

Other evidence: others report that the shirt costs were $20, but they're $25 in NY. I've also seen it with other band merch.
 
Some venues take unholy percentages from the bands merch sales, and I'm pretty sure B.B. Kings is one of them. So that's probably why you're seeing the price change so much.

Missed you guys on the tour, by the way. A Katatonia tour just isn't 100% perfect unless Daylight Dies is on the billing.

I can tell you for sure that BB Kings takes a big chunk of merch sales for themselves (I think in the order of 20-30%)

They make an unbelievable load of money off of metal shows... when it comes to the amount of alcohol they sell, the food that people occasionally buy, and the water that they basically force you into buying (as you can't really bring in your own stuff during a set), as well as the merch, they make an absolute killing.
 
My band opened for the Hartford show and I was really happy with the way it turned out. We had technical difficulties and played a 15 minute set, but it was fun and considering our minimal rehearsal it came out amazingly.

Katatonia though.... I wanted Murder, dammit! Everyone else got it but us. :(

*tears up dont cry dont cry dont cry.....

its a pretty solid setlist, but its pretty much the same one as last year song for song and that makes me kinda disapointed. ah well its katatonia and i love em so no hard feelings :p
 
whoever said they played clean today at the hartford show was mistaken. they did not play it. i was at the CT show and my band played the NH show. katatonia varied the setlist up a bit between those two shows. i can't see any reason to cpmplain about the songs that they've been playing. on last year's tour, they didn't play anything from tonight's decision at the two shows i was at and this time they played had to leave and right into the bliss. they didn't play dissolving bonds last year, and if i recall correctly they also didn't play don't tell a soul last year. i think the setlists this year are nice and varied from last year. nothing to complain about. katatonia have been top notch all 4 times i've seen them.
 
also, i want to thank fredrik and mattias for being such nice guys at the nh show and getting the band to sign a poster for me. the venue in nh had a huge poster that said katatonia with special guests dreaded silence. it was really amazing to have my favorite band sign a poster featuring both our band names. that meant a lot to me and i can't wait to hang it up in my band's new practice space. i feel really lucky to have played two shows with my favorite band of all time. i hope everyone on the board gets a chance to go enjoy katatonia on this tour.
 
Just hope the setlist in California kicks ass! But its KATATONIA so it doesn't really matter. Glad all you guys had fun! The show is a week away but seems like a year away... haha.
CHEERZ!!!
