I was just listening to a local (Philly) sports station, and the topic of The Replacements came up…the host (Ruben Frank) said they will be playing The Electric Factory in May, but I don't see anything on their website or The Electric Factory's. Has anyone else heard anything?

Haven't heard anything but that sounds like too small of a venue for them to be playing. I've seen shows there, Paul could sell that out solo........

You're right, it is small…maybe 3,000 people? The thing that struck me was he said, "I am going" as if it were a done deal. Funniest part was he then had to tell people if they wanted to talk about The Replacements they had to talk about the Eagles first.

wow! how would the host be clued into this? I know Tommy lived in Philly for awhile, do you think it was a planned leak?

The host, Reuben Frank, has been a journalist and periodically hosts sports talk on a local station. I know Tommy's wife's aunt is a local dj….Philly is a small city, so maybe he has connections? I guess we'll find out soon...

Spoke to a friend today who works for a Philly promoter and he confirmed that the Mats are actively taking bids and the timeframe is Spring.

hmmm, interesting. I wonder why Philly? Unless that is just one city for a spring tour? Would like to get another confirmation from another source before getting my hopes up high that they'll be touring the east coast, let alone gigging in Philly, come spring

Philadelphia was in the plans initially for the last go around but they couldn't work it out for one reason or another. They are planning on dates I'm told,not just a one off Philly show.
