Shows, yo!

So we've got listeners all over the place, so I'm going to tryyyy to cover the gamut and tell you when and where some of your favorite bands are playing, and also some other bands at venues we love that you should probably check out.

Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY:

This week Deerhunter is playing Friday, and while I personally can't stand them, you may be able to. And should! Just because I don't like what they're doing doesn't mean they're not rad! The Mountain Goats and Khaki King are playing the next night, but ALAS, are sold out. So you might know somebody?? Def. a show to catch. Later this month Eagles of Death Metal and lots of other rad bands are playing, which I'll talk about laterrrr.

Webster Hall, NY, NY (Greenwich Village)

TONIGHT, yes, TONIGHT! Flobots and (AND!) Blue Scholars are playing. Go. Seriously. And if you couldn't call in those contacts for the Mountain Goats and Khaki King show across the bridge, they're playing (not sold out yet) on Sunday the 9th. Yeah, I guess I'll give you a reprieve from listening to check out this rad show! Coming up are shows by M83, the Kaiser Chiefs, Nada Surf, CSS, Matisyahu, and Gogol Bordello. You work for a reason, right? Crack out that wallet, because there are some sweet shows coming up!

The Bitter End, NY, NY (Greenwich Village)

Bands you've never heard. Ridiculously cheap cover. A tradition of hosting the next big thing. See a problem? I don't.

Higher Ground, Burlington, VT

My hometown hotspot for upcoming acts, it's worth a trip because they get all those bands before NYC does a lot of times. And for cheaper. And you can meet the band out back to smoke up after the show. Coming up for them is Devin the Dude, Dark Star ORchestra, Method Man (haha yeah, I know. Rep the 802), Matisyahu, The Sword, and Brett Dennen, to name a few. Check it out, usually there's blunts and god-knows-what-else floating around the crowd, but a chill, vibe-centered crowd all the time. And if you don't know what vibing is, we have a problem.

Nectar's, Burlington, VT

Classic institution where Phish got their start. Live music every night, little to no cover. Japhy Ryder playing twice between now and Christmas recording an album, so you should go.

So now you have shows pulling you away from work and your hard earned cash. I've done my job.
