There are way too many cool shows in this three month period in my area.
Last Friday I went to the aforementioned National show. The next day I saw Magnolia Electric Co. and an awesome alt-country band called the
Golden Boots.
This Saturday I am going to
Wall of Sound Festival to see Explosions in the Sky, Pinback, and whoever else is out there.
Then in the upcoming months are Spoon/New Pornos, Final Fantasy, The Hold Steady, Caribou, Stars, Of Montreal, M.I.A., and Architecture in Helsinki.
Anyone else been to/going to any cool shows? ACL TR from Nath would be cool too.
