Popfest is going to be great. I can't believe that Suburban Kids with Biblical Names are playing. Oh man, such a throwback to high school, not that I'm like, "better" than that now, but that I listened to them a lot back in high school, so going there is like reliving my high school indie phase! Memories.

Rose Melberg is also going to be great.

Busy Weeks

Don't think I've had a week this filled with shows since the fall. Pretty crazy:

[Mentioning the bands I'm there for]

Tonight (4/1):
Tyvek (now 'Tyvjk'??), Woods @ DBA
Should be fun. Saw Tyvek last fall with Crystal Stilts and Cause Co-Motion! at Death by Audio. Fun garage-punk. Woods is always great, been getting better since I first saw them live last summer.

Tomorrow (4/2):
Dan Deacon, Future Islands @ NYU
Not looking that forward to Future Islands, but Dan Deacon was ridiculously fun last time I saw him at 1896. This is going to be his first time playing on stage though I believe. Will be interesting to see how he works with a full band.

Friday (4/3):
Kurt Vile, Gary War @ Silent Barn; off to La Roux @ Studio B
Yep. Two shows in a night. From lo-fi to electro-pop.

Saturday (4/4):
WFMU Party @ Bell House: Thee Oh Sees, Pink Skull
Really looking forward to this. Hope it doesn't sell out early.
