Bratty punk duo Slutever played the Mews last week, were fun. |
Oh yeah, and I'm DJing outside at the PBR bar a second time on Aug. 27, which is free; I'll also be DJing inside between sets Aug. 30 for Patrick Tape Fleming's birthday party, headlined by Fishboy, a night that will be a highlight for sure, my record selections notwithstanding...
As always, please don't hesitate to tell me what I'm missing!
UPDATE: The indefatigable Chet Boom has reminded me I forgot about Ames and Grinnell. Which is a pretty big omission, considering the M Shop in Ames is getting Cymbals Eat Guitars (with Hooray for Earth, who I recently reviewed for eMusic) and Braids, and Grinnell College is bringing Dan Deacon, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Bass Drum of Death, and Dam-Funk, among others.

ReplyDeleteThanks, sir! I'll add that now--must've missed it when I was plowing through the Mews site last night.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend Grupo Fantasma
ReplyDeleteThanks! I know they've played with Spoon... definitely curious. We'll see if I can make it out tonight-- Mondays, etc.
