They're labeled a post-punk band who got signed by Loveless Records in Seattle and have met with some critical acclaim, although I don't put much faith in Rolling Stone.

Anyway, they're the opener for SPOON this Saturday night, so I'll be seeing both. We have seats in the 5th row center, so I'm sure my good friend Britt Daniel will acknowledge my presence.

Next Friday it's PAVEMENT with opening act Kurt Vile. Yes, I said PAVEMENT! I'll be shocked if Slosh tells me he's not going to this show at the Mann.
