Title: Bettie Serveert and The Positions

Tomorrow at the Blackcat, anyone going? I guess it won't sell out, how good is this other band, the positions?

I would assume since she's promoting the new album. She was at Iota few weeks ago and yeah, that's what I hear.

bettie serveert always play a lot of old songs, and are always solid live. peter visser has one of the most underrated guitar tones in indie-rock (very neil young-esque).
 
 expect three or four from palomine (the title track, "kid's alright," "tomboy," and "leg"), one or two from lamprey, maybe one from dust bunnies, a couple from private suit, and the rest from the last two albums. so basically, a good mix of their whole career, with an emphasis on the debut. they're also good for the occasional, tasteful surprise cover.
 
 i've seen their last three shows in DC, so i'm working bloc party.
