 Indie punk similar to early Sleater Kinney. Listen  here . Tix are $10
 
 I like this song.  Anyone here know them?

The Gossip are pretty good but when they played the last time, a lot of people were sort of disappointed....if I remember correctly.
 
 Kind of like The Kills meet the YYY's.

Eeew. I'm not so sure that's a good combo....

if you go into AU off of mass ave entrance, it's in some random building toward the right. honestly, i can't give you an exact location.. just get there park in the garage and start asking people where the tavern is. they'll help

Like Paige said, it is a bit hard to explain exactly where it is.  But the Mary Graydon center is one of the building's on the campus' quad.  On 1 end of the quad is the Library on the other end is the flaming cupcake (or the Kay Spiritual Center but it is round and has a flame on top).  If you are facing the cupcake, Mary Graydon is on your left and the Tavern is inside.  But ask any student, they will know.

Hey, the Tavern is where I saw Urge Overkill in 93!  That's when Nash opened the show with, "Welcome to the lunch room!"  Odd venue, but that was a damn memorable show.

thought they were very very disappointing at the last black cat show...the lead singer's awfully nice, and has a strong voice, but the music can't really back her up.  it's basically just white-girl janis joplin blues with white guy "blues" guitar...

saves the day are whiney emo heroes that the wannabe depressed kids listen to. their shows are pretty good though, lots of energy and the acoustic interludes are also pretty cool. the fire theft are alright; not crazy about them, but they're good and mellow. in my opinion grandaddy is the better of the three.

if grandaddy is the headliner, that's a definite show for me (at least the recher one)
 
 if its saves the day....I might have to think about it

I just read that one of these bands has a formal connection (language used by allmusic.com) with Foo Fighters. I hope it is a former band member of Foo Fighters who left them for being so terrible.
