Any good shows this July?

[bigyellow100]

Are there any good shows in the area this July?  I've looked through some schedules, but nothing jumps out at me.  What are some bands that are good that I've might have overlooked who put on good shows?

SPIRITUALIZED

[azaghal1981]

Yes, Spiritualized. As well as:
 
 Fleet Foxes
 Boris
 Black Angels
 No Age/High Places
 Elf Power
 DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist (maybe?)

[Firebutt McGee]

If I were you, I'd go for the Brazilian Girls and the ridiculous George Clinton/Yaz/Ting Tings run at the club.

[Bombay Chutney]

The only thing on my radar is:
 
 Mickey Hart
 7/20
 Rams Head Live
 
 Yaz and George Clinton are tempting, but pricey.

I wouldnt call it awful, but some of the tracks are defintely underwhelming live.  The get into an almost jam band/semi-ambient groove with no vocals on a couple of songs (interludes?  I didnt recognize them from the cd or EP), and they lose a lot of the energy in the process.  Most of the tracks are good fun though.

Thanks for the replies.  I've seen No Age open for Liars in SF earlier this year and I'll pass...I can't believe I overlooked the Boris date.  I'll definitely be there.  As for the Ting Tings...that's a close call.  I listened to the album and wasn't impressed.  I then saw a live performance of That's Not My Name on Jools Holland on youtube, which was pretty good, so I dunno about that.  Spiritualized seems pretty sweet though, so I might check him (them?) out.  
 
 Oh and Frightened Rabbit on Monday at the Black Cat seems pretty good.  And Burning Brides tonight...Anyone going?

[serpent boy]

Definitely Spiritualized!

[sonickteam2]

I am going to see Spritualized in July because they are sweet ASS.
 
 
 I dont have any other shows i plan on going to because i spent all my money on Yankees/Red Sox tickets over your Independence Day weekend.
