Mid-May shows

[Bags]

Similar to that faced in mid-April, it's an onslaught of shows.  Luckily I've spent nearly two weeks away from any music venues, so I should be well rested.
 
 I think I'm skipping Clinic, Destroyer, Mission of Burma and Neko Case due to conflicts...the MUST SEEs are Metric, Sloan, Bigger Lovers and WSC/Carlsonics.
 
 What are you going to?  Am I missing something I shuoldn't miss?
 
 - Clinic, BC (Sun, 5/9)
 - Cosmic Rough Riders, Iota (Mon, 5/10)
 - Destroyer, Iota (Tues, 5/11)

[joseph gray]

Ummmm!!! I didn't notice clutch on your list of ahows to see, is this because it is a given that you're alredy going to this show or is it beacuse you really do enjoy mediocre, whiny, shoe-gazer shows? haha, kidding, have fun

i would, but i'm leaving for chicago on friday morning.

Yay to all of you coming to BigYawn night. And for those of you planning on going to Q and Not U, the Bigger Lover should be done by 1030 or 11, so you will still have time to wander over to the Cat to catch them.
 
 Personally, I never know my schedule, but obviously i'll be at the Yawn party. And also at the WSC show. We actually have an interview coming up with the Hold Steady. and I may also end up at the 50 Foot wave show. You guys should check out The Standard, really cool band.
