Hear This Weekend

This weekend, fabulous music is happening. Tonight, Thao & The Get Down Stay Downs are playing at the Mohawk. If you like Rachael Yamagata's voice and wish she was backed by an indie rock band, you should be at this show right now!

Tomorrow, I'll be hitting up the incredible Monsters of Folk show at Stubb's. This is the last show they're scheduled to play for this tour in the US, so it should be a ton of fun. Based on reviews of shows in other cities, it'll be 2 and a half hours of straight M.o.F., Bright Eyes, My Morning Jacket, She & Him and Ward solo stuff - also known as, incredible, lyrically driven music with beautiful, emotive layers. This stuff is gonna get you in the guttural sense, so be prepared!

Sunday, I'll be front and center for Peter Bjorn and John at La Zona Rosa. Since this is their special 10th Birthday tour (10 years of the band being together), they have had lots of special guests show up for their shows. Expect dancing, tons of energy and earnestness from the band, catchy hooks and great use of a drum machine, and did I mention dancing? Swollen ankle be damned, I'll be shakin' a leg! Follow the band on Twitter for a chance to win tickets to the show - they do giveaways before all of their shows.
See you at the shows, Austin.
