SATURDAY BAND: SILVERSUN PICKUPS
8pm the echo
gritty foot tappy folk-funk from around these parts, silversun pickups draw you in with their ginger groove and then they start screaming and you look at your friend with happy fire in your eyes going OH MY GOD THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD I BET THESE GUYS SLAY BURGER ALL OVER TOWN and then you realize you came to the show alone because your friends all like maroon 5. get some new friends.

SUNDAY BAND: THE PLOT TO BLOW UP THE EIFFEL TOWER
9pm jensen rec center
terrorism by thesis, jazz-garage-screampunk by antithesis, killer live show by synthesis. probably the sexiest dialectic you will see all week. plus does anyone else find it hilarious that they appear to have let their website ownership lapse and it now directs you to a bunch of travel links? haha. the terrorists are winning.
sorry you have to streamEXILE ON VAIN STREET on myspace due to technical difficulties, gahh
SPECIAL BONUS: i found a 30-second clip from a live gris gris show that is more representative of what you'll be seeing on sunday. DELICIOUS.
