Show Of The Week

I’m super excited for two shows – both of which are album release parties – this week, and since they’re on different nights, I’m highly recommending both.

1)  Pageantry will be celebrating the release of their new album, Influence, at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Friday.  Also on the bill is a variety of SOTO favs – Good Field, Borrisokane, Lomelda and Birthday Club.  That’s an all-around great lineup.  Be there.

2)  Dana Falconberry & Medicine Bow will be at Stateside Theater on Saturday in celebration of the release of their awesomely titled album From The Forest Came The Fire.  I suspect it’ll be an enchanting evening.  Don’t miss it.
