Today's Quick Mention: There's a slew of good shows this weekend, so
if you want to get out I recommend Throw Me The Statue at the
Mohawk/Chairlift at Emo's tonight, Will Johnson at Space12/Drew Smith at
Antone's tomorrow and Daniel Francis Doyle at Beerland on Sunday. You
can't go wrong! I promise.
The NFL is back! And in celebration of it today's artist is all about
toughness and attitude. OK, so doesn't exactly describe Russian
Circles (especially if you've ever experienced how super nice they are), but
they are awesome at being loud, and that'll do. Their new effort,
Geneva is due October 20 on Suicide Squeeze, and they'll be playing this
year's Fun Fun Fun Fest. Enjoy.

Circles - Malko:
While the band does occasionally take the standard
instrumental route that asks for rather long, drawn out
songs that slowly build up to a big climax, many times they
choose to just throw you right in the middle of things.
Personally, I think that's when they're at their best, and
as shown here, if you're ready and willing to roll with the
punches you'll find something that's incredibly satisfying.
Have fun rocking, friends.
