If you’re looking for some Wednesday night quality music shows, head over to the Mohawk on Wednesday night for a set by the incomparable David Bazan.  Apparently Mr. Bazan will be playing with his old buddies from Pedro the Lion so this should be a good one.  Openers for the evening are Say Hi.

So the time has finally come for the big Sunny Day Real Estate show at La Zona Rosa and we couldn’t be more pumped about it.  I hope you’ve read our reviews of the band’s new LP2 & Diary reissues and our old From the Closet feature.  This should hopefully live up to be one of those shows you’ll hate yourself for missing out on.  The Jealous Sound will be providing your opening support.

If you’re appetite for live music hasn’t been quenched by the madness that is ACL, make your way to the Parish on Monday night for a set by Oxford, MS band Colour Revolt.  Local support will be provided by Winston Audio and Ume.  Now we’ve seen this band a few times before and we can honestly say that this one will be worth wiping the dust off your face and shaking off your ACL hangover.

Yo Gabba Gabba & Of Montreal

Leave a comment

tv_new_yo_gabba_gabbaIf you haven’t checked out the kid show Yo Gabba Gabba, you really should make a point to do so.  Besides featuring some musical guests like Mates of State, The Shins, and MGMT, the show is fairly entertaining and goofy.  The Nick Jr. show is also about to put out a soundtrack on October 2oth called Music is Awesome… which features some solid indie acts like The Roots, Chromeo, and this new track from Of Montreal.  Also try searching Yo Gabba Gabba on youtube and watch some clips from the show.  They are sure to get a laugh… or at least make you not want to grow up.

ArtDisaster-2009-10-01-webSo you’re one of those brave souls who just can’t get enough of the heat and music during the day at ACL and you want more?  Or maybe you’re just one of those types who skip the festival alltogether and make it out to after parties and after shows?  Regardless of what category you fit into, here’s a couple choices for each night of ACL for things to do after the festival activities wind down.  We’re keeping it to just two options a night so as to not overwhelm you.  Follow the jump for da parties.

suckers_ACLToday we focus on some of the lesser known bands of ACL with an interview spotlighting relatively new Brooklyn band Suckers. We spoke to the man simply known as Pan this week via phone to find out a little bit about this new project. I think you will all be glad to know that Pan is in full support of my Pearl Jam pick for ACL. So there. Follow the jump for full interview.
