Holy crapola, Emo’s has a pretty tasty little lineup for you music fans on Monday evening.  First up, on the outside stage, you’ve got crazy good live band King Khan & The Shrines along with The Fresh and Onlys and The Strange Boys.  Then inside you’ve got The Wedding Present and Ringo Deathstarr.  Not too sure if you can go between the outside and inside stage for this one, but it’s worth a try.  If only it wasn’t on a Monday…

Emo’s has a nice lineup for the price on Friday night with music by Hockey, Constellations and The Postelles.  We’ve seen 2 of the 3 bands on the lineup and can tell you that the ticket will be worth the price.  Below you’ll find that Hockey tune we dropped on you quite some time ago.

Ted Leo @ Emos (3/31)

Leave a comment

Date Wednesday, March 31st
Location Emos
Doors 900 pm
Tickets $15  @ TicketWeb

In case you didn’t know how much we loved Ted Leo, you haven’t read our latest review of his album The Brutalist Bricks! So many people love Ted’s live show that they had to move it from The Parish over to Emos.  This is one of those shows that you will certainly be sorry you missed, as Ted always guarantees a great live show; it’s just the way the guy rolls. He’ll be taking the stage with Screaming Females and Sally Crewe & the Sudden Moves.  Make sure to show your support of one of the great American songwriters. Period.

Ted will also be playing at End of an Ear @4 PM.

Date Saturday, March 27th
Location Red 7
Doors 900p
Tickets Free Show

If you haven’t heard of Tow the Line yet, don’t be surprised, as they’re a brand new band in town, but one with deep roots in the local scene.  Tow the Line features two fellas from a band you should remember, Recover, and two guys from a band you definitely missed out on, The Visitors.  Expect this to be an energy fueled show, and one you have no excuse missing, since its free.  Tow the Line play in the middle of the night’s line-up, which also included Broadcast Sea, We’ll Go Machete and Autons.  Be there to get a glimpse the band before they run this town!

By now you should have recovered from your SXSW week and should be feeling up for more live music!  Starting the weekend off right with live music, is a Thursday show at Mohawk featuring a 7″ release party by locals She Sir.  The guys will be joined on the stage by Motel Aviv and former A2W band Frantic Clam.  Should be a solid lil night of local music.
