SHOWS OF THE WEEK!
Monday, September 17th - BIRDS OF AVALON @ the Triple Rock in Minneapolis, MN w/ The Fucking Champs!
If you're familiar w/ Raleigh's BIRDS OF AVALON, odds are you're a fan of their psychedelic sonic rip-rock ala Blue Cheer / Sir Lord Baltimore and odds are you're as stoked as we are for the endless touring, taking them around the country w/ the likes of the Fucking Champs, Ted Leo, Riverboat Gamblers, and starting next week, the one and only, Flaming Lips. This week, pack yourself a monster bowl and head for the Triple Rock for a large dose of the heavy!

Tuesday, September 18th - BIG BUSINESS @ the Showbox in Seattle w/ The Melvins!
Not much needs to be said about this ridiculous tour, excpet to point out that BIG BUSINESS are headed back to their home-town of Seattle to blow minds one more time. Will they get heckled for moving to LA, or heralded for their non-stop rock attack that's been garnering them world-wide success unlike any they've seen before? For entertainment's sake, let's hope it's a healthy mix of both.

Wednesday, September 19th - O'DEATH @ The Rickshaw Shop in San Francisco w/ Rock Plaza Central!
The West Coast is about to be blessed w/ some of the best home-grown appalachian-punk the world of rock has possibly ever seen. Supporting the re-release of their debut album "Head Home" - Brooklyn's O'DEATH play some of the most heartfelt and boot stompin' rock this side of the Mississippi. If you're in SF or LA, definitely make it a point not to miss what will undoubtedly be one of the standout shows of the year.

Listen to the Guilloteens sing about "Quantum Fucking" and wile the f*ck out! FFG are easily one of the sickest live bands you'll ever see (w/ your pants off. what?)

Friday, September 21st - THE BLACK SWANS @ Cafe Bourbon St in Columbus, OH
Following up their acclaimed and uncomfortable Sex Brain EP, The Black Swans remove tongue from cheek and pour forth the reconciliation and reconstruction of spirit. Raw and contrary, Change! is a slow-burner that slips through the fingers, taking a left turn to Twin Peaks. Dark and sweet...Appalachian and learned in its sweep.
