There are some good shows this week and I'd like to talk to you about five of them if that's OK with out. But it's all good either way. If you wanna cut this short, peace out, and go procrastinate on some other music blob instead I totally understand. There's a lot of other really great stuff competing for your attention out there in blob land.
For the 13 of you still remaining, let's keep talking!
#1 The Bulls - The Satellite (free) - Monday - August 31 - 2015 A.D.
With the third pick in the 1984 NBA Draft the Chicago Bulls select…………………. members of The Duke Spirit and Airborne Toxic Event.
#2 FIDLAR - Amoeba (free) - Thursday - September 3 - 2015 A.D.
FIDLAR (Frank, I Don't Like Aunt Rita) play a free show at Amoeba and somewhat relatedly I recently learned from a trip to Barnes & Noble in the mall that vinyl is making a comeback. And then I picked up an Orange Julius to wash down my Cinnabon and got a personalized keychain that said PATRICK and everything was totally boss.
