Three Days To Rise || May 18-20, 2007

DdCal makes this easier, don't it? Check that out for a full list. My choices are as follows:

FRIDAY

Rubber Gloves & Hailey's: It may behoove you to visit both clubs tonight; the Gloves' free set (see post below) is a whoppin' celebration, while Hailey's hosts a quality bill that may, unfortunately, drive you to suicide. The Clientele's latest record, God Save The Clientele, just leaked, and the result is a sleepy, post-mod pop record that'll get emo guys laid for the next few months. Openers Beach House and Doug Burr are spiritual partners in quiet, gorgeous sedation as well, so...yeah, it's not a Baboon show or anything, but bring a foldable chair and you'll be fine.

Palm Beach Club & Black Forest Theater: Not sure why the two best local hip-hop bills in the past coupl'a weeks happen to be on the same frickin' night, but the PBC has the edge with Steve Austin's first local gig in some time. Expect at least some sort of response to his recent press.

Double Wide: Sparklepussy Barbie / Record Hop / Telethon


SATURDAY

Rubber Gloves: Again, the Gloves take the lead with a big, free showcase.

Sons of Hermann Hall: Lolliprom 2007...hey, Shibboleth's opening.

Double Wide: Lions...I like Queens of the Stone Age and I don't like these guys. Hypocritical? Probably.

SUNDAY

Rubber Gloves: The Yacht (that dude from The Blow)
