These are some great groups that are coming to town people!!! I'd say that any of these shows would be worth checking out, although the Belle & Sebastian show is a bit pricey! I think the 'We Are Scientists' show is going to be around 10 to 15 max and they're definitely worth checking out. Their album 'With Love and Squalor' has a really cool sound. they're like a NY version of a Franz Ferdinand or something. :)

dude, where's the concert announcement for metric? or for aerosmith?

[Cdn_Brdr]

aerosmith is not indie.... they also need to shut up and retire

as for metric.... i figured most people already knew about that one :)

[krisamata]

aerosmith isn't indie? wow that's a newsflash!!

hahaha, i meant where is the concert announcenment in another thread for aerosmith?


isn't it your job to announce EVERY SINGLE concert? it think so!!

;)


ps: im so excited for the metric show

[Cdn_Brdr]

hahaha.... maybe it's my job to announce DECENT shows!

I should be moderator of a 'Shows that aren't raves' forum or something! hahaha

[Lush]

ooooh I had no idea about Ladytron

The Stills are doing a show Saturday at the Pit Pub annnnddd TV ON THE RADIO will be playing at Richards on May 6th!!!!!

Ladytron is playing coachella. Highly recommend trips to Seattle around those weeks... the Coachella lineup is pretty wicked this year.

Aside from Ladytron the only must-go I see there is controller.controller. Anybody who says otherwise about Belle & Sebastian, either go watch Jack Black's first scene in High Fidelity or just shoot yourself so that we can do without your whiny emo ass.

history is one of my favourite indie songs of all time.

I reviewed the Meligrove Band's debut CD. It's pretty good. They're on The White Stripes' V2 Records, their first Canadian band singing.

The Meligrove Band
http://www.meligroveband.com/
styles: retro orch-pop, Can rock
others: The Occasion, Mercury Rev, Sloan, The Coral, Supergrass

Planets Conspire
V2 (RIAA), 2006
rating: 3.5/5
reviewer: filmore mescalito holmes

At a glance, Planets Conspire is a collection of typically universal love lyrics matched by esoteric retro-rock noodlings. But, much like the creepy AM psych-pop of The Coral, this is not an easy CD to toss aside, definitively judged. The seemingly naïve optimism of these collective love yearnings blow the doors off any anonymous “fuck you dirty” Darkness track. It’s like a concept album update of Stephen Stills’ “Love The One You’re With” enhanced by a smothering of youthful exuberance. The pacing of the album is benefited greatly by continually evolving arrangements. Aside from the bassist (who takes the bass sound out of Sloan’s Pretty Together and puts it to good use here), everyone in Toronto’s Meligrove Band plays at least two instruments on this, their major label debut. While similar thematically, each track is its own unique thing, switching ambiance from ethereal to baroque to spastically celebratory and beyond while still fitting into the full mix of the album. I realize the chances of The Meligrove Band achieving south of the border success on the scale of Avril Lavigne or Nickelback is slim, thanks to the glorification of Jackass/Tom Green stupidity that allows this to be, but as long as there are Canuck releases like this filtering out, at least some people will know it’s not totally lame in the far north.
