— YOUNG GALAXY TONIGHT —

Tonight — MSR Presents:: Young Galaxy, Winter Gloves, and myself DJ DP! 

Young Galaxy are Montreal veterans just spent last year touring with bands like Arcade Fire, Stars and Twin Sister. For their latest LP,Shapeshifting, they enlisted the help of producer Dan Lissvik who has also worked his magic on albums for Fever Ray and Bear In Heaven. Turns out David Bowie wasn’t available for support.  Winter Gloves who are another insanely rad band from Montreal are supporting.
Doors 8, Show 9. $7, 18+. At the Monkey House

There will be a BEAT VISION this Wednesday night at the Monkey House with special guest DJ Gunner—  I will be on my musical vacation seeing LCD Soundsystem on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights in NYC! I am so pumped for these shows but also really upset my idol and favorite band will be coming to an end…

ALSO___ my great friends from MSR & Angioplasty Media are putting on another great show on Wednesday ((some difficult choices to make on a Wednesday night))
3/30 @ Club Metronome
Titus Andronicus
w/ Brenda, Dinowalrus, and DJ Treatz
Doors: 8, Show: 9
$10, 18+ – Tix available @ Pure Pop Records or online at brownpapertickets.com
Apparently The Hold Steady got knocked up by the E Street Band and gave birth to these New Jersey thrash rockers. With their album The Monitor landing at a solid #10 on Pitchfork’s list of top 50 albums of 2010, these fellas are continuing to rock the piss out of crowds around the planet with their high energy live show. Said show will be tearing through Metronome in March so we’ll get to see what the hype is all about ourselves. Support is coming from Portland, Maine’s Brenda.

WHAT A WEEK!!

Another great week in Burlington for music. A special thanks to everyone who came out to Beat Vision on Wednesday night, the Parmaga CD release party at the BCA Center on Friday, and another great Record Club on a beautiful spring day on Saturday.  Here are some pictures from the events:

This is gonna be an amazing night. Kurt Vile is truly one of the best songwriters going right now. I’m not saying this to get people to buy tickets, but this will most likely sell out fairly quickly.
