Attention! - Local Natives

WE'LL DO IT LIVE! - Conan

who: Conan (and a few guests)

why: is a Free Bird now. I can't wait to see where he goes and what he does - whatever it is I know it'll be bigger than Jay Leno's chin.

In the Fresh - The Fall of Troy

who: The Fall of Troy

why: I've already had the news on my twitter, but I figured I should post it here after I made their debut, self-titled album my friday flashback for the week.

The Fall of Troy have announced a headlining tour with Envy on the Coast and Twin Atlantic and what's most important is they're coming through Chicago TWICE (OPENING SHOW!!!), with both shows being on weekends! I'm so pumped I can't even tell you. I've only seen them the one time, but it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen and I'll never forget it. Go get yourself some tickets.
