Los Campesinos! @ Slims

Too tired to write an intelligent post.. but the concert was great. Sky Larkin did a great job opening the show despite reporting that they had tremendous bad luck with their equipment and had to share LC!'s gear. They are definitely fun to watch so look out for them in the future.

Treasure Island Music Festival 2009 Dates Announced

Noise Pop Industries and Another Planet Entertainment announced yesterday that the Treasure Island Music Festival will take place on October 17 & 18, 2009. This is a full month later than previous years. l speculate that the move was done because:
a: Vegoose, which took place over Halloween in Las Vegas, is no longer a competitive threat.
b: it creates a more manageable time gap between Another Planet's other big Festival, SF Outside Lands, which happens late in August this year
c: and it may actually be warmer in mid-October.

Neko Case - Live in Concert on NPR Tomorrow

From AV Club's Kyle Ryan April 8, 2009

As part of its "Live In Concert from All Songs Considered" series, NPR Music will stream Neko Case's show tomorrow night (April 9) at the 9:30 Club in D.C., where she'll perform with another A.V. Club favorite, Crooked Fingers. Many of the dates of Case's current tour are sold out or will sell out, so this may be your best shot. The free stream goes live at npr.org/music at 9:30 eastern.

Gogol Bordello, What's Your Deal?

Gogol Bordello has lined up a second leg of U.S. tour dates. After the gypsy-punk band's May and June dates, the group will head overseas for a European run followed by a 10-city summer tour bookended by previously announced festival appearances. Oddly omitted from their tour dates is any San Francisco tour date. They'll be skipping over SF when they go from Santa Cruz straight to George, WA for Sasquatch. They go abroad in June and part of July, and then finish up the month with an East Coast tour that culminates with All Points West before they head to Japan for Summer Sonic Festival. Hopefully they extend their tour into August and September so we may have a chance to see them included in the Outside Lands lineup, as previously predicted.
