Well how ’bout that? Don’t know about y’all, but yesterday certainly was pretty awesome on our end. What with Jack White and Dave Grohl running around town, there’s bound to be some awesome stuff that pops up, no? Looking over our lists for today, though, seems the best bets are away from the downtown fray, which has become increasingly the case over the past few years. In fact, you could probably do much worse than spending your day bouncing from the East Side between Pitchfork’s show at the East Side Drive-In and Dig for Fire’s lineup at the French Legation Museum. And then for the evening, why not hit up the $5 Night of Rage III on up the road at Baby Blue Studios? That should pretty much have us covered for the the next twelve hours or so through into tomorrow, but we have our favorites listed below for your consideration. What’s been the best you’ve come across so far? Sharon Van Etten and Jessica Lea Mayfield were both stunning and highly recommended, and Country Mice provided some much needed heavy lifting for our first day. Keep up the good work, guys; there’s still lots of music to plow through.
