Just Announced

rhett, you're welcome. you'll have to excuse them if they aren't quite as revelatory as witnessing an old 97's show.

Travis Morrison @ Galaxy Hut 8/22
Agreed.
It's the same night as Burning Brides, so it's an easy decision to pass on Travis's show.

So what bands are scheduled to play the Republican Convention? Now that would be an "alternative" band.
Starbelly is playing the Acme in Annapolis tonight. Show starts at 10:00.
WHY Mondays?!?!? :(

Don't sound like my cup of tea, but then again neither is Snow Patrol.
Though they have musical ties to emo and indie rock, Eisley's debut EP, Laughing City, reveals that the Texas-based quintet's true musical heritage lies in the dreamy, largely female guitar pop of the early '90s. The sweet, wavering vocals of sisters Sherri and Stacy DuPree recall not only the Innocence Mission's Karen Peris and Sixpence None the Richer's Leigh Nash, but especially those of Belly and Throwing Muses' Tanya Donelly, a similarity heightened by the kind of songs Eisley writes. The brooding "Telescope Eyes," one of the group's more rock-oriented songs, sounds like it could fit easily on Belly's King or on one of Donelly's solo albums; "Tree Tops," with its whimsical music-box melody and waltz rhythm, recalls the playful creativity of songs like "Feed the Tree." That's not to suggest that the band doesn't have their own musical identity, however, as swooning ballads like "Over the Mountains" and the title track suggest that by the time Eisley releases a full-length, they'll be writing even more intricately distinctive songs. While the EP's production sounds a little slick at times, especially for the band's ethereal-rock sound, Laughing City is still a promising and unique debut.

I'm too lazy to dig up the old Cure thread.
They just released some decent tickets for the Curiosa thing at Merriweather. Get 'em while you can.

Originally posted by Sugartastic Tee Silk:I caught Eisley at Coachella last year. it was like a bunch of kids trying to sound like Coldplay. but then, I have heard Snow Patrol be compared to Coldplay as well. Eisley is very talented, if you can get away from them looking like a teenie band or something.
