THE ONION AND FRVRRR PRESENT: TOKYO POLICE CLUB
with: TILL WE'RE BLUE, THE LAUGHING, CAR STEREO (WARS)
MONDAY NIGHT, MAR 10, 2008
"Canadian foursome Tokyo Police Club, denizens of the young side of things, should be college (sorry, university) students somewhere, getting into bars legally for the first time and mastering the fine art of term paper procrastination. Instead, they find themselves never-endingly out on the hard road with the likes of Art Brut, Cold War Kids and others, continuing to develop a sound that capitalizes on short bursts of energy, fast-twitch muscles and lyrics that gravitate toward a future that involves children handcrafting spaceships by fluorescent light when they should be sacked out with their stuffed animals hugged tightly"

This year, we'll be joined by Daytrotter, who will be streaming some of the performances live on the web, and local talent Annie Ray will be working hard in her photo booth as well.
As usual, the party is free, open to all. See you then!"

RHAPSODY PRESENTS: CLIPSE, CUT COPY, SONS & DAUGHTERS
with: BRISTISH SEA POWER, NO AGE, & MORE
THURSDAY (DAY), MAR 13, 2008
"If you don't think that rhymes about selling cocaine can be delightful, then you should hear "We Got It 4 Cheap Vol. 2," an impressive exercise in hip-hop formalism. Both brothers have tough, thin, back-of-the-throat voices. (They were joined onstage, as they are on the mixtape, by their protégés Ab-Liva and Sandman.) And despite their grim subject matter, you can tell they're rhyming for the pure thrill of it. The mood stays deadpan, but each stanza is an ode to the joys of internal rhymes, sly punch lines, slick threats."
-NEW YORK TIMES on CLIPSE
