Tonight In Tempe: Vampire Weekend with Abe Vigoda | As Tall as Lions w/ Bad Veins

If you are expecting to go to a good show tonight expect to make your way to Tempe... unless you already live in Tempe or happen to be here doing something related to cave exploration.

If you don't have tickets to Vampy Weekends with Abe Vigoda then you are SOL unless you will consider blowing one of those scalpers, OR just giving them the amount of money they are asking in exchange for a ticket, I will leave the negotiations up to the two of you.

If you find your luck has run out in that department then please consider As Tall as Lions with Bad Veins at The Clubhouse. Just be sure to not park in front of that "arcade" or your shit will get towed. To be honest I have NOOOO idea who As Tall as Lions are... I do dig Bad Veins though. Check out some videos of the bands after the break.

Photos: Bad Veins at Modified Arts 8/31/2009

It was a cold (relatively) and stormy (kinda windy) night in Phoenix when Bad Veins rolled into town (I think they got here way before the storm though) to rock the few hearty souls that ventured out into the light drizzle and mid 90's temperature. Those of us that were brave enough were treated to the Ohio duo's ear busting indie pop including their signature "reel to reel" tape machine, supplier of the backing tracks.

Did that sound like a real show review? Jesus that was so effing cheesy. Enough of those shenanigans. Bad Veins kicked ass and if you didn't go you suck and totally missed out. If you were there you know it was awesome and really fucking loud. If Sebastien (drummer) doesn't go through a million cymbals a year from going all "Dave Grohl" on those things, color me surprised.

After the break are more pics and as always a BUNCH more on our Flickr page HERE

Bad Veins coming to Modified Arts on 8/31

Cincinnati's Bad Veins are coming to our very own hot little art gallery/venue Modified Arts on Aug 31 for what I can only imagine is going to be a jam packed, hot n' sweaty evening. If you are not aware then get yourself aware by watching the following video with your eyes and let it seep way down deep into your brain then I will see you at Modified on the 31st...ok?
