Avett Brother at Mesa Arts Center in April



 Did you guys already know that The Avett Brothers are playing at The Mesa Arts Center in April? I didn't so it's a good thing I keep an eye on these kind of things because seeing shows from awesome bands inside the Ikeda Theatre is nothing short of amazing (ie Bon Iver) Tickets are $31 and you can get them HERE remember this video from before?

Video: The Avett Bros "Slight Figure Of Speech"



Sometimes bands try to make funny videos and come off looking like total asshats so it's best to leave the shenanigans to the professionals. And in this case the Avett Brother enlisted Andrew Daly, the principal from what many might consider the funniest show on TV (I think it's the second right behind Sunny in Philly) East Bound & Down to play a pitch man on a home shopping network like channel called The American Bargain network or TAB (get it?) for short. It's all very well made and worth the watch even if you don't even like The Avett Brothers.
