if a show's in your area, i highly suggest you go.
the lucksmiths are like belle and sebastian being played by the violent femmes. math and physics club is typical worthless twee pap, but whatever
most importantly, however, is pipas. pipas will be opening for the lucksmiths at almost every show but the one i'm going to (
). pipas is the greatest indiepop band since belle and sebastian, really. literate, computer-savy, sung by a girl who sounds like a less confident astrud gilberto. they're incredible and i would follow them on this tour were it realistic. so someone go for me
oh and ladybug transistor is playing too, and they're okay
