A choice… one band (A Lull @ Beachland Tavern / $8) I just saw at Pitchfork Music Festival and really enjoyed the. The next is a band (Fang Island @ Grog Shop / $12) who I've had on my calendar so many times that my brain thinks I've seen them before (a thorough search of my shit says I haven't). Basing my decision on a penchant for the unknown, I'm going Fang Island. This recent concert review didn't hurt.

"Friday night at Bowery Ballroom, Fang Island released their new album, Major, while playing all the guitars. The music must have been laced or bewitched with some sort of auditory-response mechanism, because everyone seemed to lose control of their limbs and start shredding air guitars, as if the band was summoning the ghosts of dead rock star’s guitars and we were being possessed by the ghost guitars. I myself had to re-string my ghost guitar like three times, and that was spooky. As an album, if I had to give Major a rank, I would promote it to General."
