The Week Ahead: Bay Area Concerts
Devendra Banhart
by Moses Namkung
The slogan of this week, music-wise, should be AM PM's: Too Much Good Stuff. Except it's actually good stuff, not like, nasty hot dogs, fake cheese and dessicated Slim Jims.
Hope you aren't too busy doing your taxes at the last minute and are going out to see some music this week. Like, seriously. If you aren't, at least take a peek at the list below... (as for us, we'll catch Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trapper on Tuesday before heading south to LA for some Springsteen action and then Coach-ella!, ella, ay, ay). Say hi if you see us in the masses!
