But apparently AFI is playing a show at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre with Green Day tomorrow. I think AFI puts on an amazing live show its hard not to fall in love.
Speaking of live shows, look for another post from yours truly today about that subject.

Late again I know. My apologies. I’m finding that I have lost time to these things called books which I haven’t had much of a chance to read as of late because of school and now I’m on this thing called a break and I just don’t know what to do with myself (other than read).
Anyways, the only things of note (which is absolute importance you attend!) is The Silent Comedy pre-release show at The Casbah where they will have copies of their freshly minted cd Common Faults for the lovely price of $8. There is also a show on Thursday featuring Gregory Page at Milano Coffee Co which is also $8. Now, for the rest of the week…

AND: Red Octopus @ The Casbah $5
Wednesday: Buddy Akai @ Bar Pink Free!

If you’re in Philadelphia, you should definitely check this out. I just got the following in an email from World Cafe Live:
World Cafe Live’s first-ever Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 3rd at 1 p.m. Six Easter eggs will be placed around Center City & University City with a pair of tickets in each for a certain show!!
Here is how you can play: Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/worldcafelive and on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m., we will tweet six clues to help you find the eggs. Each clue is paired with one show: Ozomatli, Jason Collett, Aqualung, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All-Stars and Tao Rodriguez Seeger & Paper Bird! Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to let you know which clue goes with which show so you can be sure to hunt down the right one! When you’ve found the egg, tweet us back!
Does that not sound like the best idea for an Easter egg hunt!?! Someone in LA should set this up. I want to play!

The CD is officially out in Australia! The band is there at the moment doing a string of shows before returning to the states for the big show at the El Rey on May 15. In the meantime, their amazing video for their first single “Love Me, Chase Me” is in contention to be played on MTVU. Go here and vote for Carney to be this week’s Freshman Video. If they win, they’ll get airplay on MTVU!
After you VOTE FOR CARNEY (multiple times) check out the other videos! They all seem like great new bands to keep an eye on. Codeine Velvet Club is on my SXSW ’10 list and I just saw them last week with Nico Vega and Metric. Their song “Hollywood” was one of my favorites! The video for Silver Starling’s “Closer” is also fun…that is totally the kind of fort I used to build!
But let’s get that Carney video some airplay! Vote today! Have your say! It would make my day! Hahaha!! Clearly, I didn’t get enough sleep last night…okay! 🙂

Hello to my San Diegans!
I am still getting back to the ground after this crazy weekend I had. I’ll post an update about it soon enough. Until then, I don’t have much news for you. But should you be free tonight, go check out Metrofique at The Casbah opening for Field Music. They are a fun band live and I’ve heard this is the first show with the violin addition. Worth checking out!
I’ll have a full week schedule for you later tonight!

It’s been more years than I care to think since I last saw them, but Something Corporate is back and I still love them. I’m still not entirely back down to Earth as I write this. I also don’t know how I’m going to get any sleep tonight…I’m way too excited. Between San Diego Indie Music Fest and Bamboozled, we saw over 20 bands this weekend, most of them for the first time…I’m a bit overwhelmed with new music. Clear standouts (for me) were Far, After Midnight Project, and, of course, Something Corporate. I’m sure I’ll be detailing more of this at some point in the blog (links below), so keep checking ;). Amanda will have her take too!
As a result of my jam-packed schedule this weekend, this week’s list might not be all inclusive. But it’s still got some amazing shows. If you can only make one this week, please please PLEASE come out to The Bootleg on Weds to check out The Silent Comedy. It will be a lovely way to break up your week!
