I was more than a little busy Monday so I wasn't able to check up on the mighty Twitter much. Apparently I picked the wrong day to be occupied as everyone and their mother decided to announce that they were coming to the Lou. Obviously I'm still swamped because it took me until Wednesday to actually put together a post, but hey better late than never! Here's a preview of some of the shows coming to town later this year, St. Louis you're blowing up! As always check out the STL Concert Calendar [...]

One of the bands I'm most interested in seeing at this year's Pitchfork fest is Japandroids , a two-man outfit from Vancouver. Guitar and drums - what else do you need?

Japandroids (JPNDRDS) are a two piece band from Vancouver, BC.Japandroids was formed in 2006, and is comprised of Brian King and David Prowse.
