I just got home from the Cake Shop show. It was pretty good, but I am tired. I’ll post those pics tomorrow as soon as I am able. As for tomorrow, the optimal show is most definitely Harlem at Mercury Lounge. I don’t really like seeing bands there, but these guys will put on a kickass show anywhere. You’d probably be better off seeing the Austin-based group at Monster Island on Friday with Frankie & the Outs, but you might also want to go see Obits and Grey Goods on Friday, so this show is a good idea. I’m having a hard time keeping my eyes open as I write this, but Harlem play quirky guitar-drums punk tunes and they absolutely blew me away at SXSW last year. I don’t know Girls At Dawn all that well, but their MySpace sounds like they may be at least an entertaining garage-y band. My absolute favorite song off of Harlem’s album, Free Drugs ; – ) is below. They have a new record coming out soon, though.
