Shibboleth/Magic Cyclops/Dutch Treats (Double Wide): Magic Cyclops just played RGRS, and he'll be bringing his one-man/one-joke act to the Double Wide, which makes a lot of thematic sense. Shibboleth does what more bands should do, go instrumental. Hey, at least that's one less thing you have a chance of completely fucking up. The Dutch Treats is John from Sloppyworld's solo project and it looks like he'll be a good match for Magic Cyclops.


Menomena/Mom/All Smiles (Granada): I think Menomena might get a little undue credit for being "experimental", when they are far from it to my ears. I am, however, familiar enough with music biz propaganda to understand that might not necessarily be the band's fault. They do seem better than most indie-pop acts, high concept or otherwise. This will be a good show for Mom to open, with their celebrated violin-heavy atmospherics. All Smiles is a Grandaddy side project. I'll let you figure the rest of that one out.

80's Night WIth DJ G (Hailey's): I heard this guy talking about Italo disco waaaay before they sold comps of the stuff at Costco.
