First of all, I just want to mention that central Conn. or the area surrounding it is looking pretty good over the next few days. And with that, props to the Hartford Party Starters Union - they've got some parties planned that I am fully prepared to promote at least if not attend. (READ UP)
Tonight (Tuesday) we have 1) Tim Palmieri (vocals, lead guitar) of The Breakfast at The Space in Hamden, Conn. The Breakfast are a jam band...? Doors at 6 p.m., tickets are $8.
2) Manic is also putting on a show tonight at Cafe Nine in New Haven, Conn. with Tim Barry of Avail - doors at 8 p.m., $8 21+
For Wednesday, we've got a couple of options: 1) If you bought tickets to Vampire Weekend at Smith College, I'm assuming it's on the top of people's lists for a Wednesday night. According to Northampton Box Office, the show's not sold out yet. Even if it is come 7 or 8 p.m. the night of, there will most likely be scalpers. I'm not trying to call them out - I love the self-titled debut - but maybe they'll have new material by now?
2) We also have The Honors, along with a bunch of other names on the supporting bands list at The Space. The Honors are from Boston, Mass., have been touring the are for a while and will continue to do so well into the summer. They're an indie rock, alt band who The Space says sound like The Killers. Their frontmen even share the same name. Doors at 7 p.m., $10
1) WFCS 107.7 is hosting a hip-hop concert in Alumni Hall in the student center at CCSU at 11 p.m. - it's free! And they want you to know they have free food! Names like Milo Sheff, Kamoflauge, Grown Tone and QP as well as few CCSU student rappers are lined up for Thursday's show. Also, local DJs Wayne DeRoy and Earle Nelson will be spinning.
2) Kiss Kiss is always a good time. I've seen them once, but went with 2 people who have seen the band a few times before and keep coming back. More recently, they released their new record The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth. Plus, Kiss Kiss admittedly loves The Space and its crowd, so it looks to be good night. Doors at 7 p.m., $10
3) VRSA will be playing Cafe Nine with the Cloud Professors. Die Hipster Productions are putting on the show. Show at 9 p.m.
For Friday we have the Pains of Being Pure at Heart - I've been listening to their debut record for about 2 months and I've come to the conclusion that this show is probably too good to pass up for only $8. It's at the Wallingford American Legion - good times there, I hear. If you miss this show, however, the PoBPaH are playing the Iron Horse Music Hall on April 26 with Ponytail.
2) Speaking of, Ponytail will be performing a free show at Wesleyan's Eclectic Society, a frat house-turned-venue. The shows always start way later, but the Web site says 9 p.m.
On Saturday, one of the Turkey's favs Bear Hands is making an appearance at Meriden's Daffodil Festival with Bottle Up and Go.
2) Lastly, the Hartford Party Starters are putting on a show in Hartford, Conn. (yeah, Hartford) on Saturday with electronic/experimental band TheDeathSet and Ninjasonik.
