The Wooden Birds (ex-American Analog Set) Tomorrow in New Haven

It looks like we forgot about Shaki Presents. They did a ton of great shit last summer. You may remember they did White Williams a little while back. Regardless, they are putting on a great show (and plenty of other great shows coming up) on Sunday at BAR in New Haven, Conn.

The Wooden Birds look to be headlining. They signed to one of my favorite labels, Barsuk (home of Mates of State, Ra Ra Riot, Say Hi), earlier this year and are set to release their first album, titled magnolia, sometime this spring. Pretty much if you liked the American Analog Set, you'll like this.

If you're going, make sure you don't miss the openers. Brooklyn's La Strada is making a ton of noise in BK (see: Earfarm's Top 10 Brooklyn Bands You Need Hear Now or what seems to be last year's L Magazine's 8 Bands You Need to Watch feature--this year's edition out the 29th, I believe). They have an EP out now on Ernest Jenning and are prepping an LP now. Believe the hype.

I may go to this since I missed them at Union Hall last night and I'll actually be in CT this weekend (2nd Easter!). Maybe I'll see you there?
