What's Going on Tonight?

We're heading out to New Haven, Conn. tonight for the Kiss Kiss, with The Gay Blades show at Cafe Nine. Yeah we just saw them two weeks ago - so what? Local New Haven band Eula is opening up for them. Cover is $8, show is 21 plus. A nice little Q&A write up will appear in The Recorder on Wednesday. 

The Space is hosting Mission Hill with Villanova Junction and others tonight - doors are at 7 p.m., $10. It's going to be a mix of alt/indie rock with some reggae and latin-rock. 

Toad's Place in New Haven is hosting a white-out dance party. With their new admission policies, the 19 + crowd is now welcome (show student IDs for a discount at the door). Cover is $5 and Thomas "DJ Action" Jackson is spinning tonight. 

Or you can just kick it at Real Art Ways in Hartford, Conn. - John Kelly's Paved Paradise Redux is playing at 8 p.m.

DeVotchKa is on Tour Again
