Didn’t see any Ted Leo dates unless I missed them. Truth is i’ve never listened to them. 🙂
Shane, really? I want to see them but the fact that it’s in Whelans is holding me back.

definitely. they do a fantastic show, probably best gig since arcade fire for just being surrounded by amazing noise. and it’d probably be worth mailing him too, if tickets are that price.

Yeah, was at 65 Days last week. What an onslaught! Really enjoyed it though I have to say. I guess it’s Math Rock May, what with Battles coming up too.

The Frog Pocket gig on Sunday was the best of the year so far. Beautiful violin/guitar with laptop backing. Herv played a really strong set as well. Can’t wait to see F P at Mantua again this year.
