Concert Announcements: The Black Angels, The War on Drugs, Foals, Interpol and many more


I've once again been really, really bad about updating this blog. There have been a ton of great concert announcement in the past month and toping the list is news that The Black Angels are returning to Lawrence. They are a favorite of mine and they've killed each time I've seen them live. They also put out one of my top 10 favorite albums of 2010 with Phosphene Dream. They'll be at the Bottleneck on Saturday, April 23rd.

Here's the long list of shows I've missed posting about in the last month:
