It’s hump day, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with some music. Blitzen Trapper & Dawes are set to rock the Mercy Lounge tonight, and you shouldn’t miss it. I’ve been talking about this show for a while now because Blitzen Trapper is one of my favorite bands, and you get the added bonus of SoundLand headliners Dawes. Spin Magazine called this tour one of the top 30 fall tours of 2011.
Blitzen Trapper is touring on behalf of their newest release American Goldwing, and Dawes is supporting their newest release Nothing Is Wrong. Click here to read our past write up about both bands, here’s the write up that Spin Magazine did for their tour kick off show, click here for Blitzen Trapper’s and here for Dawes’ Daytrotter sessions. I’ve included a player (flash required) below to get you in the mood for tonight.
The show gets started with The Smoke Fairies at 8pm-ish, and you can grab your $15 tickets here.
This just in… Blitzen Trapper is going to perform FOR FREE at Grimey’s at 6:30pm tonight. Now, that sound like a good way to start off your night!
See you at the show!
