To counterbalance some of my whining in recent posts, I'd like to offer a pair of uplifting developments on the local scene.
Tonight, at The NorVa, Thao and The Get Down Stay Down will rock along with the excellent and eye-pleasing Rilo Kiley. I'm hoping to see at least part of Thao's set tonight. It's a priority because I've been kicking myself for missing Thao's Boot show earlier this year.
Speaking of The Boot ... that's where, on July 19, the prickly, poppy, punky sounds of Mas y Mas will rub up against those of the dazzlingly gonzo Bastards of Fate, a Roanoke band I've been hoping to hear for months now.
Yipeeeee!
