Tonight if you are in Baltimore you should n0t be anywhere but our friends Aural States’ One Year Anniversary Festival at Sonar. The line up includes a slew of stellar local acts including Arbouretum, Wye Oak, Lo Moda, Small Sur, Sri Aurobindo, Andy Abelow, Imperial China, and Caverns, Pleasant Livers, CANNOT BE STOPPED, Hollywood, Title Tracks (John Davis from Q and Not U/Georgie James). If you are not in Charm City and in DC instead then perhaps you’d like to check in on the next saga of Thievery Corporation in their week long take over of the 9:30 Club. If you’re up in Philly then you’re probably aching to see Lykke Li at the First Unitarian Church with Wildbirds & Peacedrums. If you can’t manage to swing that one, you’re in luck because there’s another fab show over at Johnny Brenda’s featuring Annuals, Jessica Lea Mayfield, and What Laura Says. Enjoy!
