One of my favorite top hat wearin’ dark mysterious crooning songwriters, Vandaveer, is back with a new 7″, Turpentine b/w Woolgathering, that’s pretty swell and a new tour as well. Get the 7″ here. Listen to one of the tracks here:

Tonight it’s going to be hard to choose which show to see. At the 8×10 Eureka Birds have their CD Release show (it’s an awesome album!) while NYC’s The Bloodsugars and The Lisps play Metro Gallery. It’s a tough decision. Down south in DC The Gutter Twins play the Black Cat while Scott Miller and Vandaveer take on Iota in Arlington, VA. Up north in Philly there’s a load of great shows to go to. The Sea and Cake play First Unitarian Church, The Decemberists play the Electric Factory with Loch Lomond, The Mountain Goats perform at the Fillmore at the TLA with Kaki King, and finally Illinois, Aderbat, and Drink Up Buttercup liven up The Fire. Enjoy!

Over at the Rock and Roll Hotel, DC’s Junior League command the stage along with Justin Jones and Driving Rain. Or maybe you’re broke.
