Mountain Goats

Mountain Goats show or if you are into the hundreds, Darnielle and Co. never disappoint those who come for the music, but leave having absorbed every word spoken or sung. All dates with (*) indicates with Matthew E. White.

I like how the weekly spotlight on shows turned out in October, that I will start doing as a weekly feature (although not every night will be written about if there are no bands playing that night).

This is week zero of November; week one officially starts November 3rd.

Fidlar

Southern Californiaâ€™s FIDLAR followed, in support of their debut album on Mom & Pop, with an explosive 45min of punk/surf rock, set that threw the crowd immediately into a whipped up, sweat-dripped frenzy

THE ORWELLS

The Orwells are opening up for Fidlar at the 7th Street Entry on Saturday night (November 2nd). You may recall how we described Fidlar's show as "sweat-dripped frenzy ", so this should be a fun night for all young people.

This five piece (Cousins Mario Cuomo on vocals, Dominic Corso on guitar, twins Grant on bass, Henry Brinner on drums, and Matt Oâ€™Keefe on guitar) have together since 2008, when they were in 9th gradeâ€¦ but we first came to know them as one of the few American (from Chicago) band to be featured in NME's Great Escape Showcase from earlier this year.

Their tour dates:

10/31/13 Chicago, IL Subterranean

11/01/13 Madison, WI High Noon Saloon
