Fans of acoustic-y, folk-y, guitar-y music with great lyricism should pay attention. 3 solid songwriters on one bill. This is a great tour. I'm mainly going for the Sera Cahoone factor, as she is one of the nicest, coolest, darkest and sweetest songwriters I know, but I imagine Mr. Seawolf will put on an intense solo set. Dig the Patrick Park as well. Get your tickets soon.

Are you kidding? Check out these details and tell me that this is not insane....On this tour, the Pixies will perform all of the songs from Doolittle and its related B-sides, "Weird at My School," "Dancing the Manta Ray," and "Bailey's Walk" among them. Doolittle, the band's third album and the first to chart on Billboard's album charts, includes classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away." An imaginative cinematic production has been created for The Doolittle Tour. Designed by long-time Pixies lighting designer Myles Mangino and designer Paul Normandale, the set features four huge, undulating, eyeball-like spheres flown just below the lighting rig and are part of the concert's light show. Filmmakers Judy Jacobs, Tom Winkler, Brent Felix and Melinda Tupling were brought on board to create 11 films especially for the production. The films are projected onto a massive backdrop video screen to accompany 12 of the 21 songs that comprise the show. Fuck Buttons to open. (Plenty of Fuck Buttons videos on the silverplatterinfo youtube channel) YEAH!!!

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have come a long way since their humble beginnings nearly a decade ago. Steeped in the gilded and gritty sounds of gospel, soul, and funk, this nine-piece act continued to electrify fans, disc jockeys, critics, record collectors, and bloggers the world over with their heart-felt sound. Their devotion to soul music is clearly demonstrated on the band’s four critically acclaimed albums Dap Dippin (2002), Naturally (2005), 100 Days, 100 Nights (2007), and their newest release I Learned The Hard Way (2010), all captured and released by the independent Daptone Records, in Brooklyn, NY. Their albums recall an analog era led by iconic studios like those at Motown and Stax Records and have thrust the fifty-four year old Augusta, GA native and crew into the multimedia limelight. All ages. ztickets available at Phoenix Convention Center box office (NO SVR FEES - 100 N. 3rd Street, 602-262-7272), Stinkweeds Records, Hoodlums Records and TICKETMASTER
