I didn’t post anything last week, but that’s okay, because I didn’t go anywhere. I missed a lot of good shows by Arcade Fire, the Moses Gun, the Reptoids, Terminal Bliss, and fellow metroblogger Jason, but I needed a break. I kept falling asleep from all the turkey anyway. Hopefully you caught some of them, and let me know what you thought.

By the way, I want to make special note of the Reptoids. They’ve been played on WXRT, Q101, and now on WLUW. Not bad for a band that started only six months ago. I’m sure I’ll say all this again next week, but check them out at Gunther Murphy’s on the 9th; they’re a good time.

• Thursday: Tegan & Sara @ the Double Door. I admit it, this concert will be a learning experience for me. w/ Rachael Cantu. 21+, 9pm, $10.
• Friday: Bang! Bang!, Telenovela, and the Dirty Things @ the Empty Bottle. Just go. All the bands rock. The Empty Bottle rocks. I rock. You rock. This is also a record release show for Telenovela, so that’s an added bonus. 21+, 10pm, $8.
• Saturday: The Goldstars @ the Hideout. They have go-go dancers. Nuff said. w/ My Record Player. 21+, 9pm. Check here for price.

See you there, and happy holidays!
