Here at home, funk/soul band KINGS will rule at The Camel Friday night. Doors open at 8, show starts at 9. Tix are $8 advance, $10 day of show. Ohbliv, Charles Owens Quartet, & DJ Rattan will open. It's tax day so you can dance those givin' $ to Uncle Sam blues away.
Sunday night at Broadberry, get down with pop rockers Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. Avers is opening the show (where have they been hiding?) along with Little Scream. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8, it's $12 advance, $15 day of show. Thao has a new album out called "A Man Alive". They are getting some buzz, opening for Death Cab for Cutie later this summer and Paste Magazine named them one of the best bands at this year's SXSW. They are also hitting a number of festivals such as Interstellar Rodeo (Winnipeg), 80/35 (Des Moines), Pickathon (Oregon) and Mamby on the Beach (Chicago). Here they are doing "Bag of Hammers" at SXSW. I hope they bring the taco hats with them.
Puscifer, led by Tool's Maynard James Keenan, is at The National Monday night. Tix are $38 in advance, $43 day of show. Doors open at 7, show starts at 8 and no opener is listed. If you like poster art, be sure to check out their Facebook page. They have unique and amazing posters for each show on this tour. And there will be wrestling at the show. I kid you not. From their latest album, "Money Shot", here's "The Remedy" (language NSFW):

That's it. Have a great weekend! I'll be seeing Pearl Jam on Monday at Hampton Coliseum. I don't know if they'll bring My Morning Jacket with them so Eddie can perform this Who classic with them, but it would be pretty sweet.
