Monday Mash-Up

REM, The National, and Modest Mouse will all be at Lakewood Amphitheater on June 21st.

Tom Petty will be playing at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater at Encore Park. You're probably thinking, what the hell venue is that? Me too. So I googled it, and it is a new venue in Atlanta (actually Alpharetta, Ga) that will open in May. Check it out.

Phosphorescent is doing a huge tour and totally skipping the south. Lame. Although if you go to SXSW with us you can catch him there. Lucky me. Here's a vid:

After 43 years, Israel has un-banned The Beatles from their country. Maybe the middle-east can give peace a chance now.

Destroyer will be at The Earl on April 28th. Yaher!

Cable And Tweed has a sweet Andrew Bird show from 2003 at The 40 Watt in Athens, Ga up.

The mysterious Vineland Festival that was supposed to go down in New Jersey in August is being scrapped this year and will hopefully debut in 2009. All Points West Fest (Coachella East) announced they were going head-to-head with Vineland the same weekend in about the same spot last week.

Jazz Fest in New Orleans has announced a line-up. It goes down April 25th-May 4th.
