DAR WILLIAMS
Melissa Ferrick
Sunday, April 12
$26 - Doors 7, Show 8

On Williams' newest album, elegant, worldly songs sound visceral and urgent, while the integrity and emotion that have been hallmarks of her sound (along with a beautifully intimate, bell-clear voice) since Williams began playing out on the Northeast singer-songwriter circuit in the early '90s are preserved.

Vans Presents
TURBONEGRO
Kandi Coded
Friday, April 17
$30 - Doors 8, Show 9 (4 ticket limit per person!)

From Norway , these 6 deviants have wrought more rockin' havoc around the world than any other band in the last ten years. Their blue-denim sailor-boy gear and "faux-mo-erotic" lyrics have caused astonishment and confusion everywhere. Their remorseless collaging of influences from across the spectrum of classic rock, punk and metal - what they call their musical "dream cocktail" - serially blows the minds of their disciples, leaving others wondering if it's really okay to let their jams be kicked out, too.

At first glance, Kevin Rudolf's enigmatic anthem “Let It Rock" (featuring Lil Wayne) seems to have air–dropped over radio out of nowhere, becoming a genre–defying game–changer that has put the alluring artist smack in the cross–hairs. Truth is – the urban music world's been waiting for a cutting edge hit–maker with a rock pedigree to turn the page on the current musical landscape.
