Wilco, a Bird, and some Zappa


Wilco has announced a few more dates for their summer tour, and while I was initially apprehensive about the prospect of driving two hours on a Wednesday to Tanglewood to see them, they just upped the ante by adding Andrew Bird to the bill on 8/12. How could I not go to this show? Wilco's is basically my favorite band on earth and Andrew Bird blew me away the last time I saw him. Plus, if past shows are any indication, Andrew Bird will be sitting in for a good portion of Wilco's set. 

Anyway I'm incredibly excited for this, and it gives me a reason to link to Steve DePino's excellent photos from the New Haven show that we went to in February (the pic above is his, the rest are at his blog here). 

Best of all, I heard from Gamera on Wednesday and he let me know that a week earlier, Zappa Plays Zappa is coming back to the Hampton Casino Ballroom. We went to the show last year with only a vague notion of what to expect and left the show staggering not only from the (literally) 100+ degree room, but three hours of complete Zappa musical insanity. So we'll be meeting up once again this year on the strip of surreal depravity that is the Hampton Beach boardwalk for some more musical acrobatics. Looking like a very good week for live music.
