Iron & Wine @ Knitting Factory [June 2]

Iron & Wine @ Knitting Factory 2011-06-02

If the artwork from Iron & Wine’s 2010 release, Kiss Each Other Clean, doesn’t spark your interest, I’m barking up the wrong tree when I textually elate over Samuel Beam aka Iron & Wine’s upcoming performance at the Knitting Factory Concert House here in Reno, NV on Thursday, June 2nd.

For those who need a bit more than albumart to fully capture their attention, we could let you know that Iron & Wine released his debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle, on the Sub Pop label in 2002 and has had his music placed in many different venues including a commercial for M&M’S and a spot on the Garden State film soundtrack.

It looks like the reserved box seats are already sold out, but general admission is still a ‘go’.

$24-$60.  All ages.  Get tickets.

Asobi Seksu @ Tonic Lounge [June 1]

Asobi Seksu @ Tonic Lounge 2011-06-01

After running the music section at WomensRadio for the last four and one half years, I’ve become accustomed to having artists pop up out of nowhere and become ‘the next big thing’.  I’ve become even more familiar with the sheer excitement radiating off of these types of bands and everything surrounding them; including their representation, fans and press, which all combine to become the major catalyst in igniting the fuse which sends them into orbit.

Asobi Seksu.  If I said it out loud I’d more than likely mispronounce it, but all tongue twisters aside this is a show not to be missed … especially if you are one to enjoy that which might include classification as ‘shoegaze’ or rock music with that ‘indie pop’ vibe.  It’s pretty delicious.

Where’s it at?  Tonic Lounge in Reno, NV.  Opening group you ask?  See: Grimes.

$10.  21+.  Get tickets.
