Weekend Music

As previously mentioned, Les Savy Fav play Neumo's tonight. If the idea of a pregnant dude spitting water on you doesn't quite float your boat, head to the Croc to check out Cave Singers and Fleet Foxes.

Tonight is also a free-free-free hip hop show at the War Room with Bun B and Swizz Beatz, care of the redundantly good people at Goods and Zune. Show up early; the last event like this, with Clipse at the Baltic Room, was crazy-packed.

Tomorrow night at the Croc is another a free show: Throw Me the Statue celebrating their EP release. We saw the local band open for Jens Lekman last month and were more than pleasantly surprised by the gritty lo-fi buzz that well complements their sunny indie pop melodies. TMTS also plays a headlining show at the Vera earlier in the evening.

There's also a great show (not for free) at Neumo's, with Arthur & Yu and The Thermals. We've already given Arthur & Yu some love here, but we'll be interested to see how their mellow boy-girl 60s throwback sound meshes with the one-two-three-four punk assault of the Thermals. All aboard the rock train!
