that's the anthem, get ya damn hands up
In case you haven't already heard, LiveNation decided to drop a massive 3-day music festival... in Pemberton at the end of July. It's really expensive ($240+charges for a 3-day pass) and you'll be joined by people who are willingly paying money to have their senses dulled by Coldplay, but Jay-Z and Tom Petty are both playing. You may recognize these men as legends in their respective genres. Apparently the entire campsite is 19+... good move with that one... right.
A lot cheaper, a little closer (for most of you, anyhow), but still pretty sweet, Video-In is hosting "the first occasional and semi-infrequent" Festival of Noise and Experimental Music on April 5th. click here and scroll down for the line-up.
My friend Piper has a show coming up on March 21st with Dragonette - whom I know nothing about - at the Commodore.
Metric is at the Commodore on April 17th. (thanks DB)
Some stuff coming up at the Astoria:
Modern Creatures and Culte du Cargo play on April 5th (which is one busy night). Dannydoesit will drop some tunes between sets.
Small Fame, Lord Yeggs, and Sports are there on April 11th.
You Say Party! We Say Die! plays on May 9th.
I'm really psyched for this one: Japanther play with Ladies Night and Vapid on May 31st.
And, Die Cowboy Die play tomorrow night, opening for Carving Hearts and Vonnegut Dollhouse. They're usually a duo, but tomorrow they'll be joined by Katie and Jenny ex-the Organ, which puts 3/4ths of the band up on stage for the first time in a long time.

All those other music bloggers are at South By. But whatever, I don't want rabies anyhow.
