On The Radar

Tomorrow's Shows Today

By WW Editorial Staff


Menomena,

Wednesday, April 22 @ Roseland

U.K. mope rockers Bloc Party headline, but it's the first local performance in ages by our boys Menomena that's really got us excited. Kick out the jams, Danny!

Fastball, Tuesday, April 28 @ Mississippi Studios
Wait, is it 1998 or 2009? So maybe Fastball only had that one hit (the still-catchy "The Way"), but the band was always underrated in our book.

Vivian Girls, Tuesday, April 28 @ Holocene
Dig Motown but wish all your favorite 45s had a little more edge? Brooklyn's Vivian Girls sing sweet, girl-group-inspired harmonies buried inside a hiss of lo-fi fuzz.

Grizzly Bear, Sunday, May 24 @ Aladdin Theater
If your paycheck won't let you make the trek up to the Gorge for Sasquatch, then Grizzly Bear performing songs from the best album of 2009 is a good backup plan.

David Byrne, Tuesday, June 23 @ The Schnitz
David Byrne! Playing the songs he's written with Brian Eno! Including Talking Heads jams! Umm, duh.

Willamette Week’s reporting has real-life impact that changes laws, forces action by civic leaders, and drives compromised politicians from public office.
