Anyone Know Where I Can Score Some Math-Rock?
Not going to the A Silver Mt. Zion show tonight because it’s sold out? Well, I can never go out on Mondays thanks to my radio show, so I have very little sympathy for you. After all, you can always head over to the Great American this evening and try to score a ticket to see the most famous Godspeed You Black Emperor side project post-rock your socks off. I, on the other hand, must simply concentrate on the other shows I will be able to attend this week.

The Mountain Goats
Amoeba
Free, 6:00 p.m.
Can’t get enough (a) lo-fi indie rock or (b) free shows at amoeba? Well, get your fix for both on Tuesday night as John Darnielle shares some yarns and some tunes. I would assume the show will probably be just him and his guitar, which means listeners will actually be able to hear what’s being said, unlike with so many Amoeba in-stores. Maybe you’ll even hear this song that keeps getting stuck in my head off of his last EP, “Alibi.”

Inca Ore & Skaters/Axolotl
Thee Parkside
Cheap
Don’t know how much this show’ll be, but it’s Thee Parkside, and it’s a noise show, so I’ll bet it’s around $5. Haven’t seen Inca Ore yet, but I’ve heard she has an amzing voice and does amazing things with it. I have, however, seen Skaters and Axolotl. The former are loud and noisy, the latter quiet and drony. What will the bastard child of these two bands sound like when they perform a set together? There’s only one way to find out.

Don Caballero
Amoeba
Free, 6:00 p.m.
Did you forget to pick up that CD you really needed when you were at the Mountain Goats in-store on Tuesday? Don’t fret, as moth-rockers Don Caballero will give you another excuse to hang out in an old bowling alley and probably spend wads of cash before you can leave. Their latest, World Class Listening Problem, out on Relapse has a little more metal influence and, while I don’t think it quite measures up to their classics, it’s still great. I cannot, however promise that the sound will be spot on for this one. If you’re willing to spend a little cash to see them in a proper venue, however…

Don Caballero and Zombi
Bottom of the Hill
$10/$12
That’s right. Bottom of the Hill. Later that night. The in-store merely whet your appetite for great math-rock? Can’t get enough of those technical repetitive riffs? Go see ‘em again or for the first time with thoroughly entertaining prog from Zombi.
That’s all for now. What is there later in the week, you may ask? Japanther, Wolf Parade, Cattle Decapitation, xbxrx, Growing, Mix Master Mike, and Herbert, to name a few.
