SILKWORM

Montana indie rock greats Silkworm (Tim Midyett, Joel RL Phelps, Andrew Cohen and Jeff Panall) reunited for their first official shows in nearly 20 years back in September, and they’ve now announced a spring run of Midwest / East Coast dates that mark their most extensive tour in two decades. Dates kick off May 6 in Berwyn, IL and from there the band head to Columbus and Pittsburgh (with The Gotobeds), followed by East Coast shows with Come.

THE BUG CLUB

Sub Pop-signed Welsh band The Bug Club start their short East Coast tour on Thursday (12/4) at Tubby’s Kingston and wraps up with two nights at TV Eye in NYC on 12/15 and 12/16.

TOBY HUSS – RUDY CASONI XXXMAS BOOZEBAG REVUE

Fans of early-’90s MTV may remember the channel’s irreverent promos featuring a Frank Sinatra-like crooner doing jazzy interpretations of songs by Pearl Jam, Snoop Dog and more.

ULRIKA SPACEK

ANAMANAGUCHI HOLIDAY SHOW AT MARKET HOTEL
