Speaking of Wolf Parade [metblogs]: what the fuck are they doing playing on 31 August at Kraftbrau in Kalamazoo? I demand that my extensive Michigan-based readers attend this show and report back to HQ immediately. More to the point, when did Kraftbrau become such a great venue (see also, upcoming shows from Mountain Goats, Elf Power, and Rogue Wave).

Maybe I never noticed because no one plays shows over xmas, which is just about the only time I'm ever in town?
