So we’re excited about Shearwater’s upcoming album, and especially to see them live (their 2008 show we saw was nothing short of epic)..what can make it better?  One of our fav local (and national) bands, Wye Oak, is opening for them..that’s what.

The only downside is they’re playing the horrible Rock & Roll Hotel in DC (3/26).  You gotta get there early for a good spot in that joint.  Done and done.

Hear Shearwater’s new tunage here, and check out some sweet pics of a recent Wye Oak show from Kyle Gustafson.
