2/13 Rogue Wave at Harrah's Riverport Casino
2/15 Andrew Bird at the Pageant

That's the only one so far. I'm thinking about going to see the Fiery Furnaces. Are they worth it?

Updated.

they are really disjointed and bizarre live. they'll do, like, the first verse of a song, move to the chorus of another song, back to another verse from the first song, onto the verse of yet another song, etc. it's hard to pay attention after awhile.

Well, your description almost convinced me not to see them. But I just found out that Deadboy & the Elephantmen are opening for them. I missed them in December, so since I'll be there anyway, I'll sit through the Fiery Furnaces.

Going to:

02/02 - Stars

Considering:

04/07 - Metric

Thinking about rogue wave - I get back into town that day, though, so I may be knackered.
