Blitzen Trapper - Furr

The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

The Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine

Moondoggies Elkfest Warm Up

So the Moondoggies are supposedly playing in Spokane this Friday. They've been scheduled at the Empyrean for many months, but it has been closed for at least a couple months also. The Elkfest page claims they are playing an Elkfest warm up show. The Inlander seems to think this will take place at the Elk. Either way their should be some new songs like the one seen below.

Red Fang - Spokane, WA 5/12/2011

Red Fang made a stop in Spokane on Thursday to start of a very long tour for their new album Murder the Mountains. There were three openers at the A Club downtown so Red Fang didn't go on until 10:45. Despite the late start, these guys put on a great show. I was able to pick up the old and new album after the show. Check out their new video for "Wires" and their old video for "Prehistoric Dog". You can tell these guys like to have a good time.
