Quick recap of the week... Monday residency launches were quite good and well-attended. You'd best be going out to a few this month if you can. The lineups are all stacked top to bottom... Congrats to Brandon McCulloch and the Deadbirds (pictured above) on their Wild Imagine record release on Wednesday. We were gigantic fans of Silver back in the day so finally seeing The Deadbirds put some new music out is a long time coming. Be sure to pick up the album on CD Baby or wherever you might see it on a shelf somewhere... Thursday, was Señor Avi Buffalo's birthday and he celebrated the night with a show with friends and family at The Echo. The night was also a bit of a release party for their new 7" on Sub Pop. Get it here.
