The band is The Awkward Stage, a delightful Vancouver pop outfit we caught at the Media Club on the weekend. If you like jangly shit like Belle and Sebastian, the New Pornographers (for whom they'll be opening at the Commodore in late September) or the Smiths, you'll probably like them.
I simply can't get over the number of gigs that are coming up in this town. So far, we've tickets for Fujiya and Miaygi, The National, Tokyo Police Club and Art Brut. Other upcoming gigs include Au Revoir Simone/Oh No! Oh My!, Girl Talk/The Blow/Thunderheist, The Thermals, Spoon, Shout Out Louds, Klaxons, Stars, the Russian Futurists, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Office, Chad VanGaalen, Justice and the Spice Girls.
Obviously I don't have the cash or energy to make it to all of them, but gosh its nice to have choices.
