Things are probably going to get weird at Soundlab tonight: between Vermont space rock group The Vacant Lots, Toronto's garage-pop The Auras, and Buffalo's smiley smilers the birD day, there's going to be enough psychedelia to make you regret eating all that acid - whether you actually had any or not. And this isn't your everyday, smoke-weed-and-wear-tiedye psych affair where someone's uncle is going to be hashing out Dead covers; The Vacant Lots are signed to Mexican Summer, the freaks behind Ariel Pink, Black Moth Super Rainbow, and Kurt Vile. The two-piece manages to generate some impressive walls of noise that get right into the center of your head. Show starts at 8 Soundlab Standard Time, and there's going to be some serious mind-bending going on.~sg

Tonight: The Ovens, Utah Jazz, Bob Dylan's Coffin
Chicago's riot grrrl duo The Ovens have been maintaining a impressively hectic touring schedule since releasing their self-titled debut a few months ago. Amidst all the east coast zig-zagging, they hit NYC twice this week - with a Philly date in between. And if you haven't heard them, hectic might be a good way to describe their sound, too: short and loud punk runs that blend abrasiveness with catchy riffs and lyrics. Buffalo's own bass-less, "hectic" punk ensemble Utah Jazz will be joining them at The Vault tonight, along with a group called Bob Dylan's Coffin, who I've never heard of, but with a "why don't you come find out" name like that, I think I'll have to.~sg
