Twin Shadow

Touring on his sophomore record, Confess, Twin Shadow (real name George Lewis Jr.) sold out his first night at the Casbah so a second was added, which is also sold out. But fret not, because there are always solid alternatives in this town. The Belly Up features a solid local lineup with one of my favorites, Tyson Motsenbocker, while Still Ill give some heart and soul to their favorite Morrissey and Smiths tunes at Soda Bar. 2000 Tons of TNT make an appearance at Tin Can, and Takahashi is over at Eleven. It's a good night for music, indeed.
