We sure have been having a resurrection of college radio/early indie acts, with recent tours by Nada Surf, Pedro the Lion and Minus the Bear, and tonight it continues as Jeremy Enigk (of Sunny Day Real Estate) celebrates the anniversary of "Return of the Frog Queen," his 1996 solo effort. It should make for a great night at Soda Bar, but then again, Casbah will be amazing, too, with the return of Justin Townes Earle and Lydia Loveless. Around town, Slaughter Boys play a rare Sunday show at Whistle Stop, Kalashnikov My Wife busts out the uke at Sycamore Den and our friends in Kitten open for Blue October at House of Blues.
