I been a satellite radio subscriber for a few years now, and while I'm more of a SiriusXMU fan than an Alt Nation girl, I do listen to my share of both, and so when I saw Thursday's House of Blues show announced a while back, I was pretty excited. Banners has this dreamy voice, and the Moth & the Flame remind me a lot of Keane, so it's already a solid lineup, but add Pop Etc -- who used to be known as the Morning Benders -- and you've got an amazing lineup. Of course, it's not the only show around town: Head Wound City return to the Casbah, Weatherbox return to Soda Bar, and Listen Local Radio presents the All Access Fest at Music Box.
