After all those dance parties, we feel like we shook our stuff more last week than we have in all the rest of 2014. This week will offer a welcome break from the dance floor with a few shows that are parties of the mind rather than the body. We’re talking Chris Forsyth and William Tyler at the Stone Fox tomorrow, The Black Angels and Roky Erickson at Mercy Lounge on Friday, and the lovely Angel Olsen at the Stone Fox on Saturday. Those are some shows so solid you gotta see at least one, but with how warm it’s supposed to be this week, why not go see all three? We are!
UPDATE: Two righteous shows somehow slipped through the cracks here initially. Cincinnati’s Oxford Cotton are playing at the End on Friday with locals Breast Massage and Ultras S/C, and Nobunny, the Hussy, Weekend Babes, and more will also be at the End on Saturday. Good shows abound.
