Like, I can't go out tonight, um, I have to see a man about a dog, BUT you peeps ought to dig this action! C'mon, it's Tuesday, I KNOW, but is it really ever TOO early to CUT LOOSE??! All right, so, tonight's bill: there's Minnesota band Teenage Moods, who are a jangling Midwest/'80s indie-sounding group with hints of a charming anglophile affection, Wiscon, a local quartet whose lo-fi, keyboard led coolness is ALL late-'70s new wave sans checkerboard blouses, Skates feature ex-members of Redwood Plan and are accurately self-described as pop-punk, and UK group Esper Scout, who are quite well sorted with their BIG indie sound, like proper '90s indie sound; they come off like Jale with bigger amps or Come without the drugs.

Right, so there you go: FOUR bands, FIVE bones—NO EXCUSES! Well, unless you're going to see a man about a dog. Oh, be sure to show up early, as the Victory gets real packed real QUICK!

TONIGHT! Tues Nov 18 // Victory Lounge // $5 // bands at 9:30 pm
