Yellow Fever, Horse + Donkey at Emo's Lounge
Those dang Emo's ... always inching around for a little extra room to crowd bands in. We have to say though that we love Emo's Lounge maybe even a little more than the old indoor stage: better sight lines, ingenious two-tiered standing room, and the band has to enter/exit the stage through the crowd, giving you that much more of a chance to feel up Marnie Stern or whoever. Tonight's bill will feature local lacklusters Yellow Fever, who play lovely Moe Tucker-ish pop and are most assuredly NOT that New York fashion-guy-turned-punk/emo/ska artist...thank frickin' god. Preceding will be the excellent likes of punk-funk-drunk-skunks Horse + Donkey, The Little Bicycles, and Year Of The Rat, who although apparently named after the Wipers song play mostly subdued and very cool Mogwai-style ambient rock. Emo's Lounge-it's right on the corner there, you can't miss it!
