EDITOR’S PICK: NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL, ELF POWER
The Canopy Club ($37) — Tuesday, October 15th at 8:30 p.m.
This one is a no-brainer pick for the week, if you were lucky (or quick) enough to grab tickets when they basically sold out in the blink of an eye when they went on sale back in May. The reunited Neutral Milk Hotel is on a massive world tour, and we’re fortunate enough to have them stopping through to the Canopy Club. Although lead man Jeff Mangum has performed shows over the past several years, this touring band will feature Mangum, Scott Spillane, Julian Koster, and Jeremy Barnes, the lineup that came together following the release of On Avery Island in 1996. Oh, how we can’t wait for Tuesday to arrive.

WHAT: Krewella, Seven Lions, Candyland, Milk N Cookies
WHERE: The Canopy Club ($20 advance/$23 door)
WHEN: Wednesday, October 16th at 9 p.m.
Three pretty massive shows all this week at the Canopy Club, and this one on Wednesday night will feature a bit different scene than you will see at Neutral Milk Hotel, to say the least. DJs and womp womping all around for this Krewella show.

WHAT: Savoy, LoBounce
WHERE: The Canopy Club ($15)
WHEN: Thursday, October 17th at 10 p.m.
Savoy is on tour, which they’re calling their Get Lazer’d Tour. Plenty of Lazers have come through C-U in the past couple of weeks, no doubt. They also hail from Boulder, Colorado, which is where Big G is from and plays a few days prior to this show on Thursday night.

WHAT: Elsinore, Cody Sokolski, We the Animals
WHERE: The Highdive ($10)
WHEN: Friday, October 18th at 7 p.m.
Big show on Friday night for locals Elsinore, as their brand new album Push/Pull gets its official release on Parasol tomorrow. Our very own David Kierski took a good look at the record on Friday afternoon. You can also stream the new album over at Paste. Head over and see the show and grab a copy of the album from them on Friday night. They’ll be joined by Cody Sokolski, and a new outfit called We The Animals, consisting of Take Care/Barrowe’s Mark Wyman, Kayla Brown, Mikael Bracket (Midstress/The Annas) and Joe Funderburk. Really solid show.

WHAT: Twiddle, Soap, Zaramela
WHERE: The Canopy Club ($8 advance/$10 door)
WHEN: Friday, October 18th at 9 p.m.
Jam outfit Twiddle is in town to roundout the week at Canopy Club. A huge week for that venue, no doubt. Twiddle is on their Nice Crispy Bacon Tour, and no, I’m not making that up. No word on whether or not bacon will be present at the show. The only way to find out for sure is by going to the show yourself. Please, if there is bacon at the show, post to the SPlog.

WHERE: Cowboy Monkey ($5)
WHEN: Friday, October 18th at 10 p.m.
Pretty cool hip-hop show happening over at Cowboy Monkey on Friday night. Show starts a bit later than the rest, so heading over there after some of these others might be the best bet. Sarah will take a closer look at the show later in the week.

WHAT: The Curses
WHERE: The Iron Post ($5)
WHEN: Saturday, October 19th at 6 p.m.
C-U folk rockers the Curses will take the stage for an earlier show on Saturday night at the Iron Post. They’re in their element over at that venue, so it should be a good one.

WHAT: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, A Great Big Pile of Leaves
WHERE: Mike ‘N Molly’s ($10)
WHEN: Saturday, October 19th at 8 p.m.
Someone Still Loves Your Boris Yeltsin have a new album out on Polyvinyl called Fly By Wire, and they’re making their first appearance in C-U since Pygmalion 2011.

WHAT: Here Come The Mummies
WHERE: The Canopy Club ($20)
WHEN: Sunday, October 20th at 8 p.m.
Surf/rockabilly outfit Here Come The Mummies is back in town on Sunday night. It is just about as weird as it looks, as everyone is wrapped up like mummies.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
WHAT: The Tossers, Roberta Sparrow
WHERE: The Highdive ($12)
WHEN: Sunday, October 20th at 9 p.m.
Pretty cool punk show happening at the Highdive this weekend featuring the Tossers. They hail from Chicago, and you could put them in the same conversations as bands like Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly. That type of music. They’re joined by local punks Roberta Sparrow.
