Kristen's Concert Picks: Ready for July's Show Forecast?

Discoveries of chalk art are always exciting!

After June's flood of tunes, July's list may seem a bit short, but don't let the length fool you. These bands will pack a rockin' punch, so you won't wanna miss them!

Sat, July 3: Romanenko @ 10 PM @ Caledonia
It's time for some awesome indie tunes with a touch of darkness! Romanenko will give our ears what they need to ease us into the heat of July.

Fri, July 9: Venice is Sinking @ 9 PM @ 40 Watt
Venice is Sinking, the rulers of Athens' soft pop scene, are giving us another chance bask in their amazing new songs. If you haven't checked them out yet, this eternal favorite is a must-listen!

Sat, July 10: Second Suns @ 8 PM @ 40 Watt
They may be young, but they sure know how to bring the rock. Get ready for the upbeat sounds of the future!

Sat, July 10: A Postwar Drama @ 10 PM @ Caledonia
These guys have been on the list of bands I'm dying to see for quite a while now. Rumor has it, they're pretty rad.

Fri, July 16: James Husband @ 10 PM @ Caledonia
For a hint of the crazy you get from an Of Montreal show, make sure you're there for James Husband. Several of the members of the famed band rock this side project during their off-hours. Way cool!

Wed, July 21: Yo Soy Bean @ 10 PM @ Caledonia
I've definitely got good vibes about these guys. Enjoy!

Well, look at that! Next month is shaping up to be tons of fun. And don't forget: I'll be adding to this list as I hear of more awesome July shows, so keep checking back often! Also, if you've got a show you don't want anyone to miss that's not on the list, be sure to comment and let the world know all about it. Have a great one, you guys! Oh, and stay tuned for Athfest coverage like you won't believe starting this Thursday.
