Touch(e)-Ups: Saturday / Monday

I don't really follow the pun in the title of that last post by Henry, but I'll take the handoff and run with it anyway to fill in some gaps in the coming days.

Saturday promises a welcome return of the sunshine, and should bring just the weather to get you in the mood for a dirty helping of retrofied rock n roll. Chicago-based Athens will serve it up all hot and steamy tomorrow night at Garfield Artworks. Check out their single "Big Old Fat Old Man" below.

And after the weekend's behind us, Monday holds an awesome lineup at Mr. Small's, with Deerhunter, Dan Deacon and No Age all sharing the bill in what they're calling a "round robin performance." Any of those three would be worth seeing solo, so what's not to love about this triple-bill? Here's Deerhunter a month ago finishing up their Aussie tour with "Twilight at Carbon Lake":

This really isn't 3 bands performing separate. Various members will perform 1 set. There are 3 other bands before the "big 3" even go on.
