Our friends over at We Listen For You are putting on a glorious show at the MILK Bar in the Haight with dance-rockers The Pass and swing-folk group Marvelous Toy at 9pm tonight. As a fan of the super-fun Marvelous Toy, I can safely say that not only is this an unusual line-up, it’s also a well balanced combo of fly-by-wire folk-punk and dance inducing electro-rock. Only $5, so be there and have a good time.

However if you’re looking for me (creepy) I’ll be at the Ólafur Arnalds show at the Great American Music Hall tonight. Touring in support of my favorite instrumental album of 2010, …And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness, Ólafur will bring the entire GAMH to tears with his deeply emotional instrumentation and epically dense arrangements…but in a good way.
