The Gaslight Anthem - What an Awesome new band

[Shallow]

Damn it, I'm going to Coachella on Friday and these guys will be there Sunday.  One of my friends might have free tickets for Sun, hopefully I'll get to check them out.  That's the closest venue they are playing from Los Angeles. 

Can't believe they aren't playing LA. I didn't even notice that. This band is built for a place like the Roxy. Festivals are cool experiences but the best way to see these guys is at a small club filled with their fans.

After the May 9th show they hit one more festival then jump of to Europe after a month's rest

I do know that the radio station here in Toronto said they'd be back in the summer and at a bigger venue (not sure what venue that would be). That may mean that they are geared up for more US dates starting in August of September. I'm willing to bet they'll be in LA by autumn.

Yep, all the small venues here in L.A. are pretty dope.  I will definitely check them out.
