Swervedriver to Pop Fest, The Muslims, Amazing Baby & Vivian Girls too

Brooklyn Vegan's Bill Pearis, just wrote a damn good article detailing some amazing events coming up that you should read. Of which, I'm super excited for The Muslim's NYC invasion this coming weekend/week.

**At the bottom of this post, I've included the bands mentioned in the article and their respective tour dates. All of which you need to know about, in order to be any sort of respectable person. You just do, ok.

" Brooklyn Vegan approached me about writing an indie rock column because I "repeatedly go to see The Young Knives and are excited about Versus reuniting." Which is to say I like unpopular bands and am, like, James Murphy old. This will likely take on more shape as the weeks go on, but for now here's a bunch of notable shows happening over the next five days. "
