Girls - $12 with Magic Kids and The Smith Westerns
Doors @ 8:00pm
San Francisco's Girls blasted into the blogosphere earlier this year with the well received release of their debut record Album. Since the release, the band's music (a straightforward yet jangly blend of garage pop and shoegaze) has succeeded in overshadowing the infamous background and indie lore surrounding them: front man and chief songwriter Christopher Owens' childhood in the Children of God cult, the story that the band wrote and recorded their entire debut under the influence of a myriad of various pills, and the release of the X-rated version of the video for their single Lust for Life.

February 10 AT THE NOTE:
Lucero - $15 with Glossary
Doors @ 7:30pm
Playing between 150-200 live shows a year, Lucero has come to be known as much for their hard-touring work ethic as for their critically acclaimed records that capture the raw country/rock/punk music the band is known for. In addition to his work with the band, lead singer Ben Nichols also released a solo record in early 2009 and co-stars in MTV’s $5 Cover, a series about the Memphis music scene.
