There are a few good shows this weekend. I have a dilemma trying to decide who to see.

Friday night Liam Finn (myspace and yes, related to some guy) is playing at the Bottom of the Hill. Originally the bill was supposed to also have Pela (myspace) on it as well but there was an accident involving falling hand-first onto a pint glass. I was excited to see Pela, but I’ve been enjoying Finn’s I’ll be Lightning and he had an intense performance on Letterman (below) so I think it’ll be a good show nevertheless.

Also on Friday is a solid local bill at the Independent with the Heavenly States, Citay and the Botticellis. For the Heavenly States, it’s their CD release show (for Delayer). I’ve been listening to that CD and I’ve been enjoying their flavor of upbeat indie rock. I’ve also seen the Botticellis before and they were good.

Finally, on Saturday you can see Mount Eerie
and AF Jamison at a school auditorium. The All-ages Movement Project and Club Sandwich present the show. (I’ve only had good experiences with the Club Sandwich shows). It at Enola Maxwell High School Auditorium
655 De Haro (in Portrero Hill). Tickets on a sliding scale starting at $7 (and you can buy tickets online).

Last year’s Mt Eerie show was one of my favorites of 2007, so I’m pretty excited about this one. Before that show, my first Mt. Eerie/ Microphones show, I didn’t really understand those bands’ recordings, but now they makes more sense.

Also, K Records is reissuing the Glow, pt 2 with a ridiculous number of bonus tracks on April 8. P4k has a good one for listening.
