Music from Finn Riggins and Baker this weekend!

Wow, have I got a lineup of shows for all you Granite Staters this weekend! I'm hitting the acai and green tea hard today because my weekend is going to be packed with amazing shows and I need my energy! Hope you all are facing that wonderful possibility as well!

I'm excited about two shows in particular tonight and tomorrow, not only because they are just great bands, but the ladies are represented in them, and damn well! Tonight, I'll be at The Barley House in Concord to see the Hailey, Idaho band, Finn Riggins (pictured above) at 9:00 p.m. These guys are great, with influences of Sonic Youth, Spoon, and even a little Talking Heads! Plus, singer Lisa Simpson (yes, that's her real name) vocals are like Kim Deal crossed with Debbie Harry with some wailing, Karen O swagger from The Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's. Just amazing.

Then, on Saturday, I'll be at The Shaskeen in Manchester to listen to Boston band, Baker at 9:00 p.m. These guys have a new album out called Bike Ride, and this will be their only New Hampshire stop, so don't miss it.
