Future Islands Come to Observatory North Park - September 23

Future Islands have been steadily blowing up. In 2011, they played a sold out show at the Casbah, and then when "Seasons Change" came out, they really blew up. When they finally returned to San Diego, the show sold out super fast and was packed nuts to butts when they performed at The Irenic. I have to say I missed that show because we had a sold out Lake Street Dive show at The North Park Theatre, but the hit song ended up in numerous top tens, including taking the number one spot on Sirius' XMU countdown.

The band is returning to San Diego in September, with a 21+ show at the Observatory North Park on 9/23. The show doesn't go on sale until Monday, April 6, however if you have an American Express Card, you can buy tickets now. I'd pat myself on the back when this one sells out and tell you that I knew it would, but honestly, it is pretty obvious, it's just a matter of how fast that happens. Don't wait to grab tickets.

Jeff's Weekly Pick: Future Islands @ Tin Can Thursday May 20, 2010

Living in a large city means there are many choices when it come to watching live music. Never has this been more evident than the present, as new venues have opened in hopes of drawing a crowd by offering music as the main attraction. Banker's Hill is the place to be this Thursday when the Tin Can (after dropping the Ale House) is presenting a diverse line-up of touring musicians. Baltimore based synth-pop artists Future Islands caught my attention recently with their latest release on Thrill Jockey Records, In Evening Air. Led by frontman Samuel T. Herring, the album is chock full of catchy songs that make you want to hit the replay button. Their live performance is one not to be missed (from what I have read). How the group pulls it off in the tiny space should be interesting, to say the least. Pitchfork Media has described their music as "post-wave". All I know is that this group of musicians know what they are doing and that is good enough for me.
