Remember when you fell in love with a band, only to realize you just missed them at the Casbah or Soda Bar or the Troubadour or some other tiny venue? Well, it's happened to me more than once and part of creating this site was because I didn't want it to ever happen again. In this case, I'm really excited to tell you all about Pigpen Theatre Co., who are actually a theatre company, but who are embarking on a national tour as an indie-folk band, with critical accolades already showered upon them. The bummer is you probably haven't heard enough about them to be super excited, but the reality is that the group is kicking off their massive U.S. tour on Saturday, and they're playing the Casbah so early during the tour (next Thursday, to be exact) that if you don't take a chance, you might hear the buzz long after they've already played San Diego. That happened to me for Postal Service and it happened for Arcade Fire, and I'm not letting it happen for these guys. You shouldn't either. Check out their full press release after the jump, or just trust me and grab your tickets here.
