With brilliant luck and sometimes a bright idea.

You know how I keep blogging about that small band A Great Big Pile of Leaves? How, yeah, the drummer Tyler is my friend, but I also love his band's music? How stellar their newest album is?? How amazing they are live? How, I may or may not have tagged one of my posts, "trust me you'll want to know who AGBPOL is very soon"?

Today, a fall tour was announced.

  8. I really wish they would come to Hartford, Connecticut.

    I'm gonna have to try to go to New York or Boston (haven't been to either since I was a little kid).

    I HAVE to see this. Four amazing bands. I NEED to go.

  9. You've got me hooked on AGBOL and I was so stoked to hear MCS is taking them out, but I'm going to the Omaha show and Valencia is opening that show. I'm heartbroken :(
