As previously reported in this space, the spaz-pop outfit the Feelies are reuniting for a few shows this summer, and one of those shows will take place on July 4. They're opening for Sonic Youth! At Battery Park! Which means that if you want to go to the show you should start lining up around midnight on June 30 or so. [Billboard]

The Feelies To Bring Their Crazy Rhythms Back This Summer


My post-Amanda-elimination sadness and the hairballs that Gawker Media's servers have been horking up since lunchtime almost resulted in this very important news slipping through today's news cycle: "After 15 years MIA, Bill Million has resurfaced and The Feelies have begun practicing together! Apparently they will play a few gigs in and around NJ over July 4 weekend, including a slot opening for Sonic Youth in Central Park!" Fun fact: After Million left the Jersey jangle-pop outfit in 1991, he went off to work at Walt Disney World. OK, that fact isn't as fun as the idea of attending this summer's shows, but still!

Latest by saturn: I saw Wake Ooloo at the Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge MA. They were amazing, but they cut their show off half-way through the set because the hipster* crowd wouldn't stop chatting and were ignoring the band. Vaguely related note: more »
