An Embarrassment of Riches, Not So Much With the Promotion, Though

I don't want to name names (it's the one named below) but there's at least one club in town that apparently is way too popular and profitable to bother with promoting its shows. And by "promote" I mean just announce--you know, send an e-mail to let somebody know you're hosting a well-regarded '80s icon like Mitch Easter. (I did get a last-minute notice from somebody in one of the opening bands, but too late for any meaningful coverage.)

So, yeah, Mitch Easter (the dB's, Let's Active, and producer for R.E.M., Suzanne Vega, Game Theory, and more) is playing at Patrick Sullivan's in the Old City tonight. If you're not already occupied with Tennessee Shines or Warband/Stinking Lizaveta, it should be worth the trouble. Econopop opens.
