Antlers with Little Scream @ Paradise Rock Club

Pearl and the Beard with Chris Bathgate @ TT the bears
$9
I just saw Pearl and the Beard a month ago but I'm picking this over Antlers because I am infatuated with Chris Bathgate's latest album Salt Year, it's a must listen. Important note: Bathgate is currently not listed on TT's website but his own website says he'll be playing at 8pm and 11pm. I don't know what to believe.

Givers and Pepper Rabbit @ Middle East Downstairs
$12/ doors at 8pm
MP3: Givers - Up, Up, Up
This is the hardest decision you'll have to make all week. Four great bands spread out between two shows, how do you choose? I've seen Pepper Rabbit three times but I don't mind seeing them again especially because the debut Givers' album sounds like summer. But on the other hand (and right next door) you have two bands that make for a perfect Sunday night line up.
Nice city, a lot of culture, good food, friendly people. I loved Helsinki. It's in the center but the street is not noisy so you can have a comfortable rest. Hope you updated this blog for the whole month.
