This was the first week of March and I can imagine everyone in Indianapolis, myself included, is begging for warmer weather. There’s only so much we can take. Plus warmer weather means out door concerts! We love the murat but there’s nothing like partying at The Lawn or Verizon Wireless Music Center. Native Americans must have had a warm weather dance…if so lets all dance our hearts out this weekend. Anyway here’s what we talked about this week, check ‘em out if you missed it.

Concert Review: The Avett Brothers…Unbelievable.
Well, well, well…Indianapolis, I stand corrected. The show this past Sunday was not made up of screaming teenagers, but rather mature adults enjoying terrific tunes.

Chevelle Concert Review Murat Egyptian Room, Indianapolis, IN February 19th, 2010 Having been a die-hard fan for a greater part of the last decade, I would be kidding myself to pretend that I could write a totally unbiased review of my very first Chevelle concert.
