bright eyes tour

Bright Eyes has announced tour dates in support of Cassadaga, and if you want to see the show in the venue closest to the album's namesake, then you'll spend the evening of May 17 at Hard Rock Live in Orlando. I'm thrilled that Conor and Mike and the always-bored-looking keyboard player and all the rest. Check out Pitchforkmedia.com for the full tour.

There's also a stop at the Tampa Theatre on May 16. That venue is absolutely gorgeous. I caught the band there for the I'm Wide Awake It's Morning tour with Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter and Neva Dinova. The theatre opened in 1926, and the city of Tampa took it over in the '70s and restored the venue. It's definitely worth the trip just to see the theatre. And then there's the music. :)
