Vampire Weekend

There’s a feeling of betrayal when a bad cover comes on the radio. The recognition of “I love this song!” will often deteriorate into “Why would anyone ruin it?” after about thirty seconds.

Saturday, January 26 — Get Him Eat Him, a self-promoting indie rock band from Providence, Rhode Island, just finished its fourth national tour, which included dates with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Arcade Fire, and The Walkmen. With their catchy guitar, synth-speak, and a lead singer who can actually sing, this concert will probably play more like a dance party. Southpaw at 9, tickets are $12 at the door.
