Just placed online, an interview with The Go! Team mad scientist Ian Parton (read it here). Ian talks about the band’s short ride to the top… in Europe, their relative obscurity in the states, their stage show (festivals vs. Sokol Underground), and working on their new album. It’s all there in the story, except for his comments about Omaha (“I don’t know…. It’s the Midwest, middle of the country, I imagine it being flat and rural.”). The show is next Monday night with Eagle*Seagull and could be a good one if anyone shows up. Looking at some of their live footage on YouTube, they like to turn their shows into dance parties. Good luck with that one, folks.

A couple shows worth mentioning going on tonight: Denton, Texas nerd folkie rockers Fishboy are playing at O’Leaver’s with local talent Bill Latham. 9:30 p.m., $5. Down at Sokol Underground Sarah Benck and the Robbers play with Anonymous American and Zack Hexum (brother of 311’s Nick). $8, 9 p.m.
