So who is backing Daniel Johnston tonight at The Slowdown? The mystery was solved last week when Kyle Harvey e-mailed me to say that Daniel’s backing band would once again be The Rayguns — Mike Friedman, Reagan Roeder, Scott “Zip” Zimmerman and Mr. Harvey himself. Those of you who missed Daniel’s last Omaha performance (back in February 2008) can catch up on it with this review. Opening tonight’s show is Hubble (Roeder’s and Friedman’s latest project) and Darren Keen (of The Show Is the Rainbow fame). Tickets are $18 and the show starts at 9.

Also tonight, indie dance pop band Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (or simply SSLYBY) is playing at The Waiting Room with Joe Firstman and Brian Wright. $8, 9 p.m.
