Saintseneca, Gordon, Red City Radio tonight; the future of American football (in the column)…
by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com
Your weekend starts off tonight with three awesome shows.
Columbus Ohio’s Saintseneca headlines tonight at Slowdown Jr. The band has a classic indie rock sound that’s been compared to Neutral Milk Hotel. They recorded their latest record, Dark Arc (ANTI-) with Mike Mogis at ARC. Openers are Pennsylvania’s Vikesh Kapoor (Mama Bird Recordings) and our very own Dim Light. $8, 9 p.m.
Check out some Saintseneca below:
Meanwhile, at fabulous O’Leaver’s, it’s the return of Gordon. Opening is The New Trust (members of the Velvet Teen) and Those Far out Arrows. $5, 9:30pm.
Finally, over at the legendary Brothers Lounge, Hear Nebraska is hosting a show with one of Andy Norman’s favorite bands, Red City Radio. The Oklahoma City band is on the road supporting their brand-new full length, Titles (Paper + Plastick Records). The Ridgeways open. $5, 9 p.m.
Also tonight, All Young Girls Are Machine Guns plays at The Waiting Room with Field Club and the Benson Soul Society. $7, 9 p.m.

In this week’s column, I ask why any sane parent would let their kids play football considering its crippling effects. You can read it in this week’s issue of The Reader or online right here.

Thanks for pointing out that RCR’s one of my favorite bands, Tim. You’re on the spot! You should come out for a Rolling Rock.
