MGMT @ Meymandi Hall November 3rd , Indesicion & Waylandsphere @ The Pour House November 6th



I can't figure out if you pronounce MGMT as "management" or if I should just say the letters. Either way, Meymandi Concert Hall in Raleigh welcomes the Brooklyn juggernauts to the stage this Wednesday evening. Since 2007, MGMT has made a name for themselves all over the world working with acts like MIA and opening for Paul McCartney. Their second record, Oracular Spectacular, debuted at number 11 on Great Britain's pop charts, went on to earn a Grammy nomination and placed high on the "best" lists of many reputable music magazines. After hearing their latest release , Congratulations, it looks like MGMT's meteoric rise to fame has only begun.

Listen : Time to Pretend


Indecision can be categorized as a jam band in league at one time with Widespread Panic, but in my opinion they are so much more. They represent a time in the lives of many people when things were alright and being carefree was just as important as being careful is today. For some it was college or high school or maybe their late twenties. I fell in love with the song "She ain't no Betty" when I was 15. Their songs are reminiscent of a latter day Doobie Brothers and they can play the hell out of Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne". Catch them at The Pour House in Raleigh Thursday November 6th with Raleigh's own WaylandSphere featuring Katherine Roach on vocals.
