Yo La Tengo this Saturday and Sunday @ Cat's Cradle

One of few bands stand in the same category as Yo La Tengo. Known and adored for their cloudy musical adventures through love, death, and all other emotion boiling events, they have been praised by critics and risen to cult status by adoring fans. Since their formation in 1982 in New Jersey, Yo La Tengo (spanish for "I have it" or I got her") has sat comfortably in that imaginary roped off lounge with bands like Sonic Youth and Luna. Be sure to catch at least one night of their two nights at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro this coming Saturday and Sunday. I suggest giving their 2006 release I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass a listen if you have time.
