Bright Eyes and Decemberists Hitting Town, Dueling Shows

Looks like November is shaping up to be a pretty big month of shows in DC. We already have The Thermals, Rogue Wave, Morrissey, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and The Hold Steady, and today brings news of five new shows.

First, Brooklyn Vegan is reporting that Bright Eyes is going out on a huge tour this fall which will bring him to D.C.'s Constitution Hall on Sunday, November 11th. Count me in.No word on when tickets go on sale yet. Odds are good there will be a presale here, though.

Second, The Decemberists are playing FOUR shows at the 9:30 Club, from Friday, November 9th through Monday, November 12th. Also according to Brooklyn Vegan, two shows (Friday and Sunday) will be entitled "The Long of It", where the band will play its longer, more proggy songs, and the other two shows (Saturday and Monday) will be entitled "The Short of It", where the band will play, of course, its shorter songs. There's a presale tomorrow, and general onsale is September 7th.

There goes the rest of my music budget for the month. :^)
