ACL Fest Aftershows announced

Every year during ACL fest a few of the bands playing the festival decide to get together and schedule some one off shows around town. These ACL "aftershows" have been a highlight of the festival weekend to me. In past years I've seen such great shows as Built to Spill playing with The Decemberists at La Zona Rosa and I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness opening for Explosions In The Sky and Modest Mouse at Stubbs. Both shows were amazing experiences and a lot of fun. The list of this year's official aftershows has a few that sound really great. Here's the list.

9/13

• Gotan Project @ Stubbs (9pm)
• JJ Grey and Mofro @ The Parish (10pm)
• Spoon and Sound Team @ La Zona Rosa (9pm)
  

9/14

• Stephen Marley and Zap Marley @ Emo's (11pm)
• STS9 @ La Zona Rosa (10pm)
• Paolo Nutini and Peter, Bjorn, and John @ Stubbs (9:15pm)
• Robert Earl Keen @ The Parish (9pm)

9/15

• Rodrigo y Gabriela @ Antone's (10:30pm)
• Blonde Redhead and The National @ Emo's (9:30pm)
  
• Queens of the Stone Age and Dax Riggs @ La Zona Rosa (10pm)
• Heartless Bastards and White Denim @ The Parish (11pm)

9/16

• Common @ La Zona Rosa (9pm)
• White Stripes and Cold War Kids @ Stubbs (8pm)

9/17

• Yo La Tengo @ The Parish (8pm)

The Blonde Redhead/The National show is the one that catches my eye immediately. Of course The White Stripes/Cold War Kids, Queens of the Stone Age, and Spoon/Sound Team shows will all probably sell out really quickly, justifiably, so I'd jump on the tickets when they go on sale at Frontgatetickets this Saturday (July 28th).
