Concert calendar

Lots of shows are shaping up, and doesn't look like all of them will set you back $200 per ticket (*cough* The Police at Sleep Train *cough*). For starters, looks like indie-rock faves Death Cab for Cutie is performing on April 22 at UC Davis' Freeborn Hall. This show comes exactly one day after Tegan & Sara, those other indie faves, perform at Freeborn. Or maybe they could just combine these shows and call it "Tegan's Death Cab for That Cutie Sara." ... on the complete other side of the rock dial, as in the place where the guitars go "chunk-a chunk-a" and shirtless dudes like to slam against each other in the mosh pit, the "Rockstar Energy Festival" is slated to go down July 11 at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre. Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce, Sevendust, Mastodon and Machine Head are just a few bands on the bill. Energy drinks + metal = hours of taurine-induced family entertainment. Stay tuned for ticket information on both the "Rockstar Energy Festival" and Death Cab for Cutie gigs.
