Planning Ahead: Ticket Linkage

2013 is really starting to ramp up now. Last night Purity Ring was in town, Cat Power will be here this weekend and that's just a teensy, tiny preview of what's in store for us this year. It'll be SXSW before you know it so you better get out there and enjoy our venues before they are plastered with Cool Ranch Doritos Tacos banners. In other words, it's time for me to post a super labor-intensive but super simple looking series of links highlighting shows you should get tickets for before they're sold-out. As usual, I want to mention that there are shows I'll be mentioning/linking to that I wouldn't, necessarily, attend myself but I feel like some of you would want to know about these shows. Also, this site is not sponsored by any of these venues but I'm not opposed if they'd like to kick me some cash, call me. Let's start with this Saturday's Cat Power show at ACL Live. I can't believe this show isn't sold-out yet?!?! Her last record, Sun is SO. FUCKING. GOOD.

Alright, so basically the way this is going to work is I'm going to straight-up list shows coming up. If you want tickets to the show click the name of the artist and the ticket link will appear in a new window. In the past, I've also linked to the venue itself but fuck that noise, it's called Google.
