Well I am surprised to see Sum 41 and Offspring concert at Roseland Ballroom left off, btw, amazing concert...

Yes, what an alarming shock that Sum41 and The Offspring weren't mentioned on an indie music blog.

If you are remotely interested in The Church, go see them. Great set list and they still can play. Having Franklin as an opener is gilding the lily.

Some good photos here:
