Sure, I've written a little about my love of The Get Up Kids before, but I've never actually got a chance to see them live. That's why I'm so happy to see them scheduled to hit The Clubhouse Music Venue in September.

More good news: Jessica Lea Mayfield, the young protege of Black Keys front man Dan Auerbach, who really impressed me opening for Annuals back in February, is coming through Rhythm Room again, this time headlining. Should be a great show.

Who else is coming through? Read on for full announcements and be sure to check out Mp3s from Mayfield and The Get Up Kids below.
