I'm No "Momma's Boy"

What you need to know:

Chromeooooo Ooooo oh! Chromeo is playing tonight at the Ogden and it is a sold out show. If you don’t know Chromeo they’re the electro/pop/rock duo of Dave1 and P-Thug straight from Montreal. They’ve got their own funky style, which brings the beat combined with witty lyrics making them party starters. They will definitely get the dance floor bumping tonight.

All my Chicago friends, STS9 is coming to the windy city. If you were to ever take my advice please go. Tonight at the House of Blues the boys will be getting down. My guess is a show with some deep jams and ambient lighting. The Aragon on Saturday will be a show of heavy beats and younger faces. Both epic nights lead up lead up to a special evening of STS9 “Axe the Cables.” This is an acoustic show like those of “unplugged,” finishing their weekend at the Old Town School of Folk Music.

Yarmony Grass is a festival type event for the today through Sunday, located on the Upper Colorado River. This has an incredible lineup of Bluegrass, Rock, and Electronic artists who are all friends. Speaking of friends I remember how right around now was the time myself and my friends would be getting back to school and celebrating best we knew how. This was always highlighted by the back to school free concert on Ferrand Field. They have had great musicians the last few years including Blackalicious, Tea Leaf Green, Girl Talk, Savoy, and Pretty Lights. This year the duo of Chiddy Bang are bringing their act to CU. It is party music and will provide obvious wide-eyed freshman a brutal hello to college.

Everyone, enjoy the weekend, make the most of it, get out there and just do it like MJ.
