May or May Not Practice Space Residency @ Schubas
Local indie-pop group May Or May Not celebrates the release of its sophomore full-length, A Kaleidoscope Of Egos, with a month-long residency at Schubas. The band promises to pull out all the stops during these shows, while previewing material from Egos -- which runs the gamut from New Pornographers-inspired indie-rock to the psychedelic pop of Panda Bear's Person Pitch. Eagle Seagull and Solid Gold open the show. $6. 9pm.
