Becky and I went to see Charlemagne last night at Schubas to support the Madison music scene. Apparently he got a good writeup in the Chicago Reader, which is a pretty big deal. I liked openers Oh Yeah a lot, they sounded like a more synth-y Menomena, and they ended with a hi-larious cover of Britney's "Toxic," which everyone must admit is an awesome song. Then was the Rutabega, from South Bend, and finally Charlemagne. I HATE that the girls in the band knit on stage when they aren't playing instruments. HATE IT. Why? Why I ask you?

Tonight: The Curiosa Festival w/ the Cure, Interpol, Rapture, and Mogwai!!!
