Return to the Greek Theater: Future Islands in Concert

 

On a whim, I saw that Future Islands -- a synth-heavy indie band I've enjoyed over the years -- was playing at the Greek on Sept. 1, the day after my birthday. What the hell, why not! I convinced Maria to come along, and we were treated to a fun, energetic show featuring the always energetic lead singer, Samuel T Herring. Some shots from our angle:

We've got a pair of tix to see the Go-Go's on July 24 at the Greek.

Yup, that's still a few months away... but the contest comes courtesy the Premiere Marquee Club. The promotion lets you create your own summer concert series at the Greek Theatre & Gibson Amphitheatre now through April 13th.

The PMC has three levels to choose from: silver (3-4 shows), gold (5-7 shows) or platinum (more than 8 shows).
