The Peach State, Paris, and Do Make Say Think

Canadian (mostly) instrumental post-rock outfit Do Make Say Think are headed to Georgia next week, and I've been informed it's a show I am not permitted to miss. Never seen them live myself, but I was told that they won the night a while back when they shared the stage with Broken Social Scene in Atlanta. Of course opinions are like pieholes and all, but that seems one heck of a compliment. The Dixie leg of the tour:

9/18 Carrboro Arts Center, Carrboro, NC
9/19 Grey Eagle, Asheville, NC
9/20 Tremont Music Hall, Charlotte, NC
9/21 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA
9/22 The EARL, Atlanta, GA
9/23 Jack Rabbits, Jacksonville, FL
9/24 The Social, Orlando, FL
9/25 Common Grounds, Gainesville, FL
9/26 Club Downunder, Tallahassee, FL
9/27 Chelsea's Cafe, Baton Rouge, LA

The full set of tour dates is available at Southern Records.
