Blind Pilot enjoy the simple things.

Saturday

Peter Bjorn and John are coming to the 9:30 Club this Saturday. They’ll be playing their unique replication of 60’s baroque pop and new wave. They’re still touring off of their 2009 release Living Thing, and that’s a damn good thing. Make sure to check these guys out if you have a chance. Tickets cost $25 and doors will open at 8:00 p.m.

Sunday

Train and Uncle Kracker are coming to town. Uncle Kracker just pulled a Hanson, kids. I mean, he never really left, but he was definitely forgotten. With September’s release of his fourth studio album, Happy Hour, he’s trying to get back in the game. And maybe that’s not such a bad thing. He’s got some new grooves that are unmistakably… groove-able. Train has just released their fifth studio album, Save Me San Francisco, this October. Come see each bands’ reinvented selves this Sunday at the 9:30 Club; tickets cost $35.

Amy Millan of the indie rock outfit Stars has a little side project going. She puts together music that is somewhere in between pop and country, but without fitting into either category too snuggly. With contributions by Stars and Broken Social Scene, she’s definitely got that Canadian indie thing going too. Luckily, there seems no one better suited to perform that sound that Millan. You can check her out at the DC9 this Sunday. Tickets will cost $12 in advance, $14 at the door.

Wednesday

Blind Pilot has an interesting way of touring. Having embarked on two West Coast bike tours, they simply back up and go, getting the chance to play shows in cities that tours would generally pass by. Israel Nebeker and Ryan Dobrowski play some relaxing and calming acoustic indie that would be well suited for a Wednesday night, say … at the Black Cat. Tickets cost $15.
