Friday night I caught a fabulous lineup of local pop bands strutting their stuff as well as some covers in front of a rowdy crowd at the Sunset. A personal highlight: hearing Dept of Energy cover "Unsalted Butter" by the Long Winters. Positively dreamy!

And while I wasn't lucky enough to get tickets for the Saturday night by the National show at Neumos, I did walk by and eavesdrop for a few minutes, and they sound absolutely incredible.

How about all of you? Anyone see a good show this weekend? Anyone see a shitty one? Tell us all about it…
