The Belle Brigade Play the Satellite on Friday
I finally caught Grouplove this Friday at the Satellite. A lot of catchy tunes, but a little schizophrenic. I'm sure they'll continue to do well though. This week's kinda weak (although there are two shows I'd like to see on Friday). The Greek and Bowl are finally starting to heat up, but Adele had to cancel her shows at the Greek and Palladium...
