British Sea Power: Make that $120.

I'm thrilled to hear that in support of their new album, Do You Like Rock Music? British Sea Power are expanding their tour and coming to Nashville this May.  While that's wonderful news unto itself, they'll be playing the last leg of the tour with The Rosebuds, a fantastic duo out of my hometown, Raleigh.  Their last album, 2007's Night of the Furies, cranked up the synthesizers and drum machines on their previously airily etched music, churning out a fantastic record with both passion and playfulness.  It's sure to be a killer combination of bands, so at around $15 for a ticket, I'll be adding that to my tab for the spring.  God, being a music lover gets expensive.
