Above: Oh You're So Awesome Jens

It's been a while since we last updated you on all the tickets you can buy right here at Decatur CD for myriad shows around Atlanta, and we apologize. The thing is, things get hectic, releases pile up, other weird things happen and we found ourselves blogging about all kinds of other nonsense. Good nonsense, of course. At any rate, Ticket Alternative, as per usual, is bringing tons of good stuff to town via The EARL, Drunken Unicorn, The Loft, Andrew's Upstairs, Vinyl and much more. What kind of good stuff? Why, let us enlighten you, asterisk stylee:

* Recent store favorite Jens Lekman will perform at Drunken Unicorn on Nov. 16th. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. His latest, Night Falls Over Kortedala (coming October 9th - save $2 with a pre-order now!), is easily one of the finest records of the year.

* Fantastic local group, Silver Lakes, will play The EARL on Sept. 29th. Their self-titled album is one of our favorites from any modern Atlanta band.

* Junior Brown is playing The Loft on Oct. 5th. The All Music Guide speaks highly of Brown's "often-stunning instrumental work," which combines "Western swing, honky tonk, and electrified Bakersfield country."

And that's just a few of the many upcoming shows, folks. Other TA gigs include The Pipettes, The Black Angels, Final Fantasy, Great Lake Swimmers, The Brunettes, White Rabbits, Caribou, The Donnas and many more. Don't forget: You can buy tickets to any of these shows right here at Decatur CD. Take a look at Ticket Alternative's latest "featured events" newsletter, and we'll see you soon.
