tonight at Black Cat: These United States

Tuesday is the release date for Everything Touches Everything, the third album from These United States in a year and a half. Tonight they celebrate with a show on the mainstage at Black Cat. Doors open at 9:00 and openers will be Junior League Band and Hoots & Hellmouth.

Also, if you missed the band's recent performance on WOXY.com, please make time for it now. It's pretty special because it was the radio station's last Lounge Act session in their Cincinnati studio at Longworth Hall before moving to their new home in Austin, Texas.
