After hanging onto the coat tails of Bon Iver for the better part of 2009, The Tallest Man On Earth is coming back to the states, this time as a headliner. His live show as well as recordings have been garnering incredible reviews including an 8.3 rating by Pitchfork for his 2008 debut "Shallow Grave." The intimate setting of The Monkey House in Winooski will surely add a special element to this truly unique performance. Support comes from Dead Oceans teamates' NURSES out of Portland, OR.

I thought kids from Berkeley were all a bunch of crunchy hippies that only played 30 minute songs about purple skies and weeping trees? Well, I guess not as proof lies in indie rockers The Morning Benders. This group of young lads decided to take the more structured song writing route and the result is a cluster of brilliant guitar, drum, bass, and keyboard driven rock 'n roll tunes. Support comes from Brooklyn rockers Miniature Tigers.
