Friday, August 30th gives you a chance to succumb to the one-two punch of Mary Timony and Le Tigre at the Roxy in Boston.

Timony's latest album is "The Golden Dove", and there's not a skip-worthy track on it, to my ears. Halfway through the year and it sits squarely in my top 5 2002 discs. Her backing band is packed with multi-talented rock stars, and they wowed the crowd at 608 last month.

Le Tigre is one of those bands that I'm supposed to know, but don't yet. Their Boston shows have sold out quickly, and I've missed each one. It's time to change that. I was into Bikini Kill (Kathleen Hanna's seminal grrl-punk band) back in the day, so I'm psyched to see how her new stuff compares.

While I am loathe to pimp ticketmaster, I must, as it is the only way to get Roxy tix. They went on sale this past Saturday, and I'm sure they're well on their way to a sell-out. Get goin'.
