Spring has officially sprung, and as the weather warms it becomes easier to conceive the idea of putting on your best and heading to a show. Let's face it, most places don't have a coat check, and as the sweating commences in those first few rows of people it starts to get really irritating to lug around that extra fabric that served you well in the cold. So get ready to bust out some shorts for these upcoming tour dates: The Kills, Lupe Fiasco, Death Cab for Cutie, A Perfect Circle, Crystal Stilts and My Morning Jacket. On a charitable note, one dollar from each My Morning Jacket ticket will be donated to a local charity, so even if you're hard-pressed for cash, feel good that your money spent on seeing good music will also benefit someone . . . somewhere.
