<strong>Thursday at <a href="http://www.cainsballroom.com/">Cain's Ballroom</a>: Taddy Porter</strong>. Taddy Porter could very easily be the next band from Oklahoma to make a major national impact. For that matter, it could easily be Vandevander too, whose song “1000” was recently used on a promo for HBO’s “Weeds.” Basically, you need to be at this show. <em>Especially</em> if you’re a fan of, say, The Black Keys, or other blues-influenced rockers.

<strong>Saturday at <a href="http://www.thesoundpony.com/">Soundpony</a>: Native Lights/Depth & Current </strong>
Full Disclosure: I documented Native Lights as they recorded their debut album in an abandoned old cattle auction-house/cowboy-church in Hominy, OK. Even though I was there to witness first hand the (amazing) process, I feel I can objectively say that it's going to be not only the most ambitious album to come out of Oklahoma, but it may be one of the greatest albums you’ll hear in 2011. You can get a preview at Soundpony Saturday night, since they'll play their forthcoming album in its entirety. (The equally awesome Depth & Current open. Don’t miss this chance to see a great band from one of our neighbors down the turnpike).
