There is no reason for you to not have a good time tonight, with some of our favorite acts of the festival performing. In fact, you can catch two of the bands that played at an Agit Reader show in Columbus last month: first with Cloud Nothings at Cheer Up Charlie’s then by walking up the street to the Longbranch Inn for Darlings, another of our Rated Rookies. You’ll probably want to get to Cheer Up Charlie’s early enough to see the Fungi Girls, unless you are going to the Strange Boys’ only gig this week. Also playing tonight are the Mantles, who we told you about in October.
