******** and Friends Rock Out for Twelve Straight Hours
Toronto punk rockers Fucked Up are near and dear to our hearts for forcing the New York Times to write around their name in a concert review (the Times, perhaps excessively, went with "********"). They'll be playing live for twelve straight hours at a Lower East Side storefront on Tuesday, and the list of potential special guests veers from the likely (Vivian Girls, Matt Sweeney) to the wildly ambitious (Mobb Deep, Akon, the Edge).
