Why is this worthy of my time and money?: Conor Oberst's most recent effort under the name Bright Eyes ('Cassadaga') has been revered by fans, critics and Rockfeedback (who are a bit of both, which is what makes us great, right?) alike. With a yee-haw'in full band in tow, these shows offer a chance to catch the renownedly impassioned young fellow at what might well be his career peak, offering songs that will deal with everything from personal tragedy to the impending end of the world due to what he sees as Bush and co's attempt to utterly cock up the lives of every living thing on this planet. And if you're going to see him on Wednesday, bear in mind it's Independence Day, which should make for a particularly virulent rant. Rockfeedback will be in attendance, and have also scored some time to chat to Conor beforehand - expect the results online shortly afterwards.
