Music: Rock/Pop R.E.M. w/ Modest Mouse and the National

  • Rem_0_large

R.E.M.'s last outing, Around the Sun, was a critical and commercial flop, but their tenure as a "great American band" isn't up yet. Their newest (14th!) studio album, Accelerate, swerves in a totally different direction, returning to form with a stripped-down, ballsy attack with pop hooks to spare. Tonight, R.E.M. showcase the new songs produced by Jacknife Lee, who has worked with big guns U2 and Green Day. Opening for Michael Stipe and company are Modest Mouse, and another "great American band" in-the-making, the National.
