Besides sharing the bill with the prolific Detroit power pop rocker, Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow also will be half of Benson's backing band, making for a lineup that should trump The Raconteurs, Benson's other 'project.' Here they are tackling Big Star's "September Gurls" in tribute to the late Alex Chilton:
Those who are there purely for nostalgia be warned... The Posies are going to be relying heavily on their latest album, Blood/Candy (review). It's their best since Frosting on the Beater, though, so you should get yourself familiar with it if you're indeed a fan.
Hopefully, I'll have some photos to share early next week, if I haven't exploded with power pop glee.
*Aqueduct is opening the bill.
