Hey, remember when Gemma Hayes made one of my favorite albums of the new millennium? She's playing at Slim's on the 27th, but apparently it's a secret--you won't find tour dates on her site. No wait, it's not a secret, it's just bad management. Anyway, I'm so going.

(She's opening for Athlete, on whose site the dates can be found, buried in Flash.)
