Monday: Arguably one of the best acts to enter the music scene in years , post-punk-pop rockers Interpol come to the Fox Theater in Oakland, in support of self titled fourth album.  Always provocative, and always an amazing show, this event is one we wouldn't even consider missing.

Doors at 8PM  A few tickets are still available online at Ticketmaster/Another Planet.
