Decatur CD's Upcoming Show Guide - May

Above: Don't miss these crazy guys with Yeasayer at Lenny's on Saturday

Now, hold on just a second. Where did April go? There was Record Store Day, of course, but we hardly remember the rest of the month. It's all a blur! We certainly don't remember our monthly show guide here on Ye Olde DCD Blog, but perhaps that's because we didn't write it. Perhaps.

At any rate, May is upon us suddenly like some ferocious, unstoppable spring creature of doom (almost as unstoppable as this sentence), crawling and growling and, oh yeah, dropping a hot, steamy load of excellent shows right there at our feet. Ewww. Wait, yay! That's what we mean. Boy, this is getting out of hand. On with the shows:
