The Good Life just put out the Album Of The Year. No seriously, that's the name of the album. The question is, why don't you have it already?

Longtime Omaha musician Tim Kasher wrote twelve songs, one for each month, detailing a broken relationship (or two) in a yearlong confessional of sorts. Following on the heels of this spring's Lovers Need Lawyers EP, 'Album Of The Year' adds a dozen fresh chapters to Kasher's already exceptional book of songs. Check it out for yourself at the Black Cat Tuesday night. If you're a fan of Kasher's other band Cursive and you're afraid that The Good Life won't pack enough rock into the show, don't fret. They're not afraid to turn up the scream.

Neva Dinova have been compared to megabands Radiohead and Coldplay. While they sport three guitars like Radiohead and lead-singer Jake Bellows sounds frighteningly similar to Chris Martin at times, I wouldn't stretch those comparisons too far. They have a modestly poetic sound that combines the atmospheric with the traditional.

Bellows is an all-around entertainer on stage. He'll make you laugh with his stories while breaking your heart with his songs. Expect to hear at least two songs from the Neva Dinova/Bright Eyes split EP One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels' and a number of tracks from their new LP which is only available at shows until its official release in January.

Get to the Cat early to check out Ryan Fox of The Good Life and Matt Baum of Desaparecidos as the 1989 Cubs who seem to have dropped the Chicago from their name. And look out for a Neil Young cover somewhere towards the end of the show.
