It’s not Christmas yet, but you’d certainly be excused for thinking otherwise, what with the radio already playing round-the-clock holiday tunes and the new shows we’ve been gifted with. Looks like somebody’s been on their best behavior (god knows it wasn’t us). Whatever the case, we’re now being rewarded with a new date from Morrissey at the Temple Buell and a bunch of other shows, including an early spring concert from Sigur Rós at 1STBANK Center, Divine Fits at the Bluebird, Bloc Party at the Ogden. Wait, there’s more. A lot more. Carrie Underwood at 1STBANK; Big Head Todd at the Fox; Churchill at the Ogden; the Used and the Darkness, both at the Summit. Page down for the full rundown.
