Quite a nice lineup at the Stones Throw on Saturday. According to local music blog Peer Validated, Small Cities “sound like David Bazan and Low blowing apart your hollow construct of reality.” Laarks is a band that features current and former members of Amateur Love, Land of Talk, Echo Bravo, The Soft Rocks, Laughing Bell, and Sic Transit Gloria. Wars of 1812 (pictured) will be filling for O' Israel. Wars’ latest album can be described as “one part Wilco, one part Spoon, and one part harsh Wisconsin weather all combined to produce a warm winter quilt of a record, with a cool tint of alt-country twang beneath its warm, drawn-out pop melodies.” The show is only 3 bucks and it starts at 10pm.

Also on Saturday: Winter Farmer's Market, Clothing Event Sale, Constellations, Myths, and Legends, Santa Claus in Chippewa Falls, Chippewa Valley Symphony: Christmas Pops!, Cook-Rutledge Mansion Christmas Tour, Crush/Predator Flag Football Event, Crazy Keys Dueling Pianos, Ballroom, Latin and Swing Dance, Chippewa Valley Symphony Holiday Concert, Danville and Friends, Final 2008 Waterfront Show: Fat Maw Rooney, Mors Mortis Machinatio, Tommy Bentz Band.
