Win tickets to see Yo La Tengo at The Rio on SantaCruz.com
In 1990, alternative rock band Yo La Tengo released Fakebook, an album of cover songs by artists including Cat Stevens, the Flamin’ Groovies, and Gene Clark. Earlier this year, they circled back around to the concept with Stuff Like That There, an album of cover songs, “covers” of their own songs, and a few new tunes. This time around, they take on the Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love,” Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” the Lovin Spoonful’s “Butchie’s Tune” and more on what is a perfect lazy afternoon listen. In support of the album, Yo La Tengo is on the road performing acoustic versions of the songs. On Nov. 15, they hit Santa Cruz.
INFO: 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $21. 423-8209.
