Big shots
London-based, indie rockers The Vaccines blew up the music scene in the UK, and the hype is making its way stateside where the quartet has been added to festival line-ups at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and The Governors Ball. The band’s updated punk rock begs comparison to The Strokes, awakes nostalgia for The Ramones, and has put the Brits in the running for loads of Best New awards over the past two years. Wednesday 6/12 $16-18, 8pm. The Jefferson Theater, Downtown Mall. 245-4980.
