Annuals and Manchester Orchestra play an all-ages show tonight at the Varsity Theater. Annuals are still going strong behind last year's Be He Me and yesterday released an digital-only 8 song EP of b-sides and covers titled Frehlen Mas. That means you're going to have to buy that bad boy either through iTunes or the Ace Fu website. For those of you who adored Be He Me can feel the same fluttering feelings as you listen to Frehlen Mas, as the EP has more than enough of the romantic, swirling psychedelic sound that we've all come to know and love.

Meanwhile, Manchester Orchestra are having quite the year, what with having put out I'm A Virgin Losing A Child earlier this summer and currently riding high on the Elbows track charts with their cover of "Brother" by...you guessed it. Frank Stallone. Er, I mean Annuals. Their cover of the Annuals' song is from the split 7" that is being sold on the tour, in which the touring mates covering each other's jams. For Manchestra Orchestra, it's the aforementioned "Brother". For Annuals, it's covering "Where Have You Been?". You can find both originals and the covers at the top of this post.

The show starts at 6 p.m. and tickets are ten dollars. Those can be bought either at the venue or here.
