Now online, a massive feature/interview with Tilly and the Wall. The Tilly crew talks about where they've been and where they're going, as well as their new album and their new musical direction (though they say there's nothing really different about O; I say otherwise). Read it here, or pick up a copy of this week's Reader, where it's the cover story. The piece was written in support of Tilly's official CD release show, which is happening at Sokol Auditorium Thursday Aug. 7. Tix are $13, get them now. Opening are New Zealand Sub Pop band The Ruby Suns and our very own Go Motion.

Tonight at The Waiting Room, legendary Omaha hardcore band Hercules is playing with Alphabet and Capgun Coup. I have heard from, well, a ton of people how amazing Hercules is. I'm told they prefer playing all-ages shows, which is why they haven't played a lot of gigs at the usual places around town. Here's a chance to check them out. $6, 9 p.m.
