Now I've Heard Everything

September is the end of summer, the reopening of school and the beginning of the fall concert season.  The big event of the month is the new Brooklyn Indie Music Fest which is running from September 16 through 18.  It features many performers both familiar and new to me (see below) and everything is in one place, Littlefield.  The clubs have been recalcitrant in getting their full September schedules up, so expect additions to this calendar over the month.
