Shows coming up, fall 2015
There are people who like to go to concerts. You may be one of these people.
There are also people who just like to know that there are concerts. You might be one of those people if you're not the other kind of person.
Either way, here's another roundup of concerts that will be happening in the Capital Region during the next few months.
Starts the week of September 28, runs through the end of the year. This isn't a comprehensive list. If there's something not on here that you think should be mentioned -- please mention away.

Tuesday, October 13: The Seven Seas Tour 2015. Featuring Emancipator, Wax Tailor and YPPAH at Upstate Concert Hall
Downtempo-style DJ set. 7:00 PM Door | 8:00 PM Show $17 ahead / $22 day of sale
Also at Upstate Concert Hall, an electronic downtempo-style DJ set called the Seven Seas Tour 2015. Featuring Emancipator, Wax Tailor and YPPAH, the last of which I think is going to be awesome. If you're a Spotify listener and like chill electronic music of the Tycho/Bonobo style, I think this will be good for you.
