We weren't able to get this into yesterday's paper, but if you're looking for some late Barack Obama boosterism or if you're a McCainiac with a sweet spot for tender, upswelling indie-rock sound fields or urban-folk rusticism, this Sunday Wye Oak and Caleb Stine and the Brakemen have put together an Obama fundraiser at the Metro Gallery.
According to Wye Oak's Andy Stack, the idea came after seeing a defaced Obama poster in Hampden. "It got us talking about the meanspiritedness which has filled this campaign season, and also about how important the upcoming election really is," he writes in an e-mail. (You can find quite a bit more elaboration in this interview with local music blog Aural States.) Show is at 9 p.m. Donations at door.
