Assuming you didn’t get tickets to tonight’s sold out Arctic Monkeys concert at the Granada (or even if you did), swing by Good Records at 7 p.m. to see a special acoustic performance by the pAper chAse. Yeah, I know, the words “special acoustic performance” are enough to send most people into convulsions, but no band transforms as amazingly as these guys–maybe it’s the additional cello, or singer John Congleton’s much-improved voice. Could even be that unbelievable songwriting sense, whose maturation is most evident in Now You Are One of Us, the album that sees release in stores today and a feature article in the Dallas Observer tomorrow. Whatever it is, these guys have found new life in their semi-rare acoustic shows; free midweek gigs don’t come more can’t-miss than this. –Sam Machkovech
