Live music picks for WEDNESDAY AUGUST 4 through TUESDAY AUGUST 10, 2010.

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 4 / ISMISM, NOISEDIVE & MORE / RANCHO RELAXO / 300 COLLEGE ST / $6 / 19+
The tradition of Rancho's PWYC Weds is temporarily put on hold this week for a special triple-header set from one-man-band Armen at the Bazaar, Montreal post-rock/electro-ambient quintet Ismism and East York's Noisedive (the alter-ego project of Arts & Crafts rockers Still Life Still). Doors at 9, bands at 10pm.

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 4 / STORY OF THE YEAR / MOD CLUB / 722 COLLEGE ST / $16.50 / ALL AGES
Story of the Year have come a long way since the release of their breakthrough debut album Page Avenue, releasing a trio of heavy hitting albums that, despite not receiving the commercial success of their debut, continue to satiate the appetite of their steadily devoted fanbase while simultaneously attracting new listeners. They're on the road in support of 2010's The Constant, their second Epitaph release and follow-up to The Black Swan. Houston post-hardcore/rock and roll quartet American Fangs will warm the crowd up.

CONTEST ALERT: Follow BlogTO on Facebook and twitter for your chance to win a pair of guestlist spots for tonight's show and copies of SOTY's two most recent albums (The Black Swan and The Constant ) on CD.

Japanese sludge/doom metal trio Boris and Chicago post-rock trio Russian Circles team up for a gig at Lee's on Monday, bringing two ambitious and experimental acts together for what's sure to be an eardrum shattering evening. While you're there, grab some swag from Russian Circles - they recently purchased their second new van in less than a week after their first replacement was destroyed along with a bunch of instruments and equipment. For those unable to attend but still interested in helping them out, they've set up a paypal account to accept donations online.

TUESDAY AUGUST 10 / INTERPOL / KOOL HAUS / 132 QUEENS QUAY E / $31.50 / ALL AGES
In advance of the release of their fourth full-length album (a self-titled effort), NYC post-punk revivalists Interpol have embarked on a brief North American tour before heading to Europe in September to support U2 on their seemingly never-ending 360 tour. Their new line-up (sans original bassist Carlos D) will play the Kool Haus on Tuesday, and surprisingly tickets for the gig are still available to purchase. Athens, GA psych-rock trio Twin Tigers are the lone opening act.
