This week on Teenage Kicks, we celebrate The Suburbs, who will be hosting a pair of gigs they’ve called the “Turf Takeover” next Friday, Nov. 28, and Saturday, Nov. 29, at the Turf Club in St. Paul.

We’ll also celebrate Tina Weymouth’s birthday, as the longtime member of Talking Heads and co-founder (with her husband Chris Frantz) of the Tom Tom Club marks a milestone this year.

And we’ll hear a set of songs that all feature the vibraphone — an underutilized instrument in rock and alternative music. All this and more on this week’s Teenage Kicks. Listen using the audio player above.
