This October's Top Breakthroughs

1. Screamo-disco duo Foolish Ways will be playing with BrokeNCYDE and Millionaires at the Modesto Virtual next month. More details later.

2. While the members of Alameda alt-pop ensemble Finish Ticket are off at college, Live 105 has been playing their single "We'll Be Okay" in regular circulation (including on a SoundCheck with Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig as a guest), and their album is now sitting happily in the station's archives.

3. As you all know by now, The SHE's will be opening for Girls at the Fillmore.

4. Handshake's Evan Greenwald boldly decided to toss a demo onstage during Arcade Fire's recent stop in San Francisco. Singer/multi-instrumentalist Regine Chassagne looked more than happy to see it, and chances are the band will give it a good listen.

5. Local freakscene favorites Maus Haus and the Mumlers will be playing Treasure Island Music Festival.
