You needn't be a Paste-reading, KCRW-streaming, MP3-hoarding indie connoisseur to know about The National. The band's song "Fake Empire" became a kind of alternative anthem during last year's election cycle, providing a soundtrack for many a hope-spewing Obama montage on network TV and throughout the blogosphere. Regardless of political affiliation, expect fans to gobble up tickets for the Brooklyn-based group's second May 24 show at 9:30 Club faster than you can say, "Red Hook is the new Williamsburg."
