This week’s list of recommended shows is metal heavy, ranging from the melodic metal styling of Amanda Lepre, to the face-melting thrash of Iron Age and the rock infused Dixie Witch and Superheavygoatass. We also have some great touring roadshows coming through this week in Wilco and ZZ Top.
My pick of the week goes […]
There’s a little something for everyone in my recommendations this week. DAM and Devin the Dude are bringing the hip-hop, The Breeders, Wilco and Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin represent for indie rock, and last but certainly not least, Pong and Haunting Oboe Music provide local flavor. It’s a sonic buffet, y’all. Grab […]
