Concert Listings Roundup #124

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.

Gig of the week:

Dilly Dally (The Beverleys / Vallens) / The Horseshoe Tavern 2015-11-27 (Friday) [FB event]

Wow! What a tremendous fucking lineup, with three great rock bands sharing the bill. Expect a packed house for this night with two local Buzz bands celebrating their debut full-lengths — Dilly Dally's Sore and The Bevs' Brutal canonize some of the tracks that those in the know have been rocking out to for a while now.
