Concert Listings Roundup #317

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:

Dany Laj & The Looks (catl. / First Base / Secret Wars) / The Horseshoe Tavern 2019-09-06 (Friday) [FB event]

Even as someone who doesn't get out to nearly as many rock shows as I used to, the itch still sometimes hits, and this chance to catch up with some longtime faves should hit the spot quite nicely. Dany Laj, Jeanette Dowling and co. are celebrating the release of Everything New Is New Again, which comes complete with cub-tastic Archie-verse cover art and a lead single in both official languages. The mighty catl. are supporting and there'll be plenty more familiar faces on stage. I may even be tempted to get a beer and, dare I say it, be tempted to duly hoist it into the air.
