Concert Listings Roundup #34

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:

The Two Koreas [10th-anniversary spectacular!] (Desk Metal / The Pow Wows) / The Piston 2014-03-06 (Thursday) [FB event]

"The Two Koreas still exist and persist, if only to make you feel old. On Thursday, March 6, 2014 we will celebrate a decade of dissonance—and the release of a new EP. And in a valiant attempt at recapturing our rapidly dissipating youth, we will perform three discrete, era-specific sets throughout the evening."
