Concert Listings Roundup #93

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:

Hooded Fang (New Fries / Brazilian Money) / Johnny Jackson 2015-04-25 (Saturday) [FB event]

There's some great options on Saturday, but I'm looking forward to catching Hooded Fang for the first time since the other side of winter. All those brand-new tunes they played will have some mileage on 'em by now and this should be a first class party time. Also: New Fries!
