Concert Listings Roundup #296

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:

Teenanger (WLMRT / Perfect Blue) / The Boat 2019-04-04 (Thursday) [FB event]

Good night for rock'n'roll on Thursday, with Odonis Odonis also celebrating a new EP. But there's something compelling about seeing some scrappy bands in a scrappy room to give one's spirit a springtime boost.
