ATTN THIS WEEKEND: YOU ARE LIKE A KISS SHOW IN DETROIT THAT WE MUST ABSOLUTELY DRIVE TO.

Some weekends are better than others. And let us just say, dang. This is going to be a good one.

Friday
Magik Markers, Indian Jewelry, The Freed, Cop Warmth @ The Mink
On top of a solid line-up, this show has the distinction of being the debut performance of Will Freed’s (Graustark, Le Thargic, one thousand other bands) latest ( self-titled) project. We haven’t the foggiest what they’re going to sound like, but we can happily report that it features Jeff Williams on drums and Mlle Marie (Hearts of Animals) on organ and saxophone. Listen like thieves.

QUI, Dizzy Pilot, Rustler @ Walter's
If you haven’t gotten in on the Rustler train yet, it’s probably because it hasn’t even arrived at the station. With just a few shows under their belt (but yet already an EP), this trio of metal-ish instrumentalists enlists a darker take than Golden Axe’s slayer of the genre, but ends up scoring in a way that too is fun.

Wicked Poseur, Thousands, Black Black Gold, & Florida @ Super Happy Fun Land
Wicked Poseur’s shows have been hella good lately.

Saturday
Unusual Animals @ Diverseworks
Get our thoughts and all the info in the previous post.

Minus The Bear, The Helio Sequence, Tiny Vipers @ Numbers
We seem to remember Minus the Bear being good or something. We actually have no idea, but we’re sure some of you would like to go to this.

Sunday
Alarma! @ Dean's Credit Clothing
Cause if we didn’t mention this, April 5k would prolly call us out about it. Also, this band has one of those upside down exclamation points at the beginning of it's name, but our keyboard doesn't have that.

La Cacahouette, Antarctica Starts Here, Mansion @ The Proletariat
We freaking love outerspace. Also, La Cacahouette is from Buffalo and we want to go back there.
