Hey Music Junkies!

We are back on the calendar beat, and let me tell you, this week the Bay is LOADED. Seven days, 35 venues, 80+ shows! From sludge-metal legends holding court at the Fillmore to alt-rock royalty in a gorgeous old movie venue, plus a full slate of weeknight gigs for those of us who don’t wait for the weekend.
