If you’re looking for a charitable alternative to your customary Groundhog Day festivities this Friday, the Steam Whistle Brewing Company will be home to

It seems to be the week of Alexisonfire, who are playing just about every venue in the city over the next 7 days, starting on Thursday. We predict a few bruised ribs and black eyes just in time for Christmas…so kids, if you’re going to the show(s), be a little gentler to each other knowing [...]

Another busy week in the city. Ridiculously busy. Once again, there’s something decent to check out every night. We’ll be hitting The Decemberists, Imogen Heap, Shout Out Out Out Out (out out out), and possibly a few more. Perhaps even Skid Row (minus Bach). What?!

There is no question that veteran leadership is at a minimum this year, however, if the preseason [...]

Frank Yang. Is there anything you can say about the guy that hasn’t already been said? Well, how about this: He does a damn fine weekly gig guide. Let’s see if we can pick up where he usually picks up… Thursday September 15: At Lee’s 13 & God might turn into a more Notwist crowd, [...]
