Show Of The Week

There are quite a few local shows happening this week that are either free or very cheap, and that’s awesome.  You should go to as many as you can!  If, however, you’d like to see a different set of faces, then I say jump to Sidewinder on Saturday for American Wrestlers, who are out of St. Louis.  The band just recently released their sophomore effort, Goodbye Terrible Youth, and it’s a totally solid set of indie pop/rock tunes.  Should be a good show!  Be there.

Tix are $12.  NE-HI and Commander Keen will open.
