Show Of The Week

May has been such a weird month for shows that I opted to temporarily pop this column on the shelf and focus on other stuff.  This week though, things look real good.  There are some quality locals playing (Bayonne, Shy Beast, Boyfrndz), Imogen Heap is going to be here for the first time in a long while, and – mostly important, of course – my beloved Mono will be performing at Barracuda tomorrow (Thursday) night.  Not only are they out in support of their awesome new album, Nowhere Now Here, but they’re also celebrating 20 years of existence.  Make sure you join me for the show – Mono always churn out an epic experience!

Tix are $15 in advance, $17 the day of.  Emma Ruth Rundle will open.
