Holy moly, there's SO many shows going on this weekend. But if The Tubes, Cut Copy, The Ataris, Colorstore, or Laconic aren't your thing (what kind of music do you like, anyway?), Up on the Sun has you covered.
Here are a few eccentric shows that may have not have popped up on your radar, from bands all over the musical map, who are eager for the attention of your ears this Friday and Saturday (there are great shows Sunday night, too, but that's when we watch Curb Your Enthusiasm).
