The Week In Shows: 9/3-9/8

Monday The Tuesday after a long weekend is the perfect time to plot ones weekly live music schedule, I think. Let's take a look at what's happening in the greater DC metro this week, with the added bonus of filling you in on what I'll be taking in over the course of the week. Hot diggity!

Things are starting to ramp up on the live music front. Not only am I excited for fall in general, but I also can't wait for the onslaught of killer shows the cooler climes inevitably bring. September is looking pretty good, on the whole, and we've only just begun. Find me at shows denoted with double stars.
