The Week In Shows: 10/7-10/13

A dark and stormy, tornado watchin' Monday morning is as good a time as any 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!

Obviously, this week is gonna be a good one. The show of all shows is happening Friday night, at Velvet Lounge (this, obviously, is the More Humans + Ttotals + Dangerosa throwdown yours truly is a part of - don't miss it!). Apart from that, it's another pretty fine week of shows here in the DC metro (with some serious nostalgia shows in the mix). Take a gander, and see if we can't cross paths at some of these here gigs. My eye is on the ones with a couple of stars.
