The Week In Shows: 1/27-2/2

A freezing cold Saturday 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 may or may not be taking in over the course of the week. Hot diggity!

I must say, friends, that I don't really find this Baltic weather we're currently dealing with conducive to much apart from curling up in bed and hibernating. Below freezing = bad. But the shows must go on, I suppose, and I must get out of bed. Here's a look at some recommendations for the coming week. It's possible I'll brave the sub-freezing temps for some good music, and you should definitely do the same.
