The Week In Shows: 4/29-5/4

A gloomy as all get out, rainy Tuesday 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!

April showers, who knew? It's fixing to rain cats and dogs for a couple days, but that won't stop the rock. This is a fine week for shows in the DC metro, and April is going out/May is coming in on a high note. You never know, I just might see you out and about during the week, and as always, anything that's starred has a high forecast of yours truly being there.
