The Week in Shows: 8/15-8/21

A Saturday night full of some hot hot heat definitely seems 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, shall we? Hot diggity (and still with an emphasis on the hot)!

Just a little public service type announcing, y'all, if you're in the DC metro (or anywhere else with a heat advisory), please be sure to hydrate, stay inside whenever possible, and don't leave pets in your cars. Or small children. This heat is brutal. But as per just about usual, there's a lot to see in DC my friends. Make sure you get out there this week and support your bands of choice. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week. See a show with an asterisk? I'll be there, so let's hang. 

And as an aside, if you've got a show coming up you'd like me to consider including in my weekly calendar, just shoot me an email with "Calendar" somewhere in the subject line. Thanks y'all!
