The Week In Shows: 8/29-9/4

An early Saturday morning 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!

I have never found it to be so true that one works for the weekend that much harder when there is a long weekend on the horizon. Such is the case this week, with Labor Day weekend dangling out there in front of us. We'll get there, friends. Eventually. In the meantime, 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!
