The Week in Shows: 10/17-10/23

The middle Saturday of the best month of the year 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!

As I'm sure you'll agree, October is still bringing some serious goodness as far as live music goes. Fall is the season to allow oneself to be spoiled by all the touring bands are inclined to do at this time of year. I'm in favor of being spoiled! So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week. And if you happen to see an asterisk by a show, I'll be there. You should too.

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!
