The Overture

Stoner metal, hip hop, indie pop and summer nights in the beer garden abound.

It’s our weekly rundown of music in and around town — the good, the bad and the emo.

A slow week for shows, but you could probably use the extra time to recover from Mastodon.

Slim pickings this week with the whole finals thing, but if you feel like destroying your grades, we’ve got you covered.

In this week’s edition, John panders to everyone he can, including zombies and his own spouse (well, everyone except Joe Pug that is).

Those damn shows keep on coming — thicker and faster than ever.

Hell hath no fury like the stellar lineup of artists in C-U this week. (Hell hath plenty of fury for lazy writers.)

Dueling record store day shows top off the most packed day of music this town has seen in quite a while.

Worthy benefit shows, unbridled rock n’ roll, cutting edge electronic wizardry, jazz, hip hop, folk . . .another week of outstanding music in a “micro urban” setting.
