Happy federal holiday, everyone (in the US, at least).
Some interesting shows going on this week. Â The Antlers stop by The Vic and will undoubtedly perform some beautifully atmospheric songs from Hospice. Â Snook Dog managed to sell out the Metro, Greg Laswell has his second night of his winter residency up at SPACE, and Billy Corgan lends his name and talent to a benefit show for the Kellogg Cancer Care Center.
