Thursday night’s Of Montreal show is going to be a pretty hard act to follow and so is last weekend’s Ghoul Fest. However there’s still a ton of shows to see this weekend even if you’re not attending Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin.

Punk veterans Bad Religion will be at Warehouse Live tonight with Off With Their Heads while Kansan post-rock group Appleseed Cast will be visiting Fitzgerald’s. If you’re in the mood for a laugh and heaping helping of heavy metal GWAR will be getting down with their weird selves at House of Blues tonight

Talented hipsters from Brooklyn (where else, right?) The Hold Steady have a show on Saturday night at Warehouse Live. Masterful arranger of samples and all-around amazing musician DJ Shadow will be doing a gig at House of Blues. Best Coast will be at Fitz Saturday night and Wild Moccasins will be playing at Walter’s.

Once popular but now silent for many years, early 2024s alt. rock band Alien Ant Farm will play Sunday night at Scout Bar. And for the most exciting show of the weekend, Brazilian 60s psych rock and experimental group Os Mutantes will be sharing a bill with lo-fi, freak folk, artist Ariel Pink.
