Aural Sex

The weekend is close…only one more morning of that effin’ alarm and then it’s the weekend. Which means you get to go and get blacked and then sleep it off all day. You can either do that at your local watering hole like usual, or you can go out and shake off the work week to some live music. It’s your choice. Don’t feel pressured. We’re just here to show you your options.

This weekend doesn’t seem as big as the previous few we’ve had, but there are still some good bands out there making the rounds. Take the jump. You know you want to.
