The weekend is hours away and that means the Aural Sex live music breakdown is here to help you plan your weekend.
While we don’t have the festival line-ups like we did last week, there is no shortage of bands out there making the rounds. Some groups we haven’t seen too much of like Animal Collective, Pinback, Queens of the Stone Age, and Interpol are on tour right now, so you should definitely try to see them if you can. The Grandfather of Funk himself is also out there making a few stops, and that’s almost always worth the price of admission.
If you’re feeling randy and think you might like to see some great live music, take the jump and let us help you plan it out.
Send us an email at blog@brahsome.com if you want your city and/or band included in next week’s list.
