>> Local band Red Right Return plays DC9 tonight with Stella Mira and Kris Racer. See what the sound of a band formed by drunk dials has to offer. 8:00, $7

FRIDAY:
>> It's a night of roots rock and alt country at the 9:30 Club. Fresh from the Late Late Show, Last Train Home will be promoting their album Bound Away.

SATURDAY:
>> Saturday night's alright. We could make puns for days on end, but there's no denying that Elton John rocks. Shell out some serious cash and enjoy this legend at work at the MCI Center. Do us a favor and sing along with Tiny Dancer, because we love Almost Famous more than we probably should. 8:00, $45 - $125

930 F Street is playing again at the AFI Silver Tuesday night. $5.
Actually, Journey is now everyone's favorite band to like, either ironically or unironically depending on just how much of a hipster they are. "Don't Stop Believin'" cracked the iTunes Top Ten not too long ago, after all . . .
No mention of the Wrens at Black Cat on Friday?
for shame....
