Good afternoon, boys and girls. We’ve been talking about the Six Points Music Festival for some time now, and it’s finally upon us. Consider it your duty to take advantage of this festival in your own back yard, and pick from one of the many showcases of local talent going on this week. We’ll pick out a few of our favorites, but any show on the roster would be worthwhile.
MONDAY
>> You may have heard the album with us at Cue Bar, or you may have picked it up or streamed it online. Regardless, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ most recent release, Show Your Bones, is worth hearing in person. The enigmatic Karen O and her bandmates are known for fabulous live shows. If you were lucky enough to get tickets before they sold out, we’ll see you at the 9:30 Club tonight. Doors at 7:30 p.m.
TUESDAY
>> If you’re a Mason student trying to pick up that chin, check out one of our most recent Three Stars, Shwa, at GMU’s Jazzman’s Cafe. A college student’s schedule will make it easier to enjoy this 4 p.m. show, but if you’re in the neighborhood, stop on by.
WEDNESDAY
>> Indie rock pioneers Dinosaur Jr visit the 9:30 Club tonight. The band’s in its third decade of influential music-making; it’ll be worth your $30. 7:30 p.m.
