I didn't realize just how knowledgeable trusty music listings editor and veritable culture sponge Adam Gold is regarding the Friday the 13th film franchise until just now. I was trying to drum up an appropriate image for the round-up, and Gold totally guided me through a synopsis of which installments saw Jason without his mask, which installments featured non-Jason killers, which ones sucked, which ones featured the most hilarious deaths and so on. Bro knows his Friday the 13th.
Anyhow, what isn't eerie is the solid collection of local-rock goodness we've got going on this weekend. As is customary, D. Striker will be making his Friday the 13th appearance tonight, this time at FooBar. Also tonight, you've got the first night of Jonathan Richman at The 5 Spot, Fleet Foxes at The Ryman, Starlicker Trio at Betty's and the first night of Naked Without Us at Mercy Lounge. Tomorrow, we're looking at the second night of Jonathan Richman at The 5 Spot, Across Tundras' record release at Little Hamilton, Daniel Ellsworth and the Great Lakes' album release at Exit/In, Brett Dennen with Dawes at Cannery, Cy Barkley and the Way Outsiders at Grimey's, the second night of Naked Without Us at Mercy Lounge, Musicians Corner feat. The Wooten Brothers in Centennial Park and much more. There's even some good action on Sunday: The Ton Up Show feat. Turbo Fruits, Heavy Cream, Useless Eaters and more at Drifters, plus Natural Child, Useless Eaters, Cy Barkley and more at Glen Danzig's. Have a look at the rest, compiled by music listings editor — and the second killer in the 13th Friday the 13th — Adam Gold, after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a spooky Friday the 13th. Ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-ha ...
