Perhaps you heard that JEFF the Brotherhood is currently asking fans to superimpose their faces on the Hypnotic Nights leopard via Facebook. I think it's just a promotional thing rather than a contest, per se, but how could I not plug Gold's face onto that bad boy?
Moving on, this weekend's looking fairly legit as far as live entertainment goes. Tonight you've got: Rufus Wainwright at the Ryman; Die Antwoord at Marathon; Milktooth's EP release at The High Watt; Fly Golden Eagle, James Wallace and the Naked Light and Meadownoise at The Stone Fox; and more. Tomorrow you're looking at: Forget Cassettes' release at Exit/In; one of those Music City Shake Down tapings at the NECAT building; Alabama Shakes' benefit at The 5 Spot; Little Bandit early at Grimey's; and plenty more. Have a look at the rest — compiled by Adam "Eye of the Leopard" Gold — after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a carnivorous weekend.
