Cream Calendar Weekend Round-Up: Miz Style
Posted by D. Patrick Rodgers on Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 7:45 AM
I haven't seen the latest musical adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, and I can't say I'm particularly interested in doing so. Let's just say that I've met my lifetime quota on tearful renditions of "I Dreamed a Dream." Y'all have fun though. Anyway, I liked Zero Dark Thirty.
But here in the real world — where people don't just burst into song in unison like a bunch of roving lunatics — we have some good live music. It's not a packed weekend, but that doesn't mean there isn't some quality action here and there. Tonight you're looking at: the Biebs with Carly Rae Jepsen at Bridgestone; Bloc Party at Cannery; Square Dance at The Stone Fox; Mayhem doing She's So Unusual at Mercy Lounge; The Joy of Painting, Meth Dad and some others at 12th & P; and more. Tomorrow you've got: Luella and the Sun and more at The High Watt; Western Medication's album release at Mt. Swag; Soul Radics releasing an album up at FooBar; and more. Have a look at the rest — compiled by music listings editor Adam "Javert" Gold — after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a masterful weekend.
