Happy 24th anniversary of the debut of Seinfeld! Well, sort of. The pilot first aired in 1989, but the series didn't begin regularly airing until May 31, 1990. And if it wasn't for Seinfeld, we wouldn't have
normcore. So. Do with that what you will.
Anyway, pretty solid-looking weekend. Tonight you've got: The Kills at Cannery; Tipper Whore's album release show at The Stone Fox; Waka Flocka Flame at Anthem; Phil Hummer, Justin and the Cosmics and Nikki Lane at The 5 Spot; Little Bandit with Poly and Roy Ira at The Basement; and loads more. Tomorrow you're looking at: Caitlin Rose at The 5 Spot; Manchester Orchestra at Cannery; Turbo Fruits at The High Watt; Neon Worship with Across Tundras and others at Springwater; The Long Players doing Sweet Baby James at Mercy; and plenty more. Have a look at the rest — compiled by me this week, since music listings editor Adam "Master of His Domain" Gold is out of town — after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a weekend about nothing. Or whatever.
