Hey. You. Yes. You. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back. Or as some may say, FALL BACK, DUDE. Welcome to the first weekend in November. Naturally, that means First Saturday is here so plan your schedule accordingly. Oh, wait. But what about music? Glad you asked. Fractal Cat, who you can see cover The Beatles above these words, are coming to Cafe Nola. And it’s been a bit since they’ve been back. So you should take note. Elsewhere, the great dudes in Crooked Hills will be playing with the great dudes in Lionize at Cafe 611, so don’t sleep on that. The Commonheart, a truly great band who you need to check out yesterday, will be at the Weinberg tonight. And it’s pay whatever the freak you want. So freakin’ do it. Also, don’t forget about Max Weinberg, who is bringing his Jukebox to Charles Town on Saturday. Definitely don’t forget about that. There’s Bencoolen. There’s Full Effect. There’s Jah Works. There’s open mics. There’s Jason & Michelle. And there’s King Buffalo. Happy get-dark-early-day, friends. Winter is closer than you think.
