You can tell we had a fun week just by counting the number of show previews and reviews that appeared on the site. Between watching a legendary emo reunion, a pizza-themed Velvet Underground tribute featuring Macaulay Culkin, famed indie acts, folk, electronic, and more, we can confidently say that November is already off to a record-breaking start. Last week was also great for show announcements, and our 2015 calendars are starting to fill out fast.
