If you thought last week was top-notch, then you might need a minute to prepare yourself for this week. We’re mostly talking about the JEFF/Pentagram show happening in the middle of the week. But, on top of that, there’s that big free show on the 20th with Surfer Blood and Turbo Fruits and stuff. And then our buddies at the Cream are having a party at Third Man with our favorite Tristen and EPD. Staying stoked in the sun. That’s our motto this week.
