There’s something liberating about going to a mid-week concert. Perhaps it’s the fact that you should be in bed, getting ready for the next day, or because there aren’t many people partying on a Wednesday. Either way, don’t miss Alfredo Ghosts, Scorn Dog, Smoker Dad, and Hellbat taking over Chop Suey.
