Tomorrow is Easter, and your options might be limited, so get the partying out of your system tonight. Maren Parusel is playing a free show at Bar Pink, Sweden's Movits! invade the Soda Bar, Roger Clyne takes over the Belly Up, and the Growlers return to the Casbah. There are some cool early shows around town, too, so even if tomorrow requires you donning your Easter duds and looking sharp, you can still get out and enjoy music and good times at the Tower Bar, Whistle Stop, Eleven or Analog. Sounds like you have no choice but to rock this Saturday night.
