Coming off a three-day weekend hasn't made work any easier this week, but it does mean we're one night closer to the weekend, and with the great shows Wednesday night, you'll want to get out and hear some live music. At Soda Bar, catch the incredible live performance of Austin's reigning psych-rockers, the Bright Light Social Hour. If you're going, be sure to arrive in time for the awesome performance of James Supercave, who recently stole the show when they opened for Gardens & Villa. If you're looking for somehting more indie, check out Canadian indie-rockers Half Moon Run, also with a stellar opening act in Emilie & Ogden at Casbah. For lovers of all things Roots, head up to the Belly Up for The Wood Brothers.
