I don't know if you made it down to OB, but it felt like the entire county was there, which also means Saturday night, at least as far as I could tell, was pretty mild. Make up for it on Sunday night! There's an early show at the House of Blues with Graffiti6 that promises to be a great one. It will be in the Delta Room, and the last time the band played here, there were about 25 people at the show. As its music spreads, Graffiti6 are hitting festivals and touring all over the U.S., but this will still be great show in the intimate space. I mean, the last show I saw there was Cage the Elephant, and we all know how that has shaken out. Later in the night, you can enjoy a solid show at the Tin Can or the Griffin, see MCs battle it out at the Soda Bar or discover the nuances in doom and black metal with a Southern Lord Records showcase tour.
