Can we just call it the weekend already? Especially with such great music on Thursday, why can't we just get to it? You can catch the always-awesome shredders of JEFF the Brotherhood at Soda Bar, for starters -- their new album just came out this week after they slayed at South By Southwest. Meanwhile, if stoner metal is your jam, head to the Casbah for Weedeater. Joined by King Parrot and the locals of Archons, this one is more for those who like a little face melting on their Thursday. The Ken Club has a rare show, and Bar Pink hosts some local all-stars in their Tribute to the Zombies.
