Man, there are some seriously great shows tonight, so if you only get out one week night, this would be the night. The Casbah welcomes the return of Metz, who deliver brutal and blistering performances every single show. Meanwhile, Chicago duo Louis the Child play at the Observatory, synth-pop act Night Drive play Space and outlaw country artist Wayne Hancock is back in town with a show at Soda Bar. La Voz -- the Spanish language version of The Voice -- coach Natalia Jimenez plays at House of Blues and Belly Up has got your reggae needs covered with the Devastators. Hopefully, you've got an easy Thursday morning so you can really live it up tonight.
