We've got some pretty cool live options in town on Wednesday to get you all ready for the upcoming holidays. Up at the Belly Up, Minneapolis synth-pop act Polica perform. This is for those of you who love ambient pop with a sultry female vocal lead. Meanwhile, the Casbah hosts the annual Dublin Mob XXXmas Party, with some great rocking bands leading up to headliners Black Hondo, and expect the naughty Santas, a lot of leather and a whole lot of fun. You don't have to know the motorcycle culture or Dublin Mob to enjoy this raging party. Elsewhere, Soda Bar has a great local garage lineup, and Tin Can has a cool folky lineup. This Wednesday doesn't look too shabby.
