Tuesday offers a mixed bag of goodies for your holiday appetites. Foster the People have blown up over the past couple years as a band, but they want you to know they have great taste in music, too, so members will be selecting fine tunes at Voyeur. Tori Roze hosts her regular Tuesday at the Ruby Room with great local acts including harpist Kelsey Rae Little who willingly admits her idolatry of Joanna Newsom. Bangladesh plan on rocking out the Soda Bar while Broncho do the same at Eleven, so perhaps it's a good night to walk back and forth between the two bars, or maybe head to Tin Can to catch Roxy Jones. I know lots of people are excited about A John Waters Christmas up at the Belly Up, and I can't say I've experienced the man in all his storytelling delight, but I've only heard great things, so perhaps that is your calling. Whatever you choose on Tuesday, there's a lot coming up over the next week, so be sure to savor all we have before the holidays are upon us with full impact.
