Sometimes I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the reality is that if you love indie rock and love bands with serious buzz like Tame Impala -- you are seriously screwed because it's sold-out. There is no other show worth seeing more than this one but maybe you'll pay more attention in the future. The good news is you can still check out Little Hurricane at the Belly Up, and there is no disappointment in that consolation. But move quickly to purchase tickets in advance from the box office. If not, here are more shows to choose from -- anything less just adds up to a boring Friday night.
