I can hardly take how many good shows are happening this week. Tuesday, especially has a roster that should be pleasing to all tastes. Leading things off is the return of Bonobo. They've sold out the Casbah, sold out the Belly Up, and it looks as though they'll be selling out the House of Blues, too, but you might still be able to snag tickets online. Down at the Casbah, the Blow returns for freakish fun, while Rusted Root will send you on your way up to the Belly Up. For an unexpected twist of fun, check out Clairy Brown & the Bangin Rackettes at Soda Bar. Perhaps two big surprises, since there's a massive show at the House of Blues on Halloween with Rocket From the Crypt and Mrs. Magician, is that the Night Marchers will perform at Bar Pink, while the mysterious "Mr. Physician" headline at the Griffin. Perhaps you can do the math on that one. All in all, a great night of music awaits.
