Thanksgiving and the arctic blast are behind us, but there's still a whole weekend ahead of us, so let's get back to what we know, shall we? The Belly Up is going to be a great time tonight with the return of the local legends Greyboy Allstars, while the Rosalyns brings that sweet retro vibe to the Casbah. Soda Bar will be fire with the funky ska vibes of the Bandulus, and even the Observatory North Prak is getting back in the game with Arizona rockers the Maine. And of course, it's Friday, so if you still wanna dance your booty off, there are plenty of options to do that, too. I'm just glad it's Friday and I'll be soaking in as much chill as I can find.
