I know we had water falling from the sky this week so sometimes we turn into a collective wicked witch and avoid it at all costs, but I assure you there are plenty of reasons to let your hair frizz and surrender your flip-flops for better foot protection this Friday night if it rains (forecasts say it shouldn't though). At the Irenic, catch electro-rock duo Lemaitre, whose performance at Austin City Limits left fans and critics talking. Wheeler Walker Jr. is back with another sold-out show, this time at the Observatory North Park. Instrumental post-rock duo, El Ten Eleven, return to the Casbah for the first of two nights on the heels of their 10th release, "Banker's Hill" (read the SoundDiego interview with the band here). Moon Honey, meanwhile, return to Soda Bar; Led Zepagain play a sold-out show at the Belly Up; and Bar Pink hosts a local show with Dethsurf. Grab a jacket, maybe an umbrella (if you're feeling extra cautious) and soak up some music.
