For anyone who is enjoying spring break this week, it may already seem like it's flying by, but I assure you, there are plenty of fun things tonight to make it memorable. At the Casbah, get the two-pack punch of the Lil Smokies and Michigan Rattlers, who play beautiful whiskey-soaked Americana. Meanwhile, Soda Bar has the catchy and folky singalong jams of Ages and Ages which also promises to be a great one. The Belly Up keeps it local with their own Honky-Tonk, Vaginals headline Bar Pink, and the Office offers up another live band emo karaoke night. I haven't quite settled on a show tonight, but luckily the offerings are great ones and I can't go wrong with any of them.
