I know you're trying to pace yourself this three-day weekend, but tonight is going to be quite amazing. The Creepy Creeps headline quite a fantastic lineup at Casbah while Soda Bar isn't going to know what hit after Brazilian psych-rockers Boogarins roll through. It will be quite different from their early evening show with singer-songwriter Griffin House. If you're in the Valentine's mood, head to Super Love Jam at Valley View Casino Center, or spend your afternoon with the ladies of an L7 cover band, playing a free show at Winston's. There's the Chain Gang of '74 at Hideout and French hip-hop producer Wax Tailor drops into Music Box. That is a night packed with great music, and it will make for an excellent Saturday night.
