Did everyone just get an extended weekend or did you have to work today? Ideally, you've got Independence Day off and can get out and have some fun on the town with your friends without having to worry about your morning alarm. At Blonde you can catch Ducktails, the side project of Real Estate's guitarist, Matt Mondanile, who last played here in 2015. Casbah will be an all-dance night with Booty Bassment, Trey Songz makes an appearance at Oxford Social Club at the Pendry and classic funksters War play the fair. There are plenty of ways to get your pre-holiday fun in all over town, so take advantage where and when you can.
