It's hard to tell you that you should go see an act when their new album happens to drop on the same day as the show, but when it comes to the Milk Carton Kids, I feel like I can comfortably say they are amazing performers and their music has never let me down before. "All the Things I Did and Everything I Didn't Do" is already getting great reviews and this is the first time the duo is touring with a full band, so if you love your music with some heavy guitar pickin' and violin singin', this is your show at the Belly Up. At the Casbah, fan favorite Chuck Ragan, of Hot Water Music, will fill the room; Dua Lipa returns to town with a show at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre with awesome newcomer Clairo opening; or grab your kayak because the Go-Go's are playing a sold-out show at Humphreys.
