There are so many great shows to check out tonight that you might find yourself in a quandary about which to choose. If you're looking for a big touring band, look no further than indie-rockers the Sounds all the way from Sweden. Navigating the Oughts with their synth-heavy and '80s throwback sounds, they're sure to impress tonight at the Observatory. Meanwhile, don your disco shimmer and get in the dance groove with Gavin Turek. While playing perhaps the smallest stage of her tour at the Casbah, the show will feel larger than life as Gavin's active social media photos and videos can attest. Meanwhile, our friends Dani Bell & the Tarantist illuminate the Soda Bar, Belly Up hosts reggae with Jamaican legend Bernard Collins, and Bar Pink hosts a special Tiki Tuesday with the Garners and Thee Unsound.
