My top 4 midweek outings:
☛ The Walkmen (joined by Japandroids) headline the Music Box behind the release of their fifth album “Lisbon.”
☛ AA Bondy, whose set was one of the highlights of the recent FYF Fest, plays Spaceland along with fellow folkie JBM.
☛ Power-pop Bleu (whose new album “Four” will be out in November) and Mike Viola perform at the Hotel Cafe.
☛ And there’s an excellent lineup at the Bootleg Theater, where Washington, D.C.’s US Royalty is joined by locals Chasing Kings, Line and Circle and the Smiles.
