Dark Star Orchestra
Electric Factory, 421 N 7th
I was talking earlier about what might happen if a famous cover band decided to change up and play a different band’s songs. I am picking this on the off chance that Dark Star decide to change up and bust a perfect rendition of The Who Live at Leeds. If you need alternatives to this weekend pick, I suggest either going inside Harry’s Occult Shop for the first time or going to karaoke at Downie’s on Sunday night and only doing Black Sabbath songs. 8pm, $25.
