It’s supposed to be a chilly weekend (and you could have heard about that this morning when we were on Bob Miller’s morning show on WFMD, talking about entertainment this weekend – cough, cough), but that doesn’t mean the area is lacking in suitable choices to close out April. Tonight, the Weinberg will host a sold-out crowd for buzzy neo-classical act 2Cellos and if you have a ticket, you ought to consider yourself lucky. On Sunday, Seaknuckle and Chainsaws will take over Cafe Nola and even though it isn’t listed here, you should most certainly make plans for that. Elsewhere, the Last Saturdays hip-hop series continues at the Church Street Pub on Saturday and if you have an extra five bucks, you really ought to think a little about checking that out. If not, and you happen to live closer to West Virginia, The Hello Strangers will be at The Opera House, and we all know by now how much we love us some Hello Strangers. There’s a super-packed bill at Cafe 611 on Saturday night, too, with The Averist, subject of a Q&A with us before, leading the way. And then our good friends in Heavy Lights (above) will be at Cafe Nola Saturday night with a pair of other great out-of-towners. There’s Operation: Death. There’s Starcrush. There’s Ghost Pepper. There’s Ted Garber. There’s Rew Smith. There’s Gary Brown. There’s DisFunkShun. There’s The Milestones. There’s The Paperbacks. And then, of course, there is S’Wild, not to be confused with Wild ‘N Out. On MTV. With Nick Cannon. Yeah. Anyway, we’ll be back next week with some goodies (hopefully), and we encourage you all to pick up next week’s 72 Hours, which will look different, feel different and have its own entire Frederick Playlist section. Exciting. We know. Have a Happy St. George’s Day, you hear. Stay warm, friends.
