You know we love us some Luna. And here she is, performing at least year’s The Thing! Yes, we’ll have more information on this year’s The Thing, next week. Got all that? Good. This weekend, however, Luna is going to be playing at Skystage with the fine dudes in Lost Keys as well as Fermi’s Paradox, whose latest EP we reviewed earlier today. Got all that? Real good. Elsewhere this weekend … well, the 200 East Art Haus is playing host to the first-ever Frederick Craft Spirits Festival! And Luke Alexander, who was kind enough to offer up a Celebrity Playlist this week, is going to perform at that. Got all that? Real, real good. There’s also some Talking Dreads. And some Community Center. And some Full Moon Rising. And some Left Of Center jazz. And some Doug Alan Wilcox along with Josh Gray, two great people. And, of course, there’s Willie and each one of his Chaperones. Might we have some interesting news to share next week? We shall see. For now, enjoy the final week of April. T-minus one month, exactly, until The Thing Part Two. You excited? We are. Stay dry.
