Napalm Flesh: Burning up with Karma to Burn
If it’s your heart’s desire to soak in some great guitar riffing, bass pummeling and groovy rhythms, this is the week to do so. West Virginia’s long standing instrumental (and at times not-so-instrumental) band Karma to Burn are hitting Burt’s on Aug. 23.

A Perfect Circle, Red Bacteria Vacuum @ Kingsbury Hall 08.01

All Out Ballz Out with Cerebral Ballzy

The normal, grooving, garage rock vibe that Urban usually hosts transmogrifies into a pissed, circle-pit hardcore show as Titus screams, “Catch me if you can! Catch me if you can! I don’t think you can! … read more
