Ladies and gentlemen, the shoo-in for what to do with your weekend: This two-night gathering of local rock royalty features the recently reunited Suburbs (pictured), who have found solace performing together once again after losing guitarist Bruce C. Allen in December of last year, along with punk pioneers and longtime friends the Suicide Commandos. The two bands played a similar show together in the Mainroom last February, and by all reports it was a cathartic celebration of the band's and Allen's legacy, and one that revived the spirit of the Suburbs for a new generation of music fans. This weekend's shows should be similarly joyous and touching experiences. Get there early, get up front, and get ready to dance. (Photo by Alexa Jones)
