Andrew W.K. - Wednesday, May 22 @ The Firebird
Next weekend looks pretty awesome, though anything does when an extended weekend awaits most of us thanks to Memorial Day. Keep that extra sleep time in mind while slogging through the work week and affording yourself some time to enjoy visits from acts like Andrew W.K., Soundgarden and El Ten Eleven. More recommendations await after the jump.

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Wednesday, May 15 @ The Firebird
You'd think that having jobs like our's would grant us innate superpowers to recall the goings-ons of any particular day at the blink of an eye, but the reality of it is that staring at the dozens and dozens of new shows that roll in weekly can become somewhat disorienting (luckily, this here concert calendar keeps it all on lockdown).

An entire month will have gone by before we realize that it's time to tear off the latest page of our refrigerator-sized desk calendar, and in doing so, we sometimes panic and forget where we are, who we are, whether or not we put on pants that morning, etc. I hope these weekly show recommendations are as helpful to you as they are to us, because quite frankly, without them, we'd have a hard time remembering what's going on. Keep on clickin' to see what's in store for the days ahead, including a new release from Mvstermind and much more.

Guys, Daniel Hill made it rain blood yesterday. You know, for Slayer. We don't know about you, but this past weekend was a pretty intense party, blustery weather be damned. And it don't stop. Keep things moving this week with visits from the likes of Har Mar Superstar and more, and look forward to shindigs like KDHX's Midwest Mayhem and Eleven Magazine's Where Is My Mind Tonight? 2 event, hosted by the Blind Eyes.

Dick Dale - Thursday, May 2 @ Blueberry Hill
Serenity now, serenity now!! What better way to start the week than with a series of nearby ground-shaking, Earth shattering construction noises to accompany a morning cup of joe? Luckily, headphones exist and a series of bookmarked live performances take me back to my quiet place. Music soothes all, and it's a busy, busy week. Find your inner calm by maxing out on live tunes including exciting visits from touring acts such as Dick Dale and Danny Brown. Then, get ready to party with Apop Records' 9th Birthday soiree and Cinco de Mayo on Cherokee Street. Look for all that and more after the jump.

Record Store Day approacheth! I won't say much this week. I have to reserve as much energy as possible with these vinyl-skimming digits, after all. Outside of all the events and after parties revolving around dear RSD, there's plenty to get out and see all week. Click ahead for our recommendations, and check out our comprehensive Record Store Day guide for what to look forward to on 4/20 -- well, besides the obvious, that is.

Nikki Hill CD Release - Thursday, Apr. 11 @ Blues City Deli
Warning: show-going can be bad for your health. I type this with watery eyes, a sore head and throat, and a forever-runny, impossible-to-breathe-out-of nose. I suppose all that putzing around in the rain between breaking a sweat at shows over the weekend really exacerbated things quickly. Bah! Worth it. Sneeze some shows this week.. I mean, see some shows this week. Locals Nikki Hill and Fred Friction release albums, while touring acts such as Ed Schrader's Music Beat and Widowspeak make stops locally. Click ahead for more recommendations.

Bunnygrunt 20th Birthday - Friday, Mar. 23 @ Plush
Sorry, spring breakers! We know, we know -- Animal Collective postponing their St. Louis show throws a huge wrench into the works, along with all this freezing and wet mucky, gloomy sadness outside the window. Chin up, music fans. There's plenty of other bands to make donning some galoshes and splashing your way to the nearest show worthwhile this week. Go see The English Beat, Pinback or Bunnygrunt for starters. See more show recommendations after the jump.
