It’s already Friday? Great, because I just saw Labyrinth for the first time ever and have been practicing my Dance Magic Dance. Now I want you to join me at every one of these top 10 shows this weekend. Who do? You do! Slap that baby, make him free!

#10 Beech Creeps / Ghetto Ghouls / Squad Car / Time Walk @ Silent Barn (SUN 8PM, $?)

Sunday night gets a dose of heavy rock. Whether you’re getting your fix or not only you will decide.

#9 You Blew It!, Sorority Noise, Microwave @ Jacob Riis Park (SUN 2pm, $FREE)

Free music at the beach makes for very happy bodies. There are shows going on both Saturday and Sunday, but the feel-good emo vibes of You Blew it! makes the most sense near crashing waves.

#8 Excepter, Zaimph, Image Man, Silk Purse, Cyanide Tooth, Rhyton, Kyle Eyre Clyd, Matthew Mullane, Abigail Hobbs, Sarah Louise @ Trans-Pecos (SAT 2PM, $8)

Another weekend, another mysterious event at Trans-Pecos. This time it’s “A DOG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT FESTIVAL” and features Danish band Excepter, a “synthetic protest band engineered to erase cultural distinctions through polarized confusion.” Why not.
