Every Monday, The Showdown tells you who to see and where to see ‘em.

Monday: It’s MLK Day. Get out and volunteer!

Tuesday: Tim Kasher and his crew (aka Cursive) rock the Barbary. This one’s sold out so Get Your Barack On with us instead.

Wednesday: Canadian punks play KFN. Fucked Up at KungFu Necktie. With Pissed Jeans. Doors at 9 p.m., tickets are $10

Why is there no mention of Sam Mcpheeters on this gig? He was the singer for Born Against, for christ sake and the main attraction.
