Thee Commons
While the concert heavy month of Rocktober leaves much to be desired, November isn’t letting us down. Be thankful concert heads because there are plenty of chances this month to catch some spectacular live acts. From living legends like Dave Davies of The Kinks bringing down the house old-school style to up-and-coming pop stars such as Ryn Weaver and Halsey getting you in the dancing mood to the long awaited comebacks from provocative performer Peaches and Los Angeles synth-pop master Big Black Delta, the show pickings this month may be fewer than Rocktober but they are definitely top notch. Enjoy music fiends!
