Now that rent is already in for the month, time to bust out that leftover dinero and get down to the good stuff — live concerts! The local music scene is bustling with great shows this month, from Korey Dane’s Monday Night Residency at The Echo to Transviolet’s Tuesday Night Residency at The Satellite. Plus kick ass local groups like Gothic Tropic, The Dead Ships, and more will be headlining local haunts such as The Hi-Hat, Acerogami, etc. On the other end of the musical spectrum if you’re fiending for a dark, heavy musical escape, Combichrist, Rob Zombie and Killswitch Engage have got you covered. Prefer to get hot and sweaty on the dance floor? Ellie Goulding, Calentura feat. Buraka Som Sistema, and Goldroom are just a few of the groove fueled acts that will get you going. No matter what your fancy, April has got something to fulfill your musical needs. See our top show picks and more below!
