On MONDAY (the 28th), DJ NOOK continues his residency at Local 121's Taproom (401.274.2121).

Midweek blahs/post-holiday hangover be damned: WBRU has you covered with NYC duo CULTS playing the Met (401.729.1005) on Tuesday, followed by the 42nd (!!) Birthday Bash at Lupo's on WEDNESDAY (the 30th) with MATT & KIM, YOUNG THE GIANT, and THE NAKED & FAMOUS, call 401.331.5876 for ticket availability.
