Our Weekend Roundup doesn’t cover EVERYTHING going on music wise in Memphis, so here are a few shows you should check out tonight and tomorrow.

Amy LaVere plays with Will Sexton tonight at Bar DKDC, their first local show since conquering SXSW 2015. The show starts early for happy hour (6 p.m.), and as far as we know there isn’t a cover. Check out Amy LaVere and Will Sexton performing in Germany below.

Rabid Villain, La Pistola and The Devil’s Right Hand play the Hi-Tone tonight, but if you want to check out Bar DKDC before heading to Crosstown you definitely can, because the Hi-Tone show doesn’t start until later in the evening around. Check out the video below of Dan Garber and company ripping it at last year’s Gone to the Dogs fest. 

Mid-Week Music (3)

There’s a new band in town featuring a bunch of Michigan transplants called Whoa Blackberries, and they are holding down the Buccaneer tomorrow night. Joining them is another newish local band called Chickasaw Mound, a group featuring Jesse James Davis and his amazing vocal chords . Check out the Magic Sounds of Our Sanctuary album below, the track “Dream Girl” is especially amazing. The show costs $5 and starts at 9 p.m..

Coliseum at the Hi-Tone Tuesday Night

Coliseum

Coliseum return to Memphis tomorrow, alongside Seraph/The Light and Blesser. The last time I saw Coliseum was years ago in a tiny garage off Cleveland Avenue called The Armory, but the band has changed up their sound since then, replacing their brand of thrashy punk with a more rock and roll sound. Check out music from Coliseum and Seraph/The Light below, then get to the Hi-Tone by 9:00 p.m. tomorrow night with $10 in your hand.
