Maryland: Stonerider at Sonar
A throwback to the days of tight jeans and sleezy metal, StoneRider gets its mean buzz on in Baltimore. We think the refrain from “Rush Hour, Baby” says it all – high times, fast women. What more do you need to know? Friday night 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $8, $10 at the door
Washington: Dub Trio at DC9
Dub is as dub does, but Dub Trio likes to branch out and get its reverb on. The Brooklyn group goes beyond the limitations its name might suggest and has made a reputation on its high-octane live shows. Saturday night, 9 p.m. Tickets are $10, $12 at the door
Virginia: Dr. dog at Iota Club & Cafe
Our big pick of the week – Philly rockers Dr. Dog know how to get it done in the studio, but from what we hear, it’s all about the live show. If you were planning on spending the weekend spinning your parents’ Beatles albums, making it out to Arlington might be a worthwhile alternative. It’s 21 and over only, so be sure to bring ID. Friday night, 9 p.m. Tickets are $15
