Great week to check out some of our favorite local acts. Ragged Hearts on Wednesday night, Lanky on Thursday, and Orange Is In on Friday. Also, Super Happy Fun Land is back open again, after a week of spring cleaning, and their calendar is full of new local and national artists.
Sure, the big show this week is Gwen Stefani, but we're going to skip the trek out to The Woodlands and see the great alt.country band Son Volt at the Continental Club Sunday night instead.
