By far, Friday night’s show at The Mink’s Backroom is the one to be excited about: Maserati, with locals By the End of Tonight, Sharks and Sailors, and Blades, along with sets by DJ Ceeplus Bad Knives and Dunnock. Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town, which is frustrating since Maserati’s latest album is probably my favorite release this year and I was also out of town when they played here in June.
