Shows: INEVERYROOM, Small Black, Romantic States, more

This weekend there's a few solid options for musical endeavors to partake in here in Baltimore. Tonight you can head to the Golden West to hop on board the chill wave of Small Black, who just put out a full length on Jagjaguwar. Backing him will be Class Actress and the always awesome Talk To Animals.





Tomorrow night you've got more options starting with an excellent benefit at the Metro Gallery put on by Iraqi Student Project Baltimore. Headlining will be our friends INEVERYROOM, and also playing will be Romantic States, Dustin Wong, and Yeveto. Go support a good cause with some equally excellent tunes.

Also Saturday night, our favorite party rappers and our favorite punk rockers Rapdragons and Sick Weapons will be playing for the masses at Rams Head Live. They'll be opening for the pop-punk breakouts Matt & Kim.

Sunday Brunch: Truman Peyote, Scottie B, Rapdragons, Winks, Shock Diamond, & more

This Sunday at The Annex, John of Environmental Aesthetics is throwing a show called Sunday Brunch. Taking place in 3E and 4W, 17 acts are slated to play from 2 PM 'til late.





With a wide variety sounds that are either based in the area or passing through Baltimore on their way up to CMJ, folks will have a plethora of vibes to take in with their eggs benedict and huevos rancheros. Be prepared for rock, warped R&B, psyched out electronics, Baltimore club, scuzzy post-folk, party rap, and plenty more.



Performing will be Winks, Truman Peyote, Shock Diamond, Talk to Animals, Brendan Sullivan, True Womanhood, Ava Luna, Stillborn Identity, Bug Eyes, Ced Hughes, Gabe Niles, Artyy Ziff, Cop Magnet, Rapdragons, and 2n3904. Special guests include DJ sets from the legendary Scottie B and the Deep In The Game dudes.

Clusterfuck: Deep in the Game, Scout Niblett, Talk to Animals, Small Sur, DMFS, Weekends, Winks

There are things to do in Baltimore this weekend. Tonight after you pick from some shows in Station North, you can go dance it off at the Hippo for Deep in The Game, which features a live CEX set. Above is the promo video that SCHWARZ passed along.



Before all that, the Metro's Gallery's got a great one with Scout Niblett coming through town and joined by Small Sur and Holy Sons. Scout Niblett ruled at the GW earlier this year, and we've learned that there aren't many Small Sur sets that don't sound beautiful.

Up the street you'll find a record release show / beer tasting at the Windup Space that features the Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad. I've seen these guys a few times over the years, and having a beer tasting be their release party for a new record makes perfect sense. 10 dollars gets you in and a free copy of their new album called Boneslinky. Watch DMFS get kicked off of a ridiculous Fox television show here. "It hurts, doesn't it?"





On Saturday night, if I wasn't heading up to NYC to see Celebration play with Andrew Cedermark, Woodsman, and Updied Sound at Glasslands, I'd be at MICA's BBox Theatre around 8 PM for Weekends, Winks, and Talk To Animals. Free for MICA kids, five dollars to the public. Also Saturday, get your ears blasted once more by Ruiner, who play their last ever show at Sonar. This one is ten dollars, doors are at 7 PM, and the incredibly rad Death of Superman show poster by Nolen Strals is below.

Friday night the Hexagon featured Weekends, Talk to Animals, Jones, Buildings, and Bone Zone. The show was a lot of fun, and this was Weekends second show out of four that were played in Baltimore, DC, and Brooklyn last weekend.

The bill was diverse, ranging from electro pop thrash to scuzz surf to psychedelic hip hop and more. Good times were had, and Valerie's killer set of photos is after the jump.
