Upcoming Observatory Shows (Updated 2.8.2016)

I keep chatting with my industry friends and they're telling me that this is still the slow season, but I'll tell you in no way does it feel that way to me. I'm definitely going out less, but that's got a lot more to do with having Nova full time, me being old, working too many jobs (4 plus this site), and taking advantage of sleep when I can get it, than it does with an overall slow down of the music scene. It will definitely be getting much, much busier, so if this is slow, enjoy it while you can. This week, The Observatory announced new shows with XXYYXX (3.11), Young Thug (3.13), FKJ (3.19), The Front Bottoms (4.18), and X with Los Lobos (5.8). Ticket links are all below. February midmonth shows and beyond are after the jump.
