What’s going on this weekend? Schoolboy Q, of course, is performing at the Masquerade tonight (Fri., July 15) — though that show’s sold out now. As is XXYYXX at Terminal West. If you need some other options, peruse the list below. Saturday night seems like the night to beat: Local favorites Twin Studies headline a kick-ass shoegaze bill at 529, Athens indie-rockers Dead Neighbors make their first appearance in Atlanta at the Mammal Gallery, and the EARL hosts a mostly-local grind/powerviolence bill (Manhunt from Australia also plays).
