I don't know what the hell is going on here, but the live music options in the next week+ are deafening.  Unless you pick up an indy week or have friends that are "connected", you might miss who's showing up.  Here are just the ones I happen to know, which isn't saying much and which probably means there are about twelve other shows worth seeing:

Tonight (Fri):
English Beat at cat's cradle (saw em last year; still got it)
(and of course matt wood's band in chapel hill)

Saturday:
Pink Martini, who I cannot say enough amazing things about.  Playing the NC museum of art. http://www.pinkmartini.com/sympathique/sympathique.mov for a taste.
Rosebuds & Chatham County Line at lincoln theatre

Sunday:  
Your day of rest.  However, there's an a cappella gospel choir at southern village that sounds pretty great.  

Monday:
No Doubt at walnut creek

Tuesday:
Steely Dan at DPAC

Wednesday:
Rosebuds at Duke Gardens followed nicely by....
Steve Earle at carrboro's arts center

Thursday:
Grizzly Bear at cat's cradle, who's supposedly amazing as propped by mr. russell.

Oh, and elvis costello next Sunday.  Koka booth.


Lights.
