Well, Cleveland, you were not forgotten, even though I left the city for Cincinnati this weekend. If you’re not making the trek to a festival this weekend (Pitchfork, Forecastle, or Bunbury), shame on you, but I still have love for you. And there’s still a ton of music going on this weekend in Cleveland.
Our suggestion? Head on over to the Grog Shop tonight for mewithoutyou. They’re playing with a great Philadelphia-based band called Buried Beds, and both prove to be a lot of fun and a good experience for your ears!
If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, here’s the best of the rest to keep you musically satiated this weekend!
