- Wednesday 13
- at Voodoo Lounge
- (7:30pm)

Wednesday 13 (also the singer's name, of the Murderdolls) takes on the darker side of rock and puts all their energy into the live show, making sure you get your money's worth. If a pack of rabid zombies had bar they all hung out in, Wednesday 13 would be the house band. Ghoulish rock with crunchy guitars and the singer's chainsaw voice turn the band in a force to be reckoned with.

- Suska Varda
- at JJ's Blues
- (9pm)
- Music
Suska Varda is an eclectic vocalist who covers an array of styles, ranging from jazz and folk to pop and rock. She's studied all the greats and her golden voice is a patronage to them, especially Billie Holliday, minus the nasally tinge to it. A jill-of-all-trades would be an appropriate moniker, because she never really sticks to a specific genre.
