Top 10 Concerts this Weekend: Teenagers are the New Wolves?

photo credit: solidstate_

For a time, it seemed as though you couldn’t toss a Red Bull can without hitting some hip new band with “wolf” in its name (Guitar Wolf, We are Wolves, AIDS Wolf, Wolfmother, Peanut Butter Wolf… Who’d we miss?).

Now, it looks like the new buzz word might be “teenage.”

Don’t believe us? Check out our list of 10 Shows to See This Weekend for proof.

In addition to our top “teenage” picks, we’ve got a couple of semi-historic farewell shows and some freebies, too!
