February is well underway and the sheer amount of quality shows opening over the coming days makes one wish they’ve figured out that whole cloning thing already. Wish we could be in NYC, LA and UK all at once this weekend. Hard to pick just one, but a show that’s sure to get a ton of love on the web is the upcoming show at Lazarides featuring Bast and Faile. Also noteworthy is the final show taking place at Billy Shire’s Culver City location this Saturday. An end of an era, so don’t miss that one!
Check out all the eye candy worth catching after the jump.
