What's Going On: 10/17, 10/18, 10/19 & 10/20, 2019

Two area shows from Screaming Females this weekend as they celebrate the release of Singles Too

Swim Dad

A pair of swim meets this weekend as the cooldaughters hit the pool in different parts of Jersey. Not sure how much time I'll have for shows, but you should hit something.

Screaming Females are in Queens on Saturday and Trenton on Sunday. Asbury Underground returns to downtown Asbury Park. Against Me! play two nights at Starland. Lots more.

Have fun. Don't drink and drive.
