AMG Weekend Picks: Tandoori Knights, Gringo Star, Lykke Li and More!

Things are a little mellow this weekend, probably with everyone gearing up for the big Turkey Fest coming up next week. But there is still a ton of incredible shows, and a donka-truck-tonnage of tickets going on sale, so you can get some Christmas shopping done too (and pick yourself up something nice while you’re at it). And, in non-music news, Kids in the Hall’s wonderful Dave Foley will be doing stand up comedy Thursday through Sunday at the Laughing Skull.
