What's happening tonight.

I've been busy with other things and haven't gotten around to compiling a full list yet . . . but if you're wanting something to do tonight that's a) musical, b) inexpensive, and c) Jen-approved, well here goes:

THURSDAY (3 dec)

Thursday Night Confidential feat. Stephanie Braganza (11:30pm) and Ninth Planet (10pm) @ The Gladstone Hotel (Melody Bar), 9pm, free.

Clara Engel & Ghost Fetish (CD release) w/ Jaggery (Boston), Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys (Boston), and DJ set by Eklar @ the Central, 9pm, pwyc ($5 sugg).

* Lisa Bozikovic (CD release) w/ Snowblink and Jessie Kussin (Cry Rumble) @ the Music Gallery, 8-10pm, $8-12 (sliding scale). This will get started at 8pm, and will fill up, so get early. Lisa will be performing backed up by a full band. Should be awesome!

Do Right Music presents the Parkdale Food Bank Holiday Jam feat. the Jessica Stuart Few @ The Drake Hotel (Underground), 9pm, RSVP. "This is an RSVP-only event, with a non-perishable food donation.

Lots more at other venues, of course. If you're up to show-hopping and you're into folk-pop and country and the like, how 'bout Lisa Bozikovic and then over to the Holy Oak?
