Wednesday is seriously a great night of music: At the Casbah, you can catch Scotland's Young Fathers, who can boast TV on the Radio among their fans. They're one of the most talked about buzz acts -- you should definitely catch them while they're still under the radar. Meanwhile at Soda Bar, Lady Lamb performs. Her album has been on non-stop rotation in our household. Lady Lamb is for fans who like indie-pop with great storytelling à la Sylvan Esso, or even lyrically like Courtney Barnett minus the guitar distortion. If that still doesn't suit your fancy, Drive-By Truckers are at Belly Up, Rosewood & Rye are at The Merrow, and Al Howard hosts a night of songs and stories at Whistle Stop.
