Just because today marks the most dreaded day of the work week doesn't mean you can't pretend it's Friday and go concert hopping.
Sure, you'll probably regret every decision you've ever made the next morning, but at least you'll get to hear some pretty good music.
Just check out the five best concerts going down in South Florida this week from Kishi Bashi's eclectic beats at Culture Room to punk rock at the Summer Nationals Tour with Offspring at the Cruzan Amp to old-school hip-hip from Bizzy Bone and Flesh-N-Bone at Grand Central.
