Weekend Flyer: Nov. 15-17, 2013

Water Liars

First of all, let us just say that it’s going to be tough to decided what to do on Friday night, because the lineup of entertainment in Fayetteville is just insane.

The NWA Prison Stories Project performance we told you about earlier this week is happening at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. These performances only happen twice per year. Here’s all the information you need about that.

Music wise, excellent Mississippi band Water Liars are at the Lightbulb Club, along with stellar locals Teenagers, who are back from hiatus for their first show in a while. Here’s an interview with Teenagers from earlier this week.

At Rogue, Randall Shreve & The Sideshow is back in action for their last Fayetteville show this year with locals Friday Maybe Saturday and with New Imperialism (Wichita, KS).

There’s a big video game music show at Smoke & Barrel with MegaRan & K-Murdock, Professor Shyguy, Amanda Lupre, D&D Sluggers, and local rapper, Lucio.

On top of all that, indie band Moon Taxi, who was on Letterman earlier this week, is at George’s Majestic Lounge for a show Friday night.

Whew. Good luck.
