Free Week is still kicking -- hard. There's a veritable horde of bands to catch tonight and tomorrow.

Tonight, Lounge patrons should keep their ears peeled for a lineup that's got very little to do with the lounge lizard tradition: Kissinger, the Midgetmen, Nathan Singleton and His Sideshow Tragedy, and the Blind Pets. Inside Emo's proper, check out Pack of Wolves, the Roller, Disgruntled I Hate You Face, and Confuzatron. And, out back this evening, Emo's will have Austin metal from At All Cost, pop rock from Rory and the Artificial Heart, as well as sets by Radioland Murders, AUX, and Monuments.

Tomorrow night, Emo's has three more piping hot lineups. Loungegoers can catch a mix of indie rock and experimental acts including Translations, Peel, P.D. Wilder, and Nectarine. The evening's other two lineups are part of the Australian Cattle God Showcase. Inside, catch the Snake Trap with Megazilla, Good Times Crisis Band, a Formatik Ontact, Red X Red M, and Manikin. And, out back, tune in for Gorch Fock with When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, Tia Carrera (the band, not the babe), and Lick Lick. According to the ACG website, neither Cat Scientist nor Migas (the band not the food) will be playing tonight.

Emo's free week continues through this Thursday, so get it while you can.
