Don't fret: These are our Five Shows to See This Weekend.

Friday, January 4: Manny's Birthday Party @ Rogue Bar

Manny Tripodis -- owner of popular Scottsdale rock joint The Rogue Bar -- is about to add another candle to his birthday cake this weekend.

So many of the local indie bands that frequently grace the venue's stage are putting on a massive show in his honor. The lineup includes the likes of Doctor Bones, Snake! Snake! Snakes!, The Deer Leader, The Ice Waters, and The Woodworks, as well as Prague, Ruca, Field Tripp, and Sun Ghost, will each take turns performing and covering some of the affable Tripodis' favorite songs.

Plenty of bad-ass tunes to be performed at the affair, as well as Manny happy returns. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) -- Benjamin Leatherman
