Black Kids, Soulfound, Dark Romantics and more

It's Friday and I'm still recovering from our Best of the Bay soiree. Yeah, the hangovers hurt more than they used to — and the recovery time is twice what it was in my early 20s.

Anyway, time to prep for the weekend.What show will you be attending? Soulfound? Black Kids? The Dark Romantics? Brad Paisley? How about the Shackeltons (pictured) tonight at the Skipperdome? Or John Prine? Here's what's shaking:

• Read my interview with alternarockers Soulfound, which are gearing up for a Saturday CD release bash at Gasoline Alley.

• The Dark Romantics sex up New World Brewery.

• Black Kids, Brad Paisley, Shackeltons, John Prine, Donna the Buffalo and more in Music Week.
