House of Blues is celebrating its fifth anniversary today by selling a bunch of concert tickets for only $5.
Of course, you could argue that House of Blues should pay you $5 to see Ace Frehley or Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, but who are we to look a gift horse in the mouth?

# 11/6 Hatebreed
# 11/7 Wish You Were Here — Sight & Sound of Pink Floyd
