TONIGHT: THE GOURDS, Tractor Tavern, 8pm

If you have a "serious case of the Mondays" like I do, I can't think of anything better to pull you out of your funk than THE GOURDS cover of Snoop Dogg's "Gin & Juice". These boys bring it. Patrick Sweany opens.

TONIGHT: POLYRHYTHMICS, Nectar, 8pm

If you like groovy, horn-driven funk and soul, Nectar is the place to be tonight. It's Earth Day. Come down and get your dance on in honor of the mother of us all and our only home. Spekulation and DJ Absolute Madman open.

I love good times for a good cause!

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. (click the quote)

Why?

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
-Frank Zappa


Good music, especially good LIVE music, has the ability to lift me up and out of all the petty crap that conspires to get me down.
