In the past week, I may have mentioned to some of you a dance party tonight off High St. tonight that I was supposed to DJ; well, it now looks like that party has been canceled.  However, we are still having a house party on my street, so come on over if you don’t have [...]

Sorry I didn’t blog about anything that happened tonight; all of today was pretty much just one continual trainwreck from start to finish. There was a screening at The Bridge, a Horsefang show at Outback and Corsair / 40 Boys show at Is…  hopefully y’all made it out to some of those. Tomorrow night / [...]

There’s a show at The Bridge tonight, with three cool bands you may not be familiar with… Tyger and the Lamb are a new-ish local mellow-rock act, and St Gods Hospital is the solo project by Caleb from the Handsome Guns. They’ve each been playing a few shows recently and getting a fairly warm reception. [...]
