Yeah. A little dry for real rock and roll this week. Huck is playing Vincent's on Friday, and if you want to travel to New London CT there's an all day punk show featuring Sadplant and The Pity Whores on the fourth at a club called El N Gee. Other than that, I don't see much. You can always join the masses and watch the Fireworks tonight at East Pahk, but you're better off watching them from Ralph's parking lot where the ice cold Gansett's are only a few feet away. Speaking of Narragansett Beer, they will be in Wormtown next week with their "Rally to Build A Brewery" at Union Station on Thursday. More on that next week.
A couple of shows that I just found out about. The Electrolux Combo groove at Nicks tonight on Millbury St. Now featuring Steve Aquino on guitar. Go be part of the vibe.
Only one punk rock show this week. Bovachevo and The Young Leaves play the Hotel Vernon's Ship Room Saturday night. I have not seen these guys yet, but judging by the songs on their myspace pages, this will be a wild show. Don't waste your time anywhere else. What a tragic week for the rich and famous. Ed, Farrah, and Jacko. But by far, the biggest news to those of you who like real rock n roll is the passing of Sky Saxon, lead singer of The Seeds. He died on Thursday. One of the best 60's garage bands, they left their mark.
Look at this satellite shot of the USA. Most of the country is sunny and beautiful. We in New England are in are 4th day of rain. WTF?
You've probably seen this credit card ad. All famous food characters come together for dinner. Why is the Gorton's Fisherman there? He's not a cartoon. WTF?
Take a look at Ralph's upcoming schedule. I may be old and out of touch, but I've never heard of most of these bands. Who are they? And it looks like they are taking a page out of The Lucky Dog's book featuring "tribute" nights. WTF?
