Wormtown Weekend

What's up this weekend? There are plenty of sites that will tell you what, where and when. This is the only info that matters. And it looks like The Hotel Vernon is the only place to be this weekend.
Friday, The Blow Up Dads and Blue Collar Union drift into The Ship room. The Dads feature Ron Roy, ex of Sheeze Late, and BCU features Jay Riley formally and currently from The Vejtabils, one of Wormtown's founding punk bands.

On Saturday, you know her, your love her, come celebrate Katie's Birthday in The Ship Room with The Numbskulls, Sadplant, The Pathetics, Reign of Pestilence, and from Boston, Not LA, the return of The Groinoids. They were a seminal punk band back in the 80's and they are returning to perform around the region and you need to be there.
I contacted The 'Skulls earlier this week and inquired about a flier for this show, so Alex whipped up that tremendous poster you see here. I had to post both, so you could decide which one represented the spirit of the show better.

Go grab a Gansett, stay for the rock, and say Happy Birthday to Katie. Maybe she'll pour you one.

And The Jabbers in the Ship Room

Wormtown Weekend

Just in time for the economic meltdown, the best show this week is free!
The Jabbers, the band formed in 1979 to play with GG Allin are performing in The Ship Room at The Hotel Vernon on Saturday along with The Pity Whores, Slitstich, And Way To Go!, from Portsmouth NH. Those of you who are familiar with GG and his bands, you know this will be a wild night. For those of you who aren't, here's some History.
From The Jabbers Myspace,
20 years later, The Jabbers have reunited to wreak their brand of Punk Rock and Roll havoc once more. Alan Chapple, Chris Lamy, and Mike ODonnell have been joined by new vocalist, Wimpy of The Queers and lead guitarist Harlan Miller, also who played with the Queers and more recently, the Tunnel Rats.
Coolest poster of the week goes to The Dave Rivers Band who are playing the Lucky Dog on Friday. I don't know anything about them.
And also on Friday, The Invictus Music Festival is at Ralph's with Huck, The Shills, The Wandas, and This Car Up. I know only one of those bands, but what does that matter? I'm not here to judge. Maybe you know and love them all. Go anyway.

It Ain't Nuthin' But A Party!

Yes, from Funky Judge.net, "In 1966 in Worcester, MA, Jay Geils, Magic Dick and Danny Klein formed a jug band called Snoopy And The Sopwith Camel. " They later hooked up with Peter Wolf and Stephen Jo Bladd of The Hallucinations to form The J Giles Blues Band. Go to funkyjudge.net for all the info.
