Yes. The name of that band is Dr. Slothclaw. You’re welcome. It’s the weekend, friends. The fine band above, named after Mr. Slothclaw himself, will be taking the Cafe 611 stage Saturday night. You’ll want to take note. Also this weekend, the fabulous tap room concert series at Flying Dog continues as the fabulous Lucas Laws takes the stage. Remember Lucas and the Lovelys? We do. We miss them. Elsewhere, Thunderball will be rocking and rolling at Champions. Vini Culture is going to be hosting music two nights this weekend and that promises to be fun with a capital F, U and N. There’s The Deraileurs. There’s Staff Infection. There’s Atrox Terra. There’s Moon Music. And then, of course, there’s Boo Quostic, whatever the hell that means. Did you check out Cheshi’s Celebrity Playlist earlier this week? If you didn’t, you have all weekend to get hip. Be good. Be nice. Be honest. OK. Bye now.
