Now, there’s a video we haven’t shared in a bit. Behold Silent Old Mtns. performing at one of our sessions 20,194 years ago. They’ll be at Cafe Nola tomorrow night (that’s Friday for those keeping score), and you should care. You should also care that we are readying a brand new video series set to unleash next week. Be ready, friends. Be very, very ready. Elsewhere this weekend … well, Flying Dog is releasing a beer and this one band is playing the party, along with Jack Funk. There’s a radical Battle Of The Bands going on as we type this over at Champion Billiards, and considering how we spoke with each competitor, you really should just stop reading this right now and head over there to check it out. There’s Alive @ Five. There’s some jazz over at Beans In The Belfry. There’s Sam with his flat foot. There’s The Few. And then there’s Phurious George. Try to stay cool as the heat sets in friends. Remember to drink water. Always. Drink. Water.
