Hey, these guys played The Thing. Their name is If All Ends Well. They killed it. And they’re also going to kill it Friday night at the Frederick Rock School as part of this month’s Friday Night Fights. Joining them will be a slew of bands, including Goner, who we questioned-and-answered last week. It’s only three bucks, friends. Check it out. Also this weekend, Crooked Hills, who may or may not be coming down the Frederick One Take line, will be at Cafe Nola, with this silly band, who were on tour last week in Virginia. Don’t know what that’s about. Also of note this weekend is the 72 Hours Film Fest launch party, which will feature some rock and roll from Cheshi. So, don’t miss that. Plus Darlene Love, a gosh-darn legend, gosh-darn-it, will be taking the Weinberg stage Friday night. You best not ignore that, friends. You best not. There’s some open mics. There’s some bluegrass. There’s some Flatfoot Sam. There’s some As If. There’s some Monocacy Jazz Quartet. There’s some Doug Alan Wilcox (podcast shoutout!). There’s some Twenty Dollar Profit. And then there’s some Dr. Rabbit. Hop. Hop. October is in full swing, people. Get up. Get out. Do something.
