It’s like Christmas in September. Or something like that. Either way, the above video features Silent Old Mtns., who will be rocking and rolling at Cafe Nola tomorrow night (that’s Friday for those keeping score at home). They are bringing some of their friends, and you should, too. Elsewhere this weekend, Cafe 611 is hosting some face-melting awesomeness with five bands set to take the stage. Jack Funk, ye of The Funk, will be plugging in at Olde Towne and that’s going to be something you shan’t miss. The Rock-A-Sonics are bringing the rock-a-billy to Barley & Hops, so head on out there to boogie down. The Frederick Rock School is hosting an open house, and there’s this band that’s set to play it. Alive @ Five is heading into its second-to-last act of the summer. The Great Frederick Fair is heading into its final three days, and those days will include some interesting entertainment. And then there’s Michelle Hannan & One Blue Night, who we One-Take-ed earlier this week. Speaking of that … you’ll be at The Thing, right? It’s only two weeks away. Your schedule is cleared, is it not? OK, cool. Good. See you there.
