This is a song from Bruce Take Nap and Bruce Take Nap will be performing at Area 31 Friday night along with Sunniva and Dizzy Spells. You should check it out, not only because it’s great, but also because this video has more than 70,000 clicks! Wow. That’s mighty impressive. So impressive, in fact, that you should go see them perform. Sound good? Good. Elsewhere on the weekend before the weekend before Halloween (but honestly: Isn’t the latter half of October “Halloween” anymore, anyway!?!), we have a plethora of open mics, including the most beloved one, which comes via Mr. “One M” himself. The K.O.S. Band, along with others, will be heading to the Cafe 611 stage for your entertainment. Something called Suga Grits will be at Cafe Nola and that ought to make you hungry. There’s going to be some HiJynx are Champion’s and everyone should always be up for some HiJynx. Speaking of hijinx, there will surely be some of that going down at the Eagles Club Saturday night when Crooked Hills, DaMood and this band take the Carpeted Stage. Word is costumes are mandatory, so don’t forget to dress like either a Frederick or a Playlist. And then there’s a Mr. Husband art show at 11:11 Cafe that you know will blow your mind. So go have your mind blown. The autumn chill is in the air, friends. Grab that scarf and head out to support local art. You most definitely will not regret it.
