Advance Notice: The Week in Happening 3/15-21

Mid-week you are advised to be more creative than to stumble into the nearest crappy Irish themed bar.  I mean, really.

Mon – 3/15

  • I Was Totally Destroying it / Mobley / En Serenade @ Local 506 – $5

Tues – 3/16

  • Dexter Romweber (solo) @ The Cave – $TBA
  • Music Trivia Night @ The Pinhook – Win a round, win a pitcher. Enough said. $FREE!

Wed – 3/17

  • Unknown Hinson / Blood Red River @ Berkeley Café – Unknown Hinson, a musician, performance artist (?), and the voice of Early on the Squidbillies, is a total nut. See: this.  Wednesday night there’s going to be a sideburn and beehive contest at the show, which is enough of a reason in itself to advertise it. I mean, right?  $15
  • Fruit Bats  / Blue Gient / The Singleman Affair @ Local 506 – $10 adv / $12 at the door
  • St. Patty’s Day with Penny Prophets / Randy Whitt’s Celtic Celebration @ The Cave – $TBA
  • St. Patrick’s Day Mug Night with Waylandsphere / The Oatmeal Conspiracy / Triple Wide @ The Pour House – $6

Thurs – 3/18

  • The Black Lips / Box Elders @ Cat’s Cradle – …because even though that one guy spits loogies in the air and catches them in his mouth, at least he doesn’t pee on stage anymore (as my friend Austin warned me one time). Oh and also because they make great gritty rock’n’roll. $10 adv / $12 day of the show

Fri – 3/19

  • The Mercury Program / Fin Fang Foom @ Local 506 – $8
  • Dance Party to Benefit Choice USA @ The Pinhook – $5

  • Athens Boys Choir / 8 inch Betsy / Pink Flag / Pariah Piranha @ Local 506 – Should you be confused about who Athens Boys Choir is this video is a decent primer. $7
  • Dance Party to raise funds for sending people to the Human Rights Conference at the Hague @ The Pinhook – $5
