This isn't actually the upstairs room at Kelly's - it's a free front bar show (and yes, 11pm). It's the band's first ever show. I don't know anything about them.

Bootleggers used to do '5 Bands for 5 Bucks', now it's 60% of the bands for 200% of the cost. This economy, man. (Nah but seriously, any venues opting to take a crack at free or cheap cash-on-door shows are legends, we appreciate all of you!)
