Whoops. Kelly's On King changed their ticketing provider and we lost our feed of their gigs. Sorry about that everyone! Service has now been restored and we should have them back in the mix.

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!)

Cop this sick lineup! Maple Moths I've previously enthused to friends as being "scorching down-tuned buzzsaw guitars riding atop deafening stoner-y bass and drums". No Cake are sick and include Pete Kostic (Regurgitator, Front End Loader) and Kat Harley (The Laurels, many other bands). Chimers offer a disarmingly punchy two piece guitar-and-drums sound. It's good.
