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!)
