Cream Calendar Caligula Would Have Blushed: Birthday 8 off 8th Tonight
Posted by Steve Haruch on Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 8:41 AM
Hey, it's August 31, and you know what that means. It's a new day. It's a special day. It's the birthday of "two of the greatest, most vile, most decadent hedonists the world has ever known: blogger and etiquette queen Ashley Spurgeon, and former Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (aka 'Caligula')."
So that means drinking and bands, of course, and tonight's 8 off 8th at ye olde Mercy Lounge has a birthday-tacular theme in honor of the birth of the Spurge:
The Minor Keys
(Fawnky stuff.)
Electric Mayhem
(Matt Friction [Pink Spiders] and Dave Paulson [The Privates] play hits from The Muppets.)
Twee's Nuts
(Bawston Sean plus a lot of percussion? Maybe? Nobody really knows.)
Powerbrrrd
(The artists formerly known as Shit Sandwich.)
Denney and the Jets
(Members of MEEMAW and JEFF, so you know it's good.)
Daniel Pujol and Some Beaus
(See above, minus JEFF.)
Max and the Wild Things
(Described to us as a "Jonathan Richman-with-a-banjo approach to rock.")
Gunslinger
(The proggy side of jammy.)
As always, this action is free and starts at 9 p.m.

I'd like to add that Electric Mayhem's very own Animal is Nashville's very own Sam Smith of various fames.
Also, Electric Mayhem will be going fifthsies.
For all bands I am, as the kids say, "totes stoked."

video is not a bad idea.
i may have to assume responsibility for this.
and it's POWERBRRRD's first show. it will probably suck as much as most first shows do, but you'll want to be able to say you were there later when we're blowing shit up like Voltron.
