You guys remember that movie The Ice Storm? I don't exactly, but I vaguely recall something about Christina Ricci flashing her biz (nice), Kevin Kline going to a key party and Elijah Wood getting electrocuted by a guardrail. I know that's right.
Anyhow, seeing as how I composed this entry in the past, I really have no idea whether or not it's icy out as you're reading it, but I'll bet the grocery stores are all out of bread and batteries either way. Some damn fine shows this weekend. Seriously. Wax Fang, Nick Oliveri, Tom Green, yacht rock. That's just the tip of the ice burg. See Friday AND Saturday's best biz after the jump.
Friday:
* The Clipse w/N.O.B.O.T.S. & Future at Phatkaps. Remember? Maloney was talking about it. Good luck getting into this one.
* Nick Oliveri w/Millionaire Magicians at The End.
* Space Capone w/Yacht Rock Revue at Mercy Lounge. Mercy Lounge Drew loves that yacht rock. I mean, seriously. Maybe it's time for an intervention. UPDATE: Yacht Rock is rescheduled for Mar. 19. Space Capone will still be playing, with "special guests."
* Day of Fire w/Papercut Massacre & Halo Stereo at Exit/In. UPDATE: This show has been postponed for Feb. 10.
* Boom Ticket w/Samantha Gibb and the Cartel, Porkchop Express & C.B. Tucker Band at The 5 Spot.
* Eastern Block w/My Tyger and Kat Brock at The Basement.
* Branford Marsalis will be at Schermerhorn. That's pretty sweet, right?
* World Bazaar w/Xpia, The Wrong Kids & Vessel at Springwater.
* Tom Green will be at Zanies through Jan. 31 if you think you can hang with that. Daddy, would you like some sausage?
Here are the rest.
Saturday:
* The Non-Commissioned Officers w/Wax Fang & How I Became the Bomb at Exit/In. UPDATE: Postponed.
* Alcohol Stuntband w/Hans Condor & Losers Beat Winners at The 5 Spot.
* Parachute Musical w/Stephanie's Id & Overzealous at The End. UPDATE: Canceled.
* Bern Kelly w/Mercy Birds and Duquette Johnson at The Basement.
* Theo Case w/Stephen Rockford Hammond Band & Business Casual at Springwater.
* Bowling Green Invasion II at Mercy Lounge feat. Lee Harvey, The Foretold, Sleeper Agent, Downtown Handshake & much more.
Here's the rest of Saturday. As always, help us with corrections and let us know what we missed.
Showing 1-10 of 10
If the weather situation continues to worsen, we probably won't be playing tonight.
Anyone notice that Wax Fang are playing All Tomorrow's Parties as well as Tim Chad and Sherry and Monotonix? Very very cool.
Just so everyone can plan properly for my intervention, the Space Capone & Yacht Rock Revue show is still on for tonight as of right now; and it doesn't look like that's gonna change.
Yacht Rock pulled out, but apparently Space Capone is still on at Mercy tonight.
The Floating Men at the Rutledge was cancelled too.
