Until Sunday, the Cradle has been saying Bad Checks and Family Dollar
Pharaohs, not Flat Duo Jets. Has it changed since then?

The Brewery has Peterbilt and Hells Bells

Local 506 has The Amazing Delores

The Berkeley has Skeeter Brandon and Highway 61

Marrz has some big dance party, as do most of the other usual suspects (the
Ritz, Gotham, Players, Plumm Crazy)

Alive has Jam Pain Society and Nothing Face

The Cave has Lee Gildersleeve and the Bad Dog Blues Band

Sticks & Stones has Barefoot Servant, if you're in the
classic-rock-in-a-smokey-hot-pool-hall-with-unexplained-trees mood

You did ask.

P.S. Poindexter's rocks. No one at Best Buy ever hangs out and swaps gossip
about local bands or is John Howie.
