AD Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Muffler Crunch are rock and roll in the best sense of the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 What are the two of you up to this evening?The one of me is staying in tonight.The percussive jazz tweeked my nipples a little bit BradM.Note that Avant-Garde Bar is more of a sit-down kind of bar; it doesn't have a PA or a dance floor. (Check out this picture; the stage is that area under the windows where the stools are.) If you're looking for a typical music club kind of show, it may not be to your taste.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeeJig Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thanx for the heads up BradM. Although you don't know me well, you obviously know me well enough that I am in the mood to dance.Rock 'N' Roll it is!Thanx again boys. My friends may make their way to the jazz ensemble, but I think I'll keep my bananas close to the muffler crunching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeeJig Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 A week later I am in the same boat. Any funky things going on tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) The Arkells (plus Bombs and Sin Kickers) are at Zaphod Beeblebrox tonight. (At least, I think they are; Zaphod lists them, but the band lists a gig today in Hamilton. You might want to call ZB to make sure. (And note that because it's a Zaphod show, it'll be early: doors at 8:00pm, with the bands over by 11:00pm or 11:30pm.)Aloha,Brad Edited November 23, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Also, tickets might be sold out but Flecton Big Sky is releasing his new record tonight at the Elmdale and it is sure to be a great show. I think it's $8 cover. But get there early. Isn't Chris Cornell tonight at lansdowne? and hawksley workman at the bronson centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I've listened to The Coggs album and I like it. I think if budget weighs on your decision, seeing this band doing gritty blues to more ambitious 70's Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence but anything with Eddie Vedder or Chris Cornell gives me nausea reminiscent of the spanish flu.As for Flecton Big Sky, I am not familiar with them. Style?
